    • Eric Gordon chips in 11/2/3/3/1 line off bench
      Eric Gordon provided a boost off the bench with 11 points (2-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and two triples against the Timberwolves on Friday.

      Advice: With Grayson Allen sidelined with an ankle injury, Gordon took on a larger role off the bench and ended up providing them with a nice scoring boost. He also gave them some defensive production, which isn’t characteristic for Gordon. If Allen is back on Sunday for Game 4, EG will lose out on minutes. He averaged 22 minutes across the first two games, but he had to play 34 minutes in Game 3. However, if Allen remains out, Gordon will be asked to take on more minutes once again.

    • Nickeil Alexander-Walker knocks down four triples
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker provided a boost off the bench and finished with 16 points (4-of-10 FGs, all 3PTs), two rebounds and five assists against the Suns on Friday.

      Advice: Minnesota has the Sixth Man of the Year on their team in Naz Reid, but NAW has also had a strong series off the bench, which continued in this game. Through three games, Alexander-Walker is averaging 14.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.0 triples in 31 minutes per game, despite coming off the bench. He didn’t get any steals in Game 3, but he continues to make a massive impact on the defensive end. He’ll continue to make life difficult for Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in Game 4 on Sunday.

    • Gets hot late in victory
      Irving finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite a sluggish start to the game, Irving delivered when it mattered, helping the Mavericks to an emphatic victory. Both he and Luka Doncic are at the peak of their powers at the moment. A repeat performance in Game 4 will see Dallas on the cusp of an impressive first-round victory.

    • Kyrie Irving scores 21 points despite slow start
      Kyrie Irving struggled early on Friday but still finished with 21 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and three triples against the Clippers in Game 3.

      Advice: Irving got off to an incredibly slow start in this game and entered halftime with just two points. He played well in both of the first two games of this series, but he didn’t get things going in Game 3 until after the break. His 19 second-half points were enough to allow Dallas to hang on and win this game despite a below average shooting night from Luka Doncic. They’ll look to take a 3-1 lead in the series in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Goes missing in Game 3 loss
      Bogdanovic finished with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Bogdanovic was a non-factor in the loss, playing only 13 minutes. At this point, his playing time is completely reliant on whether his shot is falling, something it was not doing Thursday. New York will look to bounce back Sunday when the two teams face off once again. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:33 pm
       
    • Kelly Oubre Jr. records 15/7/3/2 line in Game 3
      Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 6-of-8 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday’s 125-114 win over the Knicks, amassing 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: While Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will lead the way offensively for the 76ers, they will need production from the “others” if they’re to win the series. Oubre and Cam Payne stepped up in Game 3, with the latter making the most of his minutes after not playing at all in Game 2. Oubre was efficient offensively, shooting 75% from the field, and finished one blocked shot shy of a full stat line. As for Payne, he logged 16 minutes and finished with 11 points, one rebound, three assists, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. Philadelphia will need more of the same from Oubre and Payne in Game 4 on Sunday, as the Knicks still hold a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:42 pm
       
    • Boosts offense in loss
      White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the first round, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami.

    • Kyrie Irving hits four triples, scores 23 points
      Kyrie Irving finished Tuesday’s 96-93 win over the Clippers with 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and four 3-pointers in 42 minutes.

      Advice: Irving and the Mavericks bounced back from a brutal Game 1 performance, evening the series at one game apiece. While his final stat line in Game 1 may have been more impressive, Irving was more impactful in Game 2. With Kawhi Leonard back in the Clippers lineup, Dallas can’t afford to start slowly. They did a better job competing from the start on Tuesday and now hold home-court advantage ahead of Friday’s Game 3 in Dallas. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:12 pm
       
    • Does little in loss
      Oubre logged four points (2-7 FG), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 26 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Oubre's unproductive evening marked his second consecutive subpar performance in the quarterfinals. He joined a mediocre group of starters who scored only 22 points compared to the 69 points accrued by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Improved stat lines from Oubre will be necessary for the Sixers to even the series at home. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:37 am
