Robinson provided four points (2-2 FG), eight rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Monday's 121-113 win over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Robinson and Miles McBride are the only reserves to see ample playing time in the postseason, and that could remain the case for the foreseeable future. In 10 postseason games, Robinson averages 4.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 18.6 minutes.

Horford ended Monday's 121-113 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

Jayson Tatum suffered an apparent right lower-leg injury and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, so the odds are stacked against Boston with the franchise facing a 3-1 series deficit. If Tatum cannot play in Game 5, Horford would likely need to soak up some usage for the Celtics after attempting a mere two shots in Game 4.

Porzingis racked up seven points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Porzingis has played off the bench in the Celtics' last three games and had another dismal showing against his former team, failing to reach double-digit points for the fourth time in four games in the series. The Celtics need more from Porzingis, especially if Jayson Tatum (lower leg) ends up missing time after departing Monday's game with an injury. Porzingis is averaging 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in the series.

Towns accumulated 23 points (11-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 121-113 win over Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks with an outstanding performance, but Towns was the team's second-best player due to his impressive two-way impact. The star big man has recorded six straight double-doubles in the playoffs and is averaging 19.8 points and 14.0 rebounds per game in the series against Boston.

Reid recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 117-110 victory over the Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Despite a 3-1 series lead for Minnesota, Reid has yet to find much of a rhythm against the Warriors outside of a productive Game 1. Reid is averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 53.1 percent from the field in 28.3 minutes per contest.

Looney contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Trayce Jackson-Davis had another quiet showing with the starters, while Looney nearly double-doubled in 14 minutes, doing most of his damage in the first half. However, Looney has been quiet in the playoffs, averaging 2.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 10.4 minutes across 11 appearances.

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.
