  • 108-69-3 5th Place
    • Massive triple-double not enough
      Jokic closed Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes.

      Advice: Jokic has two triple-doubles and two double-doubles in the current series against the Lakers, but unlike in the previous three contests, he was unable to carry Denver to victory following yet another slow start. Jokic's individual numbers have been amazing in the series, though, as he's averaging 29.0 points, 15.3 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. He'll aim to lift the Nuggets to close the series out Monday in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm
       
    • Stuffs stat line Saturday
      Porzingis logged 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Porzingis was active on both ends of the court, and even though he cooled down after a strong start in which he scored Boston's first eight points, he still finished with a solid output despite playing just 27 minutes. The limit in playing time was probably related to the nature of the game since it was a blowout from the second quarter onwards, meaning Porzingis shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload in Game 4 on Monday. Porzingis has scored 18 points in two of his three appearances in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic drops 33/14/14/1/1 line in Game 4
      Nikola Jokic accumulated 33 points (10-of-20 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), 14 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes in Saturday’s 119-108 loss to the Lakers.

      Advice: Denver failed to capitalize on its first opportunity to close out the Lakers, but Jokic still had an impressive night at the office. The Joker recorded his second triple-double of this series and 18th in his postseason career, dropping a full stat line in Game 4. Saturday’s game was Jokic’s least accurate of the series, and he still made 50% of his attempts. Stats are unlikely to be a problem for him in Game 5 on Monday, as the Nuggets take their second shot at closing the series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis hits three triples, scores 18
      Kristaps Porzingis finished Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Heat with 18 points (5-of-9 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 18 points in Game 1, Porzingis shot 1-of-9 from the field and scored six points in Bostons’ Game 2 defeat. He got untracked on Saturday, shooting 3-of-5 from three and tallying 18 points with a full stat line. Porzingis has recorded a full line in all three games, so DFS players got some value in Game 2. He and the Celtics will look to take a 3-1 series lead when they face the Heat in Game 4 on Monday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:08 pm
       
    • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

      Advice: Injured during Game 1, Anderson was a DNP-CD for Game 2 and only played eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3. If he remains limited, look for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to continue to play extended minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Anderson is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns due to a right hip injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Anderson was questionable before Game 3 on Friday, and even though he played, he logged only eight minutes off the bench. A similar workload can be expected for Sunday's contest, meaning his fantasy upside will be minimal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:44 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and the mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:57 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Sunday for Game 4
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday.

      Advice: Embiid will continue to be on the injury report as he manages this left knee injury, as well as Bell’s Palsy. However, he will continue to play through it. He’ll look to have another big night and try to tie the series 2-2. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
       
    • Available to play
      Anderson (hip) is available for Friday's Game 3 versus the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

      Advice: Fantasy managers should exercise caution before plugging Anderson into lineups, as the forward didn't touch the floor despite being cleared to play in Game 2. It remains to be seen if he'll rejoin the rotation for Game 3. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:06 pm
