  • 106-74-0 1st Place
    • Ivica Zubac posts 15/6/2/1 line in Game 5 loss
      Ivica Zubac tallied 15 points (7-of-8 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 26 minutes in Wednesday’s 123-93 loss to the Mavericks.

      Advice: While he has reached double figures in points in all five games, Zubac’s influence on the boards has waned since Games 1 and 2. Having grabbed 27 rebounds in those contests, he produced 18 in Games 3 through 5. Add in Dallas’ ability to exploit the Clippers’ defensively in the two-man game, with Dereck Lively II receiving multiple lobs in Game 5, and this wasn’t as good a night for Zubac as the shooting accuracy would lead some to believe. Essentially, it’s known what Big Zu will bring to the table nightly, even if he isn’t going to bring elite production to the table. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:32 pm
       
    • Paul George goes quiet, finishes with 15 points
      Paul George shot 4-of-13 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Wednesday’s Game 5 loss to the Mavericks, tallying 15 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Like James Harden, George struggled after scoring 33 points in the Clippers’ Game 4 win on Sunday. The good news for DFS managers is that he was productive as a rebounder, but the combination of poor shooting and turnovers (three) was too much to overcome. George will need to play better in Game 6 if the Clippers are to ensure that Wednesday’s stinker wasn’t their last as a tenant of Crypto.com Arena. Game 6 is on Friday night in Dallas.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable Thursday
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Pacers-Bucks matchup.

      Advice: Haliburton struggled in Game 5 after popping up on the injury report with the same back issue but still led his team with 16 points. Whether the ailment will affect him in Game 6 remains to be seen. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:42 pm
       
    • Questionable for Thursday's game
      Haliburton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against Milwaukee.

      Advice: Haliburton has also been on the injury report ahead of the last two matchups but suited up and averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game over those appearances. If he's available again Thursday as the Pacers attempt to clinch the series, he'll likely be able to handle a sizable workload. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton leads Pacers with 16/4/6 in loss
      Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers on Tuesday with 16 points (6-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, six assists and four triples in a 115-92 loss to the Bucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Haliburton led the team in scoring, but that doesn’t mean that this was a good game for him. It was an ugly loss for a Pacers team that had complete control of this series and was looking to close it out. Haliburton was one of five players to score in double figures for Indiana, but they set a new season-low for points in the loss. They scored less than 100 points only once this season, but they have scored 94 and 92 points in their two losses this series. The offense will have to be much better in Game 6 in order to avoid having to go back to Milwaukee for Game 7. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Darius Garland scores 17 points in first quarter
      Darius Garland lit up the Magic with 23 points (9-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, five assists and three triples on Tuesday.

      Advice: Garland got off to a scorching hot start in this game and scored 17 points in the first quarter to help the Cavs jump out to a 33-23 lead. Unfortunately, he didn’t do much scoring after that. This has been a poor series for Garland, so it was encouraging to see him get off to a strong start, and he ended up having his highest-scoring game of the series. We’ll see if he can carry any of this shooting down to Orlando for Game 5 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:24 pm
       
    • Tobias Harris puts up 19/8 line in Game 5 win
      Tobias Harris provided a scoring boost on Tuesday with 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and three triples against the Knicks.

      Advice: Harris has struggled during this series, but this was his best performance through the first five games. He hit a pair of clutch free throws to give the 76ers a four-point lead in overtime, which contributed to his highest-scoring night of the series. He helped the 76ers stay alive, but they’ll need him to play like he did in this game moving forward if they want to pull off the comeback. Game 6 will be back in Philadelphia on Thursday.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) cleared to play in Game 5
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) will play in Game 5 on Tuesday against the Bucks.

      Advice: Haliburton was also questionable ahead of Game 4 with this back issue, but it hasn’t kept him off the court. With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard out again, Haliburton will look to lead his team to the next round with a win in this one. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:33 pm
       
    • Set to play Tuesday
      Haliburton (back) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bucks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite back spasms. There is no indication that the star guard will operate on a minute restriction. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:33 pm
