  • Leader from deep in 25-point Game 1
    DiVincenzo notched 25 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 44 minutes in Monday's 121-117 win over Indiana in Game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: DiVincenzo put on a show from deep in Monday's victory, leading all players in the game in threes made while ending as one of three Knicks with 20 or more points. DiVincenzo, who also recorded a team-high pair of blocks, posted his highest point total of the postseason and has tallied 20 or more points in two straight outings. DiVincenzo has found success from deep of late, connecting on five threes in back-to-back games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:46 pm
  • Nears triple-double in Game 1 win
    Hart tallied 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one block over 48 minutes in Monday's 121-117 win over Indiana in Game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Hart did a little bit of everything for New York to boost the team to a Game 1 victory, leading all players in Monday's contest in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high trio of steals and coming up two dimes shy of a triple-double. Hart has seen a heavy amount of playing time so far this postseason, resulting in tallying a double-double in four of his seven playoff contests. Hart, who posted his highest point total of the playoffs, has surpassed the 20-point mark on four occasions. Rotowire.com Today, 7:46 pm
  • Tyrese Haliburton scores six points in Game 1 loss
    Tyrese Haliburton shot 2-of-6 from the field in Monday’s 121-117 loss to the Knicks, recording a stat line of six points, two rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

    Advice: The Pacers hope this series will work out similarly to their first-round triumph over Milwaukee regarding Haliburton’s offensive production. He reached double figures in the final five games of that series after scoring nine points in the first-round opener, and the All-Star point guard was limited to six on Monday night. Haliburton did rack up eight assists and four steals, so all wasn’t lost for DFS players. However, he’ll need to do more as a scorer in this series, even with Indiana’s overall firepower. Haliburton will look to rebound in Game 2 on Wednesday. Rotoworld Today, 7:42 pm
  • OG Anunoby scores 13 points in Game 1 victory
    OG Anunoby played 42 minutes in Monday’s 121-117 win over the Pacers, finishing with 13 points (5-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals, and three 3-pointers.

    Advice: Anunoby did not produce a prolific stat line, but he was solid as the Knicks rallied to take Game 1. The versatile forward finished one rebound shy of a double-double and was also responsible for a team-high three steals. Anunoby has his hands full defensively with former Raptors teammate Pascal Siakam, but he made a few critical plays off the ball down the stretch. His defensive versatility will be vital in this series due to Indiana’s depth and high-powered offensive attack. Game 2 is on Wednesday night. Rotoworld Today, 7:37 pm
  • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 2 Monday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is available for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: As expected, Murray is available for Game 2, with the Nuggets trailing 1-0. He still isn’t 100%, but the Nuggets guard will continue to play through the injury. Reggie Jackson’s role becomes more critical with Murray’s injury, especially with Denver not getting much production from its bench in Game 1. Rotoworld Today, 6:16 pm
  • Ruled out for Game 1
    Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against Boston.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since late October due to ankle surgery. He'll remain sidelined to begin the Cavaliers' second-round series, and it's unclear when or if he'll be able to return during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 2:39 pm

  • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) available Tuesday
    Tim Hardaway Jr. is available for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

    Advice: THJ sat out Games 3-6 of Dallas’ first-round series against the Clippers, but he’ll be good to go for Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. He averaged 14.4 points and 2.7 triples in the regular season, so his return will be a welcomed sight to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving thanks to his scoring and floor spacing.

  • Carries Cleveland to Game 7 win
    Mitchell finished Sunday's 106-94 win over the Magic in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 39 points (11-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 15-17 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 45 minutes.

    Advice: The Cavaliers needed Mitchell to step up and deliver a superstar performance in Game 7 against a rising Orlando team, and that's exactly what he accomplished with this outing. Mitchell had some ups and downs in the series but often stepped his game up when the Cavaliers needed him, something that will be even more noticeable against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Mitchell averaged 28.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the first round while putting up at least 28 points in each of the last three contests. Rotowire.com Today, 5:36 am
  • Awful shooting in playoff exit
    Suggs closed Sunday's 106-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 10 points (2-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 40 minutes.

    Advice: Suggs didn't have a good series against the Cavaliers and failed to operate as the third scoring option the Magic desperately needed at times. He reached the 15-point mark in just two of the seven games and averaged 14.7 points on a mere 40.2 percent mark from the floor. Despite the playoff woes, Suggs' role as a starter for the Magic next season shouldn't be in question. Rotowire.com Today, 5:12 am
