  • Jalen Brunson makes Knicks history in Game 4 win
    Jalen Brunson shot 18-of-34 from the field and 9-of-11 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 win over the 76ers, accumulating 47 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

    Advice: Brunson had a game for the ages on Sunday, leading the Knicks to a win that gave them a 3-1 series lead. Not only did he establish a new playoff career-high with 47 points, but this was also a Knicks franchise record (Bernard King held the record at 46). Another piece of history for Brunson: he became the first player in Knicks playoff history to drop a line of at least 40 points and 10 assists. There was an injury scare at the end of the third quarter, as Brunson appeared to tweak his right knee, but the All-Star guard returned after spending a few minutes in the locker room. The Knicks will look to close out the series in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago
     
  • Returns after brief absence
    Brunson (leg) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Brunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter after appearing to bang knees with Kyle Lowry. Brunson was only in the locker room for a few minutes before being cleared to return. He's been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists through three quarters.

  • Leaves Game 4 early
    Brunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to an apparent right leg injury, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Brunson has been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists in 34 minutes, so his potential absence in the fourth quarter could be costly. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Miles McBride figures to get plenty of run in Brunson's absence. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Luka Doncic (knee) available for Game 4 Sunday
    Luka Doncic (right knee soreness) is available for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

    Advice: Initially questionable for Sunday’s contest, Doncic has been given the all-clear. Nothing changes for the Mavericks starters, with Dallas looking to take a 3-1 series lead. Rotoworld Today, 11:44 am
     
  • Gets green light
    Doncic (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers.

    Advice: Doncic briefly left Game 3 due to right knee soreness and was listed as questionable for Game 4, but there's been no mention of any restrictions for the MVP candidate. Across the first three games of the opening-round series, Doncic averaged 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 42.7 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am
     
  • Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) will not return Sunday
    Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) will not return to Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Already dealing with a left wrist injury, Bogdanovic was in the game for seconds before Nicolas Batum collided with his left leg while diving for a loose ball. As a result, Bogdanovic will not play again on Sunday afternoon. Miles McBride will play more minutes off the bench as the Knicks look to manage being without three rotation players due to injury.

  • Won't return Sunday
    Bogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.

    Advice: Bogdanovic played just one minute before suffering a left foot contusion and didn't record any counting stats. He is also dealing with ligament damage in his left wrist but was expected to play through that injury. Bogdanovic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday when the series shifts back to New York for Game 5. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
     
  • Will start sans Leonard
    Coffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
     
  • Amir Coffey to start Sunday’s Game 4 vs. Mavericks
    James Harden, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Paul George, and Ivica Zubac will start Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

    Advice: Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out, so Coffey returns to the starting lineup for Game 4. He started Game 1 but failed to offer much value, finishing with six points, three rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers. In addition to Coffey starting, look for Norman Powell to play more minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 11:07 am
