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.

Allen produced 19 points (6-11 FG, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Friday's 126-104 victory over the Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Allen recorded a double-double for the fourth time over his last five playoff appearances, and the star big man continues to make a sizable impact on both ends of the court for Cleveland. With five double-doubles in seven playoff outings so far, Allen's two-way play will be huge for the Cavaliers in their quest to even the series Sunday.

Turner (foot) has checked back into Friday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Turner exited the game after a fall due to an apparent foot injury, but he returned quickly and checked back into the game only a few minutes after departing. The big man should handle his regular workload in the frontcourt if he stays healthy.

Turner suffered a hard fall and went straight to the locker room during the third quarter of Friday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Turner was seen limping once he got off the court, and it seemed as if he was unable to put any weight on one of his feet. This is certainly concerning, as Turner has been one of the best players for Indiana in the playoffs. If he doesn't return, Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin would be in line to see more minutes in the frontcourt alongside Pascal Siakam.

Gobert ended Thursday's 117-93 victory over the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with five points (2-4 FG, 1-4 FT) and nine rebounds in 27 minutes.

After coming one point shy of a double-double in Game 1, Gobert couldn't get it going offensively in Game 2, as he was the lowest-scoring starter for Minnesota on Thursday. The veteran big man is averaging 7.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in this second-round series, shooting 54.5 percent from the field.
