    • Isaiah Hartenstein corrals 12 offensive rebounds
      Isaiah Hartenstein dominated the boards in Tuesday’s Game 5 win over the Pacers, grabbing 17 to go along with seven points (2-of-3 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five assists, and one blocked shot in 31 minutes.

      Advice: After he and the Knicks failed to bring the required energy to the court in Game 4 on Sunday, Hartenstein was outstanding on Tuesday. The 7-footer, who stands to command a hefty contract in free agency this summer, grabbed 12 of New York’s 20 offensive rebounds and finished with 17 overall. Hartenstein’s 12 offensive boards tied a franchise playoff record that Charles Oakley initially held. With Tuesday’s 30-point victory, the Knicks will take a 3-2 series lead to Indiana for Game 6 on Friday night. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:03 pm
       
    • Ties Knicks record in Game 5
      Hartenstein contributed seven points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes in Tuesday's 121-91 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Hartenstein registered double-digit rebounds for the second time this playoffs. He was responsible for 12 of New York's 20 offensive rebounds, which tied Charles Oakley for the most in a playoff game in Knicks history. Hartenstein has continued to provide crucial minutes for the Knicks in the absence of Mitchell Robinson (ankle). Hartenstein is averaging 8.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:50 pm
       
    • Keeps scoring run alive
      Washington accumulated 21 points (7-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 41 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: The Mavericks failed to protect their home court and had to settle for a tough loss in Game 4, but one of the few positives in Monday's loss was that Washington continues to perform well even when he commands more attention from the opposing defenses. Washington has been Dallas' second-best player in this series, reaching the 20-point mark in three straight appearances and recording two double-doubles. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:06 am
       
    • PJ Washington leads Dallas with 21/12 in loss
      PJ Washington led Dallas with 21 points (7-of-19 FGs), 12 rebounds, one block and five triples in a 100-96 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 on Monday.

      Advice: OKC continues to prioritize limiting Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, which was a strategy that worked in this game, with the duo combining to shoot 10-of-31 from the floor. That has resulted in more opportunities for Washington, who has been the leading scorer for Dallas for three straight games now. He has averaged 5.7 triples per game during this stretch and has still made an impact on the defensive end. Washington will continue to play a pivotal role, but they’ll need more from Luka and Kyrie if they want to win this series. Rotoworld Monday, 9:46 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Hartenstein (shoulder) isn't listed on New York's injury report for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

      Advice: As expected, Hartenstein will be good to go for Game 5 after suffering a minor shoulder injury during Sunday's Game 4 loss. In New York's two wins during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Hartenstein has averaged 13.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists. However, in the two losses, the starting center has totaled only 10 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:37 pm
       
    • Suffers minor injury in loss
      Hartenstein suffered a minor shoulder injury in Sunday's Game 4 loss to the Pacers, but he should be good to go for Game 5 on Tuesday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Hartenstein was in clear discomfort after taking a fall during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers, but he was able to continue playing. Following the game, Hartenstein stated he may have pinched a nerve in his shoulder, but reassured that he is fine. The 26-year-old pro finished Sunday's contest with a meager four points (2-3 FG) and five rebounds across 21 minutes. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:42 pm
       
    • Isaiah Hartenstein (shoulder) logs 22 MIN Sunday
      Isaiah Hartenstein (left shoulder injury) finished Sunday’s 121-89 loss to the Pacers with four points (2-of-3 FGs) and five rebounds in 22 minutes.

      Advice: Hartenstein wasn’t effective in Game 4, and things got even worse when he fell hard on his left arm/shoulder after attempting a layup. The good news for the Knicks is that he remained in the game, with the minutes total impacted more by the state of the game than the injury. However, with a host of Knicks already sidelined, the last thing the team needs is to lose another key rotation player. Following the game, iHart said he may have a pinched never in his shoulder, but X-rays were negative. Hartenstein said he’ll be fine for Game 5 on Tuesday, but don’t be surprised if his name appears on the initial injury report. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:04 pm
       
    • Scores team-high 27 points
      Washington contributed 27 points (11-23 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 40 minutes during Saturday's 105-101 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Washington enjoyed another splendid shooting night beyond the arc after draining seven shots from downtown in Game 2. The 23 shot attempts matched a season high for Washington, who is averaging 13.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in the playoffs. He's also converting 52.9 percent of his shots during the postseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:04 pm
       
    • PJ Washington scores team-high 27 points Saturday
      PJ Washington accumulated 27 points (11-of-23 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, and five 3-pointers in 40 minutes in Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Thunder.

      Advice: Faced with defending Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Oklahoma City has not devoted as much attention to Washington. Given how well he’s played in the last two games, that could change for Game 4 on Monday. After hitting seven 3-pointers and scoring 29 points in Game 2, he made five more in Game 3 while leading the Mavericks in scoring. Washington attempted 23 shots on the afternoon, tied for the most of any player who saw action. PJ has been much better than expected, and Oklahoma City could take the approach of him regressing to the mean eventually. However, the last two games show this is a dangerous strategy. Game 4 is on Monday night in Dallas, with the Mavericks leading the series two games to one. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:33 pm
