  • 76-101-3 15th Place
    • Strong performance Saturday
      Giddey notched 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 victory over New Orleans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Giddey put together his best performance of the postseason, helping guide the Thunder to a comfortable victory. He was one of three Oklahoma City players to score at least 20 points, a feat achieved by no one for the Pelicans. Now leading the series 3-0, the Thunder will look to end things in Game 4 on Monday.

    • 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, and 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 Yesterday, 3:31 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 Yesterday, 3:19 pm
       
    • Haynes: Lillard diagnosed with strained Achilles
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left Achilles strain and is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Lillard, who has been dealing with Achilles soreness for a few weeks, aggravated the issue during Friday’s Game 3 defeat. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle with the injury, ultimately being used as a decoy during the overtime period. In addition to being doubtful for Game 4, Lillard was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green would be in play for additional minutes if he cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 am
       
    • Game 4 in doubt
      Lillard suffered a strained Achilles in Friday's loss to the Pacers, and there is serious doubt over his availability for Game 4 on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Lillard was able to return to Game 3 after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes. Final confirmation on his status Sunday will presumably come closer to game time. AJ Green, Andre Jackson and Malik Beasley would all be candidates to see increased minutes alongside Patrick Beverley in the backcourt should Lillard indeed need to sit out.

    • Efficient performance in Game 3 win
      Gobert logged 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 126-109 victory over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Gobert's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though the increased offensive responsibility in Game 3 was directly related to Karl-Anthony Towns being limited with foul trouble. Gobert has two double-doubles in three games during the current series, and he is averaging 17.0 points and 13.0 boards per contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:43 am
       
    • Nears 30 points despite injury
      Lillard posted 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite leaving Friday's game briefly with a knee injury, Lillard finished the Game 3 contest and led all Bucks players in assists while ending two points shy of the 30-point mark to provide a boost offensively in a losing effort. Lillard, who was perfect from the free-throw line to go along with a team-high-tying mark from three, has posted at least 28 points in all three games of the first round. It will be worth monitoring Lillard's status ahead of Game 4 given his brief exit Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:01 pm
       
    • Damian Lillard shrugs off early injury, scores 28
      Damian Lillard struggled with his shot but still finished with 28 points (6-of-20 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), one rebound, eight assists, three steals and four 3-pointers against Indiana in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Lillard exited briefly during the first quarter because of an injury, but he came back quickly and was able to finish out the game. The Bucks can’t afford another injury, since they’ll likely be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the entire first round. Dame struggled with his shot, and he was clearly banged up at the end of the game. Game 4 is on Sunday, so he will only have two days to recover before they’ll need him once again, as they look to avoid going down 3-1. After the game, Doc Rivers said that Lillard went to the locker room because of an Achilles injury, and that “Dame was really struggling. In the overtime, he said I’ll be the decoy. I just can’t go, as far as explosion.” That is certainly concerning, and there is certainly a chance that he misses Game 4. Rotoworld Friday, 5:48 pm
       
    • Returns to Game 3
      Lillard (knee) has returned to Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Lillard went straight to the locker room after suffering an apparent left knee injury with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter, but he was back on the court to start the second period. Khris Middleton is playing through an ankle sprain he suffered in Game 2, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has yet to play this postseason, so Lillard's return is a major relief. The All-Star has scored 69 points through the first two games of the series but struggled in the second half on both matchups, which allowed Indiana to even the series with a Game 2 win Tuesday.
