    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out for Game 4 Sunday
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Anunoby was not expected to be available for Game 4, so this status update is unsurprising. Precious Achiuwa started Game 3 and had issues defending Pascal Siakam. Anunoby’s absence also freed up rotation minutes for Alec Burks, who scored 14 points on Friday.

    • Ruled out for Game 4
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns hits four 3-pointers, scores 14
      Karl-Anthony Towns accumulated 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets.

      Advice: The good news for Towns is that he shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. The bad is that he attempted seven shots overall, which is inexcusable for an offensive talent of his caliber. Friday’s game was the first in which KAT failed to reach double figures since Game 2 of Minnesota’s first-round sweep of the Suns. While the Timberwolves could get away with that against Phoenix, the reigning champs are different. Towns needs to be more aggressive in Game 4 on Sunday night, with the Timberwolves still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Friday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Leader from deep in Game 3 loss
      Towns posted 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes in Friday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Towns didn't get much going offensively outside of connecting on a team-high mark from three, ending the contest as one of four players with a double-digit point total to go along with a handful of rebounds in a losing effort. Towns failed to reach the 15-point mark for just the second time this postseason, and he had scored at least 20 points in each of the first two games against Denver. Towns may have to come out in Game 4 looking for more opportunities offensively and displaying more aggressiveness if Minnesota wants to take a commanding 3-1 series advantage.

    • Woj: OG Anunoby could also miss Game 4 Sunday
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is not expected to be available for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby injured his hamstring during the third quarter of Wednesday’s Game 2 victory. While it has been reported that he will also miss the second of New York’s two games in Indianapolis, there’s a possibility that OG will be sidelined beyond that. Precious Achiuwa started Friday’s Game 3, and Anunoby’s absence also frees up additional minutes for Miles McBride. Rotoworld Friday, 4:24 pm
       
    • Out for Game 3, but with team
      Anunoby (hamstring) remains out for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, but he traveled with the Knicks to Indiana, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

      Advice: Anunoby will miss the game due to left hamstring soreness, but his presence with the team suggests the Knicks aren't preparing for him to miss extended time. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Leading scorer in Game 2 defeat
      Tatum tallied 25 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Tatum once again led Boston offensively in Game 2, pacing all Celtics in scoring while handing out a team-high half-dozen assists to go along with a team-best rebound total in a well-rounded outing. Tatum, who also connected on a team-leading total from the free-throw line, has surpassed the 20-point mark in five of his seven games this postseason, adding at least seven rebounds to go with six-plus assists in three outings.

    • Jayson Tatum leads Celtics with 25 points Thursday
      Jayson Tatum shot 7-of-17 from the field and 9-of-11 from the foul line in Thursday’s 118-94 loss to the Cavaliers, accounting for 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: After shooting 7-of-19 from the field in Boston’s Game 1 victory, Tatum was slightly more accurate in Game 2. Unfortunately for him, that did not result in the win, as Cleveland’s “others” showed up while most of Boston’s did not. Even with Boston running three Miami in five games in the first round, efficiency has been an issue for Tatum this postseason. He shot 41.6% from the field against the Heat and has gone 14-of-36 in Games 1 and 2 of the Cleveland series. Even if Boston’s supporting cast steps up in Game 3 on Saturday, Tatum has to be better offensively. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:47 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out Friday vs. Pacers
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby’s tweaked hamstring appears to be serious and he’s been ruled out for Game 3 a day in advance. There’s no clear major beneficiary following this development. The Knicks’ normal rotation players will continue carrying an extremely heavy workload. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:17 pm
