    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Tuesday vs. NYK
      Joel Embiid is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with New York due to left knee injury recovery.

      Advice: Embiid’s knee has bothered him throughout the series with the Knicks, so it’s no surprise that he’s questionable for Game 5. Philly is on the brink of elimination, but it’s unclear if the Sixers want to risk further injury and fight for a Game 6 or give Embiid time to recover and essentially concede the series. If he can’t go, Paul Reed would presumably start in his place. Rotoworld Today, 11:12 am
       
    • Listed questionable for Tuesday
      Embiid is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

      Advice: Embiid has averaged 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes over the first four games of the opening-round series. However, the reigning MVP, who missed two months during the regular season after undergoing meniscus surgery, continues to be listed as questionable and has struggled in every fourth quarter thus far. With the 76ers facing elimination in New York on Tuesday, it'd be shocking if Embiid didn't suit up. Rotowire.com Today, 10:34 am
       
    • All-around outing in Game 4 win
      Harden produced 33 points (12-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 victory over Dallas in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Harden stepped up alongside teammate Paul George to lift Los Angeles to a much-needed win in Game 4 to even the series at 2-2 entering Game 5. Harden posted a team-high-tying point total while connecting on a quartet of threes in a balanced showing. Harden reached the 30-point mark for the first time of the series, also logging his highest rebound total of the postseason thus far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:13 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in Game 4 defeat
      Oubre ended Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.

      Advice: Oubre had another strong offensive outing for Philadelphia in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Oubre has been a nice third option for the 76ers in the first-round series behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, tallying at least 15 points in two of the four games and surpassing the double-digit mark in three outings.

    • All-around showing in Game 4 loss
      Embiid provided 27 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to New York in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Embiid led all Philadelphia players in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals in an all-around performance. Despite dealing with a lingering knee injury throughout the series, Embiid has played in all four games and has tallied at least 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists in three straight outings. Look for Embiid to put together another strong outing in Game 5 to help the 76ers avoid elimination in a win-or-go-home contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
       
    • Bobby Portis (slappy and you know it) ejected
      Bobby Portis has been ejected from Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers midway through the first quarter after a physical altercation with Andrew Nembhard.

      Advice: Portis and Nembhard got into it with just over five minutes to play in the first quarter. Both players were given technical fouls, but Portis was ejected after throwing hands. He finished with four points and three rebounds across seven minutes. Already down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, the Bucks will have to turn to Andre Jackson Jr., Pat Connaughton and Danilo Gallinari to pick up the slack off the bench. Gallinari could see the biggest bump in playing time for the Bucks’ depleted frontcourt. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:15 pm
       
    • Ejected Sunday
      Portis has been ejected from Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Portis was assessed with two technical fouls stemming from an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, disqualifying him for the remainder of the game. Portis finished the contest with four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes of action. The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:32 pm
       
    • James Harden scores 33 points in Game 4 victory
      James Harden played 40 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Mavericks, amassing 33 points (12-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers.

      Advice: Harden was masterful at getting into the paint and converting during the fourth quarter, shooting 6-of-7 as the Clippers held on after blowing a 31-point lead. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) lacking a timeline for return, it will be up to The Beard and Paul George to shoulder most of the offensive workload in a series tied at two games apiece. Sunday’s performances showed they’re up to the task, as the two Clippers stars combined to score 66 of the team’s 116 points. Game 5 is on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

    • Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 19 points in Game 4 loss
      Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 loss to the Knicks, tallying 19 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 15 points in Philadelphia’s Game 3 victory, Oubre was even more productive in Game 4. Only Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored more points among 76ers players, and the Tsunami Papi recorded his second full stat line of the series (Game 2). Given how quiet Tobias Harris has been this series, Oubre has emerged as Philadelphia’s third option on the offensive end of the floor. Unfortunately for the 76ers, they find themselves in a 3-1 hole heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night in New York. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:28 pm
