    • Doubtful for Game 4
      Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since missing the final three games of the regular season. Coach Doc Rivers hinted that Antetokounmpo is ramping up towards a return, but he wasn't optimistic about the forward returning for Sunday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:54 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo doubtful to play in Game 4
      Doc Rivers said that he “doubts” that Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) will play in Game 4 against Indiana on Sunday.

      Advice: Rivers did say that Giannis will work out early on Sunday before they decide if he will play in Game 4, so there is still certainly a chance. However, Rivers was pessimistic about the odds. Bobby Portis should continue to start at power forward in his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:03 am
       
    • Scores team-high 28 points Friday
      Beal finished Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 28 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Beal led the Suns in scoring Friday, but as has been the case throughout the series, Phoenix simply hasn't been able to hang with the Timberwolves throughout an entire game, which explains the 0-3 series deficit the Suns are currently in. This was the first team Beal surpassed the 15-point mark in the series, and the veteran guard will need to keep the momentum going for Game 4 on Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round.

    • James Harden leads LAC with 21/2/5/2/1 line
      James Harden led the Clippers with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, five triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 loss to Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Harden tied Norman Powell as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. Harden was also able to contribute value across the board, though it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. He played 44 minutes in this game, which Tyronn Lue said was a result of Paul George being in foul trouble. Harden is still an effective player, but he’s going to need George to be better if they want to win this series without a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Harden will look to keep this production up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Dereck Lively II chips in 13 points off bench
      Dereck Lively II provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (6-of-8 FGs), two rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes against the Clippers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Lively only played nine minutes in Game 2 and ended up missing practice on Thursday because of some soreness in his lower back. However, he was able to play in Game 3, and he was able to make an impact off the bench. He scored all 13 of his points in the first half, which included five dunks. This was a solid game for the rookie, but Dallas will likely continue to lean on Daniel Gafford for most the center minutes. Rotoworld Friday, 8:17 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) officially out Friday
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Pacers.

      Advice: Giannis will miss a third straight playoff game as the series with the Pacers shifts to Indiana. Bobby Portis usually balls out when Giannis is sidelined, and Portis will be expected to shoulder a heftier load once again. Rotoworld Friday, 10:26 am
       
    • Officially ruled out
      Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo was doubtful on Milwaukee's initial injury report, and he'll officially miss a sixth consecutive game as the team attempts to regain a lead in the first-round series. His next chance to suit up will be in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:33 am
       
    • Carries Denver to Game 3 win
      Gordon posted 29 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Nikola Jokic finished just one assist away from a triple-double, and Jamal Murray had another impressive showing, but the Nuggets came through in Game 3 thanks to the energy and tenacity of Gordon, who stepped his game up when Denver needed him the most, especially in the third quarter. The 29-point output was Gordon's second-best scoring mark of the entire campaign, and he's averaging a solid 18.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game through the first three games of the series against the Lakers.

    • Aaron Gordon records 29/15/3/1 line in Game 3 win
      Aaron Gordon shot 12-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers, accounting for 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Gordon was outstanding in Game 3, leading Denver to its 11th straight win over the Lakers (regular season and playoffs). He established playoff career-highs in points and rebounds, and five of his 15 boards were of the offensive variety. All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters scored at least 20 points, with Michael Porter Jr. adding 20 along with 10 rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers. Denver will look to close out the Lakers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:43 pm
