    • Jalen Brunson makes Knicks history in Game 4 win
      Jalen Brunson shot 18-of-34 from the field and 9-of-11 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 win over the 76ers, accumulating 47 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Brunson had a game for the ages on Sunday, leading the Knicks to a win that gave them a 3-1 series lead. Not only did he establish a new playoff career-high with 47 points, but this was also a Knicks franchise record (Bernard King held the record at 46). Another piece of history for Brunson: he became the first player in Knicks playoff history to drop a line of at least 40 points and 10 assists. There was an injury scare at the end of the third quarter, as Brunson appeared to tweak his right knee, but the All-Star guard returned after spending a few minutes in the locker room. The Knicks will look to close out the series in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 12:57 pm
       
    • Returns after brief absence
      Brunson (leg) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Brunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter after appearing to bang knees with Kyle Lowry. Brunson was only in the locker room for a few minutes before being cleared to return. He's been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists through three quarters.

    • Leaves Game 4 early
      Brunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to an apparent right leg injury, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Brunson has been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists in 34 minutes, so his potential absence in the fourth quarter could be costly. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Miles McBride figures to get plenty of run in Brunson's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 12:10 pm
       
    • Posts double-double in Game 3 win
      Tatum logged 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 39 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 victory over Miami in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Tatum co-led the Celtics in scoring Saturday with Jaylen Brown, but Tatum also made his presence felt in other categories, particularly in the rebounding column, another category in which he led the team. Tatum's eight makes from the charity stripe salvaged what could've been a subpar scoring performance for the star forward, and he'll aim to bounce back from a poor shooting display in Game 4 on Monday.

    • Jayson Tatum records 22/11/6/0/1 line in Game 3
      Jayson Tatum played 38 minutes in Saturday’s 104-84 win over the Heat, tallying 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: While Tatum has scored at least 22 points in all three games, he’s been inconsistent regarding accuracy. He shot 50% from the field in Boston’s Game 2 loss but made fewer than 40% of his shots in Games 1 and 3 (both Celtics wins). Outside of the shooting, this was an efficient game for Tatum, who did not commit a turnover while recording his second double-double of the series. Derrick White also failed to record a turnover in Game 3, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers in 31 minutes. The Celtics, who lead two games to one, will look to strengthen their hold on the series in Game 4 on Monday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:36 pm
       
    • James Harden leads LAC with 21/2/5/2/1 line
      James Harden led the Clippers with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, five triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 loss to Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Harden tied Norman Powell as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. Harden was also able to contribute value across the board, though it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. He played 44 minutes in this game, which Tyronn Lue said was a result of Paul George being in foul trouble. Harden is still an effective player, but he’s going to need George to be better if they want to win this series without a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Harden will look to keep this production up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Dereck Lively II chips in 13 points off bench
      Dereck Lively II provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (6-of-8 FGs), two rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes against the Clippers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Lively only played nine minutes in Game 2 and ended up missing practice on Thursday because of some soreness in his lower back. However, he was able to play in Game 3, and he was able to make an impact off the bench. He scored all 13 of his points in the first half, which included five dunks. This was a solid game for the rookie, but Dallas will likely continue to lean on Daniel Gafford for most the center minutes. Rotoworld Friday, 8:17 pm
       
    • Jalen Brunson drops 39 points, 13 dimes in Game 3
      Jalen Brunson accumulated 39 points (13-of-27 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), two rebounds, 13 assists, and three 3-pointers in 45 minutes in Thursday’s 125-114 loss to Philadelphia.

      Advice: While the Knicks won the series’ first two games, they did so with Brunson struggling offensively. The supporting cast stepped up in those victories, and JB shined in a losing effort in Game 3. In addition to the 39 points, he dished out 13 assists and played 45 of a possible 48 minutes. No Knicks reserves reached double figures on Thursday, with Miles McBride (8/2/1/1 with two 3-pointers) leading the way. Getting Brunson back on track is a positive the Knicks can take into Game 4, which will be played on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Jayson Tatum scores 28 points in loss to Heat
      Jayson Tatum scored 28 points (10-of-20 FGs) and made six of his eight attempts from the charity stripe in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He also amassed eight rebounds, three assists, a block, and two made 3-pointers

      Advice: Tatum couldn’t quite match his production from Game 1 but was second among all players with 28 points while his rebounding and assist numbers dropped from his previous outing. Poor shooting from the supporting cast and lackluster defense led to Boston’s downfall despite efficient nights from Tatum and Brown. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:56 pm
