    • Joel Embiid (knee) deemed questionable Thursday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play against New York in Game 3 on Thursday.

      Advice: Though Embiid will continue to manage this knee injury, he isn’t going to sit out during the playoffs because of it. They’re down 0-2, and they’ll need a big performance out of him with the series shifting to Philadelphia. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Considered questionable for Game 3
      Embiid is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

      Advice: Embiid played 37 and 39 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series and totaled 63 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and a block during those contests. Despite the prolific stats, he hasn't looked 100 percent at times, but it'd be surprising if the reigning MVP didn't try to gut it out with his team facing a two-game deficit.

    • Khris Middleton (leg) posts 15/5/6 line in Game 2
      Khris Middleton (right leg) amassed 15 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers.

      Advice: Middleton, who missed some time toward the end of the regular season due to left ankle injury management, appeared to tweak something in his right leg during the first quarter of Tuesday’s defeat. The good news for the Bucks is that said issue did not significantly impact his playing time, but Middleton’s health is of even greater importance with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. With Patrick Beverley (5/4/3/1/2 in 34 minutes) on the court for defensive reasons, Milwaukee essentially played 4-on-5 in Game 2, and that’s even more difficult to do with Giannis out. Middleton will have a few days to rest, as Game 3 is not until Friday night. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Vintage performance Tuesday
      Conley ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

      Advice: Conley assumed more responsibility on the offensive end of the floor to help lead Minnesota to the win. Despite not always putting up noteworthy production, Conley is a vital piece for the Timberwolves. He provides them with veteran leadership, as well as a cool head when the going gets tough. Minnesota will look to take a commanding lead in the series when the team lines up for Game 3 Friday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Rudy Gobert tallies 18 points, full stat line
      Rudy Gobert accumulated 18 points (6-of-8 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one blocked shot in 39 minutes in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over the Suns.

      Advice: Minnesota has a 2-0 series lead, and Gobert’s consistent production is one of the reasons why. After tallying 14 points and 16 rebounds in Game 1, the Stifle Tower scored 18 on Tuesday with a full stat line. Gobert had gotten what he wanted offensively, and his work at the foul line was the bonus. After shooting 6-of-7 from the line on Saturday, he duplicated that feat in Game 2. Gobert’s production in Game 2 helped the Timberwolves compensate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ off night, as he finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 24 foul-plagued minutes. Game 3 of the series is on Friday night in Phoenix. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:42 pm
       
    • Mike Conley hits three triples, scores 18 points
      Mike Conley shot 7-of-13 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over Phoenix, amassing 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring four points on 2-of-12 shooting in the Timberwolves’ Game 1 victory, Conley was significantly better in Game 2. He shot over 50% from the field and was one of three Timberwolves to score at least 18 points, helping pick up the slack on a night when Anthony Edwards wasn’t at his best. While Ant-Man recorded a full stat line (15/5/8/3/1 with two 3-pointers), he shot 3-of-12 from the field (1-of-6 from two) and 7-of-8 from the foul line. Minnesota successfully managed the first two games of the series with inconsistent production from its starting guards, but they’ll need to be at their best in Game 3 on Friday.

    • Briefly exits Tuesday
      Middleton left Tuesday's game versus the Pacers with 6:21 remaining in the first quarter but had his ankle re-taped in the locker room and has returned to Milwaukee's bench, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Middleton came up limping after making contact with Pacers forward Pascal Siakam, causing him to briefly exit Tuesday's contest. However, it appears Middleton forward has avoided a serious injury and should be available for the remainder of Game 2. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:57 pm
       
    • Records double-double in 39 minutes
      Embiid totaled 34 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Despite laboring up and down the court at times, Embiid showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury and logged a full workload in the loss, but his prolific line wasn't enough to turn the tide. Embiid and Tyrese Maxey got no help from their teammates as the rest of the roster ended with fewer points than Embiid alone. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:31 am
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) posts 34/10/6/0/1 stat line
      Joel Embiid (left knee soreness) played 39 minutes in Monday’s 104-101 loss to the Knicks, tallying 34 points (12-of-29 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Embiid recorded a gaudy stat line in Game 2, but the reigning MVP is limited in his movements. While he did score 18 of his 34 points in the second half, he did not grab a single rebound. The two days off before Game 3 in Philadelphia are much-needed for Embiid, who deserves high praise for gutting through a knee that is nowhere near full strength. He should appear on the injury report ahead of Game 3, even though Embiid will be expected to play. Rotoworld Monday, 7:58 pm
