Turner totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Turner was fantastic on both ends of the floor, despite scoring just 13 points. He and Tyrese Haliburton combined for nine defensive counters, paving the way for what some might consider an improbable victory over the favored Cavaliers. The two teams will meet Tuesday for Game 2, when the Pacers will have an opportunity to take a stranglehold on the series.

Sengun racked up 21 points (9-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-89 loss to the Warriors in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Sengun recorded his fifth double-double of this first-round series Sunday. The All-Star center was one of only three players on the Rockets to score in double figures, as Amen Thompson (24) and Fred VanVleet (17) were the only others to make an impact in the scoring department. The rising star's season ends after an impressive playoff performance over seven games, averaging 20.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while shooting 46.3 percent from the field.

Eubanks totaled one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) across seven minutes during Saturday's 120-101 loss to the Nuggets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Eubanks made his third appearance in the club's first-round series loss to the Nuggets on Saturday. He averaged 1.3 points across 4.7 minutes per game in the opening round. The big man was traded from Utah to Los Angeles on Feb. 1, where he saw a significant decline in playing time. Eubanks appeared in 61 regular-season games (four starts) during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 4.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 blocks across 12.2 minutes per game.

Zubac recorded 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 120-101 loss to the Nuggets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Zubac delivered a game-high mark in rebounds en route to his fourth double-double of the opening round, albeit in a losing effort. The big man was impressive in the Clippers' first-round series loss to the Nuggets, averaging 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 36.4 minutes per game. The 28-year-old had a career-best year during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 62.8 percent from the field across 32.8 minutes per contest in 80 regular-season appearances.

Jokic finished with 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block across 32 minutes in Saturday's 120-101 Game 7 win over the Clippers.

Jokic endured a slow start and went 0-for-5 in the first quarter, but he made six of his nine shots the rest of the way while also displaying his usual influence as a rebounder and passer. Jokic ended just two assists away from recording what would've been his fourth triple-double of the series, and the star big man stepped up when needed the most and carried the Nuggets to a series win. The Nuggets will now face the Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals, with Game 1 taking place Monday at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Landale (knee) is out for Game 7 against the Warriors on Sunday.

Landale has made just one appearance in the series, posting two points (1-2 FG) across five minutes in Game 5. Landale will aim to be available again at some point in the postseason if the Rockets advance past the Warriors. Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams will continue to handle the minutes at center.

Adams finished Friday's 115-107 victory over the Warriors in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 17 points (4-4 FG, 9-16 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes.

Adams played a major role in Friday's win, scoring a season-high 17 points off the bench. The veteran big man is averaging 6.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 68.8 percent from the field during the first-round series.

Sengun produced 21 points (8-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Sengun played a pivotal role in the Game 6 win on the road. He filled up the stat sheet and impacted both ends of the floor in a must-win scenario, crashing the glass for a game-high 14 rebounds. The series will shift back to Houston on Sunday for the deciding Game 7.

Reed racked up two points (2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across eight minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Despite playing only eight minutes, Reed picked up five fouls during Thursday's season-ending loss to the Knicks. With Isaiah Stewart (knee) missing the final five games of the series, Reed operated as the team's backup center to Jalen Duren. Across the 25-year-old big man's 45 regular-season appearances this season, Reed averaged 4.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 9.7 minutes.

Jokic ended Thursday's 111-105 loss to the Clippers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 25 points (11-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, three steals and one block in 42 minutes.

Jokic was productive during the club's Game 6 loss, though he failed to record a double-double for the first time in the opening round. The superstar still led the Nuggets in points, assists and steals, and he supplied multiple swipes for the fourth time during the series. Jokic and the Nuggets will look to advance with a Game 7 win on Saturday. He has averaged 25.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 2.2 steals across 41.3 minutes per game during the first round.
