Hits for 20 in Game 5 start
McCain closed Tuesday's 127-114 victory over the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals with 20 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and three rebounds over 33 minutes.


 The Scoop: Making his first start since the first game of the first round against the Suns on April 12, McCain provided strong secondary scoring for the Thunder. The second-year guard has played at least 24 minutes in four straight games, taking advantage of the absence of Jalen Williams (hamstring). Over that stretch, McCain is averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.0 assists, although he's shooting just 34.4 percent from the floor. Williams still lacks a clear return timeline, so McCain could see an elevated role again in Game 6 on Thursday.

Drops 22 in Game 5 loss
Champagnie finished with 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 127-114 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: The 22 points were a series high for Champagnie. In fact, he hadn't scored more than 11 in the prior four games. The four made three-pointers and three steals were also series highs, and through five contests against OKC, he's averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.6 assists and 2.0 combined steals and blocks in 34.8 minutes. Champagnie will look to stay locked in for Game 6 on Thursday.

Held in check in Game 5 loss
Wembanyama accumulated 20 points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-114 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: It was his worst offensive performance of the series so far, although he was able to make his usual impact on the defensive end. Wembanyama has recorded multiple blocks and at least one steal in all five games. The 22-year-old superstar is averaging 28.2 points, 11.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 3.0 blocks, 1.8 threes and 1.4 steals in 38.8 minutes against the Thunder in the WCF, and he'll look to help the Spurs stay alive on their home court in Game 6 on Thursday.

Paces San Antonio in Game 5 defeat
Castle finished with 24 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-114 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: Castle led the Spurs in scoring Tuesday, turning in a highly efficient performance from the floor, though his efforts weren't enough to prevent San Antonio from falling into a 3-2 series deficit. While the star duo of Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox struggled heavily and combined for just an 8-for-30 shooting night from the field, Castle stepped up to carry the offensive load by missing only four shots all evening. With the team now facing elimination, the sophomore guard should continue to see a massive workload heading into a must-win Game 6 in San Antonio on Thursday.

Not starting Tuesday
Wallace won't start Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, Josue Pavon of ClutchPoints.com reports.


 The Scoop: Jared McCain will get the starting nod with Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (calf) sidelined, pushing Wallace back to the second unit. Through four games (one start) in the series, the third-year guard has averaged 9.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes per tilt.

Entering starting lineup Tuesday
McCain will start Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against San Antonio, Josue Pavon of ClutchPoints.com reports.


 The Scoop: With Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (calf) out, head coach Mark Daigneault will shake things up and slide McCain into the starting five for the first time this postseason. The guard replaces Cason Wallace in the backcourt, giving Oklahoma City an additional scoring threat and floor spacer alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. McCain is coming off a quiet four-point outing in Game 4, but he showed his explosive upside with a 24-point performance in Game 3 and should see plenty of volume in a pivotal home matchup.

Scores two points in loss
Tomlin contributed two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one assist over seven minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: The second-year forward picked up some garbage-time minutes in this season-ending loss. During the regular season, Tomlin appeared in 64 games with averages of 5.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per contest while shooting 47.8 percent from the field.

Scoreless in nine minutes
Porter ended Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with one rebound and three assists across nine minutes.


 The Scoop: Playing in his third NBA season, Porter averaged a career-high 17.9 minutes per game across 64 regular-season appearances for Cleveland. His fantasy value was limited, however, as he posted averages of 4.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.9 steals on 45.0 percent shooting from the field in the regular season.

Scoreless in 12 minutes
Wade closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 12 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: The Cavaliers were blown out of this contest, resulting in a lower workload for Wade. The forward appeared in 59 regular-season contests for the Cavaliers, posting averages of 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes per contest.

Quiet effort in Game 4
Tyson contributed two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.


 The Scoop: Tyson had a very quiet postseason for the Cavaliers, but his performance in the regular season turned some heads. Across 66 contests, he averaged 26.9 minutes per game with 13.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 44.6 percent from beyond the arc.
