The Scoop: Robinson is bothered by lower-back soreness, and he could test out the issue during pregame warmups Wednesday before the Pistons update his status. Ausar Thompson and Daniss Jenkins would be needed to help pick up the slack if Robinson is ultimately downgraded to out for Game 5.

 The Scoop: The 27 points led the Lakers on the night, but it wasn't quite enough to keep their season alive as they got swept out of the second round. Reaves looked fully healthy over the last few games, averaging 25.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.3 threes in 40.0 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, and the 27-year-old guard's usage could get a boost in 2026-27 if LeBron James elects to call it a career, leaving the keys to the offense in the hands of Reaves and Luka Doncic (hamstring).

 The Scoop: James scored 14 of his 24 points in the second half and finished as Los Angeles' third-leading scorer in Monday's season-ending loss. The superstar also dominated on the glass, grabbing a game- and series-best 12 rebounds en route to his third double-double of the postseason. After being swept by the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, the 41-year-old will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason. He averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes per contest across 60 regular-season games in 2025-26, and he still appears to have plenty left in the tank if he decides to play next season.

 The Scoop: Harden missed all five of his shots from inside the arc yet dominated from deep and frequently got to the charity stripe. The veteran guard scored 15 of his 24 points in the first half but took a back seat to Donovan Mitchell afterward, as Mitchell scored 39 points in the second half. Harden tallied a game-high 11 assists, marking his second double-double of the postseason, with his first coming in Game 1 against the Raptors during the opening round. He also contributed at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for the second time in this series.

 The Scoop: Thompson had a muted performance on the offensive end and didn't offer much defensively in his limited minutes. The third-year forward logged fewer than 24 minutes for the first time this postseason and finished with a game-worst minus-27 point differential. He'll look to bounce back during Wednesday's Game 5 in Detroit.

 The Scoop: Harris saw a heavy workload on the offensive end once again, though he struggled with efficiency in this one. The veteran forward scored fewer than 20 points after eight straight games reaching that mark, but he still finished as Detroit's third-leading scorer. He also led the team in rebounds and chipped in at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for the fifth time this postseason.

 The Scoop: An adductor strain early in the season more or less derailed Watford's campaign, as he averaged a career-low 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 16.3 minutes per tilt over 53 regular-season games. His contract includes a $2.8 million team option for 2026-27, and it's still plausible Philadelphia will pick it up to reinforce its frontcourt depth.

 The Scoop: Barlow put forth a quality campaign for the 76ers in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.8 minutes per tilt over 71 regular-season games (59 starts). His contract includes a $3.42 million team option for 2026-27, and it would make sense if Philadelphia brought Barlow back as a key reserve piece in the frontcourt for 2026-27.

 The Scoop: With Sunday's game getting out of hand early, Edwards helped soak up some garbage-time minutes. The forward is under contract for 2026-27 and figures to handle a similar reserve role next year. He finished the regular season with averages of 6.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 15.3 minutes per tilt over 64 games.

 The Scoop: Wembanyama was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the second quarter, but that will be the extent of his punishment. With the series tied at two wins apiece, Wembanyama will be in the lineup for Game 5. Before Sunday's ejection, Wembanyama averaged 21.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 5.0 blocks and 0.9 steals while posting 54/36/88 shooting splits through his first seven career playoff games.
