    • Austin Reaves tallies 21 points, six assists Sat.
      Austin Reaves played 30 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 win over the Nuggets, accounting for 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, six assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 22 points in the first two games of this series, Reaves tallied 22 and 21 in the Lakers’ two home games. He’s been a more consistent supplementary scoring option than D’Angelo Russell, who bounced back from a brutal Game 3 to score 21 points in Game 4. While D’Lo may offer a higher ceiling to DFS players, Reaves may be the safer option for Game 5 on Monday in Denver. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Haywood Highsmith (arm) available for Game 3 Sat.
      Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is available for Saturday’s game against Boston.

      Advice: Highsmith has played 26 minutes in each of the first two games of this series, which will be his likely workload for Game 3. He’s capable of providing a few 3-pointers and some rebounds, but that isn’t enough to merit being slotted into most DFS lineups. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:27 am
       
    • Paul George limited to 7/5/5 due to foul trouble
      Paul George dealt with foul trouble on Friday and only contributed seven points (3-of-11 FGs), five rebounds, five assists and one triple in 30 minutes against Dallas in Game 3.

      Advice: George was only able to play 11 minutes in the first half of this game because of some early foul trouble. He was better at staying on the floor in the second half, but he still had a poor performance after scoring 22 points in each of their first two games. PG now has committed 14 fouls through the first three games of this series, though it only limited his minutes in this one. He can’t impact the game from the sidelines, so he’ll need to clean this up moving forward, especially with Kawhi Leonard not at 100% Rotoworld Friday, 8:39 pm

    • Gets hot late in victory
      Irving finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite a sluggish start to the game, Irving delivered when it mattered, helping the Mavericks to an emphatic victory. Both he and Luka Doncic are at the peak of their powers at the moment. A repeat performance in Game 4 will see Dallas on the cusp of an impressive first-round victory.

    • Woeful in Game 3 loss
      George racked up seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: George was non-existent in the loss, putting up his worst performance in quite some time. The Clippers managed to hang around but were never really in the contest. George is going to have to be much better when the two teams line up again Sunday if the Clippers hope to return home with the series tied up. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:31 pm

    • Kyrie Irving scores 21 points despite slow start
      Kyrie Irving struggled early on Friday but still finished with 21 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and three triples against the Clippers in Game 3.

      Advice: Irving got off to an incredibly slow start in this game and entered halftime with just two points. He played well in both of the first two games of this series, but he didn’t get things going in Game 3 until after the break. His 19 second-half points were enough to allow Dallas to hang on and win this game despite a below average shooting night from Luka Doncic. They’ll look to take a 3-1 lead in the series in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
      Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is questionable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

      Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after tallying nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue to play a significant role off the bench on Saturday. Rotoworld Friday, 3:17 pm
       
    • Puts up 22 points in Game 3 loss
      Reaves ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Reaves had two subpar showings in the first two games of the series, and even though he bounced back in Game 3, his efforts were not enough to lift the Lakers to victory. Reaves will aim to replicate these numbers in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need to win to avoid a first-round exit. Reaves is averaging 14.7 points per game in the series while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:18 am
       
    • Austin Reaves records 22 points, four steals
      Austin Reaves accumulated 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, four steals, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets.

      Advice: Reaves was one of three Lakers starters to score at least 22 points, but that wasn’t enough to avoid an 11th straight loss to the Nuggets. D’Angelo Russell going scoreless and Rui Hachimura finishing with five points certainly didn’t help matters for the Lakers, who need a win on Saturday to extend their season. Reaves matched his point total from the first two games in Game 3 while accumulating four steals. That’s positive momentum he can take into Game 4; whether or not it matters is another conversation, given Denver’s mastery of the Lakers. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:28 pm
