The Scoop: Walker played nine minutes off the bench, joining his fellow benchwarmers as the Pacers blew out the Knicks. While it was nice to see the rookie on the floor, there was possibly a case to be made for him playing even more minutes given the nature of the scoreline.

 The Scoop: Jeffries made a rare appearance Sunday as the Knicks went deep into their rotation. The Pacers dominated from start to finish, meaning even Tom Thibodeau couldn't justify playing his starters big minutes. Obviously, this is not something fans should expect to see very often.

 The Scoop: Prosper has missed nine straight games with a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come Wednesday.

 The Scoop: Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation.

 The Scoop: Kornet sustained a calf strain in late April but has suited up for each of the last six games for Boston. If he were to end up missing Monday's tilt, Xavier Tillman would likely work behind Al Horford at the five.

 The Scoop: Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he seems to be fully recovered. Phillips appeared in 40 games for Chicago as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points over 8.1 minutes.

 The Scoop: Suiting up for the first time since March 8 after needing two months to heal up from a sprained knee, Wade captured a rotation spot and helped provide the Cavaliers with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. Though he acquitted himself well during his time on the court, Wade is unlikely to see his role grow substantially as the series rolls along, especially once center Jarrett Allen (ribs) is back in action.

 The Scoop: Strus continues to deliver nothing but mediocrity, scoring fewer than 15 points for the eighth time in the past nine games, all during the playoffs. If the Cavaliers have any chance of beating the Celtics, they are going to need Strus to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. Based on what we have seen during the postseason, that might be wishful thinking.

 The Scoop: Brissett played one minute of garbage time as the Celtics held on for a relatively comfortable victory Saturday. Barring another sizable margin, Brissett is unlikely to leave the bench on most nights, especially as we get deeper into the playoffs.

 The Scoop: Hauser connected on a pair of three-pointers, the highlight of what was another passive performance. Boston is generally running with a shallow rotation, with Payton Pritchard the only depth piece playing meaningful minutes. Having wrestled back home court advantage, Boston will be pushing for a 3-1 series lead when the two teams line up again Monday.
