    • Goes for 21 points in Game 1 loss
      Murphy notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Murphy extended his streak of games scoring in double figures to 14 appearances (12 starts), and he ended up as New Orleans' leading scorer in this Game 1 loss while carrying the team at times in the second and third quarters. Murphy can get hot in any moment of a game, but even if that doesn't happen, he sees enough touches to make a consistent impact on offense. Expect Murphy to remain in the first unit -- while experiencing a slight uptick in his usage rate -- as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:19 am
       
    • Passive performance Sunday
      Haliburton accumulated nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-94 loss to the Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Haliburton managed just nine points in the Game 1 loss, with the Bucks doing a great job containing his offensive prowess. The two teams will face off again Tuesday, and should the Pacers hope to head home with the series tied at 1-1, they are going to need Haliburton to be more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor.

    • Trey Murphy hits five triples, scores 21 points
      Trey Murphy logged 44 minutes in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder, posting a line of 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks, and five 3-pointers.

      Advice: Once again starting for the injured Zion Williamson (hamstring), Murphy was excellent on both ends of the floor in Game 1. The third-year wing made some timely baskets as the Pelicans mounted a rally that fell two points short while racking up four “stocks.” Offseason knee surgery derailed Murphy’s progress early in the season, but he has played solid basketball recently, outside of the Pelicans’ regular-season finale against the Lakers. With Oklahoma City devoting much of their defensive attention to CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram, Murphy and Herb Jones won’t lack opportunities to score. Jones struggled in Game 1, shooting 2-of-10 from the field and finishing with eight points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    • Tyrese Haliburton attempts seven shots in Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton accounted for nine points (4-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to the Bucks.

      Advice: Haliburton recorded a full stat line in his playoff debut, but his offensive impact was limited. He attempted seven shots, six fewer than backup point guard T.J. McConnell, who finished with 10 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Part of that was by design, as the Bucks aggressively denied Haliburton opportunities to operate in the open floor. Indiana needs to ramp up the pace in Game 2 on Tuesday because that changes everything regarding the quality of shots the team gets, from Haliburton on down. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:17 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in 20-point game
      George registered 22 points (8-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 win over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: George had a strong performance from deep in Sunday's Game 1 victory, connecting on a quartet of threes while ending second on the team in scoring and as one of three Clippers with 20 or more points in a winning effort. George, who also hauled in a half-dozen rebounds, concluded the regular season by scoring at least 20 points in six of his final 10 outings. George and teammate James Harden will continue to function as the top offensive options for the Clippers if Kawhi Leonard (knee) misses additional time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:48 pm
       
    • Anthony Edwards takes over, finishes with 33 PTS
      Anthony Edwards shot 14-of-24 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s 120-95 win over the Suns, scoring 33 points with nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: While Edwards was responsible for six of the Timberwolves’ 14 turnovers, he was at his best during the third quarter. Shooting 8-of-11 from the field, he scored 18 of his game-high 33 points in the frame. Edwards needed to up his production, as backcourt partner Mike Conley shot 2-of-12 from the field and finished with four points, three rebounds, and seven assists in 27 minutes. Conley shouldn’t play that poorly in Tuesday’s Game 2, but his production won’t change anything for Edwards, one of the NBA’s best young talents. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:12 pm
       
    • Leads way in near double-double
      Edwards ended Saturday's 120-95 victory over the Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 33 points (14-24 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

      Advice: Edwards did it all for Minnesota in Saturday's Game 1 victory at home, leading all players in the contest in scoring while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to go along with a half-dozen assists. Edwards, who also led the Timberwolves in threes made, took over the third quarter of Saturday's contest, scoring 18 of his 33 points in that frame. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:00 pm
       
    • Available for Game 1 on Sunday
      Holiday (knee) is not on the injury report and will be available to face the Heat on Sunday.

      Advice: Holiday didn't play in Boston's final two games of the regular season due to a left knee injury, but that was more of a maintenance move to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Look for Holiday to handle his regular workload in the backcourt in the series opener. He averaged 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 32.8 minutes per game during the regular season.

    • Trey Murphy tallies 16 points, eight rebounds
      Trey Murphy played 43 minutes in Friday’s win over Sacramento, amassing 16 points (6-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Due to Zion Williamson (hamstring) sitting, Murphy was back in the starting lineup for Friday’s “winner-take-all” matchup with the Kings. He was productive, with the turnover count (four) being the most significant issue. During the regular season, Murphy averaged 16.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 3.3 3-pointers per game in 23 starts. At a minimum, the Pelicans will need similar production in their first-round series against the Thunder, which will begin on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 9:33 pm
