New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his sixth double-double of the 2026 NBA Playoffs on Sunday, playing his part in a 144-114 blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers with 17 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, and two blocks. Towns did all of that in just 20 minutes, finishing with a 5-for-7 record from the field. He was 2-for-3 from downtown and 5-for-6 at the free-throw line. New York was completely dominant in this series, allowing the team to limit Towns' workload to 23.3 minutes per game. Yet he still averaged nearly a triple-double, tallying 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. Towns should be fresh and ready for the Eastern Conference Finals, which may not start for a while due to the competitive nature of the Pistons-Cavaliers series.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu will start Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, replacing Mike Conley. The Timberwolves are tweaking their starting lineup for a second consecutive game after bringing Anthony Edwards back into the first unit in Game 3. Given that Conley logged only 4:13 in the last game, it's not surprising to see him drop to the bench, and there's a strong possibility the veteran will fall completely out of the rotation. Dosunmu has made a positive impression in the playoffs, averaging 17.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 29.3 minutes per game.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride led all scorers in Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. He got hot from downtown, going 7-for-9 and finishing 7-for-10 overall from the field, making all four free-throw attempts. McBride also contributed four rebounds and one steal during the series-clinching win. The 25-year-old made a second consecutive start with OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined. In Game 3, McBride couldn't handle the added responsibility, scoring only three points in 21 minutes. He did much better in Sunday's game, offering the Knicks reassurance that they can count on McBride if Anunoby can't return for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey tallied 17 points as the team's season ended with a blowout loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday. Philadelphia was swept in the second-round series, with Maxey's performance in the matchup summing up the entire team's effort. The star guard struggled from the field and averaged only 17.8 points. He finished 6-for-16 on Sunday, going 1-for-7 from downtown. In 33 minutes on the floor, Maxey grabbed two rebounds and handed out four assists. It was a disappointing finish to an otherwise highly successful campaign for Maxey, who had career-high numbers in points (28.3), rebounds (4.1), assists (6.6), steals (1.9), and blocks (0.8) during the regular season. At 25, he is just entering his prime and should provide high-level fantasy production for many more years.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored a team-high 24 points in Sunday's 144-114 season-ending loss to the New York Knicks. Embiid battled health and consistency issues during the playoffs, but he had an impressive showing on Sunday. The former MVP finished 8-for-8 from the field and 6-for-7 at the charity stripe, making both attempts from three-point range. Embiid added five rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes. Unfortunately, Embiid couldn't shake off the injury bug this season, appearing in only 38 regular-season games and also missing time during the playoffs. Having suited up for just 96 regular-season games across the last three campaigns, Embiid continues to be a high-risk pick in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The 27-year-old has previously carried a doubtful tag on the injury report, so this should be seen as a positive development. Yet it's still unclear whether Huerter will be ready to play. Caris LeVert (heel) has also been added to the injury report, which could further increase Daniss Jenkins' workload. On Monday, Jenkins will look to rebound from a poor Game 3 performance. Injuries to the bench unit also force Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to rely more on his starters.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (heel) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has popped up on the injury report with a right heel contusion. LeVert logged 17 minutes off the bench in Game 3 and made his biggest impact defensively, snagging four steals. Generally, he has not played a significant role for the Pistons this postseason, averaging 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game. If LeVert can't go and Kevin Huerter (adductor) remains out, Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green will lead the bench unit. It's also possible that Ron Holland II will get more run-outs.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves posted 17 points, nine assists, and three rebounds in Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 27-year-old logged 39 minutes but had another uneven shooting night, going 5-for-13 from the field, 1-for-5 from three-point range, and committing five turnovers. Reaves has now scored eight, 31, and 17 points through three games in the series, with Oklahoma City taking a 3-0 lead after outscoring Los Angeles 74-49 in the second half. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) still sidelined, Reaves remains locked into heavy usage, even if the efficiency has been shaky.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James recorded 19 points (7-for-19 FG, 2-for-6 3Pt, 3-for-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The four-time MVP has not asserted himself offensively against the defending champions, and the continued absence of Luka Doncic (hamstring) leaves Los Angeles with little margin for error. "I'm not angry or disappointed," James said postgame. "We've still got life... We've got to be much better on Monday." A loss in Game 4 would mark the fourth postseason sweep of James' career.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren finished Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers with 18 points (9-for-14 FG, 0-for-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, and one block in 31 minutes. The 2026 All-Star was efficient inside the arc but went cold from deep on a night Ajay Mitchell had career playoff highs of 24 points and 10 assists while filling in for the injured Jalen Williams (hamstring). With Oklahoma City now 7-0 in the postseason, Holmgren can close out the Lakers as soon as Monday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell delivered a career playoff night in Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 24 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, and three steals across 30 minutes. The 23-year-old was sharp from all over the floor, shooting 10-for-17 from the field, 2-for-4 from three-point range, and 2-for-3 at the foul line. Mitchell has taken full advantage of his expanded postseason role, and this double-double was another reminder that his fantasy value can hold as long as Oklahoma City keeps leaning on him for creation.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 21 points and five rebounds in 38 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 15th-year veteran briefly put Detroit ahead 101-100 with a three-pointer at the 4:57 mark, only for Cleveland to close on a 16-8 run and snap the Pistons' five-game playoff win streak. Harris finished 7-for-14 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and a perfect 5-for-5 at the line. He has now scored 20 or more in eight consecutive playoff games after averaging just 13.3 points during the regular season, a contract-year leap that's kept Detroit ahead 2-1 in the series with Game 4 in Cleveland on Monday.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley recorded 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in Saturday's 116-109 Game 3 win over the Detroit Pistons. The fifth-year big man shot 4-for-6 from the field but went 0-for-2 from deep and just 5-for-10 at the line, keeping this from being a sharper fantasy line. Still, Mobley has now blocked at least two shots in three straight games and is averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals through the first three games of the series.

Pistons' G Cade Cunningham recorded a triple-double, finishing with 27 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in a 109-116 loss to Cleveland on Saturday, May. 9.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson produced a great all-around performance in Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished with 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, five steals, and one block. Robinson remained hot from downtown, going 4-for-7, and finished 5-for-9 overall from the field. With three games played, Robinson has already made 14 triples in this series. Recently, he has also become a defensive pest, snagging 3.25 steals per game over his last four appearances. This two-way version of Robinson is a high-impact performer and should continue to see heavy minutes against Cleveland.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham led his team in scoring (27), rebounding (10), and assists (10) in Saturday's Game 3 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording his second career postseason triple-double. He almost had an unwanted quadruple-double, finishing with eight turnovers. Cunningham committed several costly turnovers late in the game. Handling the ball has been an issue for Cunningham throughout these playoffs, as he has recorded fewer than four turnovers just once in 10 outings. Against Cleveland, the Pistons' superstar has also faced some scoring difficulties. He was only 10-for-27 from the field in Saturday's defeat, going 2-for-6 from downtown. The 2026 playoffs have gone well for Cunningham, but he could be an even bigger threat on the court with improved efficiency and ball-handling.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell scored a game-high 35 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the team defeated the Detroit Pistons 116-109 in Game 3 on Saturday. This was one of Mitchell's best postseason games of the year, as he added four assists in 38 minutes, going 13-for-24 from the field. He had a 2-for-8 record from deep and went 7-for-8 at the charity stripe. Mitchell is looking sharp, which is great news for the Cavaliers, who cut the series deficit to 2-1 on Saturday. The seven-time All-Star will have a chance to register his third consecutive 30-point outing in Monday's Game 4.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden scored seven points in the final 1:29 of action in Saturday's Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons, helping his team to a 116-109 win. The former MVP was quiet for most of the game but made up for it with key baskets down the stretch. He had 19 points overall, finishing 8-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-7 from behind the arc. Harden grabbed two rebounds, dished out seven assists, and picked up one steal. With this effort, he became only the fourth player in NBA playoff history to record at least 4,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists. Throughout the postseason, Harden's performance has been inconsistent, but he will now carry positive momentum into Monday's Game 4.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 2019 NBA champion injured his right hamstring late in Game 2 and missed Friday's Game 3 of the series. Miles McBride got a chance to start Friday, making the biggest impact on the defensive end with two blocks. On offense, he was limited to three points and two assists due to a 1-for-6 effort from the field. Landry Shamet was another player to benefit from Anunoby's absence and was a lot busier than McBride. In 26 minutes off the bench, Shamet tallied 15 points, three rebounds, and one steal. He finished as New York's third-highest scorer, behind Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (finger) will suit up for Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. The 27-year-old suffered a nasty finger injury in the series opener but sat out only one game. Vanderbilt will bolster the Lakers' frontcourt depth, but it would be surprising to see him play a major role. So far in the playoffs, Vanderbilt has averaged 3.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game. He has been held to two or fewer points in three of six appearances.
