    • Jamal Murray bounces back, scores 24 points Friday
      Jamal Murray finished Friday’s Game 3 win over the Timberwolves with 24 points (11-of-21 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Having struggled through a calf injury in the first two games, Murray appeared to benefit from the three days off between Games 2 and 3. He looked sharp on offense, shooting better than 50% from the field while tying for the team-high in scoring with Nikola Jokic. The question is how fresh Murray will be on Sunday night, as the Nuggets will only have one day off. He may appear on the injury report ahead of Game 4, but DFS players and bettors should operate under the assumption that Murray will play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:17 pm
       
    • Responds with strong Game 3
      Murray finished with 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assist, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Murray came out of the gates with a sense of urgency and a prove-it mentality in Friday's much-needed with for Denver, posting a team-high-tying scoring total and leading all players in the contest in shots made while tallying a team-high-tying pair of steals in a balanced outing. Murray, who notched his only single-digit game of the postseason in Game 2, bounced back with a big performance for the Nuggets in order to get back into the series against the Timberwolves. Murray has surpassed the 20-point mark in six of his eight playoff contests thus far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:16 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 3 Friday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is available for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: As expected, Murray is officially available for a game the Nuggets must win. Whether or not he’ll play at full strength is another matter. Look for Murray to do what he can to play better than he did in the first two games of this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:47 pm
       
    • Available for Game 3
      Murray (calf) is available for Friday's Game 3 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Murray has been a regular on the injury report since the end of Denver's first-round series against the Lakers, but he continues to push through it. Through the first two games against Minnesota, Murray has really struggled, hitting a combined 9-of-32 from the field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:36 pm
       
    • 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
       
    • 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
       
    • 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
