  • Tyrese Maxey finishes Game 4 loss with 23 points
    Tyrese Maxey accounted for 23 points (8-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 43 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

    Advice: Maxey and the 76ers are now on the brink of elimination, and his production decreased in Philadelphia’s two home games. After shooting 54% from the field in Games 1 and 2 (68 points), Maxey shot 17-of-42 and scored 48 at home. That isn’t terrible, but the decrease becomes magnified when the “supporting cast” continues to offer limited value. Kyle Lowry (7/5/7 with one 3-pointer) shot 1-of-6 from the field, and Tobias Harris (10 points, eight rebounds) was 4-of-10. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York, with Philadelphia facing a 3-1 deficit.

  • 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 Today, 12:57 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 12:10 pm
     
  • Luka Doncic (knee) available for Game 4 Sunday

  • Gets green light

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
     
  • Delon Wright (personal) probable for Game 4 Monday
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is probable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wright is expected to play after missing Saturday’s Game 3 defeat. With Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, he should approach 20 minutes if cleared for Monday’s contest. Rotoworld Today, 10:30 am
     
  • Terry Rozier (neck) ruled out for Game 4 Monday
    Terry Rozier (neck spasms) is out for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Rozier remains sidelined for another game, meaning Jaime Jaquez Jr. will continue to start alongside Tyler Herro. The rookie wing is worth slotting into DFS lineups for Monday’s slate. Also, Delon Wright should play more minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 10:27 am
     
  • Likely available Monday
    Wright (personal) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wright will likely be back to soak up some of Terry Rozier's (neck) missing minutes after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss due to personal reasons. In Game 1, Wright posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 10:26 am
