Jazz-Rockets (Celtics Lead 3-1)

With Dante Exum and Ricky Rubio out, Royce O’Neale and Raul Neto are candidates to get extended playing time and chances. I still love Donovan Mitchell doing everything he can to keep his team alive, even though it likely won’t be enough.

I’ve covered everyone worth considering on the Rockets outside of Trevor Ariza, who is always a hit-or-miss option. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute can make for a low cost option who will provide some value.

Pelicans-Warriors (Warriors Lead 3-1)

Rajon Rondo missed value in Game 4, but he’s been excellent during the playoffs. That said, he’s very reliant on assists and if the Warriors don’t allow others to hit shots, he’s going to struggle once again. I’d still chalk up Sunday as an off-night and expect better on Tuesday. I haven’t loved Nikola Mirotic all series and now I’m worried that he’s gone cold.

Steph Curry is always an option on the Warriors with his shooting. But he’s become less of a playmaker due to them running more offense through Kevin Durant. Without the assists, he really needs to be hot from the field or chip in defensively. Quinn Cook is an option and he’s played well in two games this series. But he’s not reliable.
