Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves finished with 31 points, two rebounds, and six assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's Game 2 loss to Oklahoma City. He bounced back from an eight-point Game 1 dud, shooting 10-for-16 from the field while adding three three-pointers and eight free throws. The scoring and playmaking keep him firmly in DFS consideration, but the five turnovers add some risk. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) unlikely to return this round, Reaves and LeBron James will need to carry the offense, while Rui Hachimura remains a useful floor-spacing option.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren delivered 22 points, nine rebounds, three assists, four steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-107 Game 2 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The former second-overall pick tied Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the team lead in scoring on 7-for-11 shooting, including 3-for-5 from three and 5-for-7 at the line. Holmgren stepped up after Gilgeous-Alexander exited early in the third, helping Oklahoma City flip a one-point halftime deficit into a 93-80 cushion heading to the fourth. Head coach Mark Daigneault called him "unbelievable" postgame, and Austin Reaves' playoff career-high 31 points wasn't enough for the Lakers. The Thunder lead the series 2-0 ahead of Saturday's Game 3 in Los Angeles.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 21 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 33-year-old shot 9-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-3 from three and 1-for-2 at the line, finishing as Detroit's second-leading scorer behind Cade Cunningham. Cunningham led all scorers with 25 points and 10 assists, including 12 in the fourth quarter to put the game away, while Duncan Robinson added 17 points on 5-for-9 from deep. The top-seeded Pistons have now won five straight games and lead the second-round series 2-0, with Game 3 set for Saturday in Cleveland.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham had 25 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two blocks in Thursday's 107-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former No. 1 overall pick shot 7-for-14 from the field, 3-for-6 from three-point range, and 8-for-8 at the free-throw line across 42 minutes. Cunningham did his best work late, scoring 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tobias Harris added 21 points, while Duncan Robinson made five threes. Cunningham will look to keep control of the series when Game 3 shifts to Cleveland on Saturday.
