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.

Ajay Mitchell Posts Career Playoff Night in Game 3
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.

Chet Holmgren Helps Thunder Move to Brink of Conference Finals
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 on field goals, 0-for-4 on three-pointers), 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.
