Reid chipped in nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 94-85 loss to the Lakers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Reid had 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 117-95 win over the Lakers in Game 1, but never really found his rhythm in Game 2 as he got into early foul trouble. With the series tied at one win apiece, Game 3 is set for Friday in Minnesota.

Hayes chipped in two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one block across nine minutes during Tuesday's 94-85 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Hayes has been a complete non-factor in this series, as he has been more of a foul magnet than a player who can make an impact on the basketball floor. The veteran has played a total of 17 minutes across the first two games, racking up five fouls and three points, which has made him virtually unplayable and a player head coach JJ Redick hasn't been able to rely on in the paint.

Lopez logged eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and four blocks in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After playing a key role in the regular season with 31.8 minutes per game, Lopez's workload in the playoffs has tanked. Through the opening two games, the veteran center is averaging 18.5 minutes per night with 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. With the Bucks staring at a 2-0 deficit, it will be interesting to see what coach Doc Rivers tweaks going forward.

Turner notched 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 win over the Bucks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Pacers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Bucks, and Turner has been terrific in the frontcourt. Through two games, the veteran center holds averages of 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 3.0 blocks, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field.

Hartenstein closed with six points (3-7 FG), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 victory over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Hartenstein got the job done on the glass along with Chet Holmgren, as the two big men combined for 21 rebounds. Oklahoma City will now head into Game 3 with a commanding 2-0 lead as this series shifts to Memphis for the next two games.

Edey had four points (2-3 FG), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Outside of Jaren Jackson's performance in Game 2, Memphis hasn't gotten much out of their frontcourt in this series. In his first two playoff appearances, Edey has averaged a mere 4.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting in 23.0 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be a surprise to see some rotation changes for Game 3.

Holmgren logged 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and five blocks over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the Western Conference playoffs.

Holmgren posted his second straight double-double of the playoffs and showed off his defensive dominance with a game-high five blocks. Including the playoffs, Holmgren has 13 double-doubles and five games in which he's logged at least five blocks. He's also been efficient from beyond the arc this postseason, connecting on six of his 12 three-point attempts in two playoff games.

Landale (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Warriors.

Landale will miss his second straight game due to a right knee contusion. The big man's next chance to suit up will come in Saturday's Game 3 against Golden State, though he's unlikely to play significant minutes in Houston's rotation whenever he returns.

Zubac supplied 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 105-102 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Zubac made his presence felt in the paint, as he put in work on the glass and in the scoring department while battling with Nikola Jokic. The rising star has recorded a double-double in 17 consecutive games, continuing to excel during a career year.

Robinson closed Monday's 100-94 loss to Detroit in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-2 FG), seven rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes.

Outside of doing a decent job crashing the glass Monday, Robinson failed to make a significant impact in Game 2. The veteran big man didn't do much better in Game 1, finishing with six points on three made field goals.
