Mitchell Robinson

NYK • Center-Forward • #23

Mitchell Robinson (illness) was not at Saturday’s practice but is expected to play in Game 4 on Sunday against the Pistons.

Despite Robinson missing Saturday’s practice with an illness, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said he expects the backup center to be available on Sunday. If he’s unable to play, Precious Achiuwa will likely enter the rotation. While he is active offensively, the Knicks take a hit defensively when Achiuwa replaces Robinson in the lineup.

Karl-Anthony Towns posted 27 points (10-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with nine rebounds, an assist, a block, and five three-pointers against the Pistons on Sunday.

KAT made the most important bucket of the night from long distance to give the Knicks a 94-93 lead in the fourth quarter. The star big man has bounced back in a big way after scoring just 10 points in Game 2. He’s on fire from beyond the arc, hitting nine of his last 14 attempts over the past two games, and will look to continue stretching the floor with his sharpshooting in Game 5.

Jalen Brunson racked up 32 points (13-of-26 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with five rebounds, 11 assists, a block, and four three-pointers against the Pistons on Sunday.

Brunson had an injury scare in the third quarter but was crucial in the final frame as his team secured a comeback victory. The star point guard scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to help New York edge out Detroit in a low-scoring contest. He’s scored at least 30 points in every game of the first-round series despite struggling through the ankle at times. He’ll look to carry the load again for the Knicks in Game 5.

Bam Adebayo

MIA • Center-Forward • #13

Recap

Bam Adebayo recorded a double-double on Monday with 13 points (6-of-13 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Cavaliers in Game 4.

What started off as a disappointing season for Adebayo eventually turned into a strong one for him, but it wasn’t enough to change Miami’s fortunes in the postseason. Nothing changes for him entering next season. He’s still the franchise cornerstone, along with Tyler Herro. Adebayo’s production improved after the Jimmy Butler trade, which will hopefully translate into a big 2025-26 season for him, though it may depend on what moves the Heat make this season. Regardless, Adebayo should at least be considered a top-50 player entering next season and has the potential for more.

Myles Turner

Recap

Myles Turner amassed 23 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one three-pointer in 30 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Bucks.

Turner thoroughly outplayed Bucks center Brook Lopez in Game 4, rebounding from a 1-of-9 effort in Indiana’s Game 3 loss on Friday. Impactful on both ends of the floor, Turner’s production was one reason why the Pacers head back home with a 3-1 series lead. Game 5 is on Tuesday, and teams that hold a 3-1 lead have won 95.5 percent of the series in NBA playoff history.

Chet Holmgren

OKC • Center-Forward • #7

Recap

Chet Holmgren logged 29 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Grizzlies, accumulating 11 points (3-of-9 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and four blocks.

After failing to record a steal or blocked shot in Oklahoma City’s Game 3 victory, Holmgren was highly impactful as a defender in Game 4. The blocks tally was one shy of his series-high, while the six “stocks” were the most he recorded in a game this series. Whether it’s Denver or the LA Clippers in the second round, Holmgren and the Thunder will be challenged more than they were in the first round. Finishing off the sweep gets Oklahoma City additional rest time, which is another benefit for Holmgren and company.
