    Celtics' Al Horford: Five blocks in Game 4 win

    Horford chipped in six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 35 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over Orlando in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Horford made an impact in Game 4 defensively, recording a game-high five blocks. Although the veteran big man isn't the same versatile player he once was earlier in his career, he can still make his presence felt on the court occasionally as an ideal role player for Boston, whether as a starter or off the bench.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Scoreless in nine minutes

    Robinson notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-4 FT) and three rebounds across nine minutes during Sunday's 94-93 win over the Pistons in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Robinson shook off a questionable tag prior to this contest due to an illness, but credit to him for pushing through. Coach Tom Thibodeau is relying heavily on his starting lineup in the postseason, so Robinson hasn't been very involved with 15.8 minutes across four contests.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Grabs team-high 11 boards

    Carter ended Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes.

    Carter made his presence felt in Game 4 by crashing the glass, leading his team in that category with 11. The veteran big man has recorded 11 or more rebounds in three of the last four games. The Duke product averaged 7.2 rebounds per game during the regular season, which is one of the lowest totals of his career.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Leads Indiana in victory

    Turner closed with 23 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-103 victory over the Bucks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Turner delivered a bounce-back performance in Game 4, helping the Pacers take a 3-1 series lead after shooting 1-for-9 from the field in Game 3. The big man led Indiana with a team-high mark in scoring and a game-best four blocks Sunday. Turner has recorded multiple swats in three of four first-round games thus far. He has averaged 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.0 assists across 29.5 minutes per game this series.

  • Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Improved performance Sunday

    Porzingis finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Despite battling foul trouble throughout the game, Porzingis turned in a much-improved performance, helping the Celtics to an important road victory. While it was good to see him active on the offensive end, it's fair to say Porzingis is still short of where he needs to be. Boston will hope he can build on this effort in what could be the series-clinching game on Tuesday.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Rockets' Jock Landale: Likely for Game 4

    Landale (knee) is probable for Monday's Game 4 matchup against the Warriors.

    Landale has not appeared in the first three postseason games due to a right knee injury, but he will likely be available for Monday's Game 4. Even if he is cleared to play, there's no guarantee he'll see the floor.

  • 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.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    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).
