Williams chipped in 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 victory over the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Williams started the first two games of the series, but he's operated off the bench since. Overall, he's averaged 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 19.7 minutes per game over the six games. It's unlikely he plays more than 20 minutes during Game 7, but he's proven capable of submitting quality production in limited action.

Williams totaled six points (3-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 110-97 victory over Miami in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Williams was used sparingly in the win, logging limited time as the Celtics took control early. Despite the limited minutes, Williams certainly had an impact, helping keep the likes of Jimmy Butler (14 points) and Bam Adebayo (16 points) in check. The series will now head back to Miami, where the Celtics will look to continue their momentum, trying to become the first team to ever come back from an 0-3 series deficit.

Adebayo recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-99 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although Adebayo was successful in keeping Boston's frontcourt at bay over the first three games of the series, he looked like a shell of himself in the Game 4 loss. Although some calls didn't go his way, they wouldn't have made much of a difference in his final result, which was well below his playoff average of 17.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

Horford provided 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-99 win over Miami in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Horford's best scoring total of the series came at the right time, as the Boston frontcourt held steady in the do-or-die contest. The veteran struggled through tepid scoring and below-average rebounding over the first three games against the Heat, but Game 4 was a significant turnaround despite him almost fouling out. Although Horford isn't known for long-range proficiency, he nailed three of six attempts beyond the arc in the blowout.

Davis provided 21 points (6-15 FG, 9-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 113-111 loss to the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Davis hauled in a team-high rebound total en route to posting a 20-point, 10 rebound performance for the third time of the Western Conference Finals series. Davis recorded a double-double in 13 of 16 postseason appearances.

Jokic supplied 30 points (11-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, three blocks and one steal across 45 minutes during Monday's 113-111 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Jokic led the team in scoring, rebounds, assists, blocks and minutes played while finishing with a triple-double in a series-clinching Game 4 win Monday. Jokic posted a triple-double in three of the four games against the Lakers and now has eight such performances this postseason.

Vanderbilt isn't in the starting five for Monday's Game 4 against Denver, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Rui Hachimura will replace Vanderbilt in the starting lineup Monday. Vanderbilt is averaging 2.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes across the first three games of the series.

Davis (foot) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis and LeBron James will play Monday despite both players dealing with nagging foot injuries. Davis will likely play big minutes in Game 4 with Los Angeles on the brink of elimination.

Davis (foot) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Davis continues to deal with his right foot stress injury, but he's been able to suit up recently and will likely do so again Monday as the Lakers attempt to avoid elimination. He's averaged 28.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 blocks in 41.7 minutes per game over the first three games of the series.

Bamba (ankle) is no longer listed on the Lakers' injury report, so he should be good to go for Game 4 against Denver on Monday.

After missing nine consecutive games due to injury, Bamba will be available for Monday's must-win game versus the Nuggets. Despite looking on track to play, it remains to be seen whether the big man will make his way into the rotation, especially considering his limited play over the last month and the magnitude of this game. Bamba will likely serve as a rotational piece to match up with Nikola Jokic if he does see time.
