Lauri Markkanen limited to nine points in loss

Lauri Markkanen
PF, Chicago Bulls

Lauri Markkanen had a forgettable showing on Saturday, shooting 3-of-10 from the field en route to nine points, seven boards, one assist, one 3 and three steals in 30 minutes.

Markkanen is suddenly ice-cold after starting the season hot with 35 points vs. the Hornets. He's going to have his ups and downs but should settle into a mid-round value groove as the season progresses.

Dylan Windler
SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Dylan Windler, who missed his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery for a stress reaction in his left tibia, is cleared for 5-on-5 play.

Windler became a bit of a forgotten man since he didn't touch the floor after September, but Cleveland's upcoming mini-camp will be a chance for him to establish his footing again. He's a name to remember for next season's deep-league drafts with the Cavs likely to make minutes available for any young player with potential. Windler shouldn't be considered a lock for the rotation just yet, however, so hopefully his time in the Cavs bubble goes well.

Jimmy Butler
SG, Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler hit 6-of-13 shots from the field and 5-of-6 shots from the line to end Saturday night's Game 3 loss to the Celtics with 17 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

This was an on-par performance from Butler, who clearly needs to crank things up a notch in Game 4 if the Heat want to secure that third win in the series. He's been a great leader for the Heat so far, so there's no doubt that he'll be able to set a context of urgency in the next one. Count on it.

Goran Dragic
PG, Miami Heat

Goran Dragic got the full-blown Celtics defensive treatment on Saturday and buckled under the pressure, shooting just 2-of-10 from the field to finish the night with 11 points, one 3-pointer, one rebound and five assists.

Dragic has been able to turn back the clock and play like he's in his prime in the playoffs, at least up until tonight's game. The Celtics' effort in slowing him down proved to be a big factor in their win. Dragic will have to find a way to shake it off and come back fresh and firing on all cylinders come Game 4.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro was a sight for sore eyes as he chipped in 22 points (8-of-18 shooting) off the bench in Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Celtics.

Herro hit four triples to go along with his three rebounds, four assists and one steal tonight. He made the most of his 36 minutes on the floor and came up big when Boston's defense was smothering Duncan Robinson, who by the way, was able to end the night with 13 points, one rebound, two assists and four treys of his own.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo was amazing in Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Celtics, putting up 27 points (10-of-14 FG, 7-of-9 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in 38 minutes.

There's little to complain about with Adebayo's performance. He played well on defense and was crashing the boards like his life depended on it. He leaned on his crazy athleticism to make it happen on the offensive end, coming up with a team-high scoring effort in the process. He's going to need a lot more help, if the Heat want to close out this series before the Celtics muster any more momentum moving forward.
