Williams is back after a one game absence, which will push Nick Richards back to a role off the bench. Richards should still see minutes, but it won’t be enough for him to contribute standard league value. PJ Washington will also lose out on a few minutes off the bench.

Fox fell one assist shy of a double-double, but he was still able to make a big impact on offense. He was quiet in the first three games of the series, but he got things going on offense over the last two, with averages of 24.5 points, 8.0 assists and 3.0 triples while shooting 61.3 percent from the floor. It is good to see him figure things out before the second round, which will be against either the Nuggets or the Timberwolves, depending on how that series finishes.

Wembanyama didn’t do much scoring in this game, but he was still able to make a monster impact. He dominated that glass and continued to swat plenty of shots; over the final two games of this series, Wemby recorded 13 blocks. Clearly, the concussion doesn’t seem to be bothering him, and with this series over, he’ll get some extra time to get back to full strength before the second round beings. They’ll await the winners of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series.

Champagnie got off to a hot start, scoring 14 points in the first half alone. He didn’t contribute much after the break, but he was still able to have a strong night, which was enough to help the Spurs secure the win and advance to the second round. This was Champagnie’s first double-digit outing of the postseason, which was a nice boost, though he likely won’t continue to produce to this level consistently.

Avdija enjoyed a breakout season, which led to his first All-Star appearance. He also guided the Blazers back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021, though that season has now come to a close. He was red-hot entering the playoffs, but the top-tier Spurs defense made things difficult for him, which limited his production. Avdija was selected in the fifth round in Yahoo! leagues, but it will likely take an earlier selection to nab him in fantasy drafts next season.

It has been a few seasons since Williams was playing a full-time role, but he is a player that can make a massive impact in limited minutes. That was on full display in this series, and while it wasn’t enough for the Trail Blazers to pull the upset, he is clearly still a valuable player. He’s set to be a free agent this summer, which will be a complex situation, given his injury history. Wherever he ends up, he’ll likely make a big impact on a value contract.

Henderson’s first playoff appearance had some good moments but ended on a sour note. Through the first three games, he averaged 23.3 points and 4.0 triples, which had many people thinking he was finally showing some of the potential that made him the No. 3 pick in 2023. However, he was held scoreless in Game 4, and while he was able to get some points on the board in this one, he was benched for the end of the game and limited to 17 minutes. Henderson is still only 22 years old and has plenty of time to figure things out, but he’s going to have to make a major leap heading into next season to convince the Blazers he’s still an important part of their future.

Anunoby has been excellent all series, and he has made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He has averaged 20 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 triples while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor through the first five games, which includes a double-double in both Games 4 and 5. He should continue to make a massive impact in Game 6 on Thursday as the Knicks look to close out the series.

The Hawks haven’t had much of an answer for KAT during this series, but the Knicks have leaned even heavier on him over the last two games, specifically as a playmaker, which has really opened things up for New York. They’ll continue to lean on him in Game 6 on Thursday, which should lead to a lot more box score production for him, and if things go how they did in this game, that’ll be enough to close out the series.

Brunson has made some big plays in this series and has had strong stretches, but his production overall has been subpar. However, this was by far his best performance, and the Hawks simply didn’t have an answer. He dominated this game and hit multiple big shots in the fourth quarter to put this game away and give the Knicks all the momentum heading into Game 6. If Brunson is playing at this level, the Knicks will have a chance to make a deep run this postseason.

Okongwu continues to produce stat lines that play well for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he has struggled to compete down low against Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson, which is why the Knicks outrebounded the Hawks 48-27. Okongwu is effective in many ways, but his struggles in the paint against bigger players have been evident in this series. He’ll need to be better in Game 6 for the Hawks to have a chance.
