  • Struggles continue Saturday
    Hayward had four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Saturday's 106-85 victory over the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Hayward continues to be nothing more than a depth piece for the Thunder, logging just eight minutes in the victory. While he does provide the team with a veteran presence, Hayward is not viewed as a key on-court piece. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Tallies three steals in win
    Wallace accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 18 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 win over the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Wallace continued to be a pest on the defensive end of the floor, racking up three steals in the blowout victory. Despite coming off the bench, Wallace has been an impactful player for the Thunder, often used in situations where defense is key. Game 4 will take place Monday when the Thunder will look to wrap things up against an undermanned Pelicans outfit. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Strong performance Saturday
    Giddey notched 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 victory over New Orleans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Giddey put together his best performance of the postseason, helping guide the Thunder to a comfortable victory. He was one of three Oklahoma City players to score at least 20 points, a feat achieved by no one for the Pelicans. Now leading the series 3-0, the Thunder will look to end things in Game 4 Monday.

  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) available for Game 4 Sat.
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson is available after spraining his ankle during the first half of Thursday’s Game 3 victory. He was considered questionable to return to that game but never did, hence the questions surrounding his status for Game 4. Jackson will continue to serve as Jamal Murray’s backup, which limits his DFS value. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Available to play
    Jackson (ankle) is available to play in Saturday's Game 4 versus the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, as he left the Nuggets' Game 3 win Thursday in the third quarter and was unable to return due to a minor ankle tweak. He's expected to see his usual minutes as Denver's backup point guard Saturday night. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
    Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

    Advice: Injured during Game 1, Anderson was a DNP-CD for Game 2 and only played eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3. If he remains limited, look for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to continue to play extended minutes off the bench. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Anderson is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns due to a right hip injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson was questionable before Game 3 on Friday, and even though he played, he only logged eight minutes off the bench. A similar workload might be expected for Sunday's contest, meaning his fantasy upside will be almost minimal. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • LeBron James (ankle) available Saturday vs. Denver
    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

    Advice: James was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He will take on his usual responsibilities as the Lakers look to extend their season. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared to play
    James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

    Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
