Allen finished with 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and six steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 138-83 victory over Miami in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Allen did all of his work in 25 minutes, with the Cavaliers pulling away with this game super early. His career-high mark for steals in the regular season is five, but he managed to best that mark Monday. With the Cavaliers moving on to the next round, Allen currently holds postseason averages of 14.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 blocks and 2.5 steals.

Adebayo finished with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Adebayo may have finished with his second double-double in this first-round series Monday, but it was nowhere near enough to keep his team from being eliminated in a four-game sweep. The Kentucky product's season comes to an end, averaging a double-double against Cleveland, with 17.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 43.8 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep.

Sengun totaled a game-high 31 points (12-28 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 109-106 loss to the Warriors in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

It was Sengun's best scoring performance so far this postseason, but it wasn't enough to stop a second-half comeback from Golden State. The fourth-year center is averaging 22.3 points, 11.5 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals through the first four games of the series, and Sengun may need to come up big again in Game 5 on Wednesday if the Rockets are going to avoid elimination.

Ware closed with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 15 minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Ware barely troubled the statisticians in terms of the scoring column, ending what has been a serviceable rookie campaign. Initially out of the rotation altogether, Ware eventually moved into a meaningful role, flashing some upside on both sides of the court. He is an intriguing prospect and one of the few positives to come out of the season for Miami.

Adams (illness) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Adams was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, though he'll suit up as the Rockets attempt to even the series at two games apiece. The veteran big man has averaged 5.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 18.0 minutes per game in three first-round appearances.

Landale (knee) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Landale will return to game action after missing the first three outings of the Rockets' first-round series against the Warriors due to a right knee contusion. The big man isn't guaranteed playing time, though he could step into the rotation if Steven Adams (illness) is ruled out.

Adams is now questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors due to an illness.

Adams was added to the team's injury report about 90 minutes before tipoff. The team will presumably wait to see if he can make it through pregame warmups before making a final determination on his availability for Monday night's matchup.

Reid contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Rudy Gobert hasn't been much of a factor in this series, but Reid has had plenty of success despite some foul trouble in his previous two games. Overall, Reid averages 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 55.9 percent shooting from the field and 52.4 percent from beyond the arc through four games.

Gobert ended Sunday's 116-113 win over the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with five points (1-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes.

Although he couldn't get anything to fall offensively, this was one of Gobert's best games of the postseason, which isn't saying much. With the Lakers using a lot of small-ball lineups, Gobert continues to be played off the floor. Through four games, Gobert is shooting 30.8 percent from the field with 3.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes per game.

Hayes accumulated two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Hayes had a brutal start, picking up a couple of quick fouls and a technical. He never saw the floor after that, with coach J.J. Redick opting to go with a smaller lineup with Dorian Finney-Smith playing the entire second half. A lineup change could be brewing for Game 5 with the season on the line for the Lakers.
