  • Strong outing off bench
    Isaac finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Isaac delivered his best outing of the postseason, and Wendell Carter played well as a starter, so it's safe to assume both players will stick in their current roles after swapping places to start the postseason. Across four postseason games against Cleveland, Isaac has averaged 8.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals in 21.3 minutes. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Sinks two triples in win
    Carter provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Carter started both wins in Orlando after coming off the bench during the two losses in Cleveland. The big man totaled just 11 points on 21.4 percent shooting through the first three games, so his efficient offensive production was a surprising bright spot for the Magic. Jonathan Isaac, who Carter replaced in the starting lineup, popped for 14, seven boards and two blocks during the Game 4 win, so it's safe to assume both players are more comfortable in their current roles.

  • Scores only nine points in win
    Banchero racked up nine points (4-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Banchero struggled to find an offensive rhythm and scored his fewest points since Nov. 29, but the Magic still evened the series at 2-2. The budding superstar averaged 25.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.0 minutes over the first three matchups of the opening-round series and scored in single digits only twice during the regular season.

  • Intends to play with wrist injury
    Bogdanovic recently underwent an MRI that showed ligament damage in his left wrist but is expected to play through the issue during the postseason, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic's left wrist has been taped throughout the postseason, and he's occasionally mentioned dealing with pain. However, the veteran has not appeared on the Knicks' injury report since the playoffs started, which isn't expected to change moving forward. Bogdanovic has scored in double figures just once through three games against Philadelphia and is shooting only 29.2 percent from the field. Scotto relays that Bogdanovic may need surgery on his wrist this offseason. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Takes two shots in 24 minutes
    Harris racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: After playing 33 and 34 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the opening-round series -- both losses in Cleveland, Harris played 21 and 24 minutes during the two wins in Orlando. Outside of a 14-point outing in Game 2, Harris has been a non-factor offensively, going just 1-for-11 from the field. Defensively, he has six steals through four games and at least one swipe in each matchup. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Mixed results in Game 4
    Suggs registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Suggs exploded for 24 points (9-11 FG) during Orlando's Game 3 win and was productive again in Game 4 as the Magic evened the series at 2-2. However, he committed seven turnovers Saturday after coughing the ball up only three times over the prior three matchups. Despite inconsistent production to start the postseason, Suggs has been one of the Magic's top overall producers, averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.8 minutes across four games.

  • Stars in Game 4 win
    Wagner finished Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 34 points (13-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 40 minutes.

    Advice: Wagner didn't score more than 18 points through the first three matchups of the opening-round series but exploded for a game-high 34 in Game 4 and was incredibly efficient. His 34 points marked his most since Feb. 8, and his 13 rebounds were a career high. Wagner struggled mightily with his three-point shot to end the regular season, but he's made at least two triples in three of four postseason games thus far. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Non-factor in loss
    Niang notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to Orlando in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Niang has totaled just 14 points and six rebounds through Clevleand's first four postseason games. He's averaging 18.5 minutes per game. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Scoreless in 21 minutes
    Okoro provided one rebound, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Okoro scored 14 points during the first two games in Cleveland -- both wins. However, he was held scoreless across the two losses in Orlando and attempted three total shots during those contests. On the bright side, Okoro has eight steals through four postseason games thus far. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
