    • Dean Wade (knee) available Saturday vs. Boston
      Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is available for Saturday’s matchup with the Celtics.

      Advice: Wade’s last appearance was on March 8, so it’s unclear how much playing time he’ll get following the extended layoff. At the very least, he’ll add some depth to Cleveland’s forward rotation. The Kansas State product averaged 5.4 points, 4.0 boards and 1.5 triples across 20.5 minutes in the 2023-24 regular season.

    • Good to go Saturday
      Wade (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

      Advice: Wade has been sidelined since March 8, but he made it through warmups without any setbacks and is officially good to go. Jarrett Allen (ribs) remains out, however. It will be interesting to see what type of role Wade plays after being sidelined so long. Rotowire.com Today, 4:46 pm
       
    • Starts second half
      Gafford (shoulder) has returned for the second half of Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Gafford briefly went to the locker room in the second quarter grabbing at his left shoulder but was able to take the floor for the second half. If he's restricted due to the injury, Dereck Lively would be next in line for minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves with a right abdominal contusion.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope will land a questionable designation for a second consecutive contest due to a bruised abdomen. He was able to play through the injury in Game 3 and logged 37 minutes, so there should be a level of optimism ahead of Sunday's tilt. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm
       
    • Heads to locker room
      Gafford exited in the second quarter of Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday with a left shoulder injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: An injury to Gafford could be devastating for the Mavericks, as he's been a solid contributor down low for Dallas. If he's unable to return, then Dereck Lively would be in line for a bigger role. Rotowire.com Today, 1:46 pm
       
    • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable Sun.
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: While he hasn’t been healthy, Caldwell-Pope has continued to play starters’ minutes as the Nuggets look to repeat as champions. Look for him to do the same on Sunday, as KCP is Denver’s best option to defend Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns hits four 3-pointers, scores 14
      Karl-Anthony Towns accumulated 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets.

      Advice: The good news for Towns is that he shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. The bad is that he attempted seven shots overall, which is inexcusable for an offensive talent of his caliber. Friday’s game was the first in which KAT failed to reach double figures since Game 2 of Minnesota’s first-round sweep of the Suns. While the Timberwolves could get away with that against Phoenix, the reigning champs are different. Towns needs to be more aggressive in Game 4 on Sunday night, with the Timberwolves still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Leader from deep in Game 3 loss
      Towns posted 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes in Friday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Towns didn't get much going offensively outside of connecting on a team-high mark from three, ending the contest as one of four players with a double-digit point total to go along with a handful of rebounds in a losing effort. Towns failed to reach the 15-point mark for just the second time this postseason, and he had scored at least 20 points in each of the first two games against Denver. Towns may have to come out in Game 4 looking for more opportunities offensively and displaying more aggressiveness if Minnesota wants to take a commanding 3-1 series advantage.

    • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) available Friday
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is available for Friday’s Game 3 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope struggled in the first two games, both Denver losses, as he has not been at full strength health-wise. In addition to needing to knock down open shots, the Nuggets are asking KCP to take on the difficult task of defending Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:48 pm
