    • ORL start Suggs, Harris, Wagner, Banchero, Carter
      The Magic will start Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter Jr. against the Cavaliers on Thursday.

      Advice: Wendell Carter Jr. will start at center after backing up Jonathan Isaac in Games 1 and 2. Orlando is reverting to its usual regular-season lineup in hopes of securing a home win against the Cavaliers in Game 3. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
       
    • Starting in Game 3
      Carter is in the starting lineup to face the Cavaliers on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Carter was the starting center for the majority of the regular season, and he will slot back into that role as the Magic attempt to shake things up ahead of a pivotal Game 3 at home. Carter has averaged 10.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in a starting role this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
       
    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
      Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

      Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:24 pm
       
    • Posts 22/7/6 line in victory
      Turner produced 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Turner's value for the Pacers can't be understated, as the veteran consistently provides solid interior support. Interestingly, his exposure in fantasy contests is very low, making him one of the most underrated centers in the playoff bracket. Although players like Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson challenged Turner for playing time in the regular season, neither of the backups saw any playing time in Indiana's Game 2 win.

    • Myles Turner tallies 22 points, three blocks
      Myles Turner played 34 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Bucks, amassing 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: After shooting 5-of-17 from the field in Sunday’s Game 1 defeat, Turner was considerably better in Game 2. He was efficient as a scorer, shooting 60% from the field and 50% from three while also accounting for six assists (and no turnovers) and three blocked shots. If Turner can consistently reach this level of play, the Pacers can win this series, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains sidelined. Game 3 is on Friday in Indianapolis.

    • Sinks game-winning shot Monday
      Murray ended Monday's 101-99 victory over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 20 points (9-24 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 39 minutes.

      Advice: Even though Nikola Jokic stole the show with a triple-double, it was Murray who ended up being the hero for the Nuggets, as his buzzer-beating fadeaway gave Denver a massive win despite the team trailing by as many as 20 points at one point in the third quarter. Murray has scored at least 20 points in each of his last six appearances dating back to the regular season, and the star floor general should handle a prominent role in Game 3 on Thursday as the series shifts to Los Angeles.

    • Jamal Murray scores 14 fourth-quarter points Mon.
      Jamal Murray played 40 minutes in Monday’s 101-99 win over the Lakers, tallying 20 points (9-of-24 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, and two blocked shots.

      Advice: Murray had a rough night overall but saved his best for last. He scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, including a fadeaway over Anthony Davis’s outstretched hand as time expired to give Denver a 2-0 series lead. Murray also shot 9-of-24 from the field in Game 1 but shot 4-of-9 from three on Saturday. On Monday, he missed all five attempts from beyond the arc. The series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3, which will be played on Thursday. Rotoworld Monday, 9:44 pm
       
    • Myles Turner records 17/8/2/2 stat line vs. Bucks
      Myles Turner shot 5-of-17 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to Milwaukee, accounting for 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

      Advice: At first glance, Turner recorded a decent stat line in Sunday’s series opener. However, he was 3-of-10 from three and 5-of-17 overall, offering minimal value in the paint on both ends of the floor. Turner’s ability to hit perimeter shots is a valuable asset, but the Pacers may need a little more from him in the interior in this series. Also, he did not record a blocked shot after tallying at least one in his final 13 games of the regular season. Turner and the Pacers will look to rebound on Tuesday when the teams get together for Game 2. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:12 pm
