    • Tyler Herro scores inefficient 15 points in rout
      Tyler Herro shot 6-of-19 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s Game 5 loss to the Celtics, recording a line of 15 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes.

      Advice: Miami was without Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. for Game 5, putting even more pressure on Herro to perform with the team’s season on the line. He struggled, as many guards do when dealing with Jrue Holiday. While he established new career-highs in points (20.8 per game), assists (4.5), and 3-pointers (3.1), injuries limited Herro’s fantasy value. Beginning the season with a Yahoo ADP of 68.9, he finished the regular season ranked just inside the top 90 in 9-cat, per-game value, according to Basketball Monster. If Herro can play 65-plus games, as he did during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, he’s capable of approaching top-60 fantasy value. He’ll be worth selecting in the 6th round of standard league drafts, depending on potential changes to the Heat roster. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:57 pm
       
    • Jayson Tatum grabs game-high 12 rebounds in rout
      Jayson Tatum logged 32 minutes in Wednesday’s 118-84 win over Miami, finishing with 16 points (4-of-9 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: The only people upset about Tatum’s performance may be bettors who placed money on his overs and DFS players hoping for a big night. Boston opened up an 18-point lead by the end of the first quarter, and things would only get worse for the visiting Heat in the series clincher. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown scored 25 points, and Boston’s reward is a few days off ahead of the second round. Next will be Cleveland or Orlando, with the Cavaliers leading that series three games to two. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:55 pm
       
    • Haynes: Porzingis could return for conf. finals
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is likely out for the second round but could be back if the Celtics advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

      Advice: Porzingis injured his calf during Boston’s Game 4 victory, which gave them a 3-1 lead over the Heat. While advancing to the second round isn’t guaranteed, the odds favor Boston. According to the report, Porzingis is unlikely to play during the second round, but he could be available if the Celtics reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Al Horford will replace KP in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:12 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable Thursday
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Knicks-76ers game.

      Advice: Mitchell Robinson is on the injury report after his defensive masterclass in Game 5. The Knicks big man amassed three steals and two blocks. It appears like he could split New York’s center minutes down the middle with Isaiah Hartenstein if he’s healthy for Game 6. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:07 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 6
      Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson missed Game 4 due to an ankle issue but returned for Game 5 and logged 25 minutes. The big man has averaged 3.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 21.3 minutes during the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Donovan Mitchell leads Cavs with 28 points in win
      Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 28 points (9-of-23 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one triple in a 104-103 win over the Magic in Game 5 on Tuesday.

      Advice: After two poor performances in Orlando, Mitchell vowed to play better moving forward. He did just that, and while he didn’t have his best shooting night, he was able to lead the team in scoring and ice the game with two a pair of late free throws. They’ll have a chance to close out the series in Orlando in Game 6 on Friday, but Mitchell will have to be much better than he was in Games 3 and 4. If he doesn’t they’ll be back in Cleveland on Sunday for Game 7. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Tobias Harris puts up 19/8 line in Game 5 win
      Tobias Harris provided a scoring boost on Tuesday with 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and three triples against the Knicks.

      Advice: Harris has struggled during this series, but this was his best performance through the first five games. He hit a pair of clutch free throws to give the 76ers a four-point lead in overtime, which contributed to his highest-scoring night of the series. He helped the 76ers stay alive, but they’ll need him to play like he did in this game moving forward if they want to pull off the comeback. Game 6 will be back in Philadelphia on Thursday.

    • Good to go Tuesday
      Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Robinson has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Game 4 with a left ankle sprain. Robinson will likely continue to split time with Precious Achiuwa as the backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 5 Tues.
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson is back after missing Sunday’s Game 4 victory. He will occupy his usual place in the rotation, serving as Isaiah Hartenstein’s backup. How much Robinson plays remains to be seen, especially with the OG Anunoby/Precious Achiuwa tandem being so effective in defending Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter of Game 4.
