    • Scores team-high 28 points Friday
      Beal finished Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 28 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Beal led the Suns in scoring Friday, but as has been the case throughout the series, Phoenix simply hasn't been able to hang on with the Timberwolves throughout an entire game, which explains the 0-3 deficit the Suns are currently in right now. This was the first team Beal surpassed the 15-point mark in the series, and the veteran guard will need to keep the momentum going for Game 4 on Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round.

    • Flirts with double-double
      Zubac chipped in 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Zubac turned in a strong effort Friday, flirting with a double-double. He added a pair of defensive stats for good measure, delivering his best performance of the postseason. Now trailing 1-2 in the series, the Clippers are going to need Zubac to be more consistent moving forward, something he has struggled with this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 pm
       
    • Dereck Lively II chips in 13 points off bench
      Dereck Lively II provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (6-of-8 FGs), two rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes against the Clippers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Lively only played nine minutes in Game 2 and ended up missing practice on Thursday because of some soreness in his lower back. However, he was able to play in Game 3, and he was able to make an impact off the bench. He scored all 13 of his points in the first half, which included five dunks. This was a solid game for the rookie, but Dallas will likely continue to lean on Daniel Gafford for most the center minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:17 pm
       
    • Sees 21 minutes in win
      Lively contributed seven points (2-5 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Daniel Gafford started this game, but he was ineffective in just nine minutes of action and left the game briefly due to a back injury. Lively had more success, obviously, but he didn't get a ton of burn either, as Maxi Kleber and P.J. Washington soaked up the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. The logjam at center is far from ideal for fantasy purposes for both Gafford and Lively. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:09 am
       
    • Passive performance Tuesday
      Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, Phoenix was simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, the Suns will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Duncan Robinson (back) cleared to play in Game 2
      Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) is listed as active for the Heat’s Game 2 matchup against the Celtics on Wednesday.

      Advice: Robinson is set to play in his second straight playoff game. The Heat wing has played twice since notching a DNP against the 76ers in a play-in game and appears likely to continue contributing off the bench. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:24 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in loss
      Harris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, during which the guard did not connect on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Zubac logged 20 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Zubac led all players in rebounds while ending as one of three Clippers with 20 or more points in a double-double showcase. Zubac posted four games during the regular season with 15 or more rebounds, adding 20 or more points in one of those outings. Los Angeles will look for Zubac to continue to own the battle in the paint this series while also providing a much-needed spark offensively in a favorable matchup against Dallas.

    • Ivica Zubac posts 20-point double-double vs. LAC
      Ivica Zubac registered 20 points (10-of-17 FGs) with 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a block.

      Advice: Zubac was dominant in the painted area as a scorer and rebounder. Dallas had no answer for the big man and he has a chance to consistently cause problems for the Mavericks’ frontcourt. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:43 pm
