    • Fails to score Saturday
      Ryan amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over three minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Ryan failed to score in his three minutes, adding to what was a terrible night for the Pelicans. Playing in front of their home fans, the team offered little resistance. Now on the brink of elimination, New Orleans will look to turn things around Monday, in the hope of sending the series back to Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Today, 5:22 pm
       
    • Rare appearance in loss
      Liddell amassed one rebound in three minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Liddell saw rare playing time in the loss, as the Pelicans were blown out on their home court. The fact that he was in the rotation tells you everything you need to know about where the Pelicans are at right now. They will look to salvage some pride when the two teams face off again in Game 4, also in New Orleans. Rotowire.com Today, 5:19 pm
       
    • Struggles continue Saturday
      Hayward had four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Saturday's 106-85 victory over the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Hayward continues to be nothing more than a depth piece for the Thunder, logging just eight minutes in the victory. While he does provide the team with a veteran presence, Hayward is not viewed as a key on-court piece. Rotowire.com Today, 5:17 pm
       
    • Tyler Herro struggles, finishes with 15 points
      Tyler Herro shot 5-of-16 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s Game 3 loss to the Celtics, accounting for 15 points, two rebounds, two assists, and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: The road team has recently dominated the Celtics/Heat series, and Saturday was no exception. After going off in Miami’s Game 2 victory, Herro was held in check, shooting 2-of-7 from two and finishing with nearly as many turnovers (four) as made baskets (five). The Head didn’t get much from Caleb Martin, either, as he finished with five points, three rebounds, two assists, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes. Miami will need more production from Herro and Martin if they’re to win Game 4, which is on Monday night. Rotoworld Today, 5:15 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (ankle) available for Game 4 Sat.
      Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

      Advice: Jackson is available after spraining his ankle during the first half of Thursday’s Game 3 victory. He was considered questionable to return to that game but never did, hence the questions surrounding his status for Game 4. Jackson will continue to serve as Jamal Murray’s backup, which limits his DFS value. Rotoworld Today, 4:52 pm
       
    • Available to play
      Jackson (ankle) is available to play in Saturday's Game 4 versus the Lakers.

      Advice: Jackson was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, as he left the Nuggets' Game 3 win Thursday in the third quarter and was unable to return due to a minor ankle tweak. He's expected to see his usual minutes as Denver's backup point guard Saturday night. Rotowire.com Today, 4:52 pm
       
    • Will play Saturday
      Wood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:56 pm
       
    • Christian Wood (knee) will play in Game 4 vs. DEN
      Christian Wood (left knee surgery) will make his return to lineup for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday.

      Advice: Wood will be available to play for the first time since before the All-Star break. However, Jaxson Hayes wasn’t in the rotation in Game 3, and they may not want to include Wood in their rotation in an elimination game. He will be available if needed, but he may not see the floor.

    • Larry Nance chips in 9/13/5/2 line off bench
      Larry Nance provided a boost off the bench with nine points (3-of-6 FGs), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one triple in Game 3 against the Thunder on Saturday.

      Advice: Jonas Valanciunas only logged 12 minutes as the starting center in this game as Willie Green opted to roll with Larry Nance in a smaller lineup. Nance ended up having an excellent performance, though it didn’t end up having much of an impact on the scoreboard. JV played 29 minutes in Game 1 and 23 minutes in Game 2, so we’ll see if Green continues to use Nance heavily in Game 4. Nance isn’t much of a fantasy contributor, but he is a really solid depth piece for the Pelicans. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 pm
