  • Balanced outing in Game 4 loss
    Jones posted 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Clippers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Jones responded from a scoreless outing in Game 3 by putting forth one of his best performances of the first-round series Sunday in Dallas' loss against Los Angeles. Although Jones briefly headed to the locker room Sunday, he ended second on the team in rebounds, matching his playoff high thus far, while ending as one of four Mavericks with a double-digit point total. Jones notched his highest scoring total of the series, surpassing the double-digit mark in three of his four postseason outings. Rotowire.com Today, 6:09 pm
     
  • Kyle Anderson (hip) available Sunday vs. PHX
    Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is available for Sunday’s matchup with the Suns.

    Advice: Slow Mo will be available after logging just eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3 victory. He’s not expected to play a major role in Game 4. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 pm
     
  • Available for Game 4
    Anderson (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Advice: Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 4, but he will officially be available. Anderson has seen limited action this postseason, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in most formats. Rotowire.com Today, 5:36 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 4:48 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 5
    Vanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Vanderbilt has yet to appear in the playoffs for the Lakers, who find themselves on the brink of elimination. This is the first time Vanderbilt has not immediately been ruled out, so he seems to be trending towards a return. Rotowire.com Today, 4:47 pm
     
  • Derrick Jones Jr. posts 14/7/1/1/1 line in Game 4
    Derrick Jones Jr. shot 6-of-9 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    Advice: Jones was one of four Mavericks starters to reach double figures in Game 4, which the Mavericks trailed by as much as 31 before rallying during the second half. Since going scoreless in Game 1, Airplane Mode has made at least 50% of his shots in three consecutive games. While the 2-of-3 afternoon from beyond the arc in Game 4 was a departure from the norm for Jones, this was an encouraging sight, as the Mavericks need others to step up in assistance of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Jones will look to build on this performance in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 4:09 pm
     
  • Iffy for Monday
    Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.

    Advice: It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
     
  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl questionable for Monday
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday’s Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl was unavailable for Game 3 on Saturday, but his absence did not impact the Pelicans rotation. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact DFS tournaments if available for Game 4. Rotoworld Today, 2:39 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 2:37 pm
