    • Donte DiVincenzo hits game-winner, scores 19 PTS
      Donte DiVincenzo played 37 minutes in Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia, tallying 19 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers.

      Advice: While former college roommate Jalen Brunson struggled with his shot most of the night, DiVincenzo performed better than in Game 1 on Saturday. He also made the biggest shot of Game 2, as his 3-pointer with 13.1 seconds remaining gave the Knicks the lead for good. Unlike Game 1, when Miles McBride replaced him in the lineup in crunch time, DiVincenzo was on the court on Monday and came up big for the Knicks. McBride played 21 minutes off the bench, accounting for nine points, one rebound, two assists, and one steal. Game 3 is on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Monday, 7:29 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner (shoulder) points 18/7/2/1/1 line
      Franz Wagner (right shoulder) accounted for 18 points (5-of-17 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes in Monday’s 96-86 loss to Cleveland.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner had a rough night offensively. In addition to the poor shooting, he committed six of Orlando’s 16 turnovers (Banchero also had six). Also, Wagner appeared to injure his right shoulder during the final minute to make matters worse. Play never stopped, so he remained on the court through the final buzzer, which may land Wagner on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s Game 3. The other injury concern is Jalen Suggs, who strained his left knee during the first quarter. He returned to begin the third and finished with nine points, six rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 29 minutes. Rotoworld Monday, 7:18 pm
       
    • Nears 20 points in balanced outing
      Wagner tallied 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Wagner struggled to find his shot a bit in Monday's defeat but still provided a lift offensively by ending two points shy of the 20-point mark while leading all Magic players in rebounds in a balanced performance. Wagner has put together back-to-back strong showings for Orlando to start the opening-round series, posting 18 points and seven boards in both contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Passive performance Sunday
      Haliburton accumulated nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-94 loss to the Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Haliburton managed just nine points in the Game 1 loss, with the Bucks doing a great job containing his offensive prowess. The two teams will face off again Tuesday, and should the Pacers hope to head home with the series tied at 1-1, they are going to need Haliburton to be more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor.

    • Tyrese Haliburton attempts seven shots in Game 1
      Tyrese Haliburton accounted for nine points (4-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to the Bucks.

      Advice: Haliburton recorded a full stat line in his playoff debut, but his offensive impact was limited. He attempted seven shots, six fewer than backup point guard T.J. McConnell, who finished with 10 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Part of that was by design, as the Bucks aggressively denied Haliburton opportunities to operate in the open floor. Indiana needs to ramp up the pace in Game 2 on Tuesday because that changes everything regarding the quality of shots the team gets, from Haliburton on down. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:17 pm
       
    • Stuffs stat sheet in loss Saturday
      Wagner posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic in this loss, and while Wagner had a rough outing from the field, he still salvaged his fantasy value by delivering a strong performance across the board, particularly on defense. Most of Wagner's value is tied to what he can do offensively, however, and on that note, he's now scored 18 or more points in six of his last seven appearances dating back to the regular season.

    • Franz Wagner finishes Game 1 loss with 18 points
      Franz Wagner shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-4 from the foul line in Saturday’s 97-83 loss to the Cavaliers, amassing 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: While Paolo Banchero (24 points) led the Magic in scoring, Wagner had the more efficient playoff debut. While recording a full stat line, he did not commit a turnover in 38 minutes on the court. Banchero had a usage of 30.5, with Wagner coming in at 19.1. These two will continue to run the show for a Magic squad that lacks a playmaking lead guard capable of logging heavy minutes, which will benefit Wagner. He and the Magic will look to rebound on Monday when the teams meet again in Game 2 in Cleveland. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Ayo Dosunmu shoots poorly in season finale Friday
      Ayo Dosunmu (right quad contusion) shot 3-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Friday’s loss to the Heat, scoring 10 points with four rebounds, four assists, three steals, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Give Donsunmu credit for not allowing the shooting struggles to limit what he did in other areas, as he accumulated four assists, three steals, and two blocked shots. However, a cold night from three (2-of-11) sank Dosunmu’s field-goal percentage like a stone. Friday was a disappointing ending for a player who made significant strides after the Bulls lost Zach LaVine and Patrick Williams to season-ending foot injuries. Dosunmu provided 11th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats and 12th-round value in 8-cat. Where he’s selected in drafts ahead of next season depends on the availability of LaVine and Williams, with the latter being a restricted free agent. Rotoworld Friday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Ayo Dosunmu (quad) active Friday vs. Heat
      Ayo Dosunmu (right quad contusion) is listed as active for the Bulls’ Friday matchup with the Heat.

      Advice: Dosunmu has been upgraded from questionable to active after logging 41 minutes against the Hawks. That figure could drop depending on Alex Caruso’s health, though. Rotoworld Friday, 2:48 pm
