  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Good to go Sunday

    Robinson (illness) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pistons, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

    Robinson will shake off a questionable tag due to an illness and suit up Sunday. The 27-year-old big man has averaged 2.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks across 18.0 minutes per game over three outings in the first round.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Game-time call Sunday

    Robinson (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pistons, will be a game-time decision, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Robinson was unable to practice Saturday due to the illness, though head coach Tom Thibodeau said Saturday that the big man should be fine for Game 4, per Ian Begley of SportsNet New York. If the 27-year-old is sidelined Sunday, Precious Achiuwa will likely see an uptick in playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Idle in final two playoff games

    Bagley did not play in Game 3 or Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Thunder.

    Bagley saw extended playing time in a Game 1 blowout, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, two steals and one block over 16 minutes, but he proceeded to record only one rebound over 11 minutes in Game 2. Bagley started the regular season with the Wizards but was traded to the Grizzlies in early February. He appeared in just 12 regular-season games (one start) for Memphis due to an ankle injury and concussion, averaging 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds over 8.3 minutes. The 2018 first-round pick out of Duke will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

    Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Sees floor in elimination game

    Huff had one rebound, one assist and one block across six minutes during Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Huff saw the floor in Saturday's elimination game loss after receiving two DNPs via a coach's decision in the club's last two outings. The big man appeared in two games during the first-round series, totaling eight points, three rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 18 minutes. Huff carved out a fairly inconsistent role off the bench in the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 assists across 11.7 minutes per contest in 64 regular-season games (two starts).

  • Zach Edey C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Sets franchise record at rim

    Edey posted eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and seven blocks over 33 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    It's the most blocks ever in a single playoff game by a Grizzlies rookie, and just two off the NBA rookie record set by Manute Bol in 1986. Edey had a strong finish to the regular season on the glass, averaging 10.6 points, 15.3 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over his first eight contests in April, and his defensive performance Saturday with the team's season on the line offers plenty of hope that he could take a big step forward as a sophomore in 2025-26.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Double-double in Saturday's win

    Hartenstein provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-115 victory over Memphis in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    It was the first double-double of the playoffs for Hartenstein, as the Thunder completed the sweep of the Grizzlies. The 26-year-old center hasn't played more than 27 minutes in a game yet this postseason, limiting his fantasy appeal, and he managed only one block across the four games against Memphis. Hartenstein may need to provide a bigger defensive presence in the second round as OKC awaits the winner of the Nuggets-Clippers series, which is tied 2-2 heading into Game 5 on Tuesday.

  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Drops team-high 22 in lopsided loss

    Adebayo contributed 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Saturday's 124-87 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    The 27-year-old big led the Heat in scoring and rebounding, but he didn't get much help in the rout -- Davion Mitchell was the only other Miami player to score more than 13 points. Adebayo has been the one reliable option for the team to begin the playoffs, averaging 19.0 points, 10.7 boards, 4.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals through three games, but the Heat are still staring at the possibility of getting swept on their home court heading into Game 4 on Monday.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Leads way with double-double

    Allen racked up 22 points (8-9 FG, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Saturday's 124-87 victory over Miami in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    The 27-year-old center led the Cavs in points and boards in the rout as he recorded his second double-double in three games to begin the playoffs. Allen hasn't had much trouble handling Miami's two-tower frontcourt of Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo so far, and with Darius Garland (toe) nursing an injury, he could be leaned on again as Cleveland looks to complete to sweep in Game 4 on Monday.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Double-double in Game 3 loss

    Sengun amassed 15 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Sengun finished Saturday's game as the Rockets' leading rebounder and second in points behind Fred VanVleet (17). It was Sengun's second-straight double-double, though he missed all but one of his attempts from the charity stripe. He has averaged 19.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.4 minutes over the first three games of the series.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Dominates in Game 4 win

    Jokic totaled 36 points (14-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 21 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 101-99 victory over the Clippers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Jokic played with a purpose, narrowly getting the Nuggets over the line to level the series with the Clippers. Although he fell short of another triple-double, it was Jokic who did the bulk of the scoring, while adding a series-high 21 rebounds. The two teams will now head back to Denver for what promises to be a pivotal Game 5, with both teams likely feeling confident.
