    Chris Finch said that it is “highly unlikely” that any of the players that clear protocols will play tonight, due to their lack of conditioning, per Dane Moore.
    The NBA injury report currently has all nine Minnesota players that were in league protocols listed as available, but it looks like even if they’re cleared, we won’t be seeing the return of many players tonight.

  • OKC Point Guard #2
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 14 points (4-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 3 loss to the Timberwolves.
    Gilgeous-Alexander turned in his lowest-scoring performance of the entire season in this one. It was the lowest point total for the 26-year-old point guard since last March. He scored more than twice as many points in each of the first two games of the series. SGA was wearing a microphone for ESPN’s coverage of the game and could be heard on the bench in the fourth quarter saying they had a great game and we had a bad game. That might be putting it mildly as the Thunder lost Game 3 by a staggering 42 points. SGA and the Thunder will be looking to play better and take it from there in Game 4 on Monday.
    Brunson, Nesmith worth betting looks in Game 2
    Vaughn Dalzell and Brad Thomas give their favorite player props for Game 2 of the Knicks vs. Pacers NBA Playoffs series, with Jalen Brunson and Aaron Nesmith offering some intrigue.
  • MIN Shooting Guard #00
    Terrence Shannon Jr. had 15 points (5-of-8 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Game 3 against the Thunder on Saturday.
    Shannon Jr. hadn’t played more than three minutes in another other playoff game this year, but the 24-year-old shooting guard provided a spark off the bench as the Timberwolves took a 31-point lead into halftime. Shannon Jr. also got some run in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach, but it was a great story to see the inexperienced player outscore MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Saturday.
  • MIN Power Forward #30
    Julius Randle had 24 points (9-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Game 3 against the Thunder on Saturday.
    Randle was benched for the entire fourth quarter of Game 2, but bounced back and was a big part of the Timberwolves getting back in the series in Game 3. The 30-year-old power forward was a scoring machine with 24 points on 15 shots including two made three-pointers. Randle didn’t play most of the fourth quarter in Game 3 either, though it was due to the lopsided score and the fact that the Thunder had already pulled their starters. Despite the Game 3 fourth quarter benching, Randle was back as Robin to Anthony Edwards’ Batman in Game 3.
  • MIN Shooting Guard #5
    Anthony Edwards had 30 points (12-of-17 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and five three-pointers on Saturday in the Timberwolves’ 143-101 Game 3 victory over the Thunder.
    Edwards was locked in from the jump in a must-win situation in a pivotal Game 3 showdown. The 23-year-old shooting guard outscored the entire Thunder team by himself (16-14) in the first quarter. The route was on from there as the Timberwolves took a 31-point lead into halftime and ended up winning by 42. Edwards joined Kobe Bryant and Luka Doncic as the only guards with at least 15 30-point playoff games before turning 24. Edwards and the Timberwolves will look to even the series in Game 4 on Monday.
  • NYK Center #23
    Ian Begley of SNY reports the Knicks are “strongly considering” starting Mitchell Robinson ahead of Josh Hart against the Pacers in Game 3 on Sunday.
    This isn’t a total surprise after Hart played 29 minutes in Game 2, which was the first time he played less than 30 minutes in these playoffs. Robinson, who has been lauded by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle in interviews throughout the series, played 29 minutes in Game 2 as well, though it was the most minutes he’s played this postseason. Robinson appeared to roll his ankle in the third quarter of Game 2, but must be feeling well if the Knicks are considering starting him now. The Knicks’ starting lineup is -50 in the playoffs and -29 so far in the Eastern Conference Finals. New York is a desperate team heading into Game 3 on Sunday after dropping the first two games of the series at home and coach Tom Thibodeau is searching for answers.
  • NYK Center #23
    Mitchell Robinson (ankle) recorded a line of six points (2-of-3 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds and three blocked shots in Friday’s Game 2 loss to the Pacers.
    Robinson gave the Knicks a welcome boost during the first half of Game 2, extending multiple possessions due to his work on the offensive glass. He also recorded a few blocked shots, but New York’s many defensive lapses during the second half were too much to overcome. Also concerning for the Knicks was Robinson appearing to roll his left ankle during the third quarter. The good news is that he stayed in the game, and this was not the ankle operated on twice last season. Given the lack of consistent bench production, New York will need Robinson to be at his best for Game 3 on Sunday, especially now that they’re in a 0-2 hole.
  • NYK Power Forward #32
    Karl-Anthony Towns shot 6-of-14 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Friday’s Game 2 loss to the Pacers, scoring 20 points with seven rebounds and two three-pointers.
    After recording a gaudy stat line in Wednesday’s overtime defeat, Towns was less effective in Game 2. Making matters worse for the Knicks were multiple defensive lapses during the third quarter, prompting Tom Thibodeau to go with Mitchell Robinson as the lone big on the court for a stretch that extended well into the fourth quarter. Despite his performance against Nikola Jokic in last season’s Western Conference Finals, Towns has never been labeled a lockdown defender. That said, the Knicks need him to be better than he was in Game 3 on Sunday, as they trail two games to none.
  • NYK Small Forward #25
    Mikal Bridges recorded 20 points (9-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s Game 2 loss to the Pacers.
    As Tyrese Haliburton’s primary defender, Bridges has been asked to log heavy minutes in the Eastern Conference Finals. After playing 46 minutes in Game 1, he played another 45 on Friday, proving to be New York’s second-best offensive option. Once again, Bridges got going after halftime, shooting 8-of-13 from the field in the second half. With New York heading into Sunday’s Game 3 trailing two games to none, Bridges’ playing time is unlikely to decrease, especially with Josh Hart (6/6/1/1/1 in 29 minutes) not providing much offense.
  • NYK Point Guard #11
    Jalen Brunson finished Friday’s Game 2 loss to the Pacers with 36 points (13-of-27 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and five three-pointers.
    Brunson did what he could to drag the Knicks over the finish line in Game 2, but Indiana’s offensive production was too much to overcome. The point guard did make franchise history, however, notching his 19th 30-point playoff game as a Knick. Brunson is now atop the list, passing Patrick Ewing (18 postseason 30-point games) with Friday’s performance. Regardless of who the Pacers have assigned to Brunson, he’s managed to get his points, and the turnovers were kept in check after he racked up seven in Game 1. New York will need Brunson to be at his best for Sunday’s Game 3, as they head to Indianapolis in a 0-2 hole.
  • IND Center #33
    Myles Turner tallied 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Friday’s Game 2 win over the Knicks.
    Turner has struggled with rebounding thus far. That said, he recorded complete stat lines in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, which the Pacers lead two games to none. Turner played 33 minutes on Friday, and the gap between him and New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns from a production standpoint was far smaller than in Wednesday’s series opener. Turner and the Pacers will look to take a 3-0 lead when they host Game 3 on Sunday night.
