    • Ejected in fourth quarter
      Westbrook was ejected from Saturday's 101-90 Game 3 loss to the Mavericks with 6:10 to play in the fourth quarter. He finished with one point (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 19 minutes.

      Advice: Westbrook let his frustrations get the best of him in this one. He was already carrying a technical foul when he proceeded to shove both Luka Doncic and P.J. Washington on the same play. Despite his outburst, a suspension is highly unlikely. Rotowire.com Today, 8:02 pm
       
    • Russell Westbrook ejected in fourth quarter
      Russell Westbrook has been ejected from Game 3 against Dallas on Friday.

      Advice: After getting tangled up with Luka Doncic, Westbrook shoved Doncic away from him and threw push at PJ Washington after that. There were plenty of words exchanged as well, which ended Westbrook’s night halfway through the fourth quarter. He had one point on 1-of-7 shooting, so this was certainly a frustrating night for him.

    • Bobby Portis records 17/18 double-double in Game 3
      Bobby Portis recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (7-of-15 FGs), 18 rebounds, one steal, one block and one triple against Indiana.

      Advice: Portis, who was a finalist for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award, has played really well as the starting power forward in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that continued in this game. He has recorded a double-double in all three games of this series, but this was by far his best outing. Giannis isn’t expected to play in this series, so Portis should continue to start. They’ll need him to continue to play to this level if they want to tie this series back up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 6:01 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Portis finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal over 44 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

      Advice: Portis dominated the boards in Friday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bucks with a double-double in a losing effort in overtime. Portis has stepped in nicely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continuing to miss time, recording a double-double in all three games in the quarterfinals thus far. Portis will continue to remain in the starting lineup until Antetokounmpo is able to return, but will become a key player off of Milwaukee's bench if the two-time MVP does come back for Game 4 or at some point in the series against Indiana.

    • Fails to score in four minutes
      Hield ended Thursday's 125-114 victory over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in four minutes.

      Advice: Hield barely touched the floor in the win, continuing his rapid fall from grace. He is basically an afterthought at this point, despite the fact the 76ers are not loaded with reliable talent. It appears as though he will need an offseason move to have a chance of reclaiming his standing as a fantasy asset next season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Disappoints again Thursday
      Harris totaled eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 win over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Harris continues to come up short for the 76ers, scoring no more than 10 points for the third straight playoff game. He is averaging just 8.3 points per game thus far, well below where he needs to be if they are to make any real noise during the postseason. Look for Harris to try and turn things around in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:36 pm
       
    • Kelly Oubre Jr. records 15/7/3/2 line in Game 3
      Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 6-of-8 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday’s 125-114 win over the Knicks, amassing 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: While Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will lead the way offensively for the 76ers, they will need production from the “others” if they’re to win the series. Oubre and Cam Payne stepped up in Game 3, with the latter making the most of his minutes after not playing at all in Game 2. Oubre was efficient offensively, shooting 75% from the field, and finished one blocked shot shy of a full stat line. As for Payne, he logged 16 minutes and finished with 11 points, one rebound, three assists, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. Philadelphia will need more of the same from Oubre and Payne in Game 4 on Sunday, as the Knicks still hold a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:42 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) ruled out for Game 3
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not play in Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: THJ exited early from Game 2 after an awkward fall, and he will remain sidelined for Game 3. Josh Green should fill out his role off the bench, though he went scoreless in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Dante Exum should also take on some extra minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 am
       
    • Out for Game 3
      Hardaway (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Hardaway will miss Friday's contest after leaving Game 2 early with a right ankle sprain. Derrick Jones, Dante Exum and Josh Green could receive extended minutes in his absence. Hardaway's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 am
