  • 74-77-2 4th Place
    • Leads all scorers in loss
      Haliburton totaled 34 points (11-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Haliburton finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, putting up a game-high 34 points, including seven triples. Although the Pacers managed to put up a respectable total, their defense simply wasn't up to the task of slowing down the Knicks. With the series now shifting to Indiana, Haliburton will look to build on this performance in the hopes of keeping the series alive. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:38 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton bounces back, scores 34 points
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) finished Wednesday’s 130-121 loss to the Knicks with 34 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and seven 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

      Advice: After attempting just six shots in Monday’s Game 1 loss, Haliburton was the focus of many conversations. He was far more aggressive on offense in Game 2, attempting eight shots in the first quarter alone and finishing with a game-high 34 points. Haliburton can be even more aggressive on that end of the floor, which could happen in Game 3 on Friday. Despite the defeat, Wednesday’s performance was a step in the right direction for the All-Star point guard. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 2 Wed.
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available and will start Game 2. He only attempted six shots in Game 1, which is way too low for a player of his caliber. Look for Haliburton to be far more involved in the Pacers offense as a scorer, which could cut into his assist tally. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:58 pm
       
    • Cleared for Game 2
      Haliburton (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been battling back spasms throughout the playoffs, but he'll play through the issue once again Wednesday. However, it's possible the back spasms could impact his effectiveness considering he scored just six points in 36 minutes during Game 1 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:13 pm
       
    • Shines in Game 1 victory
      White registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-12 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 victory over Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: White embraced a bigger role on offense on a night when Jayson Tatum struggled (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), and the former responded by delivering his third consecutive game with 25 or more points. White has taken a step forward due to Kristaps Porzingis (calf) being sidelined, and it'd be fair to consider him Boston's third-best offensive weapon under the current lineup construction. White will aim to keep the streak alive in Game 2 on Thursday, as the Celtics have gone 20-3 this season when he's scored 20 or more points between the regular season and the playoffs.

    • Kyrie Irving leads Dallas with 20 points in loss
      Kyrie Irving led Dallas with 20 points (7-of-14 FGs), one rebound, three assists, two steals, one block and three triples in a 117-95 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 on Tuesday.

      Advice: After scoring just six points in the first half, Irving once again turned it on for the second half and scored nine points in the third, which included a contested 3-pointer just before the buzzer. He was consistently better in the second half during their first round series against the Clippers, but his production in the second half of this game wasn’t enough to secure a win on the road. If Irving can put together two solid halves in Game 2, they may be able to steal a game on the road and head to Dallas with the series tied. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:27 pm
       
    • Derrick White knocks down seven triples in Game 1
      Derrick White lit up the Cavaliers with 25 points (9-of-16 FGs), one rebound, five assists and seven triples in Game 1 on Tuesday.

      Advice: White was solid in the first half of this game, but he caught fire in the third, scoring 14 of his 25 points in the period. White has been arguably the best player for the Celtics during this postseason, and this was his third straight game with at least 25 points. Boston is one of the deepest teams in the league, and White has stepped up with Kristaps Porzingis injured. He should continue to shine as Boston looks to return to the Eastern Conference Finals by collecting three more wins in this series. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:04 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable Wednesday
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s Pacers-Knicks matchup.

      Advice: Haliburton has struggled as of late and scored just six points his last time out. His lingering back issue hasn’t caused him to miss time, but T.J. McConnell could continue to be a more significant contributor if Haliburton doesn’t get back on track. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:07 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable again
      Haliburton (back) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton continues to deal with back spasms that popped up ahead of Game 4 of the opening-round series versus Milwaukee. He scored only six points in Game 1 (2-6 FG) against the Knicks, but he did have eight assists and four steals. If the back issues worsen, we may see more of T.J. McConnell, who was fantastic off the bench during Monday's loss. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:33 pm
