    • Larry Nance chips in 9/13/5/2 line off bench
      Larry Nance provided a boost off the bench with nine points (3-of-6 FGs), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one triple in Game 3 against the Thunder on Saturday.

      Advice: Jonas Valanciunas only logged 12 minutes as the starting center in this game as Willie Green opted to roll with Larry Nance in a smaller lineup. Nance ended up having an excellent performance, though it didn’t end up having much of an impact on the scoreboard. JV played 29 minutes in Game 1 and 23 minutes in Game 2, so we’ll see if Green continues to use Nance heavily in Game 4. Nance isn’t much of a fantasy contributor, but he is a really solid depth piece for the Pelicans. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:44 pm
       
    • Good to go Saturday
      Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available and serve as one of New Orleans' primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:22 pm
       
    • Practices Friday
      Nance (undisclosed) was a full participant in practice Friday, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

      Advice: Nance left Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Thunder in the third quarter favoring his right leg and grabbed at his ankle as he walked to the locker room. He didn't play at all in the final frame. On Friday, coach Willie Green said that despite the soreness, Nance "went through a full practice." This is good news for the Pelicans, who are still without Zion Williamson (hamstring). Rotowire.com Friday, 12:47 pm
       
    • Limited by foul trouble
      Hartenstein closed Thursday's 125-114 loss to Philadelphia in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

      Advice: Hartenstein picked up five fouls in the loss, limiting him to just 26 minutes. Mitchell Robinson went down with another ankle injury, meaning the Knicks are going to need Hartenstein to play the bulk of the center minutes. While this performance was modest, to say the least, Hartenstein has been a factor in the series to this point, continuing his breakout season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:31 pm
       
    • Returns from locker room
      Nance (leg) has rejoined the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Nance went back to the locker room late in the third quarter but returned to the Pelicans bench to open up the fourth quarter. He should be considered good to go for the final period. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:42 pm
       
    • Heads to locker room
      Nance went back to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against the Thunder with what seemed to be a right leg issue, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

      Advice: Nance exited the contest late in the third quarter and went back to the Pelicans' locker room. While he's absent, Jonas Valanciunas could see more of the center work while Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could slide into larger roles. Nance should be considered questionable to return.
