  • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
    Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

    Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:24 pm
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 33 points
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points (13-of-19 FGs) and shot all four of his shots at the foul line in the Thunder’s Wednesday win over the Pelicans. He also tallied three rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers.

    Advice: SGA led all scorers for a second straight contest. OKC’s star point guard also led his team in steals in a well-rounded performance. He’ll look to continue his strong run on the road for Game 3. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:10 pm
  • Surpasses 30 points in Game 2 loss
    Brown finished with 33 points (13-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

    Advice: Brown led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three and hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance in a losing effort. Brown bounced back well after posting a modest 17 points in Sunday's Game 1 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:55 pm
  • Boosts offense in loss
    White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

    Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the first round, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:54 pm
  • Leads offensively in double-double
    Herro posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

    Advice: Herro stepped up big for Miami in a bounce-back win in Game 2, leading all players in the contest in threes made and assists while leading all Heat players in scoring in an impressive outing. Herro set a season high in assists for any Miami player this year, and he tied the second-most dimes by a Heat player in a playoff game in team history. Miami will need Herro to continue to step up offensively, especially with Jimmy Butler (knee) inactive. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:45 pm
  • Strong from deep in 21-point outing
    Martin ended with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

    Advice: Martin had a breakout performance in Wednesday's bounce-back victory, earning his second straight start to begin the series against the Celtics. Martin connected on a handful of threes while ending as one of three Heat players with 20 or more points, a mark he surpassed on four occasions during the regular season. Martin responded well after scoring four points in Game 1, and Miami will look for him to continue to help boost the offense in Game 3 and beyond. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:44 pm
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Lakers-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Reddish is still battling back from an ankle sprain and is set to miss a sixth consecutive game. Taurean Prince will likely continue to dominate the Lakers’ reserve wing minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:39 pm

  • Won't play Thursday
    Jerome (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Game 3 versus the Magic on Thursday.

    Advice: Jerome is still recovering from ankle surgery and hasn't played since Oct. 27. Even if he's cleared to suit up during the postseason, he's unlikely to crack the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm

  • Good to go for Game 3
    Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
