  • Massive regression in loss
    Porter supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Although Porter was one of the heroes in Denver's Game 1 win, he was unable to get many shots to fall Sunday. Porter's five points matched his second-worst scoring total of the season, and although Nikola Jokic posted a huge 41-point total to pick up the slack, the Porter's production was sorely missed.

  • Goes off for 41 points in loss
    Jokic contributed 41 points (16-28 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 42 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Jokic put up his best scoring total since his 53-point effort in Game 4 against the Suns. Jokic's measly assist total was a clear sign that he tried to carry the team on his back instead of depending on his supporting cast. Denver has a 12-5 record over the course of the playoffs and is 4-2 when Jokic fails to collect a double-digit assist total. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:05 pm
     
  • Flirts with double-double
    Adebayo supplied 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Sizing up against Nikola Jokic is no easy task, but Adebayo got the job done once again despite failing to register a double-digit rebound total for the first time in the past four games. While he continues to distinguish himself defensively, his consistent scoring has been a hallmark of his playoff results. Adebayo had a career year in the category, averaging 20.4 points over 75 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:54 pm
     
  • Pours in 23 points
    Vincent had 23 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Vincent's a streaky scorer who can take over a game in the right scenario, and while Sunday's performance was nowhere near his 29-point tour de force against the Celtics two weeks ago, he continued his run of excellent perimeter shooting in the Game 2 win. Over his past six games, Vincent has shot a scintillating 55.2 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm
     
  • Lights it up from long range in win
    Strus chipped in 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: After going a dreadful 0-for-9 beyond the arc in Game 1, Strus' stroke caught fire in the second game of the series. Strus joined Duncan Robinson as part of a scoring barrage that erased Denver's huge advantage heading into the final stanza. Caleb Martin had stolen a bit of Strus' thunder throughout the playoffs, but with Martin a step slower in Game 2 due to a non-COVID illness, Strus played 29 minutes and picked up the slack. Strus was the hero of the play-in bracket with eight threes in the win over the Bulls, and he can be dangerous if his shot is dialed in. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:42 pm
     
  • Report: Heat to start Kevin Love over Caleb Martin
    The Heat will start Kevin Love over Caleb Martin in Game 2 against the Nuggets in Sunday, according to NBA TV's Jared Greenberg.

    Advice: Martin was listed as questionable due to an illness, but this isn't because of that. Aaron Gordon toasted the Heat in the first quarter of Game 1, so Miami will attempt to counter with more size down low. Gordon's speed could still prove to be too much for Love to handle, but at least he shouldn't get as many wide open dunks. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 6:22 pm
     
  • Cody Zeller (foot) cleared to play in Game 2
    Cody Zeller (sprained right foot) will play in Game 2 against Denver on Sunday.

    Advice: Zeller played a small role in Game 1, and he'll likely be used in a similar fashion in Game 2. He's a different look to throw at Nikola Jokic, but he isn't necessarily an effective option. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 6:04 pm
     
  • Caleb Martin, Cody Zeller available for Game 2
    Caleb Martin (illness) and Cody Zeller (right foot sprain) are both available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver on Sunday.

    Advice: Martin shined in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he really struggled in Game 1 against Denver. This illness may have bothered him during that game, so hopefully he'll be more productive in Game 2. He should continue to start for them alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Zeller only played eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, so he likely won't use him much, aside from trying to throw a different look at Nikola Jokic, even if it wasn't very effective.

  • Haliburton, Mikal Bridges to play for Team USA
    Tyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges will play for Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

    Advice: Shortly after reporting that Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves and Bobby Portis will represent the USA in the FIBA World Cup, Shams Charania updated his list to include Haliburton and Bridges. Haliburton became an All-Star for the first time this season and solidified his name as one of the best point guards in the league. Bridges had a solid season for Phoenix, but he took his game to another level after the trade to Brooklyn. There will be more names announced before training camp in August, but this is a quality roster so far, even if it isn't as star-studded as it has been in the past.
