    • Alec Burks hits five 3-pointers, scores 18 points
      Alec Burks finished Tuesday’s 121-91 win over the Pacers with 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, and five 3-pointers in 23 minutes.

      Advice: Injuries have thrust Burks into the Knicks’ rotation, and the veteran wing has taken advantage of his opportunity. He’s scored at least 14 points in each of the series’ last three games, giving New York much-needed production. While Burks scoring 20 points in Sunday’s Game 4 defeat did not matter much, that wasn’t the case in Game 5. The Knicks effectively run a seven-man rotation, so Burks won’t lack playing time or opportunities to shine. He’s shown that there’s still something left in the tank. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:14 pm
    • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) doubtful for Game 5 Weds.
      Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter has not played in a game since injuring his ankle during the Cavaliers’ regular-season finale. His absence has not impacted the rotation, but Cleveland is in an unenviable position ahead of what could be the final game of their season. Starter Donovan Mitchell (calf) and critical reserve Caris LeVert (knee) are questionable for Game 5, with the latter starting Game 4 for the former. If both are sidelined, Porter would be needed if he is available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:41 pm
    • Another absence coming
      Jerome (ankle) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 while recovering from right ankle surgery. There is no indication that Jerome is nearing a return to action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm
    • Unlikely to play Wednesday
      Porter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter is expected to miss his 12 straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. While Porter's upgraded status suggests he's nearing a return, Cleveland being down 3-1 to Boston could mean the series will be over before the rookie guard can suit up again.

    • Cracks rotation in blowout loss
      Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

    • Drops team-high 20 points
      Burks contributed 20 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: With the Pacers jumping out to a huge lead and Jalen Brunson looking less than 100 percent, Burks saw extended playing time and made the most of his opportunity. We know Burks can put up points in a hurry when afforded meaningful playing time. However, with that said, New York fans will be hoping this is not the case in Game 5 on Tuesday, given his outbursts tend to come when the Knicks are on the wrong end of the blowout.

    • Good to go
      Jackson (calf) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Jackson will overcome a second consecutive questionable tag to suit up for Sunday's matchup. Jackson has had a limited presence this series as he has battled injury, averaging just 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.7 minutes through three games. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:19 pm
    • T.J. McConnell finishes with 15 points, 10 assists
      T.J. McConnell finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Knicks with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

      Advice: While the decision to shift Aaron Nesmith onto Jalen Brunson has received a lot of attention, and rightfully so, McConnell’s role has also been significant. The veteran point guard took on the task when Nesmith (8/12/1/0/1 in 24 minutes) wasn’t in the game, and he was highly impactful in both of Indiana’s wins at home. In addition to being a pest on the defensive end of the floor, McConnell recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. For those interested in this series for betting purposes, McConnell is worth considering for prop bet action. Game 5 is on Monday in New York, with the teams tied at two wins each.

    • Sidelined for Game 4
      Porter (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:51 pm
