    • Efficient double-double in win
      Towns closed with 27 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 106-80 win over the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Towns was tasked with more responsibility on the defensive end since Rudy Gobert (personal) was unavailable for this contest. Even though he had to deal with Nikola Jokic on both ends of the court, Towns thrived and posted a great stat line. This was Towns' third double-double over his last four playoff appearances, and he's expected to return to his role at power forward in case Gobert is ready to return for Game 3 of the series, scheduled for Friday.

    • Karl-Anthony Towns records 27/12/1/1/2 line Monday
      Karl-Anthony Towns shot 10-of-15 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Monday’s 106-80 blowout of the Nuggets, tallying 27 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: Minnesota needed Towns to step up with Rudy Gobert (personal reasons) away from the team, and that’s what he did. KAT tied for the team lead in points, shooting 66.7% from the field while also grabbing 12 rebounds. He’s scored 20 points or more in three straight games, and not only was foul trouble not an issue for Towns, but he and the other starters were able to watch the end of Tuesday’s rout from the bench. Gobert should be available for Friday’s Game 3, but Minnesota needs Towns to play at this level consistently. Now 6-0 this postseason, the Timberwolves look like a team that can play into June.

    • Tyrese Haliburton scores six points in Game 1 loss
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 2-of-6 from the field in Monday’s 121-117 loss to the Knicks, recording a stat line of six points, two rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: The Pacers hope this series will work out similarly to their first-round triumph over Milwaukee regarding Haliburton’s offensive production. He reached double figures in the final five games of that series after scoring nine points in the first-round opener, and the All-Star point guard was limited to six on Monday night. Haliburton did rack up eight assists and four steals, so all wasn’t lost for DFS players. However, he’ll need to do more as a scorer in this series, even with Indiana’s overall firepower. Haliburton will look to rebound in Game 2 on Wednesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:42 pm
       
    • Quiet offensively in Game 1 loss
      Haliburton posted six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight assists, four steals and two rebounds over 36 minutes in Monday's 121-117 loss to New York in Game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Haliburton had a quiet performance offensively in the first game of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, though he still impacted the game in other ways, including by leading the Pacers in assists and steals despite failing to reach double figures in scoring. Haliburton posted his lowest point total of the postseason thus far, failing to reach double digits for the second time in seven playoff contests. Haliburton has been dealing with back spasms, and that may have affected his performance Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:30 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) will play in Game 1 against the Knicks on Monday.

      Advice: Unsurprisingly, Haliburton will suit up for the first game of this series. He is still managing this back issue, but he didn’t miss any time during round one. He should continue to start and play a ton of minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:41 pm
       
    • Officially gets green light
      Haliburton (back) is available for Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton will continue to play through a back issue that flared up ahead of Game 4 of the opening-round series versus the Bucks. After landing on the injury report, Haliburton averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 32.7 minutes per game over the final three matchups against Milwaukee.

    • Expected to play
      Coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Haliburton, who's officially listed as questionable due to back spasms, to play in Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Given it's the playoffs and he didn't miss time during the opening-round series versus Milwaukee, Haliburton was already considered more probable than questionable, so this isn't a surprising update. After the back spasms flared up, Haliburton played 32.7 minutes over the final three matchups against the Bucks compared to 40.3 minutes across the first three games, though one of those was an overtime contest. Even if he was a bit limited, Haliburton remained productive despite the back issue, as he averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds after landing on the injury report.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable for Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton dealt with low back spasms during the Pacers’ first-round series against Milwaukee but did not miss any games. T.J. McConnell and Ben Sheppard would pick up additional minutes if the All-Star point guard cannot play on Monday, but DFS players should expect Haliburton to be available.

    • Questionable for Game 1
      Haliburton is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks due to back spasms.

      Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Game 4 of the Pacers' opening-round series versus the Bucks but ultimately got the green light and averaged 19.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 32.7 minutes over the final three matchups versus Milwaukee. Given it's the postseason and he hasn't missed a game yet, Haliburton is likely more probable than questionable, but his official availability will be a game-time decision.
