    • Paolo Banchero scores team-high 27 points Friday
      Paolo Banchero finished Friday’s Game 6 victory over the Cavaliers with 27 points (9-of-20 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: With their backs against the wall, Banchero and the Magic stepped up to force a decisive Game 7. The All-Star forward led the way offensively while combining with Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs to make some playoff history. That trio became the third-youngest to score at least 20 points in the same playoff game, joining two separate Oklahoma City Thunder tandems (Durant/Harden/Westbrook and Durant/Ibaka/Westbrook). Orlando will need to win in Cleveland on Sunday to advance. Still, Banchero’s performance in Game 5 should inspire confidence that he can play at a high level on the road, as he struggled mightily with turnovers (15) in the series’ first two games.

    • Won't play Friday
      Allen (ribs) is out for Friday's Game 6 against the Magic.

      Advice: Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a right rib contusion, marking his second consecutive absence. Isaac Okoro started Game 5, but Marcus Morris will enter the starting lineup Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:33 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) downgraded to out for Game 6
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Game 6 against Orlando on Friday.

      Advice: Allen will remain sidelined for this game, though Marcus Morris will start in his place this time. Isaac Okoro will return to playing a role off the bench, with Evan Mobley shifting to center once again. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:32 pm
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Allen (ribs), who's listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Magic, was present during Cleveland's morning shootaround, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

      Advice: Allen was in uniform, but it's unclear how active he was during the shootaround. The big man was stellar through the first four matchups of the series and averaged 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks, but he was sidelined for the Cavaliers' Game 5 win due to a rib injury he sustained following a collision with Franz Wagner in Game 4. If Allen is sidelined, Isaac Okoro would likely remain in the starting lineup, while Evan Mobley operates as the primary center again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:22 am
       
    • Officially deemed questionable
      Allen (ribs) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Magic.

      Advice: Allen is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a right rib contusion. If the 25-year-old big man is ultimately ruled out, Isaac Okoro will likely draw another start. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:36 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable Friday vs. Magic
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is listed as questionable ahead of the Cavaliers’ Friday matchup with the Magic.

      Advice: Cleveland pulled out a wi without Allen in Game 5 and the big man could return to the rotation ahead of the weekend. Marcus Marris will likely take on significant frontcourt minutes if Allen is ruled out for a second consecutive contest. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:30 am
       
    • Doesn't practice Thursday
      Allen (ribs) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

      Advice: Allen missed Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic due to a right rib contusion. While Allen's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Game 6 on Friday, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:54 am
       
    • Pours in 39 points
      Banchero supplied 39 points (14-24 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 104-103 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Banchero's 39 points mark a new career high in the postseason, and this was a terrific bounce-back performance after he was held to nine points in Game 4 on Saturday. Banchero has been terrific in his first career playoff series, posting averages of 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers through five games.

    • Plays well off bench
      McBride supplied 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime loss to the 76ers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: The Knicks are rolling with a tight seven-man rotation lately, and McBride has locked himself in as the sixth man with his strong play off the bench. Through five games in the opening-round series, McBride has averaged 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.4 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:59 am
