James Johnson uncertain for Thursday night

James Johnson
PF, Miami Heat

James Johnson (conditioning) is questionable for Thursday night's game and the Heat are providing no further updates on his status.

We wish we didn't have to update such a marginal player's status daily, but the Heat have chosen to remain coy about Johnson's status since he reported to camp overweight more than a month ago. If and when Johnson rejoins the rotation, he will take on more of a low-minute mentorship role. The one thing Johnson is worse at than mentoring is being a productive member of your fantasy squad, so take this and any further updates with a grain of salt.

Kemba Walker
PG, Boston Celtics

Kemba Walker dropped 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting, including three treys, adding two rebounds and five assists on Sunday as the Celtics fell to the Heat 113-125 in Game 6.

Walker scored as usual but his being a defensive liability was on display in key mismatches at points in the game. He and the rest of the Celtics’ young core of players will now have to regroup and hopefully, come back hungrier for that ever-elusive and highly-coveted NBA title.

Marcus Smart
PG, Boston Celtics

Marcus Smart led the Celtics with four 3-pointers made en route to his 20 points on 8-of-22 shooting in Sunday’s Game 6 loss to the Heat.

Smart, as expected, was a beast on both ends of the floor. He chipped in eight rebounds, two assists and two steals, but his valiant effort was not enough to push his team over the top and force a Game 7. He played extremely well in the playoffs and in this series in particular, emerging as more of a two-way threat than just a defensive stopper.

Jaylen Brown
SG, Boston Celtics

Jaylen Brown played well in Sunday's Game 6 loss to the Heat, tallying a team-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting.

Brown left it all on the line, adding eight boards, three treys, four dimes and three steals to the stat sheet in what was a heartbreaking loss to the fifth-seed in the East. The Celtics will now have to take a breath, leave the bubble to go home to their families and regroup. Regardless of tonight's end result, the Celtics are a legitimate ECF contender for years to come.

Jayson Tatum
SF, Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum double-doubled in the Celtics' playoff finalé on Sunday, posting 24 points on 9-of-26 shooting, adding 11 assists, seven rebounds, three triples, two steals and one block as his team fell to the Heat in Game 6.

Tatum played hard and tried his best to get his teammates involved. He was one of four Celtics who scored 20 points or more, so he made it work. Unfortunately, the Heat got solid production from their role-players as well and kept the game just outside of Celtic reach down the stretch.

Duncan Robinson
F, Miami Heat

Duncan Robinson did his thing, shooting 5-of-8 from the field (5-of-7 from deep), torching the Celtics on Sunday with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal.

This is the kind of game that the Heat will need from Robinson, whose floor-spacing prowess will be an X-factor vs. the Lakers. Speaking of X-factors, Andre Iguodala got into his playoff mode in full force in this game with 5-for-5 shooting from the field (4-for-4 from downtown), adding three rebounds, one assist and two steals for 15 points of his own. Both of these role-players' games will be must-watch aspects of Miami's title run.
