The main read from Vegas

Thomas' week has moved from good second-round story to the most productive scoring stretch of the tournament. NBA.com's Day 5 standouts file had him at 35 against Miami one night after scoring 30 against Detroit, and the Cavaliers' own recap gave the shooting detail: 14-for-23 overall, 5-for-9 from deep, plus two steals. 9 1
Atlanta had the strongest team signal. Johnson's 30 came off the bench, Veesaar added 20, and the Hawks moved to 3-0 while No. 7 pick Kingston Flemings got the day off. That matters because it came from depth, not only from one lottery headliner. 5 10
The most useful late-game reps belonged to Toronto and Phoenix. Lundy's block saved a one-point Raptors win after Indiana had the last real possession. Phoenix got a different version of the same test: down three with 2:30 left, the Suns closed Milwaukee 11-1 behind Maluach, Koa Peat and Koby Brea. 4 8

Roster and availability notes

The confirmed transaction file was lighter than the game board. San Antonio Spurs guard Jordan McLaughlin agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million return, and Los Angeles Lakers forward Ziaire Williams agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal. ESPN's live offseason file also reported that Golden State Warriors players have been pitching LeBron James, but that item remains recruitment context, not a completed move. 11
The availability read is now more about Summer League workload than standard injury reporting. Peterson rested for Utah, Flemings rested for Atlanta, and Miami second-round pick Ryan Conwell sat out with a hip injury. Those absences are enough to watch the next slate carefully before treating any prospect matchup as locked in. 7 10 1
