    • 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.

    • Leads from deep in balanced Game 4
      Strus provided 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 43 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-102 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Strus led all players in Monday's contest in threes made while ending as one of four Cavaliers with double-digit scoring and handing out a team-high-tying assist total along with a pair of steals. Strus, who also hauled in seven boards, posted a new playoff high in threes made and notched his second game with 10 or more points in the series against the Celtics.

    • Max Strus scores all 15 points in first half
      Max Strus lit up the Celtics with 15 points (5-of-12 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and five 3-pointers against Boston in Game 4 on Monday.

      Advice: Strus got off to a hot start in this game and entered the break with 15 points on five triples as they trailed by just five points. However, things were much different in the second half. He missed all five of his shot attempts but added six rebounds and six assists before fouling out late in the fourth. It was a strange half for Strus, since most of his production usually comes from beyond the arc, as he showcased in the first half. If Donovan Mitchell remains out for Game 5 on Wednesday, Strus will be asked to step up offensively once again. Rotoworld Monday, 7:09 pm
       
    • 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.

    • Fully healthy
      Phillips (foot) said Sunday that he's completed his rehab and feels 100 percent healthy, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

      Advice: Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he looks as though he'll be in store for a normal offseason. The rookie second-round pick appeared in 40 games for Chicago in 2023-24, averaging 2.2 points and 0.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:53 pm
       
    • Julian Phillips (foot) has finished rehab process
      Julian Phillips (right foot sprain) said at Sunday’s NBA Draft lottery that he has completed his rehabilitation process and is working out as he normally would.

      Advice: Phillips, the 35th overall pick in last summer’s draft, sprained his foot in mid-March and missed the remainder of his rookie campaign. The fact that he’s back to full strength at this point in Chicago’s offseason is good news for the Bulls, who should be able to evaluate Phillips even more in Summer League action this summer. His fantasy potential depends on what the Bulls do this offseason, with DeMar DeRozan being an unrestricted free agent. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Plays 17 minutes in return
      Wade (knee) finished Saturday's 106-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal round with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes.

      Advice: Suiting up for the first time since March 8 after needing two months to heal up from a sprained knee, Wade captured a rotation spot and helped provide the Cavaliers with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. Though he acquitted himself well during his time on the court, Wade is unlikely to see his role grow substantially as the series rolls along, especially once center Jarrett Allen (ribs) is back in action.

    • 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 Sunday, 4:55 am
       
    • Rare appearance in win
      Brissett closed Saturday's 106-93 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in one minute.

      Advice: Brissett played one minute of garbage time as the Celtics held on for a relatively comfortable victory Saturday. Barring another sizable margin, Brissett is unlikely to leave the bench on most nights, especially as we get deeper into the playoffs. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:33 am
