Jackson-Davis ended Monday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

Making his second straight postseason start, Jackson-Davis again wasn't able to make much of an impact and saw another limited workload. Kevon Looney and Jonathan Kuminga both had standout performances off the bench, and with the Warriors facing a 3-1 deficit, rotation tweaks from coach Steve Kerr could be on the table.

Allen ended with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Allen was non-existent Sunday, delivering what was easily his worst performance of the postseason. He wasn't alone in that respect, adding to what was an embarrassing loss for Cleveland. Prior to the loss, Allen had been one of the more consistent producers, a level of play he'll need to quickly rediscover with Cleveland now facing elimination at home in Tuesday's Game 5.

Turner notched 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Turner helped set the tone for the Pacers in Game 4, scoring 20 points in 22 minutes and finishing with a game-high seven rebounds. The veteran big man is enjoying a productive postseason, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.6 blocks per game across the eight contests prior to Sunday's win.

Jokic closed Sunday's 92-87 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 27 points (7-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and four steals in 43 minutes.

Jokic's shooting struggles continued in Game 4, but he still made an impact on the floor in other areas, especially on the defensive end with a game-high four swipes. Throughout the last 10 games in the playoffs prior to Sunday's loss, Jokic had averaged 24.7 points, 12.8 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 47.0 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from deep.

Holmgren ended with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes during Sunday's 92-87 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Holmgren came off back-to-back impressive performances in Game 2 and Game 3 but couldn't get it going offensively in Game 4, as he failed to crack double digits. However, the Gonzaga product partly atoned by ripping down 13 rebounds in Sunday's win, the second-best total on the team behind Isaiah Hartenstein (14).

Hartenstein ended Sunday's 92-87 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.

Hartenstein made his presence felt on the glass in Game 4 along with Chet Holmgren, with the duo combining for 27 rebounds Sunday. Hartenstein has failed to crack double digits in rebounding only twice during these NBA playoffs, averaging 8.9 per game.

Horford logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Horford recorded his highest point total since March 31 in the victory, tying the team-high mark in rebounds as well. The veteran big man also chipped in multiple blocks for the third time over eight playoff appearances. Horford has averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals across 32.7 minutes per game in three second-round appearances (two starts).

Towns finished with 21 points (5-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT) and 15 rebounds across 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Towns had a rough shooting performance, as evidenced by the fact that he needed 18 shots to score 21 points, but at least he extended his streak of double-doubles to five games. Towns is averaging 18.7 points and 15.0 boards per game in the series, and while Saturday wasn't his finest outing, he should remain one of the Knicks' go-to offensive weapons throughout the rest of this matchup against Boston.

Jackson-Davis is in the starting lineup for Saturday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jackson-Davis logged 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Thursday's 117-93 loss in Game 2. The big man looked far more comfortable at center compared to Quinten Post, and he has been rewarded by getting the starting nod in this contest.

Turner supplied 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 126-104 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Turner was limited to just seven shots and scored nearly half of his total point haul from the free-throw line, but overall, his impact was limited. The big man had to exit the game briefly in the third quarter due to an apparent injury, but Turner didn't show effects of being injured or limited down the stretch, so he shouldn't be in danger of missing Game 4 on Sunday. Turner has scored at least 15 points in four of his last five playoff appearances, but he's recorded just one double-double over that stretch.
