    • Leads bench again in Game 2
      Pritchard notched 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Pritchard once again provide a spark off the Celtics bench in Thursday's contest, leading all Boston bench players in scoring and assists while ending as one of five Celtics in double figures in scoring in a losing effort. Pritchard has had a strong semifinals series through two games, reaching double figures in both games while playing at least 20 minutes off the bench in both contests. It will be key for the Celtics to get contributions from Pritchard and the rest of the bench this series, and we will likely continue to see Pritchard earn a large chunk of minutes on the second unit.

    • Rudy Gobert active Friday vs. Nuggets
      Rudy Gobert is active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Timberwolves and Nuggets.

      Advice: Gobert is set to be back in the mix after missing one game for the birth of his child. His return will cut down Naz Reid’s involvement. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:19 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Gobert (personal) isn't on the injury report for Friday's Game 3 agains the Nuggets.

      Advice: Gobert will return to action Friday after missing Game 2 due to the birth of his child. The newly crowned Defensive Player of the Year should reclaim his starting spot from Kyle Anderson in Game 3. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:42 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam scores 14 points in Game 2 loss
      Pascal Siakam shot 7-of-18 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 130-121 loss to the Knicks, scoring 14 points with nine rebounds, two assists, and one blocked shot in 36 minutes.

      Advice: After shooting 73.2% from the foul line during the regular season, Siakam has been even worse in the playoffs. He missed both attempts in Game 2, falling to 16.7% (1-of-6) for the series. Add in the six games against the Bucks, and Siakam is now 7-of-28 (25%) for the postseason. The Knicks potentially losing OG Anunoby to a hamstring injury will impact how they defend Siakam, with Precious Achiuwa taking on the responsibility down the stretch of Game 2. Regardless of who’s defending Spicy P, he must be much better at the foul line. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:22 pm
       
    • Payton Pritchard chips in 16 points off bench
      Payton Pritchard provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (5-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against Cleveland on Tuesday.

      Advice: Pritchard played a decent-sized role off the bench in the first round, but he didn’t make a significant impact like he did in this game. However, he kicked off this series with a solid performance as a reserve, and he wasn’t the only one. Luke Kornet, who has filled in as the backup center behind Al Horford, collected 10 rebounds and two blocks. Pritchard and Kornet should both continue to play important roles off the bench, but it is unlikely that either contributes in the box score to the level that they did in this game.

    • Out for season
      The Knicks announced Tuesday that Robinson sustained a stress injury to his surgically repaired left ankle last week during the team's first-round series victory over the 76ers and will be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks.

      Advice: Robinson won't need an additional surgery and is expected to make a full recovery before training camp, but the setback with the ankle rules him out for the rest of the Knicks' playoff run. In Robinson's absence, Precious Achiuwa is expected to re-enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Isaiah Hartenstein during the Knicks' second-round series versus the Pacers. Robinson made just 31 appearances during the regular season, posting averages of 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 assists in 24.8 minutes.

    • Shams: Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out 6-8 weeks
      Mitchell Robinson has sustained a stress injury in his left ankle and will miss six-to-eight weeks, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Robinson’s season is likely done, since the earliest he could return would be Game 6 of the NBA Finals, based on this timeline. He only played 12 minutes in Game 1 of this series, with Isaiah Hartenstein logging the majority of the minutes at center. Precious Achiuwa may log a few minutes off the bench, but Hartenstein will continue to be the primary center option. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:18 pm
       
    • Wins Defensive Player of the Year
      The NBA announced Tuesday that Gobert (personal) has been named the 2023-24 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

      Advice: Gobert has now tied Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace for the most DPOY awards in NBA history with four. Gobert was the anchor Minnesota's defense, which boasted a league-best 108.4 defensive rating. The defensive stalwart's 2.1 blocks per game ranked sixth in the NBA while his 12.9 rebounds per contest ranked second. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:44 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out Wednesday vs. Pacers
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury management) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s Knicks-Pacers matchup.

      Advice: Robison was a non-factor in Game 1 of the second round and only totaled two points with two rebounds in 12 minutes. His absence will give Precious Achiuwa a chance to break into the rotation. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:14 pm
