    • Derrick White crashes to earth, scores 10 points
      Derrick White amassed 10 points (3-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes in Thursday’s Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Having hit seven 3-pointers in Boston’s Game 1 blowout of the Cavs, White appeared to be in for a big series. However, his shot went missing in Game 2, and Derrick wasn’t the only Celtics player to struggle. As a team, Boston shot 8-of-35 from beyond the arc, with Cleveland outscoring them by a 39-24 margin. Thursday’s performance ended a three-game streak of at least 25 points for White, who scored 20 or more in three of Boston’s five games against Miami in the first round. He’ll look to bounce back in Game 3 on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:07 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out Friday vs. Pacers
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby’s tweaked hamstring appears to be serious and he’s been ruled out for Game 3 a day in advance. There’s no clear major beneficiary following this development. The Knicks’ normal rotation players will continue carrying an extremely heavy workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:17 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 3
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Pacers on Friday.

      Advice: This is a brutal blow to the Knicks, as it'll be tough to replace what Anunoby brings to the team. His absence should open up minutes for Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks, and guys like Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo will be asked to step it up on offense. Anunoby's next chance to play will come Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
       
    • NYK pessimistic about OG Anunoby’s status for G3
      There is “internal pessimism” surrounding OG Anunoby’s status for Game 3 on Friday, per SNY’s Ian Begley.

      Advice: Anunoby exited Game 2 with a hamstring injury, and it appears that the team is preparing to play Game 3 in Indiana without him. Miles McBride and Alec Burks should both take on extra minutes if Anunoby is forced to sit out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:58 am
       
    • Quiet again Wednesday
      Nesmith totaled six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Nesmith managed just six points in the loss, continuing his disappointing postseason. While he does provide the Pacers with a reliable defensive asset, his inability to score on a consistent basis remains a concern. The series will now head to Indiana, where the Pacers will look to secure their first win. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:36 pm
       
    • Hurts hamstring, won't return
      Anunoby has been ruled ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers with left hamstring soreness. He finished with 28 points (10-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 28 minutes prior to departing.

      Advice: Anunoby went straight to the locker room and was grabbing at his left hamstring after a shot attempt late in the third period. He'll be unable to return to the contest, and given the nature of his injury, his availability for Friday's Game 3 in Indiana would seem to be in jeopardy. The Knicks have already been running a thin rotation with the likes of Mitchell Robinson (ankle), Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) and Julius Randle (shoulder) having been ruled out for the season, so head coach Tom Thibodeau may need to call upon reserves such as Precious Achiuwa, Miles McBride and Alec Burks to take on more minutes if Anunoby can't play in Game 3.

    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) will not return Wednesday
      OG Anunoby (sore left hamstring) is out for the remainder of Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby, who was on fire offensively, appeared to tweak his hamstring on a run-out during the third quarter. Soreness in his left hamstring is why the Knicks forward will not return to Game 2. Precious Achiuwa will play more minutes off the bench in Anunoby’s absence. OG finished with 28 points (10-of-19 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block, and four 3-pointers in 28 minutes. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:57 pm
       
    • Heads to locker room
      Anunoby limped to the locker room holding his left hamstring during Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After being without Jalen Brunson for portions of the first half, the Knicks could be down Anunoby after he came up limping during the third quarter with what appears to be a left hamstring injury. Until we get an official update from the Knicks, Anunoby should be considered questionable to return. While he's out, Alec Burks, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are the likely candidates for more minutes Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:51 pm
       
    • Shines in Game 1 victory
      White registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-12 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 victory over Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: White embraced a bigger role on offense on a night when Jayson Tatum struggled (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), and the former responded by delivering his third consecutive game with 25 or more points. White has taken a step forward due to Kristaps Porzingis (calf) being sidelined, and it'd be fair to consider him Boston's third-best offensive weapon under the current lineup construction. White will aim to keep the streak alive in Game 2 on Thursday, as the Celtics have gone 20-3 this season when he's scored 20 or more points between the regular season and the playoffs.
