  • Returns from locker room
    Nance (leg) has rejoined the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nance went back to the locker room late in the third quarter but returned to the Pelicans bench to open up the fourth quarter. He should be considered good to go for the final period. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to locker room
    Nance went back to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against the Thunder with what seems to be a right leg issue, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Advice: Nance exited the contest late in the third inning and went back to the Pelicans locker room. While he's absent, Jonas Valanciunas could see more of the center work while Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could slide into larger roles. Nance should be considered questionable to return.

  • Jayson Tatum scores 28 points in loss to Heat
    Jayson Tatum scored 28 points (10-of-20 FGs) and made six of his eight attempts from the charity stripe in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He also amassed eight rebounds, three assists, a block, and two made 3-pointers

    Advice: Tatum couldn’t quite match his production from Game 1 but was second among all players with 28 points while his rebounding and assist numbers dropped from his previous outing. Poor shooting from the supporting cast and lackluster defense led to Boston’s downfall despite efficient nights from Tatum and Brown. Rotoworld Today, 6:56 pm
     
  • Surpasses 30 points in Game 2 loss
    Brown finished with 33 points (13-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Brown led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three and hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance in a losing effort. Brown had his breakout game in the series against the Heat after posting 17 points in Sunday's Game 1 win. Brown has recorded at least 17 points and eight rebounds in both games, the type of performance the Celtics hope continues the rest of the quarterfinals series. Rotowire.com Today, 6:55 pm
     
  • Nears 30 points in balanced game
    Tatum notched 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 41 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Tatum led all players in Wednesday's contest in minutes played while pacing the Celtics in shots made at the free-throw line and ending two points shy of the 30-point mark in a losing effort. Tatum, who also hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total, has impressed so far in the series against Miami, recording at least 20 points and eight boards in both postseason contests.

  • Boosts offense in double figures
    White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the quarterfinals, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami. Rotowire.com Today, 6:54 pm
     
  • Jaylen Brown leads Celtics with 33 points in loss
    Jaylen Brown scored 33 points (13-of-23 FGs) in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He shot 3-of-6 from the foul line with eight rebounds, an assist, a steal, a block, and four made 3-pointers.

    Advice: Brown got especially hot toward the end of the first half and topped Jayson Tatum in points while matching him in rebounds. His successful scoring night wasn’t enough to counteract Miami’s shot-making, though. Rotoworld Today, 6:50 pm
     
  • Leads offensively in double-double
    Herro posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Herro stepped up big for Miami in a bounce-back win in Game 2, leading all players in the contest in threes made and assists while leading all Heat players in scoring in an impressive outing. Herro set a season-high in assists for any Miami player this year, tying the second-most dimes by a Heat player in a playoff game in team history. Miami will need Herro to continue to step up offensively, especially with Jimmy Butler (knee) inactive. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 pm
     
  • Strong from deep in 20-point outing
    Martin ended with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Martin had a breakout performance in Wednesday's bounce-back victory, earning his second straight start to begin the series against the Celtics. Martin connected on a handful of threes while ending as one of three Heat players with 20 or more points, a mark he surpassed on four occasions during the regular season. Martin responded well after scoring four points in Game 1 and Miami will look for him to continue to help boost the offense in Game 3 and beyond. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 pm
