  • 120-60-0 1st Place
    • Limited in Game victory
      Towns finished Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes.

      Advice: Towns played just 24 minutes in the victory, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. The coaching staff continues to monitor minutes as he returns from a knee injury. He also picked up four fouls in quick time, perhaps impacting his time on the floor. They will now get three nights off before returning to the court for Game 3. The extended rest will almost certainly provide Towns with a chance to continue his return-to-action plan. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 pm
       
    • Passive performance Tuesday
      Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, the Suns were simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, Phoenix will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3. Rotowire.com Today, 8:48 pm
       
    • Expects to play in Game 3
      Suggs said after Monday's 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers that he doesn't think his sprained left knee injury will keep him from playing Thursday in Game 3 of the series, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered the injury in the first quarter Monday, when he collapsed to the floor after making contact with Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell. Suggs grabbed his leg in visible pain after the play and didn't put any weight on his leg as he was assisted to the locker room, but he was able to return to the contest after halftime while sporting a compression sleeve on his leg. He ended up playing well down the stretch, finishing with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Adrenaline might have played a part in Suggs feeling well enough to return, so the Magic will wait and see how his knee responds over the next two days before deciding whether he's fit to play in Game 3 with the Magic facing a 2-0 series deficit.

    • Does little in loss
      Oubre logged four points (2-7 FG), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Oubre's unproductive evening marked his second consecutive subpar performance in the quarterfinals. He joined a mediocre group of starters who scored only 22 points compared to the 69 points accrued by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Improved stat lines from Oubre will be necessary for the Sixers to even the series at home. Rotowire.com Today, 4:37 am
       
    • Hits go-ahead three-pointer for win
      DiVincenzo totaled 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The Knicks mounted a late rally to get within striking distance and DiVincenzo sealed the win, thanks to a last-second miss from Joel Embiid. The efficient wingman failed to meet expectations in Game 1, but he shot 50 percent from the floor Monday night to help give the Knicks a 2-0 series lead. Rotowire.com Today, 3:59 am
       
    • Isaiah Hartenstein rejects three shots in Game 2
      Isaiah Hartenstein played 30 minutes in Monday’s win over the 76ers, accounting for 14 points (7-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, and three blocked shots.

      Advice: After playing 18 minutes in Game 1, Hartenstein was more involved on both ends of the floor in Game 2. He shot 7-of-8 from the field, and one of his three blocked shots was a Tyrese Maxey layup attempt that preserved the Knicks’ lead in the final seconds. Two OG Anunoby free throws and a Joel Embiid missed three later, and New York had a 2-0 series lead after holding serve at home. Mitchell Robinson (four rebounds, one assist in 18 minutes) had the “hot hand” in Game 1, and the minutes reflected that. On Monday, it was Hartenstein’s time to shine. Game 3 is on Thursday in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:53 pm
       
    • Donte DiVincenzo hits game-winner, scores 19 PTS
      Donte DiVincenzo played 37 minutes in Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia, tallying 19 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers.

      Advice: While former college roommate Jalen Brunson struggled with his shot most of the night, DiVincenzo performed better than in Game 1 on Saturday. He also made the biggest shot of Game 2, as his 3-pointer with 13.1 seconds remaining gave the Knicks the lead for good. Unlike Game 1, when Miles McBride replaced him in the lineup in crunch time, DiVincenzo was on the court on Monday and came up big for the Knicks. McBride played 21 minutes off the bench, accounting for nine points, one rebound, two assists, and one steal. Game 3 is on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:29 pm
       
    • Starts second half
      Suggs (knee) started the second half of Monday's Game 2 against the Cavaliers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

      Advice: Suggs was spotted warming up on the court ahead of the second half, and he feels healthy enough to give it a go. He'll look to provide his team with a spark as the Magic face a 14-point deficit to begin the third quarter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:30 pm
       
    • Jalen Suggs (knee) returns to Game 2 vs. Cleveland
      Jalen Suggs (left knee strain) has returned to Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: At first glance, Suggs’ injury did not look good, as he could not put any weight on his left leg while being helped to the locker room. However, he was back on the court to begin the third quarter, with NBATV’s Lauren Jbara reporting that Suggs “looked good” while sprinting in the tunnel. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:27 pm
