    • Pascal Siakam makes franchise history in Gm 2 win
      Pascal Siakam shot 16-of-23 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks, scoring 37 points with 11 rebounds, six assists, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: The Pacers evened their series at one win apiece, and Siakam led the way. Spicy P made some history, becoming the first Pacer to record a 30-point double-double in two consecutive games. Also, Siakam is tied with Paul George for the most 30-point double-doubles in a single postseason in franchise history. The Siakam matchup may be where the Bucks miss Giannis Antetokounmpo the most, as Siakam did whatever he wanted in the first two games. The series shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Friday.

    • Franz Wagner (shoulder) points 18/7/2/1/1 line
      Franz Wagner (right shoulder) accounted for 18 points (5-of-17 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes in Monday’s 96-86 loss to Cleveland.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner had a rough night offensively. In addition to the poor shooting, he committed six of Orlando’s 16 turnovers (Banchero also had six). Also, Wagner appeared to injure his right shoulder during the final minute to make matters worse. Play never stopped, so he remained on the court through the final buzzer, which may land Wagner on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s Game 3. The other injury concern is Jalen Suggs, who strained his left knee during the first quarter. He returned to begin the third and finished with nine points, six rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 29 minutes. Rotoworld Monday, 7:18 pm
       
    • Nears 20 points in balanced outing
      Wagner tallied 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Wagner struggled to find his shot a bit in Monday's defeat but still provided a lift offensively by ending two points shy of the 20-point mark while leading all Magic players in rebounds in a balanced performance. Wagner has put together back-to-back strong showings for Orlando to start the opening-round series, posting 18 points and seven boards in both contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Leads all scorers in loss
      Siakam finished Sunday's 109-94 loss to Milwaukee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 36 points (15-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes.

      Advice: Siakam scored a game-high 36 points, doing everything he could to keep the Pacers competitive during Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Bucks. It was arguably his best game since arriving in Indiana, a performance he will need to replicate should they hope to steal Game 2 before heading home. Rotowire.com Apr 21, 10:35 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam scores game-high 36 points in Game 1
      Pascal Siakam played 40 minutes in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to the Pacers, finishing with 36 points (15-of-25 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Siakam was the lone Pacers star to get anything going offensively in Game 1. While his production is not a surprise, given the combination of talent and postseason experience, the Pacers will need more from Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner to win the series. Siakam is problematic for Milwaukee to defend, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Spicy P will look to have another big night on Tuesday when the teams meet in Game 2.

    • Sniffs triple-double in win
      Gordon accumulated 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Gordon didn't do much in the first two quarters since he was dealing with foul trouble, but he stepped up in the second half and delivered a strong showing, ending just three assists away from a triple-double. The Nuggets will go as far as Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray can carry them, but Gordon's contributions on both ends of the court will be pivotal for the team's success. Gordon should continue to see favorable matchups in this series as long as he gets paired with Rui Hachimura. Rotowire.com Apr 20, 8:47 pm
       
    • Stuffs stat sheet in loss Saturday
      Wagner posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic in this loss, and while Wagner had a rough outing from the field, he still salvaged his fantasy value by delivering a strong performance across the board, particularly on defense. Most of Wagner's value is tied to what he can do offensively, however, and on that note, he's now scored 18 or more points in six of his last seven appearances dating back to the regular season.

    • Franz Wagner finishes Game 1 loss with 18 points
      Franz Wagner shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-4 from the foul line in Saturday’s 97-83 loss to the Cavaliers, amassing 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: While Paolo Banchero (24 points) led the Magic in scoring, Wagner had the more efficient playoff debut. While recording a full stat line, he did not commit a turnover in 38 minutes on the court. Banchero had a usage of 30.5, with Wagner coming in at 19.1. These two will continue to run the show for a Magic squad that lacks a playmaking lead guard capable of logging heavy minutes, which will benefit Wagner. He and the Magic will look to rebound on Monday when the teams meet again in Game 2 in Cleveland. Rotoworld Apr 20, 1:36 pm
       
    • Drops 11 in defeat
      Murray closed with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to New Orleans.

      Advice: Murray had to leave the game in the second quarter due to a hip problem, and even though he returned in the second half, he didn't look at his best -- and he was certainly not as good as he was against the Warriors in the previous round of the Play-In Tournament. Murray ends his second professional campaign with averages of 15.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 33.6 minutes per game -- all slight improvements from his rookie season.
