  • Grayson Allen (ankle) downgraded to out Friday
    Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) has been downgraded to out for Game 3 against Minnesota on Friday.

    Advice: Allen injured his ankle in Game 1, but he was able to suit up for Game 2. He injured is again in that game, and it will keep him sidelined as the series shifts to Phoenix. Eric Gordon or Royce O’Neale should start in his place, with both seeing extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 6:43 pm
     
  • Won't play Friday
    Allen (ankle) will not play in Friday's Game 3 versus the Timberwolves.

    Advice: This is a tough blow for the Suns, as Allen has been key to Phoenix's floor spacing this season. He was able to get in a limited practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, so the Suns could potentially get him back for Game 4 on Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run in the meantime. Rotowire.com Today, 6:39 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton ices Game 3 with floater

    Advice: Haliburton didn’t score much throughout the game, but he came up big when they needed him to. He struggled with his deep-range shot (1-of-12), so he chose to attack the basket with the game tied in overtime. He ended up knocking down a floater and converting the and-one to give them a 3-point victory. This was just the fourth playoff triple-double in franchise histroy, which was enough to help them take a 2-1 lead in the series. He may not have many big scoring nights in this series, but he has 36 assists through three games and has peovided them with a ton of offense. Rotoworld Today, 6:20 pm
     
  • Steps up late in triple-double game

    Advice: Haliburton did a little bit of everything for Indiana in an overtime victory to break a series tie, including hitting the game-winning shot with 1.6 seconds remaining to put a cap on an impressive triple-double performance. Despite struggling from three, Haliburton led all players in Friday's contest in assists while leading the Pacers in rebounds and ending two points shy of the 20-point mark. Haliburton recorded his first triple-double of the postseason so far, tallying at least 10 points and 10 dimes in two games in the quarterfinals. Rotowire.com Today, 5:48 pm

  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) active Friday vs. Mavericks
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as active for the Clippers’ Friday meeting with the Mavericks.

  • Good to go for Game 3
    Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

With the series tied at 1-1, Leonard's health and impact will be key to the Clippers' success. Despite suiting up for back-to-back games, the questionable tag may stick with Leonard for the rest of the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
