  • Bojan Bogdanovic to play through wrist injury
    According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, an MRI of Bojan Bogdanovic’s left wrist revealed ligament damage, but he will continue to play.

    Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing with a protective wrap on his injured wrist, initially sprained in early April. The veteran forward appeared to aggravate the issue during Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers but remains in the game. A subsequent MRI has revealed ligament damage, and surgery during the offseason is a potential option. In the short term, Bogdanovic will continue to play through the injury.

  • 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 Today, 8:10 am
     
  • 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 Today, 7:56 am
     
  • 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 Today, 7:49 am
     
  • 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 Today, 7:43 am
     
  • 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 Today, 7:35 am
     
  • Drops dud Saturday
    LeVert finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: LeVert's three-point shot failed him in Game 4, and he's now shooting just 23.5 percent from deep during the postseason. He should continue to operate as Cleveland's top bench option, but LeVert has scored in double figures just once through four postseason games after averaging 17.9 points on 54.3 percent shooting across his final seven regular-season appearances.

    Advice: Strus has failed to score more than seven points in four straight games to start the postseason. He's shooting 38.5 percent from the field during that stretch. Strus grabbed only two rebounds during the two losses in Orlando after totaling 18 boards across the two wins in Cleveland. Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
