    • Pascal Siakam scores 13 on 14 FG, but Pacers win
      Pascal Siakam finished Sunday’s win over Milwaukee with 13 points (6-of-14 FG, 0-of-4 3-Pointers), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes.

      Advice: Siakam was monstrous on offense in Games 1 and 2, combining for 73 points on 31-of-48 shooting. In Games 3 and 4, however, his scoring regressed, and he totaled just 30 points on 13-of-31 shooting. Siakam’s poor showing on offense was buoyed by the duo of Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton, who combined for 53 points and 12 triples on 18-of-33 shooting. Despite his woes as a shooter, Spicy P was still able to make an impact thanks to his rebounding, playmaking and defense. He’ll look to get back on track with his efficiency in a close-out Game 5 on the road Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:35 pm
       
    • Well-rounded showing in Game 4
      Siakam notched 13 points (6-14 FG< 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block over 40 minutes in Sunday's 126-113 win over the Bucks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Siakam has been outstanding for Indiana all series against Milwaukee, posting a well-rounded performance in Sunday's Game 4 while helping the Pacers take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Siakam struggled shooting a bit from the field, but he still reached double figures in scoring while ending one rebound and three assists short of a triple-double. Siakam has tallied at least 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists in two games this series, and we should expect him to continue to shine for Indiana in a potential series-clinching Game 5 in Milwaukee.

    • Boosts offense in balanced outing
      Maxey had 23 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Maxey provided Philadelphia with a well-rounded outing in the Game 4 defeat, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending as one of two players with 20 or more points. Maxey has been one of the 76ers' best offensive producers in the first-round series, surpassing the 20-point mark in all four outings. Expect Maxey to continue to produce like he has all season, and maybe even more, in a win-or-go-home Game 5 against New York. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:53 pm
       
    • Remains out, but making progress
      Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

      Advice: There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans' season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Dealing with calf strain
      Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

      Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Monday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

      Advice: While Murray’s injury during Saturday’s Game 4 defeat appeared to be a tweak, he has been officially diagnosed with a strained left calf. Denver’s depth is already limited due to a lack of consistent production from the bench, so losing Murray would be a significant development. Reggie Jackson will move into the starting lineup if he cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:32 pm
       
    • Tyrese Maxey finishes Game 4 loss with 23 points
      Tyrese Maxey accounted for 23 points (8-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 43 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

      Advice: Maxey and the 76ers are now on the brink of elimination, and his production decreased in Philadelphia’s two home games. After shooting 54% from the field in Games 1 and 2 (68 points), Maxey shot 17-of-42 and scored 48 at home. That isn’t terrible, but the decrease becomes magnified when the “supporting cast” continues to offer limited value. Kyle Lowry (7/5/7 with one 3-pointer) shot 1-of-6 from the field, and Tobias Harris (10 points, eight rebounds) was 4-of-10. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York, with Philadelphia facing a 3-1 deficit.

    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) out for Game 4 Sunday
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Milwaukee’s task of evening their first-round series at two games apiece gets significantly more difficult as Lillard joins Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green are all in the running for increased minutes in Game 4, with Doc Rivers’ choice to start being the best option for DFS tournaments.

    • Ruled out for Game 4
      Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: As expected, Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) have been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Lillard had been playing through soreness in his Achilles over the last few weeks and aggravated the issue during the Bucks' Game 3 loss on Friday. Malik Beasley, Andre Jackson and AJ Green are all candidates for increased roles in Lillard's absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 am
