  • Questionable for Game 4
    Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves with a right abdominal contusion.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope will land a questionable designation for a second consecutive contest due to a bruised abdomen. He was able to play through the injury in Game 3 and logged 37 minutes, so there should be a level of optimism ahead of Sunday's tilt. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:06 pm
     
  • Listed as questionable
    Murray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Murray has been playing through questionable tags for the entirety of the series so far, so fantasy managers can expect the same to continue Sunday. Murray looked sharp in Friday's Game 3, producing 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:03 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sun.
    Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Jackson hasn’t missed a game this postseason, but his playing time has decreased, with Nuggets coach Michael Malone leaning on his starters even more. “Big Government” only played eight minutes in Friday’s win over Minnesota and will shoulder a similar workload in Game 4.

  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable Sun.
    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: While he hasn’t been healthy, Caldwell-Pope has continued to play starters’ minutes as the Nuggets look to repeat as champions. Look for him to do the same on Sunday, as KCP is Denver’s best option to defend Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:38 pm
     
  • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Murray is back on the injury report, but the calf strain has not forced him to miss any games. He looked much better in Friday’s Game 3 victory, played after a three-day break in the series. The lingering question is whether Murray can play that well after just one day of rest between games.

  • Double-doubles, swats three shots
    Turner notched 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 111-106 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Turner made his presence felt on both ends of the court Friday, tying his playoff-high mark in blocks while recording his first double-double of the current playoff run. The Pacers need Turner to continue making a two-way impact if they're going to turn things around in the series, especially considering how depleted the Knicks are in the frontcourt with Julius Randle (shoulder), Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) all out for Game 4.

  • Karl-Anthony Towns hits four 3-pointers, scores 14
    Karl-Anthony Towns accumulated 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets.

    Advice: The good news for Towns is that he shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. The bad is that he attempted seven shots overall, which is inexcusable for an offensive talent of his caliber. Friday’s game was the first in which KAT failed to reach double figures since Game 2 of Minnesota’s first-round sweep of the Suns. While the Timberwolves could get away with that against Phoenix, the reigning champs are different. Towns needs to be more aggressive in Game 4 on Sunday night, with the Timberwolves still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Friday, 9:43 pm
     
  • Anthony Edwards leads MIN with 19 points in Game 3
    Anthony Edwards shot 8-of-15 from the field in Friday’s 117-90 loss to the Nuggets, scoring 19 points with six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

    Advice: Faced with the opportunity to deal the reigning champions a decisive blow, Minnesota failed to do so on Friday. Edwards was the only player to reach double digits in shot attempts, which was not the case in either of Minnesota’s two wins in Denver. While he shot the ball well overall, Ant-Man was responsible for five of the Timberwolves’ 14 turnovers in Game 3. Edwards and the Timberwolves will have another opportunity to tighten their grip on the series in Game 4 on Sunday night. Rotoworld Friday, 9:25 pm
     
  • Nears triple-double in Game 3 win
    Jokic notched 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals over 38 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Jokic did a little bit of everything for Denver in a much-needed Game 3 win on the road, leading all players in Friday's contest in rebounds, assists and blocks while adding a team-high-tying trio of steals and concluding as one of three Nuggets with 20 or more points. Jokic, who ended one dime shy of a triple-double, tallied his second straight double-double and has posted at least 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in every game of the conference semifinals thus far. Jokic looked much more comfortable in Game 3 than we saw earlier in the series, which could be great news for Denver as it tries to even the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:17 pm
