    • 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
       
    • 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
       
    • Stuffs stat line Saturday
      Porzingis logged 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Porzingis was active on both ends of the court, and even though he cooled down after a strong start in which he scored Boston's first eight points, he still finished with a solid output despite playing just 27 minutes. The limit in playing time was probably related to the nature of the game since it was a blowout from the second quarter onwards, meaning Porzingis shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload in Game 4 on Monday. Porzingis has scored 18 points in two of his three appearances in the series. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis hits three triples, scores 18
      Kristaps Porzingis finished Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Heat with 18 points (5-of-9 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 18 points in Game 1, Porzingis shot 1-of-9 from the field and scored six points in Bostons’ Game 2 defeat. He got untracked on Saturday, shooting 3-of-5 from three and tallying 18 points with a full stat line. Porzingis has recorded a full line in all three games, so DFS players got some value in Game 2. He and the Celtics will look to take a 3-1 series lead when they face the Heat in Game 4 on Monday night. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:08 pm
       
    • 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
       
    • Reveals medical condition after big game
      Embiid revealed after Thursday's 125-114 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series that he's being treated for a mild case of Bell's palsy, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. He finished the Game 3 win with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes.

      Advice: Since making his return to action April 2 following his recovery from left knee surgery, Embiid has routinely been posting big scoring numbers, but he wasn't as efficient as usual, as he converted 44.8 percent of his field-goal attempts in his first games back from the injury. However, Embiid looked as dominant as ever Thursday as the 76ers staved off a 3-0 series deficit, becoming the first player in NBA playoff history to score 50 points on fewer than 20 field-goal attempts. Embiid's postgame revelation of his Bell's palsy diagnosis may be the bigger headline, with the center noting that he first noticed symptoms of the condition following the 76ers' Play-In Tournament victory over the Heat last week. Bell's palsy is a condition in which a person experiences facial weakness or paralysis due to injury to the seventh facial nerve. Based on Embiid's performance Thursday, his play nor his availability are expected to be affected by the issue. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:23 pm
