    • 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 Yesterday, 7:59 am
       
    • Miles McBride chips in 14/4/4/1/1 line off bench
      Miles McBride provided a boost off the bench with 14 points (6-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two triples against the 76ers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Tom Thibodeau has been running a tight rotation, and McBride has been a huge part of it throughout the series. Only seven Knicks saw the floor on Tuesday, with McBride logging 33 minutes off the bench. He is averaging 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.4 triples per game this series, which has been vital to New York’s success. He doesn’t need to play huge minutes when Jalen Brunson is healthy, but he was regularly playing 45+ minutes when Brunson was sidelined this year. Thibs knows that he can rely on him, and he proved that once again in this game. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:21 pm
       
    • Drills another game winner
      Murray posted 32 points (13-28 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Lakers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Murray's status heading into Monday's matchup was in doubt due to a calf injury, but he showed zero signs of discomfort, leading his squad in scoring and tacking on the game-winning bucket to send Denver to the next round. Monday marked his best scoring performance of the opening round after putting up 22 points in back-to-back showings heading into Game 5. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:55 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray hits game-winner to close out series
      Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 32 points (13-of-28 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and five triples in a 108-106 win over the Lakers in Game 5 on Monday.

      Advice: For the second time this series, Murray came up big at the end to help Denver secure a win. He buried a pull-up jumper with about three seconds left, and the Lakers weren’t able to get a good shot up on the ensuing possession. Murray is no stranger to late-game heroics, as he also hit a game-winner in Game 2. The Nuggets will take on Minnesota in the second round after they swept Phoenix, which will be a rematch of last season’s first round series. The Timberwolves are one of the best defensive teams in the league, so Murray will likely have to make more big plays next series in their quest to repeat. Rotoworld Monday, 9:31 pm
       
    • Set to play in Game 5
      Murray (calf) will play in Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

      Advice: Murray was spotted going through a brief five-minute workout before the game with a wrap on his injured calf, and he's since been cleared to suit up. He's put up 20 or more points in each of the first four games of the series but is knocking down only 20.8 percent of his tries from three over that stretch. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:21 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray, Reggie Jackson available for Game 5
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) and Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) will play in Game 5 against the Lakers on Monday.

      Advice: Both of Denver’s point guards will be available to play in this game, though there was legitimate concern that Murray would miss this one. They’ll look to close out the series and advance to the next round, where Minnesota is waiting after they swept the Suns. Rotoworld Monday, 6:18 pm
       
    • True game-time call for Game 5
      Murray (calf) is still listed as questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

      Advice: Murray will attempt to go through his pregame routine before a decision on his availability is made. "Sometimes I have to be the adult in the room," said head coach Michael Malone. "We'll see how he feels during his pregame routine." Malone went on to state that the team needs to be responsible and take the "bigger picture" approach. If Murray can help the team win and not put himself at risk of a more significant injury, playing will be on the table, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:26 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 Sunday, 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 Sunday, 2:32 pm
