  • 103-76-1 3rd Place
    • Lifts offensively in Game 4 victory
      George recorded 33 points (11-19 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals across 43 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 win over the Mavericks in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: George led all players in Sunday's contest in threes made while ending with a team-high-tying point total and leading all Clippers players in assists and steals to help Los Angeles get a much-needed win to even the series with Dallas entering Game 5. George's point and assist totals are his highest of the series thus far, tallying at least 20 points in three straight games. George and James Harden will need to continue to lead the Clippers as they attempt to take a series lead in Game 5 in Los Angeles. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
       
    • Owns glass despite shooting woes
      Hart racked up four points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 46 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 victory over Philadelphia in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Hart dominated Game 4 on the glass, leading all players in the contest in rebounds to go along with a handful of assists despite not making a single shot from the field in a winning effort. Hart, who ended three boards shy of the 20-rebound mark, became the first player in NBA playoff history to have over 15 rebounds and five assists while not converting on a shot from the field. Hart has impressed on the glass this postseason, hauling in 13 or more boards in three straight outings. Rotowire.com Today, 5:44 pm
       
    • Paul George tallies 33 points, seven 3-pointers
      Paul George shot 11-of-19 from the field and 4-of-7 from the foul line in Sunday’s 116-111 win over the Mavericks, scoring 33 points with six rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block, and seven 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

      Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, the Clippers desperately needed George to bounce back from a brutal Game 3 performance. That’s precisely what happened: he scored 26 points in the first half as the Clippers led by as much as 31. Dallas rallied, eventually taking the lead during the fourth quarter, but George made a seemingly improbable corner 3-pointer to help seal the deal. The Clippers head home tied at two games apiece, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm
       
    • Josh Hart grabs 16 rebounds in Game 4 victory
      Josh Hart accounted for four points (0-of-7 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 16 rebounds, five assists, and three blocked shots in 45 minutes in Sunday’s 97-92 win over Philadelphia.

      Advice: After watching Hart shoot over 50% from three in the first three games of the series, Philadelphia devoted more attention to him in Game 4. While he had a brutal afternoon shooting the basketball, Hart showed that there’s more than one way to impact a game. He led all players with 16 rebounds and tallied five assists and three blocked shots. In addition to the shooting, the five turnovers were a negative, but Hart was more of a positive asset than a negative one. He’ll look to get back on track shooting-wise when the Knicks host Game 5 on Tuesday. New York leads the series three games to one. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm
       
    • Falls flat in second half
      Mitchell produced 18 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, six assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Mitchell scored all 18 points in the first half and went 0-for-4 from the field with four turnovers in the second half as Orlando cruised to a Game 4 victory, evening the series at 2-2. After totaling 53 points (20-43 FG) through the first two games in Cleveland, Mitchell scored only 31 points during the two losses in Orlando. Through four matchups, Mitchell is shooting only 42.5 percent from the field. Rotowire.com Today, 7:21 am
       
    • Bounces back in Game 4 win
      Russell ended Saturday's 119-108 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Russell faced tons of scrutiny following a woeful effort in a Game 3 loss during which he finished scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), but he bounced back admirably and reached the 20-point mark for the second time in this series. Russell will need to carry his hot hand into Game 5 if the Lakers want to avoid elimination Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:25 pm
       
    • Massive triple-double not enough
      Jokic closed Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes.

      Advice: Jokic has two triple-doubles and two double-doubles in the current series against the Lakers, but unlike in the previous three contests, he was unable to carry Denver to victory following yet another slow start. Jokic's individual numbers have been amazing in the series, though, as he's averaging 29.0 points, 15.3 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. He'll aim to lift the Nuggets to close the series out Monday in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic drops 33/14/14/1/1 line in Game 4
      Nikola Jokic accumulated 33 points (10-of-20 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes in Saturday’s 119-108 loss to the Lakers.

      Advice: Denver failed to capitalize on its first opportunity to close out the Lakers, but Jokic still had an impressive night at the office. The Joker recorded his second triple-double of this series and 18th in his postseason career, dropping a full stat line in Game 4. Saturday’s game was Jokic’s least accurate of the series, and he still made 50% of his attempts. Stats are unlikely to be a problem for him in Game 5 on Monday, as the Nuggets take their second shot at closing the series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:30 pm
       
    • D’Angelo Russell bounces back, scores 21 points
      D’Angelo Russell amassed 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 41 minutes in the Lakers’ Game 4 win over the Nuggets on Saturday.

      Advice: Despite the questions regarding whether or not he would change the starting lineup, Lakers coach Darvin Ham stuck with the same five with his team’s season on the line. Russell, who went scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting in Game 3, rewarded his coach’s faith, rebounding and scoring an efficient 21 points on Saturday. While Russell struggled throughout last season’s Western Conference Finals, he has been up and down in this series. The Lakers will need him to break that trend in Game 5 on Monday if they’re to force a Game 6. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:16 pm
