  • No prob for D-Rob: Robinson sparks 4Q Miami rally
    Duncan Robinson totaled 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting (2-of-3 3-Pointers) and added an assist across 17 minutes in Sunday’s win over Denver.

    Advice: Robinson wasn’t on the court too much in this one, but he certainly made the most of his minutes. D-Rob started the fourth quarter, and to the untrained eye, it appeared Reggie Miller was out there wearing his jersey due to the speed of his scoring. Robinson racked up all 10 of his points in the first 2:16 of the quarter, acting as the catalyst for a 13-2 Miami run to take an 88-85 lead. Robinson and Miami’s other role players came to play after dreadful showings in Game 1, and they’ll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday’s Game 3 at home.

  • Ekes out another double-double
    Murray ended Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals with 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes.

    Advice: It took awhile for Murray to get going, but he was a key player in the second quarter, collecting eight points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in the stanza as the Nuggets built a 16-point lead before the Heat began to chip away at the deficit. Although Murray finished as the team's second-highest scorer, the team needs heroic nights from Murray, who has saved the Nuggets with his stellar play beyond the arc throughout the playoffs. Murray often stays on the court when Nikola Jokic takes a seat, and the Nuggets need Murray to step up in those moments. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Massive regression in loss
    Porter supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Although Porter was one of the heroes in Denver's Game 1 win, he was unable to get many shots to fall Sunday. Porter's five points matched his second-worst scoring total of the season, and although Nikola Jokic posted a huge 41-point total to pick up the slack, the Porter's production was sorely missed.

  • Goes off for 41 points in loss
    Jokic contributed 41 points (16-28 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 42 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Jokic put up his best scoring total since his 53-point effort in Game 4 against the Suns. Jokic's measly assist total was a clear sign that he tried to carry the team on his back instead of depending on his supporting cast. Denver has a 12-5 record over the course of the playoffs and is 4-2 when Jokic fails to collect a double-digit assist total. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:05 pm
     
  • Flirts with double-double
    Adebayo supplied 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Sizing up against Nikola Jokic is no easy task, but Adebayo got the job done once again despite failing to register a double-digit rebound total for the first time in the past four games. While he continues to distinguish himself defensively, his consistent scoring has been a hallmark of his playoff results. Adebayo had a career year in the category, averaging 20.4 points over 75 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:54 pm
     
  • Pours in 23 points
    Vincent had 23 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Vincent's a streaky scorer who can take over a game in the right scenario, and while Sunday's performance was nowhere near his 29-point tour de force against the Celtics two weeks ago, he continued his run of excellent perimeter shooting in the Game 2 win. Over his past six games, Vincent has shot a scintillating 55.2 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm
     
  • Lights it up from long range in win
    Strus chipped in 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: After going a dreadful 0-for-9 beyond the arc in Game 1, Strus' stroke caught fire in the second game of the series. Strus joined Duncan Robinson as part of a scoring barrage that erased Denver's huge advantage heading into the final stanza. Caleb Martin had stolen a bit of Strus' thunder throughout the playoffs, but with Martin a step slower in Game 2 due to a non-COVID illness, Strus played 29 minutes and picked up the slack. Strus was the hero of the play-in bracket with eight threes in the win over the Bulls, and he can be dangerous if his shot is dialed in. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:42 pm
     
  • Report: Heat to start Kevin Love over Caleb Martin
    The Heat will start Kevin Love over Caleb Martin in Game 2 against the Nuggets in Sunday, according to NBA TV's Jared Greenberg.

    Advice: Martin was listed as questionable due to an illness, but this isn't because of that. Aaron Gordon toasted the Heat in the first quarter of Game 1, so Miami will attempt to counter with more size down low. Gordon's speed could still prove to be too much for Love to handle, but at least he shouldn't get as many wide open dunks. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 6:22 pm
     
  • Cody Zeller (foot) cleared to play in Game 2
    Cody Zeller (sprained right foot) will play in Game 2 against Denver on Sunday.

    Advice: Zeller played a small role in Game 1, and he'll likely be used in a similar fashion in Game 2. He's a different look to throw at Nikola Jokic, but he isn't necessarily an effective option. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 6:04 pm
