    • All-around showing in Game 4 loss
      Embiid provided 27 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to New York in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Embiid led all Philadelphia players in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals in an all-around performance. Despite dealing with a lingering knee injury throughout the series, Embiid has played in all four games and has tallied at least 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists in three straight outings. Look for Embiid to put together another strong outing in Game 5 to help the 76ers avoid elimination in a win-or-go-home contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
       
    • Remains out, but making progress
      Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

      Advice: There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans' season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid scores 27, goes quiet in 4th quarter
      Joel Embiid finished Sunday’s 97-92 loss to the Knicks with 27 points (7-of-19 FGs, 12-of-14 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 44 minutes.

      Advice: The non-Embiid minutes have been problematic for the 76ers in this series, and that proved to be the difference in Game 4. Philadelphia was a minus-6 in the four first-half minutes that the reigning MVP did not play, and they lost by five. For the first time in his career (regular season or postseason), Embiid played the entire second half. While 76ers coach Nick Nurse said after the game that his star center was “feeling good and wanted to go,” Embiid was 0-of-5 from the field and scored one point in the fourth quarter. Give him credit for playing through a knee issue and a case of Bell’s palsy. 76ers players not named Embiid or Tyrese Maxey need to step up in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:18 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 4
      Embiid (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid continues to be listed as questionable but hasn't yet missed a postseason game. He has averaged 37.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks through the first three games of the opening-round series and is coming off a 50-point explosion during Philadelphia's Game 3 win Thursday.

    • Joel Embiid (knee) available for Game 4 Sunday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is available for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: To no one’s surprise, Embiid will play on Sunday. The reigning MVP, who has also been dealing with a mild case of Bell’s palsy, scored a playoff career-high 50 points in Thursday’s victory. The 76ers are looking to even the series at two games apiece. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:34 am
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and the mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:57 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Sunday for Game 4
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday.

      Advice: Embiid will continue to be on the injury report as he manages this left knee injury, as well as Bell’s Palsy. However, he will continue to play through it. He’ll look to have another big night and try to tie the series 2-2. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:45 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford (back) active Friday vs. Clippers
      Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford is good to go despite missing Thursday’s practice. The Mavericks big man has struggled to produce against the Clippers so far and could take a back seat to Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber if he struggles. Rotoworld Friday, 4:01 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Gafford (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. Gafford should start at center for the third straight game to begin the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:53 pm
