  • 99-73-8 3rd Place
    • Puts up 25 points in loss Friday
      Durant had 25 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Durant bounced back from a subpar showing in Game 2, at least for his lofty standards, and he had a strong showing in Game 3, but once again, his contributions were not enough to lift the Suns to victory as Phoenix fell into an 0-3 deficit. Durant will need to be at his best if the Suns want to avoid the sweep in Game 4 on Sunday. He's averaging 24.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the series.

    • Double-doubles in Game 3
      Towns registered 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 126-109 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Towns needed 16 shots to score 18 points, but he still made his presence felt and looked active on the glass, grabbing double-digit boards despite being limited to just 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Towns has adjusted well to life operating as Minnesota's second offensive option behind Anthony Edwards, but he remains extremely valuable in fantasy as a two-way big man who can shoot threes at an above-average rate. He's averaging 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in the current series while shooting an elite 45.5 percent (5-for-11) from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns records double-double in 24 min
      Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double on Friday with 18 points (7-of-16 FGs), 13 rebounds, two assists and three 3-pointers against the Suns in Game 3.

      Advice: KAT dealt with some foul trouble early in this game, which limited him to just 24 minutes of playing time. However, he was still able to turn in an effective stat line. He has committed 12 fouls in three games despite averaging just 25 minutes per game. They’re still monitoring his minutes after his extended absence, but he should play more if he stays out of foul trouble. It hasn’t hurt them yet, but it isn’t something that he can continue to do in the next round, where they’ll likely face off against Denver, barring the first ever 3-0 comeback in NBA history.

    • Ejected in Game 3 win
      Washington chipped in 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 34 minutes before getting ejected from Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Washington was ejected following a scuffle with Russell Westbrook, much to the delight of the home fans. While losing a player is never a good thing, his energy and willingness to not back down proved a hit with the Dallas faithful. Before his premature exit, Washington managed to put together another strong performance. He will look to maintain that energy heading into Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) limited to 25 minutes in G3
      Kawhi Leonard only played 25 minutes on Friday and finished with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), nine rebounds and two assists against the Mavericks in Game 3.

      Advice: After the game, head coach Tyronn Lue said that Kawhi is “still dealing with knee inflammation that the team has to manage”. He also said that he believes that Leonard will be able to suit up for Game 4 on Sunday. It would be surprising if he wasn’t at least on the injury report, and he clearly isn’t 100%. Healthy superstars simply don’t play 25 minutes in a playoff game. If he isn’t able to play like a star, it’s hard to imagine them advancing to the second round. Hopefully this isn’t another “what if” year for the Clippers because of injuries, but it is starting to feel that way. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:30 pm
       
    • PJ Washington ejected after contact with Westbrook
      PJ Washington has been ejected from Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: Washington picked up his second technical foul of the game after initiating contact with Russell Westbrook. Both of Washington’s technicals were double techs, with the first coming after getting into it with Terance Mann earlier in the fourth quarter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:38 pm
       
    • Myles Turner drops playoff career-high 29 in win
      Myles Turner led Indiana with 29 points (10-of-21 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and four 3-pointers in Game 3 against the Bucks on Friday.

      Advice: Turner had a big game on Friday and ended up setting a new playoff career-high for points. He had a tough Game 1, but he has been very effective in Games 2 and 3, both of which have been wins. His big performance helped the Pacers take a 2-1 lead in the series, and they’ll need another big game out of him on Sunday in order to take a 3-1 lead in the series and maintain homecourt advantage.

    • Nears double-double as top scorer
      Turner notched 29 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 41 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Turner led all Indiana players in scoring and shots made from deep while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to boost the Pacers to a thrilling overtime victory to take a series lead against the Bucks. Turner has posted at least 15 points and seven rebounds in all three first-round games, connecting on three or more threes in every outing so far in the series.

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

      Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his first playoff game of the year but will run it back on Friday after scoring just 15 points in a Game 2 loss. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:48 pm
