  • Player Notes
    Devin Booker Mon Apr 29 9:10am

    Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker set a new playoff career high with 49 points in Sunday's Game 4 loss to Minnesota. The four-time All-Star shot 13-for-21 from the field with a 3-for-5 record from deep and hit 20 of his 21 free throws, but the Suns couldn't stay alive in the series despite Booker's monster effort. Booker, who also posted five rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block on Sunday, is now 0-4 for his career in elimination games. He had previously averaged only 14.0 points in elimination games, so Booker took a major step forward from a personal perspective, but the Suns as a team seem stuck in the same place. Since reaching the Finals in 2021, Phoenix has won only two playoff series, going 10-13 in the postseason.

    Karl-Anthony Towns Mon Apr 29 9:00am

    Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns played a big part in Sunday's Game 4 victory over Phoenix with 28 points and 10 rebounds. He was a major threat all over the place, nailing four of his six attempts from deep and shooting 11-for-17 overall. He also handed out three assists. Towns finished the series with back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 19.3 points and 9.5 rebounds overall. He hit a very impressive 9-for-17 from outside in four games and will be a massive headache for the next opponent if he keeps this up. The Timberwolves are the first team to qualify for the second round and will meet either Denver or the Lakers next.

    Anthony Edwards Mon Apr 29 8:50am

    Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards went for a team-high 40 points as his squad completed a first-round sweep against Phoenix on Sunday with a 122-116 win. Edwards exploded after being limited to nine points in the first half, shooting 13-for-23 from the field and hitting 7-for-13 from downtown. Minnesota's young superstar also collected nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two blocks, breaking a tie with Kevin Garnett for most 30-point playoff games in franchise history. In fact, Edwards has now scored 30-plus points in over half of his 15 postseason appearances. He finished the series against the Suns with a 31-point scoring average.

    Jarred Vanderbilt Mon Apr 29 8:40am

    Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's Game 5 against Denver. He's been out since Feb. 1 with a mid-foot sprain. After missing the start of the season, Vanderbilt featured in only 29 regular-season contests, averaging 5.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across 20.0 minutes. He'll be a good addition to the rotation if he plays on Monday, although it's unlikely Vanderbilt will be ready to carry a full workload. The Lakers didn't use Christian Wood at all in Game 4 after he was cleared to return to the lineup after a lengthy absence.

    Delon Wright Mon Apr 29 8:40am

    Miami Heat point guard Delon Wright (personal) appears ready to return to the lineup on Monday versus Boston, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Wright missed Game 3 of the series for personal reasons. He started the playoffs with a big 17-point performance but settled for only five points in Game 2. Terry Rozier's (neck) absence has given Wright an opportunity to average 23.0 minutes per game in the postseason, and he should play a significant part in the rotation again on Monday. However, his inconsistency makes Wright a risky option for DFS managers.

    Terry Rozier Mon Apr 29 8:30am

    Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (neck) will remain absent for Game 4 against Boston on Monday. The former Celtic is struggling to overcome neck spasms, which have already sidelined him for nine games. Tyler Herro has taken over a lot of the playmaking duties without Rozier and will continue to lead the charge on Monday. The Heat backcourt is expected to get some help as well, with Delon Wright (personal) on the cusp of returning to the lineup.

    Khris Middleton Sun Apr 28 9:10pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) finished with 25 points in Sunday's loss to Indiana. He added 10 boards, five assists, and one steal. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) were ruled out heading into the contest. However, Bobby Portis got ejected after a physical confrontation with Andrew Nembhard, although Middleton couldn't lead his team to a win. Unfortunately, the veteran has had issues with both ankles during this series, so he'll likely appear on the injury report for Game 5 on Tuesday. But with Milwaukee hoping to avoid elimination, Middleton should be out there, although he likely won't be fully healthy.

    Pascal Siakam Sun Apr 28 9:00pm

    Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam flirted with a triple-double in Sunday's win over Milwaukee, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. He also got after it defensively, adding two steals and one block. Although the former Raptor was more productive in the series' first two games, he's a big reason Indiana is one game away from advancing to the next round. With that in mind, DFS managers should remember him for Game 5 on Tuesday night.

    Tyrese Haliburton Sun Apr 28 9:00pm

    Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton finished with 24 points in Sunday's win over the Bucks. He added four rebounds, four assists, and one steal. The former King popped up on the injury report shortly before the start of the contest because of back spasms. However, he was at least healthy enough to lead his team to another victory. Haliburton could appear on the injury report again heading into Game 5 on Tuesday. But with Indy looking to finish off the series, he should be out there.

    Myles Turner Sun Apr 28 8:50pm

    Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner had a game-high 29 points in Sunday's playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. He was locked in from deep, going 7-for-9, adding nine rebounds and three blocks. The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), and with Bobby Portis getting ejected, Turner took advantage to finish with one of the best games of his career. The 28-year-old has been rolling, so he'll be a favorite DFS option for Game 5 on Tuesday, with the Pacers hoping to finish the series.

    Jamal Murray Sun Apr 28 6:50pm

    Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Lakers. He has a left calf strain, which could explain his struggles in Saturday's loss to the Lakers. While the 27-year-old still finished that one with 22 points, he had trouble shooting the ball, going 9-for-23 from the field and 0-for-4 from deep. It's hard to imagine Murray will miss Game 5. However, the ailment could continue to be an issue and limit his DFS potential.

    Luka Doncic Sun Apr 28 6:50pm

    Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic had a triple-double in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. He struggled shooting the ball, going 10-for-24 from the field and 1-for-9 from deep. However, he still finished with 29 points, adding 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and one block. The Clippers didn't have Kawhi Leonard (knee) for this one, with his absence potentially extending through the rest of the series. Unfortunately, Dallas couldn't take advantage, so the series will head back to Los Angeles knotted at two games a piece. As always, DFS managers should expect Doncic to remain a top performer.

    Bobby Portis Sun Apr 28 6:40pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was ejected in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Pacers. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) weren't available for this contest, so Portis was expected to play a pivotal role offensively. However, after receiving two technicals for a physical confrontation with Andrew Nembhard, his night is over. Portis will finish with four points and three rebounds, with AJ Green, Andre Jackson Jr., and Pat Connaughton expected to see more action for the shorthanded Bucks.

    Kyrie Irving Sun Apr 28 6:30pm

    Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving scored a team-high 40 points in Sunday's postseason contest versus the Clippers. However, it wasn't enough, as Los Angeles took the win to tie the series at two games each. In all fairness, Irving can't take any of the blame, considering he had his best showing of the postseason. DFS managers should expect his rostering cost to increase for Game 5 after his strong effort in Game 4. But he will likely have a difficult time staying as productive.

    James Harden Sun Apr 28 6:30pm

    Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden tied with Paul George to finish with a team-high 33 points in Sunday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. The multi-time All-Star played well in the series' first three games, so he kept it going to help lead his club to a much-needed win. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) uncertain for the remainder of the series, Harden will see as many minutes as possible for Game 5. He'll also remain a pivotal component of the offense, something DFS managers should keep in mind.

    Paul George Sun Apr 28 6:20pm

    Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George tied with James Harden for a team-high 33 points in Sunday's win over the Mavericks. He struggled in Game 3, ending the night with just seven points. But without Kawhi Leonard (knee) on the floor for Game 4, George did all he could to help his team knot the series at two games each. It will be tough for the 33-year-old to remain as productive in Game 5. However, assuming Leonard isn't available for that contest, George should remain one of the Clippers' top performers.

    Joel Embiid Sun Apr 28 3:30pm

    Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was available for Sunday's postseason meeting with the Knicks. Last season's MVP amassed a game-high 50 points in Game 3. However, he cooled off on the scoring end in this one, finishing with 27 points, adding 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks. Embiid looked good again, which is more impressive considering he's still battling a left knee issue. With that in mind, the Sixers are one game away from elimination, so Embiid should remain involved heavily in Game 5 on Tuesday night.

    Jalen Brunson Sun Apr 28 3:20pm

    New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson scored 47 points in Sunday's win over the 76ers. He added 10 assists, four rebounds, and one block. Brunson made history in Game 4, breaking a franchise record for most points in a postseason contest. While he still struggled shooting the ball from deep, his percentage from the field was his best of the series. The 27-year-old is firing on all cylinders, so he'll look to help his squad close out the series at MSG on Tuesday night.

    Bojan Bogdanovic Sun Apr 28 1:50pm

    New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) won't return to Sunday's playoff meeting with the 76ers. According to multiple reports on Sunday morning, the veteran sharpshooter has torn ligaments in his left wrist and could need surgery during the offseason. However, he wants to continue playing until the end of the postseason, although he suffered a left ankle contusion in Game 4 while diving for the ball. Bogdanovic has averaged 8.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in the series versus Philadelphia. But the Knicks are down Julius Randle (shoulder) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle), so Bogdanovic could have gotten more involved. DFS managers should expect to see him on the injury report ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. If he doesn't play, Precious Achiuwa could get a few extra minutes.

    Kawhi Leonard Sun Apr 28 1:30pm

    Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Mavs. Leonard has been dealing with inflammation in his right knee for a while. Although he managed to return for Game 2, he logged only 25 minutes in Game 3, so it's apparent things aren't improving. As of now, the 32-year-old doesn't have a timetable for his return, meaning James Harden and Paul George will need to step it up for the Clippers to have a chance to win this series. Ivica Zubac, Norman Powell, and Russell Westbrook should also be more involved on the scoring end without Leonard on the floor moving ahead.
