    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Records double-double in Game 4

    Gobert logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Gobert delivered in the fourth quarter, making key plays that cemented the team's Game 4 victory. Sunday marked Gobert's fourth double-double of the postseason after hitting the benchmark three times against the Nuggets. While shot volume continues to be an issue for the veteran, his rebound totals are keeping him relevant as a reliable fantasy target.

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Roughed up in Game 4

    Reid ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Reid injured his ankle early in the fourth quarter but returned to the contest. He was also involved in the game's pivotal news item, as he was on the receiving end of Victor Wembanyama's Flagrant 2 foul, which caused the MVP candidate's ejection. Reid avoided injury despite taking an elbow to the face and managed a solid line that came one rebound shy of a double-double. The series is now guaranteed to last at least two more games, and Reid's high floor will make him a solid DFS target for Game 5.

  • VJ Edgecombe SG | PHI

    76ers' VJ Edgecombe: Struggles in season finale

    Edgecombe closed with eight points (4-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Edgecombe had some issues from the field, shooting just 28.6 percent, bringing to a close what was an impressive rookie season. While he was not really in the Rookie of the Year discussion, Edgecombe certainly compiled a solid campaign, averaging 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers over 75 regular-season games plus the playoffs. He closed as a top-70 fantasy asset, which should put him on the radar as a mid-round selection heading into next season.

  • Paul George SF | PHI

    76ers' Paul George: Poor end to season

    George contributed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    George went out with a whimper, turning in easily his worst game of the postseason. In fact, his seven points matched his season low, summing up what was a rough night for the 76ers. With the season coming to an end, discussions regarding George's immediate future will undoubtedly begin to bubble. Through 49 appearances in both the regular season and the playoffs, George averaged 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.

  • Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Increased role Sunday

    Hukporti closed Sunday's 144-114 victory over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with five points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes.

    Hukporti logged double-digit minutes for just the third time this postseason, taking advantage of the fact that the game was done and dusted early. Although his role is likely to remain very limited, it is worth noting that opposing teams have started to go in the direction of intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson. Should this continue, Hukporti could be called upon in specific situations, given that he is at least somewhat reliable from the free-throw line.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Flirts with double-double Sunday

    Hart posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Hart turned in a balanced performance, falling one rebound short of his second straight double-double. It continued what has been a mixed bag for Hart during the playoffs, scoring double digits on six occasions while averaging 1.6 steals per contest. The Knicks will now face either the Cavaliers or the Pistons for the right to advance to the NBA Finals.

  • Knicks' Miles McBride: Leads all scorers in Game 4 win

    McBride racked up 25 points (7-10 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    McBride caught fire from the perimeter, landing seven three-pointers en route to a game-high 25 points. In what was easily his best game of the postseason, McBride was starting for the second straight contest, filling in for OG Anunoby, who remained out with a hamstring concern. After sweeping Philadelphia, New York will now move to the Eastern Conference Finals to face either Cleveland or Detroit.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Stellar performance in win

    Edwards recorded 36 points (13-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 Western Conference Semifinals Game 4 win over the Spurs.

    The Timberwolves star completely took over down the stretch, pouring in 16 fourth-quarter points to help Minnesota erase an early deficit and even the series at 2-2. Edwards delivered several momentum-shifting baskets in crunch time, including a deep 27-footer and the go-ahead three with just over five minutes remaining. The 24-year-old continues to establish himself as one of the NBA's elite playoff scorers, logging his 18th 30-point playoff tally to tie him for fourth all-time in that category among players under the age of 25.
