  • 87-64-2 6th Place
    • Solid output in Game 1 victory
      Williams racked up 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 victory over the Pelicans in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Williams struggled from beyond the arc, but other than that, he delivered a solid performance as the Thunder barely escaped with the victory in Game 1. This was Williams' best scoring performance since March 31, when he scored 33 points in a win over the Knicks just before missing four contests with an ankle injury. He should remain a vital cog in the Thunder's offensive scheme for Game 2 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 am
       
    • Jalen Williams records 19/7/4/2 line vs. Pelicans
      Jalen Williams played 40 minutes in Sunday’s 94-92 win over New Orleans, accounting for 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: The 94 points were the fewest Oklahoma City has scored in a win this season, but they all count just the same. Williams did everything except block a shot, but the rebounds, assists (tied for most on the team), and steals were quality for those who rostered JDub in DFS tournaments. He was one of only three Thunder players to finish in double figures, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren being the others. That trio will have to do a lot of the heavy lifting in the postseason, with their teammates chipping in at timely moments. Game 2 of the series is on Wednesday night.

    • Myles Turner records 17/8/2/2 stat line vs. Bucks
      Myles Turner shot 5-of-17 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to Milwaukee, accounting for 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

      Advice: At first glance, Turner recorded a decent stat line in Sunday’s series opener. However, he was 3-of-10 from three and 5-of-17 overall, offering minimal value in the paint on both ends of the floor. Turner’s ability to hit perimeter shots is a valuable asset, but the Pacers may need a little more from him in the interior in this series. Also, he did not record a blocked shot after tallying at least one in his final 13 games of the regular season. Turner and the Pacers will look to rebound on Tuesday when the teams get together for Game 2. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Brook Lopez swats three shots, scores 11 points
      Brook Lopez played 32 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Pacers, accounting for 11 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Lopez blocked at least two shots in five of his final six regular-season games, and he has been one of the NBA’s best in that category for most of his six seasons in Milwaukee. Unsurprisingly, he accumulated three blocked shots in Sunday’s Game 1 victory, especially when factoring in his average of 3.4 per game in five meetings with the Pacers during the regular season. Add in the other numbers, and this was a good night for Lopez as the Bucks drew first blood. Game 2 is on Tuesday night. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Limited impact in spot start
      Isaac had 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: This was Isaac's second start of the season, and while he posted better numbers than Wendell Carter, Isaac had a rough outing from the field while dealing with the defensive presence of Jarrett Allen. Given how outmatched Carter looked in limited minutes, Isaac could remain in the starting unit for Game 2 of the series Monday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Devin Booker struggles, finishes with 18 points
      Devin Booker played 38 minutes in Saturday’s 120-95 loss to the Timberwolves, accumulating 18 points (5-of-16 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Minnesota’s significant adjustment from Sunday’s regular-season finale was to pick up the Suns’ guards full court to exploit the team’s lack of a “traditional” point guard. While Booker only committed one turnover, the approach threw him off his rhythm offensively. The Suns don’t have a reliable point guard to potentially step in for Grayson Allen (ankle) if he can’t play in Tuesday’s Game 2, so it will be on Booker (and Bradley Beal) to shift the momentum after a disappointing Game 1.

    • Perfect from line to boost offense
      Booker finished Saturday's 120-95 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes.

      Advice: Booker shot a perfect mark from the free-throw line and ended second on the team in scoring to go along with a handful of assists. Booker entered the postseason with three straight games of 20 or more points, adding five or more assists in two of those outings. He has gotten to the line often for Phoenix as of late, ending the regular season with five or more made free throws in 11 straight contests. However, the Suns need more overall offensive production from Booker moving forward. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:55 pm
       
    • Jonathan Isaac records 10/5/1/3/3 line vs. Cavs
      Jonathan Isaac played 29 minutes in Saturday’s 97-83 loss to the Cavaliers, producing 10 points (3-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals, three blocks, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Isaac’s final stat line wasn’t elite, but it was solid for a player making his third start of the season. Also, he had to deal with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, which isn’t easy for traditional bigs, much less a slender combo forward like Isaac. Despite those two combining to grab 29 rebounds, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley did not do much to alter his approach, with reserves Wendell Carter Jr. (three points, two rebounds, and one 3-pointer) and Moritz Wagner (10 points, five rebounds, and one steal) combining to play 28 minutes. Isaac should again approach 30 minutes when the Magic face Cleveland in Game 2 on Monday. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:40 pm
       
    • Terry Rozier (neck) out Sunday vs. Celtics
      Terry Rozier (neck spasms) has been ruled out for the Heat’s Sunday contest against the Celtics.

      Advice: Rozier is set to miss his seventh consecutive contest after missing both Miami’s play-in games. He won’t get another chance to suit up until Game 2 of the first round on Wednesday. Delon Wright will continue to get an increase in minutes while he’s out. Rotoworld Saturday, 11:10 am
