    • Pascal Siakam scores 14 points in Game 4 blowout
      Pascal Siakam shot 7-of-9 from the field in Sunday’s 121-89 win over the Knicks, scoring 14 points with four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes.

      Advice: Siakam’s stat line was modest, but this was due to the nature of Game 4 more than anything else. With the Pacers leading 34-14 after the first quarter, Rick Carlisle had little reason to push his starters on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Spicy P only played 22 minutes and did not have much trouble getting to his spots when on the floor. With OG Anunoby unlikely to be available for Game 5 on Tuesday, dealing with Siakam is another issue for the Knicks. Indiana’s win on Sunday tied the series at two games each.

    • T.J. McConnell finishes with 15 points, 10 assists
      T.J. McConnell finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Knicks with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

      Advice: While the decision to shift Aaron Nesmith onto Jalen Brunson has received a lot of attention, and rightfully so, McConnell’s role has also been significant. The veteran point guard took on the task when Nesmith (8/12/1/0/1 in 24 minutes) wasn’t in the game, and he was highly impactful in both of Indiana’s wins at home. In addition to being a pest on the defensive end of the floor, McConnell recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. For those interested in this series for betting purposes, McConnell is worth considering for prop bet action. Game 5 is on Monday in New York, with the teams tied at two wins each.

    • Questionable for Game 4
      Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves with a right abdominal contusion.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope will land a questionable designation for a second consecutive contest due to a bruised abdomen. He was able to play through the injury in Game 3 and logged 37 minutes, so there should be a level of optimism ahead of Sunday's tilt. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:06 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable
      Murray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been playing through questionable tags for the entirety of the series so far, so fantasy managers can expect the same to continue Sunday. Murray looked sharp in Friday's Game 3, producing 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:03 pm
       
    • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable Sun.
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: While he hasn’t been healthy, Caldwell-Pope has continued to play starters’ minutes as the Nuggets look to repeat as champions. Look for him to do the same on Sunday, as KCP is Denver’s best option to defend Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Murray is back on the injury report, but the calf strain has not forced him to miss any games. He looked much better in Friday’s Game 3 victory, played after a three-day break in the series. The lingering question is whether Murray can play that well after just one day of rest between games.

    • Goes for 26 points in Game 3 win
      Siakam logged 26 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 111-106 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Siakam was remarkably efficient during Friday's win, and even though Tyrese Haliburton grabbed most of the headlines with his 35-point effort, Siakam's impact on offense can't be overlooked. The star big man could be in line for another solid showing in Game 4 of the series Sunday, as the Knicks are extremely depleted in the frontcourt while missing key defensive contributors such as Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring).

    • Jamal Murray bounces back, scores 24 points Friday
      Jamal Murray finished Friday’s Game 3 win over the Timberwolves with 24 points (11-of-21 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Having struggled through a calf injury in the first two games, Murray appeared to benefit from the three days off between Games 2 and 3. He looked sharp on offense, shooting better than 50% from the field while tying for the team-high in scoring with Nikola Jokic. The question is how fresh Murray will be on Sunday night, as the Nuggets will only have one day off. He may appear on the injury report ahead of Game 4, but DFS players and bettors should operate under the assumption that Murray will play. Rotoworld Friday, 9:17 pm
       
    • Responds with strong Game 3
      Murray finished with 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Murray came out of the gates with a sense of urgency and a prove-it mentality in Friday's much-needed win for Denver, posting a team-high-tying scoring total and leading all players in the contest in shots made while tallying a team-high-tying pair of steals in a balanced outing. Murray, who notched his only single-digit scoring game of the postseason in Game 2, bounced back with a big performance to help the Nuggets get back into the series against the Timberwolves. Murray has surpassed the 20-point mark in six of his eight playoff contests thus far. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:16 pm
