    • Karl-Anthony Towns scores 16 points in Game 1 loss
      Karl-Anthony Towns finished Wednesday’s 108-105 loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (6-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

      Advice: Minnesota’s top two offensive weapons struggled on Wednesday, with Towns shooting 6-of-20 from the field and Anthony Edwards slightly better at 6-of-16. KAT shot 51% from the field in the second-round series against Denver, and he was a 52.6% shooter in four regular-season meetings with the Mavericks. However, each meeting with Dallas was played before the trade deadline, so Wednesday was KAT’s first look at a Mavericks lineup that included PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford. If the Timberwolves are to win this series, Towns has to be more efficient than he was in Game 1. Game 2 is on Friday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns posts 23/11/2/2/1 line in Gm 7
      Karl-Anthony Towns finished Sunday’s Game 7 victory over the Nuggets with 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: On a night when Anthony Edwards struggled, Towns came up big offensively for the Timberwolves. He recorded his first 20-point double-double since Game 2, Minnesota’s 26-point blowout win in Denver. While Towns scored in double figures in each game, the rebounding and defensive production is just as crucial for the Timberwolves. One of the team’s more maligned players, KAT was one of their most valuable in the franchise’s second-ever Game 7 victory. Minnesota will host Dallas in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:41 pm
       
    • Donte DiVincenzo scores 39 in Game 7 defeat
      Donte DiVincenzo shot 11-of-21 from the field and 8-of-10 from the foul line in Sunday’s 130-109 loss to the Pacers, scoring 39 points with four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and nine 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: As the Knicks continued to lose players, DiVincenzo kept firing away. He was outstanding in Game 7, shooting over 50% from the field and scoring 39 points. While DiVincenzo had a few games this postseason in which he struggled, the overall play was excellent. His 2023-24 season was better than anyone imagined, with DiVincenzo progressing from valued reserve to fixture in the Knicks starting lineup. He provided 3rd-round fantasy value after the trade deadline and finished the season just outside the top 60 in 9-cat formats. Expecting that level of production from DiVincenzo in 2024-25 would be a bit much, especially with a healthy Knicks roster. However, he’ll be worth selecting just inside the top 100.

    • Record outing in Game 7 loss
      DiVincenzo posted 39 points (11-21 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist over 41 minutes in Sunday's 130-109 loss to Indiana in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: DiVincenzo led the way for New York on offense, leading all players in Sunday's winner-take-all game in threes made while setting a record for most threes in a Game 7 in NBA playoff history. As a result, DiVincenzo led all players in scoring, coming up one point shy of reaching the 40-point mark and tying a season-high point total. DiVincenzo had an outstanding series against Indiana, finishing the series averaging 22.7 points over seven contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:07 pm
       
    • Unlikely to return Sunday
      Anunoby (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

      Advice: Smith and ESPN's broadcast said Anunoby, who started in his return from a four-game absence and scored five points in five minutes before exiting, won't return Sunday. However, Fred Katz of The Athletic relays that the Knicks haven't officially ruled Anunoby out yet. Miles McBride started the second half in place of Anunoby. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:12 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) will not return Sunday
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Sidelined since Game 2, Anunoby gave it a go in Sunday’s Game 7. He did make both of his shot attempts, scoring five points, but it was clear that the Knicks forward was not his usual self. Anunoby played five minutes before exiting, and the decision was made at halftime to rule him out for the rest of the afternoon. Miles McBride started the third quarter; he and Alec Burks will play more minutes in the second half. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:05 pm
       
    • Woj: OG Anunoby, Josh Hart will play in Game 7
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) will play in Game 7 against Indiana on Sunday, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

      Advice: New York will have Anunoby back after he missed the last four games of the series. Though both players are still dealing with injuries, the Knicks will have most of their typical rotation available to play. Precious Achiuwa should be pushed back to the bench with OG back.

    • Will start Sunday
      Anunoby (hamstring) is active and will start Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Anunoby will return to action for the decisive Game 7 after missing the previous four matchups due to a left hamstring strain. Josh Hart is also available despite suffering an abdominal strain during Game 6. Anunoby had 28 points (10-19 FG) in 28 minutes during Game 2 before suffering the injury, but he'll likely face some limitations Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:04 pm
       
    • Woj: Anunoby, Hart ‘on course’ to play in Game 7
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) are “on course” to play in Game 7 against Indiana on Sunday.

      Advice: Both players came into the game as questionable, with Anunoby having been sidelined since Game 2. However, the Knicks are expected to be close to full strength as they look to advance to the conference finals. Precious Achiuwa should return to playing a reserve role if both OG and Hart end up playing. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:25 am
