  • Will play in Game 4
    Davis (wrist) will play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Davis popped up as questionable on the injury report with a left wrist sprain after previously battling a back injury and some soreness in both heels. But with Los Angeles' season on the line, Davis will continue to push through his ailments. Rotowire.com Today, 3:55 pm
     
  • 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
     
  • Won't play Sunday
    Livingston (illness) will not play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston has rarely seen the floor for the Bucks this season, as he averaged 4.3 minutes across 21 regular season appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:42 pm
     
  • Out for Game 4
    Prosper (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Clippers.

    Advice: Prosper will sit out for a second straight game Sunday. He's not typically in the rotation for Dallas, so there aren't many fantasy implications here. Rotowire.com Today, 3:39 pm
     
  • CJ McCollum produces 16/5/7/2/1 line in loss
    CJ McCollum struggled with his shot but still contributed 16 points (7-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, two triples and six turnovers against the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: McCollum may have produced solid value in the box score, but this wasn’t an efficient performance for him. He started 1-of-10 from the floor, and he accounted for six of the team’s 20 turnovers. New Orleans has needed more out of McCollum with Zion Williamson sidelined, but that hasn’t happened. They’ll host the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday, and McCollum will have to be much better than he was in this one if they want to avoid the sweep and keep their season alive.

  • Doubtful for Game 4
    Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers,

    Advice: A report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Friday hinted at this, but now the Bucks have officially listed Lillard as doubtful on their injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so the Bucks will need guys like Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez to step up offensively. Rotowire.com Today, 3:31 pm
     
  • Brandon Ingram leads Pelis with 19 points in loss
    Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 19 points (7-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two triples in a 106-85 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 on Saturday.

    Advice: With Zion Williamson sidelined, the Pelicans have needed BI to put the team on his back. He simply hasn’t been able to do that. He is averaging 18.3 points per game in this series, which isn’t All-Star level production. They’re now down 3-0 in this series, and they’ll need Ingram to step up his aggressiveness in Game 4 on Monday if they want to extend this series. He made 50% of his shots in this game after shooting 50% in Game 2 as well. They simply need him to shoot more, which is something that Lu Dort hasn’t made easy. Rotoworld Today, 3:31 pm
     
  • Jalen Williams tallies 21/9/5/2 line in Game 3
    Jalen Williams posted a solid line on Saturday with 21 points (9-of-16 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and three triples against the Pelicans.

    Advice: JDub came out of the game early after getting poked in the eye, but he was able to return quickly and make a big impact on this game. Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey combined to score 66 of OKC’s 106 points in this game, and the Pelicans didn’t have an answer for the second straight game. Williams has been really solid through the first three games of his playoff career, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’ll look to keep it going in Game 4 to try and close out the series on Monday. Rotoworld Today, 3:25 pm
     
  • Josh Giddey produces 21/8/6/1 line with 4 triples
    Josh Giddey stuffed the stat sheet on Saturday and finished with 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against the Pelicans in Game 3.

    Advice: Giddey played better in Game 2 than he did in Game 1, and he was even better in this one. He produced a solid stat line, and he was a threat from beyond the arc, which has been a weakness for the team. If Giddey can consistently knock down open shots, they’ll be a difficult team to slow down during this postseason. It is unlikely that he will continue to be this productive as a scorer, but he was an important piece in their big win on Saturday. If he can have another game like this, they won’t have any issues closing this series out in Game 4 on Monday. Rotoworld Today, 3:19 pm
