  • Ingram, JJJ to join USA FIBA World Cup roster
    According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Brandon Ingram and Jaren Jackson Jr. will join Team USA for the FIBA World Cup.

    Advice: BI and JJJ join Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Austin Reaves and Big Bobby Portis on the team. Woj reports that the team will finalize its 12-man roster later in June.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 8:57 pm
  • 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. NBCSportsEDGE.com Sunday, 11:03 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.

  • 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 Sunday, 9:42 pm

  • Caleb Martin, Cody Zeller available for Game 2
    Caleb 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.

  • Anthony Edwards among current Team USA commitments
    Anthony 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.com Sunday, 5:39 pm
  • Woj: Danuel House picks up 2023-24 player option
    Danuel 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.

  • Muted performance Thursday
    Butler racked up 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 104-93 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Butler filled the box score in the loss but was noticeably passive on the offensive end. He has been arguably the best player throughout the playoffs to this point, meaning there is likely to be some fatigue setting in, and the 13 points was his lowest output in this postseason. He will be doing everything he can to keep the Heat alive, starting with Game 2 in Denver on Monday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:50 pm
  • Aleksej Pokusevski suffers fractured right arm
    Aleksej Pokusevski suffered a small fracture of his right humerus bone during a workout in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. 

    Advice: Pokusevski's 2022-23 season came to a premature end due to a left knee contusion, and now he's dealing with another injury. Poku suffered a small fracture of his right humerus bone (upper arm) and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Given the timeline, Pokusevski should not be at risk of missing the start of training camp in September. However, the recent injury issues are a concern regarding his ability to consistently contribute to the Thunder rotation and be of value to fantasy managers.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Thursday, 7:06 pm
