  • 85-92-3 6th Place
    • Triple-doubles in win
      Embiid ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and one steal in 48 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: This was considered an off game for Embiid, yet he still managed a triple-double to keep the 76ers alive in the playoffs. Embiid wasn't quite himself and was moving around pretty slowly, as he was battling both a migraine and some left knee soreness. The 76ers will be hopeful that Embiid will feel more like himself for Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:46 am
       
    • Joel Embiid records triple-double in Game 5 win
      Joel Embiid recorded a triple-double on Tuesday with 19 points (7-of-19 FGs), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, five blocks, one triple and nine turnovers in Game 5 against New York.

      Advice: Embiid has clearly been playing through injuries throughout the series, and it showed with his performance in this game. It wasnโ€™t all bad, and he was still able to make some big plays late. The triple-double also helps make his night look a little better, but the poor shooting and plethora of turnovers were more indicative of his performance. Still, they were able to steal a win on the road, which shifts the series back to Philly for Game 6. They will still have to win another game in New York to win the series, and if they want to do that, Embiid will have to be better, even if heโ€™s hurting. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:16 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee/migraine) questionable Tuesday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery and migraine) is listed as questionable for the 76ersโ€™ Tuesday matchup with the Knicks.

      Advice: Itโ€™s not surprising that Embiidโ€™s nagging knee injury is on the injury report, but his migraine is a new designation. He did not report to shootaround on Tuesday morning and Paul Reed will be first in line for a heavier workload if Embiid is ruled out. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:34 am
       
    • Misses shootaround Tuesday
      Embiid (knee) sat out of Tuesday's shootaround due to a migraine, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

      Advice: There's been no change to his status for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, so Embiid remains questionable to play due to his left knee soreness. Despite the questionable tag, it would be a major surprise if Embiid was held out with Philadelphia's season on the line. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:29 am
       
    • Increased role Monday
      Horford supplied seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Horford was forced into an increased role Monday, thanks to a calf injury to Kristaps Porzingis. While initial reports indicate that Porzingis has avoided anything serious, there is certainly a chance he will miss at least the next game. Should that be the case, Horford would likely slide into the starting lineup. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:41 pm
       
    • Al Horford starts second half in place of KP
      Al Horford started the second half on Monday and contributed seven points (3-of-5 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one triple against the Heat.

      Advice: Kristaps Porzingis exited just before halftime of this game with what was initially labeled a right calf strain. However, more recent reports indicate that it may be an Achilles injury, and he will undergo imaging on Tuesday. Horford didnโ€™t contribute much in the box score, but even at his age, he is still more than capable of contributing at a high level until Porzingis is available to play again. If it is a serious injury for KP, Horford may be the starting center for the rest of their playoff run, with Luke Kornet likely filling out the backup minutes down low.

    • Brook Lopez leads Bucks with 27 points in loss
      Brook Lopez put up 27 points, nine rebounds, an assist, a block and three triples across 39 minutes in Sundayโ€™s loss to Indiana.

      Advice: BroLo scored more points than 27 only twice in the regular season, and both games came way back in November. Sundayโ€™s performance was certainly a rarity in the scoring department, but Lopez was forced to handle a colossal workload thanks to the absences of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo and the early ejection of Big Bobby Portis. Lopez has scored at least 20 points in two of the Bucksโ€™ last three games, and heโ€™ll be asked to pick it up on offense Tuesday if Milwaukeeโ€™s stars are once again sidelined.

    • Nears double-double as top scorer
      Lopez notched 27 points (12-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes in Sunday's 126-113 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Lopez led all Bucks players in scoring in Sunday's loss while connecting on a trio of threes and ending one rebound shy of a double-double in a balanced performance. Lopez has stepped up as the leader in the paint for Milwaukee during the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), reaching double figures in all four postseason games while finishing with his highest scoring and rebound marks of the series thus far.
