  • Tim Hardaway Jr. chips in with 17 points in Game 2
    Tim Hardaway Jr. amassed 17 points (6-of-10 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers in 19 minutes in Thursday’s 119-110 win over Oklahoma City.

    Advice: After missing the last four games of Dallas’ first-round series against the Clippers with a sprained ankle, Hardaway offered little production in Tuesday’s second-round opener against Oklahoma City. He stepped up when needed in Game 2, scoring 17 points on a night when Kyrie Irving shot 2-of-8 from the field. Hardaway and PJ Washington combined to score 46 points, so Dallas heads home for Game 3 in a tie series instead of sitting in a 0-2 hole. The Mavericks host Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.

  • Kyrie Irving dishes out 11 assists in Game 2 win
    Kyrie Irving accounted for nine points (2-of-8 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, and two blocked shots in 41 minutes in Thursday’s 119-110 win over Oklahoma City.

    Advice: After scoring 20 points on 50% shooting in Tuesday’s Game 1 defeat, Irving did not shoot the ball well in Game 2. He made up for that by making plays for others, dishing out a game-high 11 assists while only committing one turnover. Irving also chipped in with two steals and two blocked shots as he did the “little things” while Luka Doncic, PJ Washington, and Tim Hardaway Jr. handled the scoring. Dallas will look to take a 2-1 series lead when they host the Thunder on Saturday afternoon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:21 pm
     
  • Reaches 20 points off bench in win
    LeVert ended with 21 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 win over the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: LeVert made the most of his time off the bench in Game 2, ending as one of three Cavaliers with 20 or more points while helping Cleveland claim a much-needed victory to even the series against Boston. LeVert didn't connect on a three but still ended tied for second on the team in scoring to go along with a half-dozen rebounds and a trio of assists. LeVert had a bounce-back game after recording just four points in Tuesday's Game 1, playing a big part in Cleveland being able to steal a game on the road as it now returns home to try and take a lead in the series.

  • Caris LeVert contributes 21 points in Game 2 win
    Caris LeVert amassed 21 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes in Thursday’s 118-94 win over the Celtics.

    Advice: Cleveland returns home tied at one game apiece, thanks partially to the “others” stepping up their production. After shooting 2-of-6 from the field and scoring four points in Game 1, LeVert was a huge factor off the bench on Thursday. He remains cold from beyond the arc (0-of-3 in Game 2, 1-of-12 over his last six games), but the Cavaliers sixth man was 9-of-14 from two. Boston played poorly on Thursday, but LeVert and the Cavaliers had much to do with that. Game 2 was the formula for Cleveland regarding their ability to win this series; the question is whether they can do this three more times. Game 3 is on Saturday night.

  • Still out for Game 2
    Prosper (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with the Thunder.

    Advice: Prosper has been out ever since tweaking his ankle in Game 1 of Dallas' first-round series, and considering we haven't heard any positive updates, it's safe to assume he's still not close to returning. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:27 pm
     
  • Not listed on injury report
    Morris (finger) is not on the injury report for Friday's Game 3 matchup with Denver.

    Advice: Morris exited Game 2 with a minor finger issue and did not return, but that won't impact his status for Game 3. He should again see limited minutes behind Mike Conley on Friday night. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:42 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable Thursday
    Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is listed as questionable for the Nuggets’ Thursday matchup against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Jackson hasn’t been helpful against Minnesota so far. Christian Braun will benefit from getting some extra reserve minutes should Jackson be ruled out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:30 pm
     
  • Deemed questionable Friday
    Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf contusion.

    Advice: Jackson is in danger of missing Friday's contest after suffering a left calf injury in Game 2. If Jackson is unable to suit up, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday are candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:37 pm
     
  • Handed four-game suspension
    The NBA announced Thursday that Beverley has been suspended four games "for forcefully throwing a basketball multiple times at spectators and an inappropriate interaction with a reporter during media availability" after Milwaukee's 120-98 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series May 2.

    Advice: The Bucks were eliminated from the playoffs with the Game 6 loss, so Beverley's suspension will go into effect for the first four games of the 2024-25 season. Beverley is an unrestricted free agent going into this offseason, so it is unclear which team he will be on when serving his suspension. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:10 am
