    • 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 38 minutes ago
       
    • Still out
      Jerome (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against Boston.

      Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since October due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. Even if he were to return at some point during the playoffs, he likely wouldn't be part of the Cavs' rotation. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
       
    • Struggles in Game 3 loss
      Strus totaled six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Strus continues to deliver nothing but mediocrity, scoring fewer than 15 points for the eighth time in the past nine games, all during the playoffs. If the Cavaliers have any chance of beating the Celtics, they are going to need Strus to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. Based on what we have seen during the postseason, that might be wishful thinking. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 am
       
    • Fails to score in 11 minutes
      Merrill notched zero points (0-1 FG) across 11 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Merrill missed his only shot attempt, failing to have an impact once again. Although he did have a couple of bright spots throughout the season, Merrill has been a non-factor in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 4:50 am
       
    • Questionable for Sunday
      Jackson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Jackson played through the same questionable tag for Friday's Game 4 blowout win, but he saw just eight minutes with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one turnover. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:08 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sun.
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson hasn’t missed a game this postseason, but his playing time has decreased, with Nuggets coach Michael Malone leaning on his starters even more. “Big Government” only played eight minutes in Friday’s win over Minnesota and will shoulder a similar workload in Game 4.

    • Alec Burks contributes 14 points in Game 3 loss
      Alec Burks finished Friday’s 111-106 loss to the Pacers with 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

      Advice: That’s right, Alec Burks. After playing for one minute in Game 2, the veteran wing was in the rotation on Friday because the Knicks did not have OG Anunoby (hamstring). Give Burks credit for staying ready, as he made his first four shots from the field and gave New York welcome production off the bench. While the Knicks’ saw their series lead cut in half, getting 24 points from Burks and Miles McBride (10/1/1/1 with two 3-pointers in 29 minutes) is a positive takeaway. New York’s reserves outscored their Pacer counterparts by a 24-14 margin in Game 3, but it wasn’t enough to get the Knicks the win. Burks and McBride will have to offer similar production in Game 4 on Sunday, as Anunoby is unlikely to be available. Rotoworld Friday, 7:16 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) available for Game 3 Friday
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is available for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson will play in Game 3 after injuring his calf during the fourth quarter of Game 2. He’ll take on his usual backup point guard responsibilities and is not worth the risk in DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Friday, 5:51 pm
