    • Kyrie Irving dishes out 11 assists in Game 2 win
      Kyrie Irving accounted for nine points (2-of-8 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, and two blocked shots in 41 minutes in Thursday’s 119-110 win over Oklahoma City.

      Advice: After scoring 20 points on 50% shooting in Tuesday’s Game 1 defeat, Irving did not shoot the ball well in Game 2. He made up for that by making plays for others, dishing out a game-high 11 assists while only committing one turnover. Irving also chipped in with two steals and two blocked shots as he did the “little things” while Luka Doncic, PJ Washington, and Tim Hardaway Jr. handled the scoring. Dallas will look to take a 2-1 series lead when they host the Thunder on Saturday afternoon. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:21 pm
       
    • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Nuggets-Timberwolves game.

      Advice: KCP hasn’t been a factor on offense in the second round and his status for Game 3 is up in the air. Justin Holiday has provided a spark off the bench lately and will be asked to continue stepping up if KCP is ruled out. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:21 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable Thursday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Nuggets-Timberwolves game.

      Advice: Frustration has gotten the best of Murray as of late and he avoided suspension after throwing a heat pack onto the court during a game. The Nuggets’ point guard rotation is hobbled, but Murray hasn’t missed a game yet and will likely try to give it a go. He hasn’t missed a game this postseason yet. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:59 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 3
      Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Friday's Game 3 matchup with Minnesota due to a right abdominal contusion.

      Advice: KCP must have got popped in the mid-section during Game 2, and now he's in danger of missing Game 3. We'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, Christian Braun, Justin Holiday and Peyton Watson would be asked to pick up the slack.

    • Iffy for Game 3
      Murray (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been dealing with a left calf strain since the end of Denver's first-round series against the Lakers. However, Murray has yet to miss a game due to the issue and is averaging 35.0 minutes per contest across the first two games of the Nuggets' series against the Timberwolves.

    • Passive performance Wednesday
      McBride amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: McBride managed just four points in the win, struggling to find any real rhythm on the offensive end. Although his role has been somewhat limited to this point, OG Anunoby (hamstring) going down could open up an interesting opportunity. Should Anunoby be forced to miss time, look for McBride to potentially slide into the starting lineup for Game 3. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:47 pm
       
    • Kyrie Irving leads Dallas with 20 points in loss
      Kyrie Irving led Dallas with 20 points (7-of-14 FGs), one rebound, three assists, two steals, one block and three triples in a 117-95 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 on Tuesday.

      Advice: After scoring just six points in the first half, Irving once again turned it on for the second half and scored nine points in the third, which included a contested 3-pointer just before the buzzer. He was consistently better in the second half during their first round series against the Clippers, but his production in the second half of this game wasn’t enough to secure a win on the road. If Irving can put together two solid halves in Game 2, they may be able to steal a game on the road and head to Dallas with the series tied. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:27 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) struggles in Game 2 blowout
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) shot 3-of-18 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Monday’s 106-80 loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with eight points, 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one blocked shot in 36 minutes.

      Advice: Murray had a rough night at the office, as Denver fell into an 0-2 hole. He struggled with his shot throughout and was also visibly frustrated with the officials. Things reached a head during the second quarter when an angry Murray threw a heat pack onto the court. No technical foul was called at the time, but the NBA is likely to hand down a punishment of some kind before Game 3 on Friday. The three days off come at a good time for Murray, who is in serious need of some time to rest his ailing calf. Rotoworld Monday, 10:09 pm
       
    • Cleared for Game 2
      Murray (calf) will play in Monday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

      Advice: Murray is still battling a nagging calf injury that he picked up during Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Lakers, but it won't force him to miss Monday's clash. He was held in check during Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals; however, the point guard has shown that he can make clutch shots when his team needs them most, even if he's not at 100 percent.
