    • Won't face limitations in Game 3
      Suggs won't face a minutes limit during Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he practiced fully Wednesday and did so again Thursday morning. He's averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over the first two matchups in the series. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 am
       
    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
      Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

      Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:24 pm
       
    • LeBron James, Anthony Davis probable for Thursday
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Anthony Davis (low back soreness) are probable for the Lakers’ Game 3 matchup against the Nuggets on Thursday.

      Advice: Both the Lakers’ stars are likely to be a go for Game 3 of their first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday. The duo will look to bounce back at home after a pair of road losses. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:36 pm
       
    • Another probable tag
      James (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 2 against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: James has been listed as probable for each of the first two games of the series but has averaged 39.5 minutes per contest. Considering he's looked to be 100 percent in both games and has been an injury report mainstay this season, fantasy managers should expect James to be available Thursday.

    • Good to go for Game 3
      Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Goes through practice
      Suggs (knee) was able to practice Wednesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

      Advice: Coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs is feeling better, and previous reports have indicated that the guard is expected to play in Game 3 Thursday against the Cavaliers. Fantasy managers can expect more clarity when Orlando releases their official injury report Wednesday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 am
       
    • Scores 22 points in Game 2 loss
      Lopez recorded 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt), three assists, two blocks and one rebound in 29 minutes in Tuesday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Though Lopez drilled a season-high six three-pointers, his rebound production was conspicuously absent. His one rebound matched a season low for Lopez, who has seen a noticeable drop in the category during his 16th NBA campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:19 am
       
    • Brook Lopez tallies 22 points, six 3-pointers
      Brook Lopez shot 8-of-13 from the field in Tuesday’s 125-108 loss to the Pacers, amassing 22 points, one rebound, three assists, two blocks, and six 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 11 points in Game 1 on Sunday, Lopez doubled his output in Game 2. The six 3-pointers were a playoff career-high for the veteran center, whose previous high was four (on four occasions). Bobby Portis (14/11/2/1 in 30 minutes) recorded his second double-double in as many games but was less efficient as a shooter, going 6-of-16 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line. Milwaukee is headed to Indianapolis with the series tied at one win apiece ahead of Friday’s Game 3. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:20 pm
