Massive regression in lossPorter 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.

Lights it up from long range in winStrus 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.comMax Strus MIA - SG,SF -
Cody Zeller (foot) cleared to play in Game 2Cody 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.comCody Zeller MIA - C -
Caleb Martin, Cody Zeller available for Game 2Caleb Martin (illness) and Cody Zeller (right foot sprain) are both available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver on Sunday.
Advice: Martin shined in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he really struggled in Game 1 against Denver. This illness may have bothered him during that game, so hopefully he'll be more productive in Game 2. He should continue to start for them alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Zeller only played eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, so he likely won't use him much, aside from trying to throw a different look at Nikola Jokic, even if it wasn't very effective.

Haliburton, Mikal Bridges to play for Team USATyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges will play for Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Advice: Shortly after reporting that Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves and Bobby Portis will represent the USA in the FIBA World Cup, Shams Charania updated his list to include Haliburton and Bridges. Haliburton became an All-Star for the first time this season and solidified his name as one of the best point guards in the league. Bridges had a solid season for Phoenix, but he took his game to another level after the trade to Brooklyn. There will be more names announced before training camp in August, but this is a quality roster so far, even if it isn't as star-studded as it has been in the past.

Anthony Edwards among current Team USA commitmentsAnthony Edwards, Bobby Portis and Austin Reaves are currently committed to play for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup this summer, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Advice: Edwards is one of the brightest young stars in the league, so it shouldn't be surprising that he'll suit up for Team USA in August. After being a solid player at times last season, Reaves broke out for the Lakers and shined in the postseason for them, which clearly vaulted him into contention for a spot to represent the country. Portis has been a key bench piece for the Bucks over the last couple of seasons, and he'll likely play a similar role for them in the tournament. Reports from last October indicated that Trae Young and Bradley Beal could also play for Team USA. We'll see who Grant Hill and Steve Kerr fill out this team with as their training camp approaches in August. NBCSportsEDGE.comAnthony Edwards MIN - SG,SF -
Julius Randle undergoes arthroscopic ankle surgeryThe Knicks announced that Julius Randle underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left ankle on Friday.
Advice: Randle, who initially injured his left ankle late in the regular season, was hampered by the issue throughout the team's playoff run. The two-time All-Star reinjured his ankle during Game 5 of the Knicks' first-round series against the Cavaliers and did not look like himself at all during the second round. According to the team, Randle is expected to resume basketball activities at some point this summer. He finished this season as a top 75 player in 9-cat formats, rebounding after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. Having a full season with Jalen Brunson under his belt should help Randle maintain that status, if not exceed it, in 2023-24. NBCSportsEDGE.comJulius Randle NYK - PFGTD -
Domantas Sabonis (thumb) hoping to avoid surgeryDomantas Sabonis was due to undergo another scan on his injured right thumb on Thursday and hopes to avoid having to undergo surgery.
Advice: Sabonis played a significant chunk of the season with an avulsion fracture in his right thumb. He had the thumb scanned immediately after the Kings' season concluded and was due to undergo another evaluation on Thursday. The hope is that Sabonis will be able to avoid surgery this summer. The results of the second scan and ensuing treatment plan will impact his availability for Lithuania in this summer's FIBA World Cup. NBCSportsEDGE.comDomantas Sabonis SAC - PF,CGTD -
Woj: Danuel House picks up 2023-24 player optionDanuel House has picked up his $4.3M player option for the 2023-24 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Advice: House played in a reserve role off the bench for the Sixers this season. In 56 games he averaged 4.8 points per game and shot just over 47% from the field. With a new coaching staff in place and a roster that might look very different come training camp, House has the potential to see himself in a bigger role next season, however time will tell.
