    • Enters rotation in blowout win
      Brown totaled zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds and one block in 10 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 victory over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Brown, along with a number of fellow second-stringers, saw an uptick in playing time Sunday. The Pacers took control early and never relinquished, leveling the series at 2-2. Game 5 is in New York on Tuesday, where both teams will look to gain the upper hand. Rotowire.com Today, 12:57 am
       
    • Rare appearance Sunday
      Jeffries had five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jeffries made a rare appearance Sunday as the Knicks went deep into their rotation. The Pacers dominated from start to finish, meaning even Tom Thibodeau couldn't justify playing his starters big minutes. Obviously, this is not something fans should expect to see very often.

    • 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, however, the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming the next game is a tighter affair, 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: Burks made the most of a favorable situation, pouring in 20 points as the Knicks were blown out by the Pacers. We know Burks can put up points in a hurry when afforded meaningful playing time. With that said, New York fans will be hoping this is not the case moving forward given his outbursts tend to come when the Knicks are on the wrong end of the blowout.

    • Anthony Edwards drops 44, but Wolves drop Game 4
      Anthony Edwards scored 44 points in Sunday’s loss to Denver, adding five rebounds, five assists, two steals, a block and five three-pointers across 45 minutes.

      Advice: Ant-Man was superhuman yet again, though the rest of his team was more like the Wasp and stung him badly in the loss. Edwards shot an efficient 16-of-25 from the floor, while his teammates combined to shoot 23-of-57 for just 63 points. The next highest scorer on the team was Mike Conley, who chipped in 15, while Karl-Anthony Towns struggled to find his shot, and Naz Reid was given just 19 minutes. Edwards has been absolutely dominant in this season’s playoffs, but he’ll need more from his teammates now that the Western Conference semis are tied up and heading back to Denver for a pivotal Game 5.

    • Jamal Murray, Reggie Jackson, KCP available Sunday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain), Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (right abdominal contusion) are all available for Sunday’s Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: All three players will be available despite sporting questionable tags heading into Sunday’s pivotal matchup in Minnesota. The Nuggets can even up the series before heading back to Ball Arena, so the availability of the trio is crucial. All three should handle their typical workloads. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm
       
    • Available for Game 4
      Murray (calf) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been dealing with a calf injury throughout the series and is yet to miss a game, so it isn't surprising to see him shed another questionable tag. After struggling in the first two games of the series, Murray bounced back in Game 3 with a 24-point outing on solid efficiency, and he will look to carry that momentum over to Sunday's matchup.

    • Available Sunday
      Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope was deemed questionable ahead of gametime due to a right abdominal contusion, but he will suit up for Sunday's matchup. Battling through the same injury in Game 3, Caldwell-Pope logged 37 minutes, so he should be in for a full workload Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:22 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton scores 20 points in Game 4 rout
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 8-of-15 from the field in Sunday’s 121-89 win over the Knicks, accumulating 20 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After struggling in Game 1, Haliburton has looked like his usual self for the Pacers. Indiana resoundingly won Game 4, which meant additional time on the bench for their key contributors. In the case of Haliburton, his day was finished about halfway through the third quarter. Now tied at two games all, the series shifts to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday. Given how much of a handful the more aggressive Haliburton has been, the Pacers have to like their chances.
