Kevin Huerter to Remain Sidelined in Game 4

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (adductor) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter remains on the sideline and hasn't appeared in a contest since Game 4 of the first-round series. It's unclear when Huerter will return, with him being listed as questionable coming into this game. His continued absence should mean Caris LeVert and Daniss Jenkins continue to have increased roles in the rotation.

Caris LeVert is Cleared for Game 4 on Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (heel) has been upgraded to available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeVert was questionable coming into this game due to a right heel contusion. He played 17 minutes on Saturday, finishing with six points, four rebounds, and four steals in the loss. The expectation is that LeVert will continue to play minutes in the teens. The four-steal performance was nice to see, but DFS managers can't expect that to happen every game. LeVert isn't an ideal streaming option with him only playing minutes in the teens right now.

Thomas Bryant is Available to Play in Game 4

Cleveland Cavaliers center Thomas Bryant (back) is cleared to suit up for Monday's Game 4 against the Detroit Pistons. Bryant was uncertain to play in this one due to back spasms. It doesn't appear to be significant enough to keep Bryant out of action. He hasn't played a significant role in the rotation throughout the postseason. He could see a few minutes off the bench, but it won't be enough to warrant looking at Bryant as a possible DFS option.

Victor Wembanyama Won't be Suspended Following Game 4 Ejection

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama won't face further discipline following his ejection from Sunday's Game 4. Wembanyama was ejected from Sunday's game after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul for elbowing Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid in the head. The superstar center won't face a fine or any kind of suspension. He only played 12 minutes before getting tossed from the contest. The Spurs would end up losing the game, but they will have Wembanyama back for Game 5 on Tuesday. His return to the rotation will mean less playing time for Luke Kornet and Carter Bryant.

Anthony Edwards Powers Wolves to Game 4 Win

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards recorded 36 points, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in Sunday's 114-109 Game 4 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old shot 13-for-22 from the field, 3-for-5 from deep, and 7-for-8 at the line across 40 minutes. He scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, including 12 during a 14-5 Minnesota run, as the Timberwolves evened the series at 2-2 after Victor Wembanyama's second-quarter ejection. Edwards averaged 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists during the regular season, and this was exactly the type of high-volume scoring line fantasy managers expect when Minnesota needs a closer.

De'Aaron Fox Posts 24 Points as Spurs Drop Game 4 to Wolves

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox accumulated 24 points (8-for-23 on field goals, 1-for-7 from three, 7-for-10 on free throws), four rebounds, three assists, and three steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 114-109 Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox shared team-high scoring honors with rookie Dylan Harper, who also poured in 24 off the bench, as the Spurs' backcourt tried to absorb the loss of Victor Wembanyama, who was ejected early in the second quarter after a Flagrant 2 elbow on Naz Reid. The veteran point guard's efficiency was a concern, as he made only 34.8 percent of his field-goal attempts and went 1-for-7 from beyond the arc. Wembanyama's status for Tuesday's Game 5 in San Antonio is to be determined by the league following the Flagrant 2 foul call, and Fox could see another heavy workload if the Spurs are without their superstar.

Victor Wembanyama Ejected in Game 4 Loss

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Sunday's Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter. According to the Associated Press through NBA.com, Wembanyama threw an elbow toward Naz Reid, and the upgraded foul triggered an automatic ejection. He finished with four points, four rebounds, and three fouls in 13 minutes as San Antonio fell 114-109, tying the series 2-2. After posting 39 points on 13-for-18 shooting in Game 3, Wembanyama's early exit was a brutal fantasy result, though Spurs coach Mitch Johnson reportedly doubted he would face a suspension before Game 5.

VJ Edgecombe Struggles with Shot in Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe finished Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks with eight points, six rebounds, seven assists, and one block in 30 minutes. The rookie shot 4-for-14 from the field and missed all six of his three-point attempts as Philadelphia was swept out of the second round. It was a rough offensive close, but the playmaking volume was still encouraging after Edgecombe averaged 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists during the season. His rookie-year stat profile leaves him positioned for a major fantasy leap if the efficiency catches up.

Paul George Held to Seven Points in 76ers' Game 4 Loss

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George managed just seven points (3-for-7 FG), one rebound, two assists, and one three-pointer in Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks. The 36-year-old capped the second-round series with his lowest-scoring outing of the playoffs, as the Knicks completed a four-game sweep. George averaged 14.5 points across the matchup, well off his regular-season mark of 17.3 points and his 18.2-point output in the first round against Boston. Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 24 points on a perfect 8-of-8 from the field, but it wasn't enough for Philadelphia. The 76ers have not reached the Eastern Conference Finals since 2001, and the franchise faces major questions about its aging core this summer.

Josh Hart Helps Knicks Reach East Finals

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (thumb) recorded 17 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and four three-pointers in Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran wing shot 6-for-10 from the field, 4-for-6 from deep, and 1-for-1 at the line across 29 minutes as New York completed the sweep. Hart had been on the injury report with a thumb issue earlier in the series, but his shot looked fine in the clincher. His rebounding remains the bankable playoff piece, and the improved perimeter shooting gives him a cleaner path to fantasy value when New York's offense is this spaced out.

Jalen Brunson Finishes Game 4 Sweep with 22 Points

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson finished Sunday's 144-114 Game 4 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with 22 points, four rebounds, six assists, and six three-pointers. The All-Star drained 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and went 8-for-17 from the field. Brunson's early shooting helped fuel a record-setting first quarter in which New York knocked down 11 three-pointers on its way to tying the NBA postseason record with 25 makes in the game. Miles McBride started in place of the injured OG Anunoby (hamstring) and led the Knicks with 25 points on seven made threes. The Knicks now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season, having outscored opponents by 19.4 points per game through two rounds, the best per-game differential by any team through two rounds in the 43 years of the 16-team format.

Karl-Anthony Towns Logs Sixth Double-Double of Postseason

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.

Ayo Dosunmu Replaces Mike Conley in Starting Unit Sunday

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.

Miles McBride Tallies Game-High 25 Points in Series-Clincher

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.

Tyrese Maxey Settles for 17 Points Sunday

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.

Joel Embiid Scores Efficient 24 Points in Season-Ending Loss

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.

Caris LeVert Iffy for Monday Night

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.

Kevin Huerter Listed as Questionable for Game 4

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.

Austin Reaves Nears Double-Double In Game 3 Loss

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.

LeBron James Facing Sweep With Game 4 on Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James recorded 19 points (7-for-19 on field goals, 2-for-6 from three, 3-for-4 on free throws), 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.
