Player Notes

  • Strong from deep in Game 4 defeat
    Oubre ended Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.

    Advice: Oubre had another strong offensive outing for Philadelphia in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Oubre has been a nice third option for the 76ers in the first-round series behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, tallying at least 15 points in two of the four games and surpassing the double-digit mark in three outings.

  • Balanced outing in double-double
    Anunoby produced 16 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks over 47 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Anunoby put forth a well-rounded performance to help New York take a commanding 3-1 lead over Philadelphia, finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounds en route to a double-double performance. Anunoby, who also recorded a team-high-tying trio of blocks, recorded his first double-double of the postseason while posting his fourth consecutive game in double figures in scoring.

  • Owns glass despite shooting woes
    Hart racked up four points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 46 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 victory over Philadelphia in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Hart dominated Game 4 on the glass, leading all players in the contest in rebounds to go along with a handful of assists despite not making any shots from the field in a winning effort. Hart, who ended three boards shy of the 20-rebound mark, became the first player in NBA playoff history to have over 15 rebounds and five assists while not converting on a shot from the field. Hart has impressed on the glass this postseason, hauling in 13 or more boards in three straight outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:44 pm
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) sidelined Sunday vs. MIN
    Grayson Allen will be sidelined for Sunday’s matchup with the Timberwolves on Sunday.

    Advice: Allen’s absence comes with particularly poor timing, as the Suns are in danger of being swept in Game 4 after falling behind 3-0 in the first-round series against the Wolves. Royce O’Neale and Eric Gordon should see extra minutes with Allen sidelined. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:05 pm
  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:48 pm

  • Probable for Game 5
    James (ankle) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy ahead of Game 5, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again. Over the first four matchups in the series, he's averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 40.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:45 pm
  • Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) will not return Sunday
    Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) will not return to Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Already dealing with a left wrist injury, Bogdanovic was in the game for seconds before Nicolas Batum collided with his left leg while diving for a loose ball. As a result, Bogdanovic will not play again on Sunday afternoon. Miles McBride will play more minutes off the bench as the Knicks look to manage being without three rotation players due to injury.

  • Will start sans Leonard
    Coffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 am
  • Downgraded to out
    Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

    Advice: As expected, Hardaway has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to a right ankle sprain. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for increased roles, while Jaden Hardy may crack the postseason rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 am
