Brice Turang drove in two runs while going 3-for-5 in Wednesday’s loss for the Brewers to the Giants.

3 weeks ago

Turang got the Brewers back into it with a two-run double in the ninth inning off Ryan Walker. The 25-year-old also singled twice, and he’s now hitting a nifty .350/.385/.450 on the season. Turang appears to be living up to the hype he showed as a prep, and while there’s no reason to think he’ll put up this kind of slash in 2025, it’s not hard to fathom he can be a multiple-category contributor as well. The steals are definitely going to be there, anyway.

Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 28 points (11-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in a 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 on Wednesday.

This wasn’t a great series for Podziemski, but he ended it on a high note. He set a new playoff career high for points and still contributed value in other categories across the board. Podz has solidified his spot in the starting lineup with the way the roster is currently constructed. He should be an enticing pick in fantasy drafts next season, especially if the Warriors lean on him for more production to keep Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green fresh for the postseason.

Jonathan Kuminga provided a boost off the bench with 26 points (11-of-23 FGs), three rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

For a player that was out of the rotation at times during this postseason, Kuminga may have earned himself a nice payday in the final four games of this series. Head coach Steve Kerr needed offense with Stephen Curry (hamstring) sidelined, and Kuminga was able to fill the void. He averaged 24.3 points on 55.4 percent shooting in Games 2-5. Kuminga is set to be a restricted free agent, and even if it isn’t the Warriors handing him a big contract, the 22-year-old should be able to find a team to pay him.

Jimmy Butler logged 42 minutes in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday and contributed 17 points (4-of-11 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and three steals.

18 minutes ago

Butler’s first season with the Warriors came to a disappointing conclusion. They were one of the best teams after acquiring Butler and won Game 1 of the second round. Unfortunately, a Stephen Curry hamstring injury ended their championship hopes, though Curry may have been able to return for Game 6 if the series was still going. Butler will be 36 at the start of next season, and he will likely continue to put an emphasis on rest during the regular season to make sure he’s healthy to help Golden State make another playoff push next year.

Mike Conley finished with 16 points (5-of-7 FGs), six rebounds, eight assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Game 5 against the Warriors on Wednesday.

24 minutes ago

Conley has been a consistent starter for most of the season, but he hasn’t been productive in the box score, especially during the postseason. However, he changed that on Wednesday. He set new highs for points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers during these playoffs as Minnesota closed out their series with Golden State to return to the Western Conference Finals. Conley will continue to start, but it’s unlikely that he replicates this production in the next round.

Anthony Edwards stuffed the stat sheet on Wednesday with 22 points (8-of-15 FGs), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, three blocks, five three-pointers and seven turnovers in a Game 5 win over the Warriors.

28 minutes ago

The turnovers weren’t pretty, but everything else went right for Edwards in Game 5 as Minnesota completed their second straight gentlemen’s sweep. He didn’t score 30 points, which he had done in the two games in Golden State, but Edwards did dish out a new playoff career high for assists in a new game, which also matches his career high for dimes in the regular season. This was a fantastic performance for Edwards, even if he didn’t dominate as a scorer. He’ll need to continue to play at a high level in the Western Conference Finals, whether it is against Oklahoma City or Denver.

Julius Randle led the Timberwolves with 29 points (13-of-18 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 121-110 win over the Warriors in Game 5 on Wednesday.

36 minutes ago

Randle played at a high level in the first round, but he was dominant in the gentlemen’s sweep of the Warriors. He struggled in Game 1, which Minnesota dropped, but during the final four games of the series, Randle averaged 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.8 assists, one steal and two triples while making 55.7 percent of his shots. Turnovers were still an issue, but they didn’t prevent the Timberwolves for winning four straight games. They’ll now await the winner of the Thunder-Nuggets series, and if Randle continues to play like this, Minnesota will have a chance to make the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
