Hartenstein supplied two points (1-1 FG), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 128-126 victory over Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Hartenstein played fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game, a decision based purely on the individual matchup. Against a Timberwolves team with a more mobile frontcourt, Oklahoma City has opted to run a smaller lineup of late. The addition of Hartenstein and Alex Caruso during the offseason was for just this reason, providing the team with the flexibility to chop and change its rotation. Hartenstein will likely continue to start, but his playing time could remain limited, at least for the remainder of the Western Conference Finals.

Bradley logged two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 15 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bradley soaked up all of the backup center minutes, with Thomas Bryant failing to leave the bench. It was a curious decision given Bryant has typically played as the primary backup behind Myles Turner, providing the Pacers with some useful contributions. Neither player has managed to rise above the other, meaning the rotation could be fluid moving forward.

Robinson accumulated six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 victory over Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Robinson replaced Josh Hart in the starting lineup, a move that ultimately led to a much-needed victory. Despite the starting tag, Robinson's production remained somewhat underwhelming. However, his impact on the defensive end helped limit the Pacers to just 100 points, which won't be lost on the coaching staff. The two teams will meet again Tuesday, with New York looking to level the series at 2-2.

Towns provided 24 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 win over Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Towns put the Knicks on his back down the stretch, leading from the front as New York erased a 20-point deficit. He has now scored at least 20 points in four straight games, although this may have been his most important offensive showing. After losing both games in front of its home crowd, New York now trails the series 2-1 with Game 4 slated for Tuesday in Indiana.

Robinson will start Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Sunday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

The Knicks will change things up for Game 3, with Robinson replacing Josh Hart in the starting lineup. Robinson has provided great minutes for New York throughout the series, averaging 4.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game through two contests. However, most of his impact, such as creating extra possessions on offense and disrupting shots on the other end, has not shown up in the stat sheet. Robinson should see ample run in Game 3, but it remains to be seen just how much his role will change, considering he played a significant 29 minutes in Game 2.

Reid closed Saturday's 143-101 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes.

Reid delivered an efficient performance after shooting just 4-for-19 in the club's first two games of the Western Conference Finals. The big man also shot an abysmal 0-for-12 from beyond the arc in that two-game span. Over three Western Conference Finals appearances, Reid has averaged 8.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 25.0 minutes per contest.

Toppin amassed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Toppin logged no more than 20 minutes for the fifth straight game, continuing to serve as a complementary piece for the Pacers. In 11 games over the past month, Toppin has averaged just 7.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game. The victory gives the Pacers a 3-1 lead over the Knicks, with the series now heading back to New York.

Siakam ended with 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Siakam scored at least 30 points for the second time in the past two games, helping the Pacers extend its lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. After a somewhat subdued series against the Cavaliers, Siakam has lifted his offensive output of late. Indiana now holds a 3-1 lead with Game 5 slated for Thursday in New York.

Garza recorded seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) across five minutes during Saturday's 143-101 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Garza appeared in a game for just the fourth time these playoffs, scoring a postseason-high seven points. With the result all but settled heading into the final quarter, Minnesota was able to trot out its fringe players, providing them with a rare opportunity to see the court. The Timberwolves will be looking to build on this performance when the two teams line up again in Game 4 on Monday night at Target Center.

Randle ended Saturday's 143-101 victory over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals with 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes.

Randle was one of the players singled out in the Timberwolves' first two losses in Oklahoma City, but the veteran forward responded with an excellent showing in this victory. He was the clear-cut second-best player on the floor Saturday behind Anthony Edwards, and the Timberwolves will need Randle to be at his best if they want to even the series up Monday before returning to OKC for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Siakam posted 39 points (15-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Siakam established a new career-high mark in points in the postseason, and his contributions came at a perfect time for the Pacers, as they improved to 2-0 in the series ahead of two games at home Sunday and Tuesday. Siakam has been a reliable scoring weapon for the Pacers throughout the playoffs and has been playing well of late with 20 or more points in three of his last four contests.

Randle registered 28 points (9-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 114-88 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Randle continued his impressive postseason, tallying at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. However, his playmaking took a major step back. After averaging 7.4 assists during the Western Conference Semifinals, Randle recorded only one dime against the Thunder. Win or lose, Randle has proven himself on the biggest stage, providing the Timberwolves with a consistent scoring threat alongside Anthony Edwards. Minnesota also lost Game 1 against the Warriors before winning the following four games, likely providing them with confidence despite Tuesday's loss.

Nesmith accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Nesmith played through an ankle sprain suffered during the Game 3 loss, scoring in double digits for the fifth time in the past six games. He continues to play a key role on both ends of the floor, typically tasked with defending the opposition's primary assets. Through four games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Nesmith has averaged 16.5 points, 1.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per contest.

Hart supplied 12 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hart came off the bench for the second consecutive game, with head coach Tom Thibodeau opting to go with both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup. Although Hart was able to record his fifth double-double of the playoffs, his supporting numbers left a lot to be desired. Game 5 will be in New York on Thursday, with the Knicks needing a victory to extend the series.

Anunoby chipped in 22 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Indiana in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Anunoby got it done on both ends of the floor, albeit in a losing effort. While Jalen Brunson typically garners all the attention, Anunoby has quietly put together a strong postseason, averaging 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks in 13 games over the past month. Now trailing the Pacers 3-1, the series will head back to New York for what is a must-win game for the Knicks.

Nesmith (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Nesmith suffered an ankle sprain in Game 3, but powered through the injury during that contest. Although it was uncertain whether he'd suit up for Game 4, the Vanderbilt product will be on the floor on Tuesday. The 25-year-old is averaging 16.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in this series while shooting 53.6 percent from the field and an impressive 73.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Alexander-Walker posted 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Alexander-Walker served up his best game of the postseason, scoring at least 20 points for just the second time in the playoffs. With Mike Conley continuing to struggle, the Timberwolves have had to rely on the likes of Alexander-Walker and Donte DiVincenzo, both of whom did more than their fair share of the heavy lifting. However, with Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle struggling, Minnesota fell short of the mark, handing Oklahoma City a 3-1 series lead.

McDaniels notched 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

McDaniels turned in an impressive shooting performance Monday night after being held to 10 points in Saturday's Game 3. He also made his presence known on the defensive end of the court by racking up a team-high four steals. The Washington product has now put up 22 points in two of his last three matchups, and his team will need more of the same in Game 5 to extend this series.

Bridges chipped in 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bridges scored at least 15 points for the fifth straight game, although his peripheral production was a little underwhelming. For the most part, Bridges has been a relatively consistent producer on both ends of the floor, averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 combined steals and blocks over the past 13 games. Tuesday's loss now sees New York trailing Indiana 3-1, making Game 5 a non-negotiable for the Knicks.

DiVincenzo closed Monday's 128-126 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals with 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

DiVincenzo had arguably his best game of the playoffs, ending as one of three Timberwolves to score at least 20 points. Prior to Monday, DiVincenzo had scored single digits in nine of the previous 10 games. While DiVincenzio, Jaden McDaniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker were all able to play above themselves, Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards combined for just 21 points, ultimately resulting in what was a disappointing result for the home team.

Edwards posted 16 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Edwards came up short in the loss, tallying just 16 points in what was arguably the most important game of the season. Although it's been a strong postseason, some questions remain when it comes to Edwards' ability to produce when it matters. Now trailing 3-1, Edwards will have a chance to redeem himself when the two teams meet in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, with Minnesota needing a win to extend the series.

Gilgeous-Alexander ended Monday's 128-126 victory over Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals with 40 points (13-30 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-14 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 40 minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career playoff-high 40 points, pushing the Thunder to within one win of wrapping up the Western Conference Finals. Following a 14-point effort in Saturday's heavy loss, the newly-crowned MVP fell just one rebound short of a triple-double. He now has at least 30 points in six of the past seven games and has consistently proven himself on the biggest stage. The series will now shift back to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will look to wrap things up.

Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 40 points (13-30 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-14 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 128-126 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Gilgeous-Alexander managed to redeem himself following a sluggish 14-point showing in Saturday's blowout loss. The 2024-25 MVP made clutch shots down the stretch to keep his squad in front, which included several free throws in the final minute of play. He also dished out double-digit assists for the first time this postseason and fell one board shy of a triple-double. Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams accounted for 74 of the team's 128 points in a statement win by the Thunder.

Shannon (shoulder) returned at the start of the fourth quarter in Monday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, per the broadcast.

Shannon exited to the locker room with 7:19 remaining in the second quarter due to an apparent left shoulder injury. The rookie will likely be able to handle his usual workload the rest of the way.

Haliburton amassed 32 points (11-23 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 assists, 12 rebounds and four steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Haliburton became the first player in NBA playoff history to record at least 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds with zero turnovers. The 25-year-old also racked up multiple steals for the third straight matchup. The superstar point guard has logged a double-double or better in three of four Eastern Conference Finals games, averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals across 38.0 minutes per game. Haliburton and the Pacers will look to close out the series on the road in Game 5 on Thursday.

Westbrook announced Tuesday that he will undergo right hand surgery, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Westbrook said he is undergoing surgery to address two breaks that happened during the season. The veteran guard managed to suit up in 75 regular-season games despite these injuries, averaging 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 44.9 percent from the field. Westbrook holds a $3.47 million player option for 2025-26 and should be a full go for training camp.

Caruso closed with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 128-126 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Caruso stepped into a larger role, starting the second half in place of Isaiah Hartenstein. After playing just 10 minutes in the Game 3 loss, the coaching staff opted to go small against the Timberwolves. Although his numbers don't jump off the page, Caruso has been pivotal for the Thunder, providing a consistent defensive presence while also landing a handful of key baskets. The two teams will meet again in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, with the Thunder now just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

Mitchell racked up 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Saturday's 143-101 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Thunder was no match for the Timberwolves, waving the white flag early and consequently affording the bench unit with some extra run. Mitchell made the most of a rare opportunity, matching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with a team-high 14 points. Mitchell has not been on the court when it matters thus far during the playoffs, making this nothing more than an outlier.

Nembhard finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 114-109 victory over New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Nembhard continues to play his role to perfection, tallying double-digits for the eighth time in the past nine games. He has shot at least 60 percent from the floor in the past three games, landing multiple key shots toward the backend of games. The Pacers now lead the Eastern Conference Finals 2-0 and will head back to Indiana for games 3 and 4. A pair of victories would mean a trip to the NBA Finals for just the second time in the team's history.

McConnell recorded 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 14 minutes during Friday's 114-109 victory over the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

McConnell scored double-digits for the second straight game and the fourth time in the past five games. Despite continuing to play a modest role, McConnell's contributions have been significant in the context of the series. The Pacers have the ability to run a deeper rotation than the Knicks, of which McConnell is a valuable piece. Indiana will now head home for games 3 and 4, with an opportunity to wrap up the series with two more victories.
