  • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) questionable Saturday
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain and left knee soreness) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 3 meeting with the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: Doncic’s minor injuries didn’t stop him from totaling 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in a Game 2 win. The Mavericks star will likely continue to power his team’s offense on Saturday. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Doncic is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

    Advice: Doncic has been playing through the knee sprain throughout the postseason, but the ankle issue is new. He also smacked his face on the court during Game 2 on Thursday, but that's not mentioned in the official report. Despite all the injuries, the Mavericks were able to even the series and claim home-court advantage behind Doncic's 16-point first quarter. The superstar point guard is likely more probable than questionable for Game 3, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle injury. It appears unlikely he will suit up this postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm
     
  • Expected to play Friday
    Brunson (foot) will likely go through warmups and play in Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

    Advice: Brunson is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right foot soreness but is expected to suit up. The star guard is averaging 35.6 points, 8.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 42.4 minutes across his eight appearances thus far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
     
  • Jalen Brunson (foot) active Friday vs. Pacers
    Jalen Brunson (right foot soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Knicks-Pacers game.

    Advice: Brunson had an injury scare in Game 2 before returning to action and appears to be healthy enough to play again ahead of the weekend. It’s unclear whether he’ll handle his usual heavy workload, but some reserve guards could be asked to step up while OG Anunoby is out. Rotoworld Today, 12:48 pm
     
  • Sniffs triple-double in Game 2 loss
    Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Gilgeous-Alexander finished just two assists away from recording a triple-double, but his outstanding two-way play was not enough as the Thunder came up short in Game 2 of the series. The loss shouldn't take anything away from Gilgeous-Alexander's impact from a fantasy perspective. He's averaging 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game across six playoff contests.

  • Bounces back in Game 2 win
    Doncic provided 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Doncic had been struggling with his shot in recent games, but he bounced back admirably in this Game 2 victory, nailing five of his eight attempts from beyond the arc and returning to the regular scoring figures he'd been delivering throughout the entire playoff run. Doncic should play a key role in Game 3 of the series, scheduled for Saturday in Dallas. Rotowire.com Today, 8:21 am
     
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 33 points
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 13-of-24 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Thursday’s 119-110 loss to the Mavericks, tallying 33 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes.

    Advice: Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a high-level stat line in Game 2, but the lack of offense from players other than him and Jalen Williams was too much to overcome. SGA, who finished second in the NBA MVP voting, has surpassed the 30-point mark twice in six games this postseason, with Thursday’s effort being his first since Game 2 of OKC’s first-round series against New Orleans. Gilgeous-Alexander will get his numbers, and he’s been efficient in this series’ first two games. How far the Thunder plays into the postseason will depend on how consistent his supporting cast is. Game 3 is on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm
