Mitchell Robinson - Shut down for second halfCoach Tom Thibodeau said after Sunday's win over the Bulls that Robinson (ankle) wasn't available in the second half, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.
ImpactRobinson finished Sunday's win scoreless with one rebound in seven minutes of action before being shut down. It was especially disappointing to see the big man unavailable after he posted 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes during Friday's win over Brooklyn, which was by far his most productive outing since returning from a 50-game. Even if Robinson is cleared for the playoffs, he figures to remain in a limited bench role behind Isaiah Hartenstein.

Josh Hart - Double-doubles in OT win SundayHart posted 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime win over the Bulls.
ImpactHart finished the regular season posting double-doubles in three of his last four appearances. Even though he's not the most reliable scorer, and the majority of his eye-popping stats came on the rebounding column, Hart still scored in his last four regular-season contests, creating some kind of momentum toward New York's first-round playoff matchup against a yet-to-be-determined opponent. Hart also recorded 20 double-doubles on the season.

Donte DiVincenzo - Goes for 25 points SundayDiVincenzo accumulated 25 points (10-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 53 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime victory over the Bulls.
ImpactDiVincenzo thrived in a starting role this season and became more and more important due to his ability from beyond the arc, as he drained triples at a career-high rate in both volume and efficiency in 2023-24. The 25-point outing Sunday was his 13th outing reaching such plateau, and he also drained five or more threes in 24 different appearances.
