Edey notched nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Edey recorded single-digit points for the third consecutive game, though he was efficient during Thursday's loss. The rookie big man is averaging 5.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor across 25.3 minutes per game during the first round. Edey and the Grizzlies will look to avoid elimination during Saturday's Game 4 in Memphis.

Holmgren notched 24 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and eight rebounds over 32 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Grizzlies in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Holmgren led the Thunder in rebounds and finished as the club's third-leading scorer Thursday. The big man shot 0-for-4 in the first half, though he scored 23 of his 24 points in the second -- including 16 in the third quarter. He's averaging 21.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.7 three-pointers and 2.3 blocks across 28.7 minutes per game during the first round.

Reed posted four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The big man tied the team-high mark in rebounds while playing double-digit minutes for the second consecutive game due to Isaiah Stewart (knee) being sidelined. Reed is averaging 5.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 13.5 minutes per game in two appearances during the first round.

Duren finished with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Duren logged his highest-scoring outing of the series during an efficient performance Thursday. The big man has also racked up at least eight rebounds in each of his last two appearances, though he failed to record a block for the first time this series Thursday. He's averaging 11.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks across 31.3 minutes per game during the first round.

Robinson registered two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and two steals in 16 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 win over the Pistons in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Robinson saw a slight dip in playing time during Game 3, though he recorded multiple steals for the first time this series. The big man is averaging 2.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 18.0 minutes per game during the first round.

Eubanks finished Thursday's 117-83 victory over Denver in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with three points (0-1 FG, 3-4 FT) across four minutes.

Eubanks left the bench for the first time in the past four games as the Clippers easily accounted for a disappointing Nuggets team. Having not played in the playoffs prior to Thursday, this was simply a situation where the Clippers were able to roll out their depth pieces down the stretch. The two teams will meet again in Game 4 on Saturday, where Los Angeles will look to grab a 3-1 series lead.

Jokic closed Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal over 37 minutes.

Jokic did his thing despite the loss, recording another playoff triple-double. Performances like this are basically par for the course at this point, continuing what has been another standout season. While the numbers were fantastic, Jokic received very little support outside of Jamal Murray, leading to a blowout loss. Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday, where the Nuggets will look to bounce back against a Clippers team full of confidence.

Kleber (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Kleber continues to work his way back from surgery on his right foot, which means he'll be sidelined once again Friday. There remains no timeline for his return to the floor to make his debut with the Lakers, as he could very well not play another game until the start of next season.

Allen closed Wednesday's 121-112 win over Miami in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 31 minutes.

Allen put in the work in the frontcourt during Game 2, coming one point and two rebounds shy of a double-double. The Cavaliers now have a commanding 2-0 series lead, as the series shifts to Miami for the next two games.

Adebayo had 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Adebayo led Miami in rebounds and assists in Game 2's loss and was one assist shy of recording his second career playoff triple-double. However, the star big man has struggled with his efficiency against the Cavaliers' frontcourt of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, shooting just 41.9 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from three.
