Robert Covington (head) plays just 24 minutes in Game 4 loss

Robert Covington (head) played just 24 minutes in Thursday's Game 4 loss, scoring three points and grabbing two steals.

It's unclear whether Covington was slowed down by headaches despite passing all the concussion protocols from the elbow he took in Game 3. The Rockets will definitely need him to do more in the next game.

Jaylen Brown
SG, Boston Celtics

Jaylen Brown scored 21 points (8-of-14 FG, 4-of-7 3PT) and grabbed nine rebounds along with two assists, a steal and a block as the Celtics went down 3-1 to the Heat on Wednesday.

Brown was solid as ever in Game 4 with his only black mark being four turnovers. Through these playoffs he's demonstrated his skill in the mid-range and been incredibly reliable as a 3-point shooter from the corner. His shooting from deep was one of the most meaningful improvements he made in his game this year, increasing his accuracy from 34% to 38%. Brown's defense is consistently lauded but it's his rise on the offensive end that's helped the Celtics get this far.

Jayson Tatum
SF, Boston Celtics

Jayson Tatum went scoreless in the first half on Wednesday, but woke up in the third quarter and ended with 28 points (10-of-22 FG, 4-of-11 3PT), nine rebounds, four assists, a steal and three blocks.

Tatum had a brutal first half, missing every shot and turning the ball over frequently. Once he finally woke up and started hitting shots, he was almost able to salvage a messy game. Unfortunately his turnovers and foul trouble continued to hamper the Celtics’ comeback. Despite how sloppy his game was overall he demonstrated a lot of poise in the final minutes and hit multiple clutch threes to give his team a chance at tieing the series. He'll need to replicate that fourth quarter performance over three games if he wants to save the Celtics from elimination.

Jimmy Butler
SG, Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler posted 24 points on 8-of-20 shooting along with nine rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block on Wednesday to put the Heat on the cusp of the NBA finals.

The talk coming out of Game 3 was that Butler needed to be more aggressive on offense. He certainly took more shots tonight than in the prior three games but missed the majority and clearly began deferring to Tyler Herro, who was on fire offensively. The Heat are a game away from the finals with Butler playing a more supportive style, so critiques of his play seem to justifiably be falling on deaf ears.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo finished Wednesday’s win with 20 points (7-of-11 FG, 6-of-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals but seemed to injure his left wrist during the fourth quarter.

Update:

Adebayo got tangled up with Jaylen Brown during the final quarter and was in visible pain for the rest of the game. He was gripping his left wrist and barely moving his left arm at all. Following the game Erik Spoelstra said that Bam was heavily icing his body. Hopefully it was just surface-level pain and he'll be good to go for the Heat's match point on Friday.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro dropped a career-high 37 points (14-of-21 shooting) alongside six rebounds, three assists and five triples in Wednesday’s 112-109 win over the Celtics.

Herro had an incredible game and legitimately looked like the Heat’s star player tonight. He was often the primary ball-handler on offense and showed off superb synergy with both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. This was the best game of Herro’s playoff career and comes off the back of another great performance in game 3. Herro was ranked outside the top-150 during the regular season, but if his playoff performance is anything to go off of, we could be talking about him as one of Miami’s star players as early as next season.
