    • Strong from deep in Game 4 defeat
      Oubre ended Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.

      Advice: Oubre had another strong offensive outing for Philadelphia in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Oubre has been a nice third option for the 76ers in the first-round series behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, tallying at least 15 points in two of the four games and surpassing the double-digit mark in three outings.

    • Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 19 points in Game 4 loss
      Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 loss to the Knicks, tallying 19 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 15 points in Philadelphia’s Game 3 victory, Oubre was even more productive in Game 4. Only Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored more points among 76ers players, and the Tsunami Papi recorded his second full stat line of the series (Game 2). Given how quiet Tobias Harris has been this series, Oubre has emerged as Philadelphia’s third option on the offensive end of the floor. Unfortunately for the 76ers, they find themselves in a 3-1 hole heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night in New York. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:28 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 Saturday, 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 Saturday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Rough night Saturday
      McCollum produced 16 points (7-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: McCollum went just 7-of-22 from the field, summing up another rough night for the Pelicans. After falling behind early, New Orleans was never able to get back into the game, shooting just 38.1 percent from the floor as a team. Game 4 will be Monday, when the Pelicans will look to restore some pride by avoiding a sweep. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:25 pm
       
    • CJ McCollum produces 16/5/7/2/1 line in loss
      CJ McCollum struggled with his shot but still contributed 16 points (7-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, two triples and six turnovers against the Thunder on Saturday.

      Advice: McCollum may have produced solid value in the box score, but this wasn’t an efficient performance for him. He started 1-of-10 from the floor, and he accounted for six of the team’s 20 turnovers. New Orleans has needed more out of McCollum with Zion Williamson sidelined, but that hasn’t happened. They’ll host the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday, and McCollum will have to be much better than he was in this one if they want to avoid the sweep and keep their season alive.

    • Sniffs triple-double in Game 3
      Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

    • Nikola Jokic posts 24/15/9/1 stat line in Game 3
      Nikola Jokic amassed 24 points (9-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, nine assists, and one steal in 39 minutes in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers.

      Advice: All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters accounted for at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, with Jokic finishing one assist shy of a triple-double. The Nuggets have now won the last 11 games they’ve played against the Lakers, and it feels like a matter of “when” they’ll end this series rather than “if.” Game 4 is on Saturday night, and Jokic could once again approach 40 minutes as the Nuggets go for the sweep.

    • Kelly Oubre Jr. records 15/7/3/2 line in Game 3
      Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 6-of-8 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday’s 125-114 win over the Knicks, amassing 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: While Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will lead the way offensively for the 76ers, they will need production from the “others” if they’re to win the series. Oubre and Cam Payne stepped up in Game 3, with the latter making the most of his minutes after not playing at all in Game 2. Oubre was efficient offensively, shooting 75% from the field, and finished one blocked shot shy of a full stat line. As for Payne, he logged 16 minutes and finished with 11 points, one rebound, three assists, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. Philadelphia will need more of the same from Oubre and Payne in Game 4 on Sunday, as the Knicks still hold a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:42 pm
