    Nuggets' PJ Hall: Used sparingly in 2024-25 campaign

    Hall finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 1.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 0.2 blocks across 3.5 minutes per game in 19 regular-season outings.

    Hall never logged double-digit minutes in a game during his rookie campaign after joining the Nuggets on a two-way contract. The Clemson product spent the majority of his time with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold, averaging 18.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals across 32.0 minutes per game in 20 regular-season appearances. The 23-year-old big man is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason.

  • Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Career-low 3.7 PPG in 2024-25

    Jordan finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals across 12.3 minutes per game in 56 regular-season outings (five starts).

    The veteran big man received inconsistent run as Nikola Jokic's backup this season. Jordan appeared in six of the Nuggets' seven games during their first-round series win over the Clippers but made only one appearance during the second round, logging just two minutes. The 36-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll likely be tabbed for a role providing depth and serving as a veteran presence at this stage of his career.

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-doubles with full stat line

    Holmgren accumulated 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 win over the Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    It was Holmgren's fifth double-double of the series, and he provided a full stat line for a third consecutive outing. The star big man has been an integral component of Oklahoma City's playoff run on both ends of the floor, having averaged 15.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 0.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes across 11 postseason contests. Holmgren will be tasked with trying to slow down Julius Randle in the Western Conference Finals, and he'll also be contending with Rudy Gobert's standout defense throughout the series.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Flirts with triple-double in Game 7

    Jokic registered 20 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Jokic led the team in points and assists while flirting with a triple-double, but it wasn't enough to lift the Nuggets to a Game 7 victory. The MVP candidate still put together an exceptional run this postseason, averaging 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 40.2 minutes over 14 playoff games. After another prolific campaign, Jokic is set to be one of the top players off the board in all fantasy formats in 2025-26.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Goes for 21 and 12 in Game 6 win

    Towns finished Friday's 119-81 victory over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.

    Towns dominated the undermanned Celtics, racking up his seventh double-double in the past eight games. Although his scoring average has come down during the playoffs, his importance to this team is non-negotiable. After averaging 23.8 points per game during the regular season, that number has dropped to 19.8 across 12 postseason games. The Knicks will now face the Pacers in what promises to be a spicy matchup, with both teams looking to advance to the big dance.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Celtics' Al Horford: Empty performance Friday

    Horford posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 27 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Horford didn't have a tangible impact, going down with the ship as Boston was bundled out of the playoffs. Tasked with playing a bigger role than expected during the postseason due to the fact that Kristaps Porzingis was dealing with an ongoing illness, Horford had some moments but was largely a wash, at best. He played 60 games during the regular season, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 27.6 minutes per game.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Celtics' Luke Kornet: Muted performance in loss

    Kornet chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Kornet drew the start in place of Kristaps Porzingis, who has been battling an illness for quite a while. Unlike his heroic Game 5, however, Kornet wasn't able to produce an encore performance in the blowout loss. Kornet, who is set to become a free agent, should draw considerable interest this offseason. During the regular season, Kornet appeared in 73 games and averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.6 minutes.

  • Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Sees 11 minutes in Game 6

    Porzingis closed Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.

    Throughout the postseason, and especially in this series, it's been very evident that Porzingis is far from 100 percent. The franchise will be hopeful that he can recover his health over the long offseason. Although he had his fair share of injuries in the regular season, Porzingis was terrific when healthy, as he averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 42 regular-season contests.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Sees 14 minutes in Game 6

    Robinson racked up one point (1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Friday's 119-81 win over Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    While his box score won't reflect it, Robinson was a menace on the defensive end Friday. The Knicks are essentially using an eight-man rotation in the playoffs, and that's likely to be the case against Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals. In 12 postseason games, Robinson holds averages of 4.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 18.5 minutes.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Plays eight minutes in loss

    Tillman closed Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in eight minutes.

    Tillman made his first appearance of the postseason Friday with the Celtics getting run out of the building. Playing in his second season with Boston, Tillman was used very sparingly, as he appeared in 33 regular-season contests and averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.0 minutes. Tillman is owed $2.5 million in 2025-26 for the final year of his deal.
