    • Jamal Murray finishes Game 5 win with 16 points
      Jamal Murray accumulated 16 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, four assists, and one steal in 41 minutes in Tuesday’s 112-97 win over Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been considerably better since he scored 25 points on 9-of-32 shooting in the first two games of this series. While Tuesday’s point total was modest, he shot 50% from the field and did most of his damage in the paint. Murray shot 6-of-10 in the paint, with five of those makes occurring in the restricted area. With Nikola Jokic abusing the Timberwolves and tallying 40 points and 13 assists without any turnovers, the Nuggets did not need a high-scoring night from Murray. Game 6 is on Thursday in Minneapolis, with Denver aiming to close out the series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:22 pm
       
    • Aaron Gordon records 18/10/5/1 line in Game 5 win
      Aaron Gordon finished Tuesday’s 112-97 win over the Timberwolves with 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 34 minutes.

      Advice: Gordon recorded his first double-double of the series on Tuesday, supplementing the Herculean efforts of Nikola Jokic to help the Nuggets take a 3-2 series lead. While he missed his lone 3-point attempt, AG has been a credible shooter from beyond the arc and the foul line. Counting Tuesday’s numbers, Gordon is shooting 8-of-13 from three and 9-of-12 from the charity stripe. During the regular season, he shot 29% from three and 65.8% from the foul line, so the production in this series has been a departure from the norm. However, a five-game sample size is nothing to scoff at. Gordon and the Nuggets will look to close out the series in Game 6 on Thursday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:12 pm
       
    • Available for Tuesday
      Murray (calf) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Questionable tags have been par for the course for Murray in this series, but he continues to push through his calf strain. He is not expected to have any restrictions Tuesday evening and has played at least 34 minutes in each contest of the Western Conference Semifinals thus far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:40 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 5 Tuesday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is available for Tuesday’s game against Minnesota.

      Advice: While considered questionable on the initial injury report, the expectation was that Murray would play. He’s officially available for Game 5, with the Nuggets having regained home-court advantage after winning Games 3 and 4 in Minneapolis. Denver will stick with its regular starting lineup; Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic complete the quintet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:33 pm
       
    • Gets second surgery on ankle
      Robinson underwent surgery Monday to address a stress injury to his left ankle, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: The procedure was Robinson's second of the season on the left ankle, which he reinjured during the Knicks' first-round playoff series victory over the 76ers. Robinson previously underwent surgery in December after suffering a stress fracture to the ankle and missed 50 games before returning to action in late March. He played in just 16 games (including playoffs) following his return before the Knicks announced last Tuesday that Robinson would be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks after aggravating the injury. It's unclear if that re-evaluation timeline still holds now that he's had surgery, but in any case, Robinson won't be available for the remainder of the Knicks' playoff run. He'll turn his focus toward getting back to full health for training camp in October. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:54 am
       
    • Does it all in Game 4 victory
      Tatum had 33 points (11-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 44 minutes during Monday's 109-102 win over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Tatum did a little bit of everything to lead Boston to taking a commanding 3-1 series lead, pacing all players in Monday's contest in scoring and rebounds while shooting a perfect mark from the free-throw line and adding a handful of assists along with a pair of steals. Tatum has scored 25 or more points in three of his four games against Cleveland, turning things up a notch over the last two contests while posting at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five dimes in each game.

    • Jayson Tatum posts 33/11/5/2/1 line in Game 4 win
      Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 33 points (11-of-24 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and two triples in a 109-102 win over Cleveland in Game 4 on Monday.

      Advice: Just like they did in the first round, the Celtics responded after a disappointing Game 2 loss. Tatum scored 33 points for the second straight game to help Boston reclaim homecourt advantage and take a 3-1 lead in this series. He got off to a hot start and scored 16 points in the first quarter to help Boston take an early lead. He was much better in their two road games, but he shouldn’t have any issues keeping this production up as they head home to try and close out the series on Wednesday and return to the Eastern Conference Finals.

    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Tues.
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable to play in Game 5 against Minnesota on Tuesday.

      Advice: Murray continues to deal with this calf injury, but it hasn’t force him to miss any time during this postseason. That likely won’t start in a pivotal Game 5, though if something changes, Reggie Jackson would start in his place. Rotoworld Monday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable again
      Murray is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain.

      Advice: After a tumultuous Game 2, Murray and the Nuggets rebounded for back-to-back wins in Minnesota to even the series. While the calf injury remains a storyline for the point guard, Murray hasn't looked bothered by the issue over the last two games, as he's averaged 21.5 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes. Murray is likely more probable than questionable for Game 5, but his official availability could come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:34 pm
