  • Used sparingly in win
    Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 12:16 am
     
  • Andrew Nembhard scores 20 points in Game 2 victory
    Andrew Nembhard shot 8-of-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks, tallying 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

    Advice: Nembhard was one of the Pacers who bounced back after struggling in Sunday’s Game 1 defeat. After going 2-of-6 from the field and scoring six points in the series opener, the second-year guard was one of three Indiana players to finish Game 2 with 20 or more. That production level may not become the norm for Nembhard in this series, but the Bucks’ need to keep Tyrese Haliburton in check means there will be opportunities for Andrew to shine. Game 3 is on Friday in Indianapolis. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:45 pm
     
  • Moves to bench
    Coffey will move to the bench for Tuesday's Game 2 versus Dallas, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

    Advice: This is an expected move for the Clippers, as Kawhi Leonard has the green light to return from his knee issue. Coffey was held in check in Game 1 Sunday, scoring six points with three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:35 pm
     
  • Strong from deep in loss
    Harris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, during which the guard did not connect on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
     
  • Woeful in Game 1 loss
    Nembhard ended Sunday's 109-94 loss to Milwaukee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with six points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three assists in 30 minutes.

    Advice: Nembhard had very little impact in the loss, continuing what has been a disappointing season despite his starting role. His lack of production highlights the Pacers' need for a reliable secondary backcourt option, something Nemhard has failed to do. Fans will be hoping he can at least be moderately impactful in Game 2. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:41 pm
     
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) ruled out Monday vs. Nuggets
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) is out for Monday’s Game 2 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Reddish remains sidelined for another game, and his absence will not significantly impact the Lakers’ rotation. Starters D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves will play most of the minutes on the perimeter, with reserves Spencer Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent combining to log 21 minutes in Saturday’s Game 1 defeat.

  • Shines off bench in Game 1 loss
    Wright recorded 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Wright led all bench players in scoring in Game 1, connecting on all five of his three-point attempts while chipping in a couple of steals on the defensive end. Keep an eye on the status of Terry Rozier (neck) ahead of Wednesday's Game 2, as his potential return could impact Wright's workload. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:30 pm
     
  • Out for Game 2
    Reddish (ankle) is out for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Reddish will miss the second game of the Lakers' first-round series due to an ankle sprain he suffered late in the regular season. Taurean Prince will likely continue to see valuable minutes off the bench in his absence. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:10 pm
     
  • De’Anthony Melton (back) ruled out for Game 2
    De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been ruled out for the 76ers Game 2 matchup against the Knicks on Monday.

    Advice: Melton is set to kick off a new week by missing his fourth consecutive contest. The 76ers guard has played sparingly in 2024 and his absence won’t affect Philadelphia’s current rotation. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:28 pm
