    • PJ Washington scores 16 in Game 3 comeback win
      PJ Washington finished Sunday’s win over Minnesota with 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: Washington hasn’t been as prolific offensively as he was in the first four games of the Western Conference Semifinals, but he has remained a critical supplementary option. After missing all four of his 3-point attempts in Game 2, the former Hornet hit two in Game 3, including a crucial corner three with 3:38 remaining that gave Dallas the lead for good. Both of Dallas’ trade deadline additions have been huge for them, turning the team into a genuine title contender. Daniel Gafford added five points, three rebounds, one assist, and three blocks in 29 minutes. Dallas will look to close out Minnesota on Tuesday. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:00 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) questionable Monday
      Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring soreness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Despite sitting in a 0-3 hole, the Pacers will continue to exercise caution regarding Haliburton’s hamstring. This is the same hamstring he injured in January, and it took the All-NBA guard some time to get back to full strength after making a hasty return to action. Ben Sheppard started Game 3 but went scoreless, shooting 0-of-4 from the field. While the rookie could remain in that role if Haliburton cannot play on Monday, T.J. McConnell and current starter Andrew Nembhard are the guards DFS players should target. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:58 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Monday.

      Advice: Haliburton missed Saturday's Game 3, and the Pacers narrowly lost to Boston. Indiana will attempt to keep its season alive Monday, but it's unclear whether Haliburton will be able to suit up due to his left hamstring injury that he sustained in Game 2 on Thursday. If Haliburton is unavailable Monday, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard remain candidates to see increased roles. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Derrick White blocks four shots in Game 3 victory
      Derrick White shot 3-of-11 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over the Pacers, finishing with 13 points, five rebounds, seven assists, four blocks, and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

      Advice: Neither White nor Jrue Holiday (illness) shot the ball well in Game 3, but both came up big on the defensive end of the floor. While the latter was responsible for three steals, including one in the final seconds, the former racked up four blocked shots. White has accumulated six blocked shots and three steals for the series, more than making up for the inconsistent shooting. As for Holiday, he supplemented his three steals with 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes. Boston will look to close out the series on Monday night.

    • Jaylen Brown tallies 24 points, full line Saturday
      Jaylen Brown accumulated 24 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

      Advice: Boston now holds a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, as they erased an 18-point deficit on Saturday night. Brown and Jayson Tatum combined to score 60 points on 22-of-41 shooting from the field, and Al Horford chipped in with 23 points of his own. JB7 has proven to be a tough matchup for Indiana, as he’s averaged 30.0 points per game on 52.3% shooting from the field in this series. Brown and the Celtics will look to close out the series on Monday. And based on Boston nearly climbing out of a 0-3 hole in last season’s conference finals, they’re unlikely to take their foot off the gas. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:25 pm
       
    • Shooting woes continue
      Edwards produced 21 points (5-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block across 40 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Edwards has been struggling with his shot in recent games, and he hasn't been able to break out of the slump that seems to be affecting him since the Game 7 win over the Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals. Edwards has shot a combined 11-for-33 in the first two games of the series against the Mavericks, and he may need to bounce back if Minnesota wants to have a shot to steal at least one game in Dallas.

    • Shams: Haliburton (hamstring) to miss Game 3
      According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Tyrese Haliburton will miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals due to left hamstring soreness.

      Advice: Haliburton missed 10 games in the regular season due to a left hamstring injury, and he sustained that same injury in the third quarter of Game 2 on Thursday. Down 0-2 to Boston, Haliburton’s absence is a massive blow to Indiana’s hopes of coming back in the series. T.J. McConnell is a likely candidate to replace him in the starting five.

    • Set to miss Game 3
      Haliburton (hamstring) is expected to sit out Saturday's matchup with the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: In Game 2, Haliburton exited in the third quarter with a sore left hamstring, an injury to the same hamstring that kept him out for 10 games in January. T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard are all likely to see expanded roles out of the backcourt in Game 3 while Haliburton sits out. The severity of Haliburton's injury remains unclear, so for the time being, the Pacers seem to be viewing him as day-to-day. That being said, Haliburton isn't guaranteed to return to the lineup for Monday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:44 am
       
    • Anthony Edwards scores an inefficient 21 points
      Anthony Edwards played 40 minutes in Friday’s 109-108 loss to the Mavericks, tallying 21 points (5-of-17 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Edwards is in a slump at the worst possible time, shooting 18-of-57 from the field in his last three games. While the first of this downturn in production was Minnesota’s Game 7 victory over Denver, his inefficiency has been problematic against Dallas. His saving grace in Game 2 was the foul line, with Ant-Man making nine of his 10 attempts. While Edwards has undoubtedly looked ready for the bright lights numerous times, there’s still room for growth. The first two games of the Western Conference Finals have been a painful reminder for him and the Timberwolves. Game 2 is on Sunday in Dallas. Rotoworld Friday, 8:37 pm
