  • 91-77-3 4th 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
       
    • 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
       
    • Ejected in Game 3 win
      Washington chipped in 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 34 minutes before getting ejected from Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Washington was ejected following a scuffle with Russell Westbrook, much to the delight of the home fans. While losing a player is never a good thing, his energy and willingness to not back down proved a hit with the Dallas faithful. Before his premature exit, Washington managed to put together another strong performance. He will look to maintain that energy heading into Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:35 pm
       
    • PJ Washington ejected after contact with Westbrook
      PJ Washington has been ejected from Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: Washington picked up his second technical foul of the game after initiating contact with Russell Westbrook. Both of Washington’s technicals were double techs, with the first coming after getting into it with Terance Mann earlier in the fourth quarter. Rotoworld Friday, 7:38 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford (back) active Friday vs. Clippers
      Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford is good to go despite missing Thursday’s practice. The Mavericks big man has struggled to produce against the Clippers so far and could take a back seat to Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber if he struggles. Rotoworld Friday, 4:01 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Gafford (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. Gafford should start at center for the third straight game to begin the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:53 pm
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Gafford (back) was on the court and walking around during shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Gafford is officially listed as questionable Friday due to back spasms. The 24-year-old big man's availability will likely be determined shortly before tipoff at 8 pm ET. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:10 am
       
    • Sniffs triple-double in Game 3
      Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

    • Nikola Jokic posts 24/15/9/1 stat line in Game 3
      Nikola Jokic amassed 24 points (9-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, nine assists, and one steal in 39 minutes in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers.

      Advice: All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters accounted for at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, with Jokic finishing one assist shy of a triple-double. The Nuggets have now won the last 11 games they’ve played against the Lakers, and it feels like a matter of “when” they’ll end this series rather than “if.” Game 4 is on Saturday night, and Jokic could once again approach 40 minutes as the Nuggets go for the sweep.
