    • Josh Hart tallies 21 points, 15 rebounds in Game 2
      Josh Hart finished Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 48 minutes.

      Advice: Hart played every second of Game 2, with his steal sparking a sequence capped by Donte DiVincenzo’s game-winning three with 13.1 seconds remaining. The 76ers continued to let Hart fire away from beyond the arc, and he made them pay for the second straight game. The Knicks wing was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc in Game 2, in addition to recording another double-double. Philadelphia did a much better job on the boards than in Game 1, but the approach of simply letting Hart shoot may need to change heading into Thursday’s Game 3. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:47 pm
       
    • Leads all scorers in loss
      Siakam finished Sunday's 109-94 loss to Milwaukee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 36 points (15-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes.

      Advice: Siakam scored a game-high 36 points, doing everything he could to keep the Pacers competitive during Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Bucks. It was arguably his best game since arriving in Indiana, a performance he will need to replicate should they hope to steal Game 2 before heading home. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:35 pm
       
    • Brook Lopez swats three shots, scores 11 points
      Brook Lopez played 32 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Pacers, accounting for 11 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Lopez blocked at least two shots in five of his final six regular-season games, and he has been one of the NBA’s best in that category for most of his six seasons in Milwaukee. Unsurprisingly, he accumulated three blocked shots in Sunday’s Game 1 victory, especially when factoring in his average of 3.4 per game in five meetings with the Pacers during the regular season. Add in the other numbers, and this was a good night for Lopez as the Bucks drew first blood. Game 2 is on Tuesday night. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam scores game-high 36 points in Game 1
      Pascal Siakam played 40 minutes in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to the Pacers, finishing with 36 points (15-of-25 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Siakam was the lone Pacers star to get anything going offensively in Game 1. While his production is not a surprise, given the combination of talent and postseason experience, the Pacers will need more from Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner to win the series. Siakam is problematic for Milwaukee to defend, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Spicy P will look to have another big night on Tuesday when the teams meet in Game 2.

    • Back to bench
      Tucker won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Mavericks on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Tucker started six straight games to end the regular season, averaging only 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds during that stretch. Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains sidelined, but Amir Coffey will take Leonard's place and be joined by Paul George, James Harden, Terance Mann and Ivica Zubac. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:14 pm
       
    • Remains starter sans Leonard
      Coffey will start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Mavericks on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Coffey scored in double figures in five of his last six regular-season appearances, including an 18-point performance as a starter during the finale. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined, Coffey figures to play extended minutes to start the postseason, but Norman Powell and P.J. Tucker are also candidates for increased roles.

    • Steps up late
      Hart finished with 22 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-104 win over Philadelphia in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Hart posted 13 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, hitting back-to-back threes and securing a game-sealing offensive rebound to stifle Philadelphia's comeback in the final minutes. Hart doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing offensive game, with his shot being a swing factor moving forward, but his relentless motor and huge workload fueled strong production Saturday. Hart played the entirety of the second half. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:03 am
       
    • Closer to the Hart: Josh goes off with 22/13/2/1
      Josh Hart totaled 22 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, a steal and four three-pointers across 42 minutes in Saturday’s 111-104 win over the 76ers.

      Advice: As he was for most of the season, Hart was a monster on the glass in the Game 1 win, leading all players in rebounds. He averaged a career-best 8.3 boards this season, and he averaged 10.9 post-All-Star break. In addition to the strong effort as a rebounder, Hart hit a pair of clutch triples to close out the game in the waning minutes, and he tied Jalen Brunson for team-lead in points. He’s been phenomenal for New York as a swiss army knife, scoring when needed, getting teammates involved when the situation warrants, providing quality defense and grabbing much-needed rebounds. As Geddy Lee sang on the Rush classic, “Philosophers and ploughmen. Each must know his part.” Hart surely knows his part, and he’s played it exceptionally well. Expect more of the same when the two teams meet again for Game 2 on Monday. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:17 pm
       
    • Anthony Edwards takes over, finishes with 33 PTS
      Anthony Edwards shot 14-of-24 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s 120-95 win over the Suns, scoring 33 points with nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: While Edwards was responsible for six of the Timberwolves’ 14 turnovers, he was at his best during the third quarter. Shooting 8-of-11 from the field, he scored 18 of his game-high 33 points in the frame. Edwards needed to up his production, as backcourt partner Mike Conley shot 2-of-12 from the field and finished with four points, three rebounds, and seven assists in 27 minutes. Conley shouldn’t play that poorly in Tuesday’s Game 2, but his production won’t change anything for Edwards, one of the NBA’s best young talents. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:12 pm
