    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) limited to 25 minutes in G3
      Kawhi Leonard only played 25 minutes on Friday and finished with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), nine rebounds and two assists against the Mavericks in Game 3.

      Advice: After the game, head coach Tyronn Lue said that Kawhi is “still dealing with knee inflammation that the team has to manage”. He also said that he believes that Leonard will be able to suit up for Game 4 on Sunday. It would be surprising if he wasn’t at least on the injury report, and he clearly isn’t 100%. Healthy superstars simply don’t play 25 minutes in a playoff game. If he isn’t able to play like a star, it’s hard to imagine them advancing to the second round. Hopefully this isn’t another “what if” year for the Clippers because of injuries, but it is starting to feel that way. Rotoworld Today, 8:30 pm
       
    • Grayson Allen (ankle) downgraded to out Friday
      Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) has been downgraded to out for Game 3 against Minnesota on Friday.

      Advice: Allen injured his ankle in Game 1, but he was able to suit up for Game 2. He injured is again in that game, and it will keep him sidelined as the series shifts to Phoenix. Eric Gordon or Royce O’Neale should start in his place, with both seeing extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 6:43 pm
       
    • Won't play Friday
      Allen (ankle) will not play in Friday's Game 3 versus the Timberwolves.

      Advice: This is a tough blow for the Suns, as Allen has been key to Phoenix's floor spacing this season. He was able to get in a limited practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, so the Suns could potentially get him back for Game 4 on Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run in the meantime. Rotowire.com Today, 6:39 pm
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) active Friday vs. Mavericks
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as active for the Clippers’ Friday meeting with the Mavericks.

      Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his first playoff game of the year but will run it back on Friday after scoring just 15 points in a Game 2 loss. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 3
      Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

      Advice: After missing Sunday's Game 1 win due to knee inflammation, Leonard returned for Game 2 on Tuesday and put up 15 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 35 minutes during a 96-93 loss, marking his first appearance since March 31. With the series tied at 1-1, Leonard's health and impact will be key to the Clippers' success. Despite suiting up for back-to-back games, the questionable tag may stick with Leonard for the rest of the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Leonard (knee), who is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, was present for the Clippers' morning shootaround, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Leonard returned from a nine-game absence during Tuesday's matchup against Dallas and continues to deal with knee inflammation ahead of Friday's game. However, his presence at shootaround is encouraging, and he appears to be trending in the right direction in the hours leading up to tipoff. Rotowire.com Today, 9:11 am
       
    • Puts up 22 points in Game 3 loss
      Reaves ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Reaves had two subpar showings in the first two games of the series, and even though he bounced back in Game 3, his efforts were not enough to lift the Lakers to victory. Reaves will aim to replicate these numbers in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need to win to avoid a first-round exit. Reaves is averaging 14.7 points per game in the series while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Today, 6:18 am
       
    • Sniffs triple-double in Game 3
      Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

    • Carries Denver to Game 3 win
      Gordon posted 29 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Nikola Jokic finished just one assist away from a triple-double, and Jamal Murray had another impressive showing, but the Nuggets came through in Game 3 thanks to the energy and tenacity of Gordon, who stepped his game up when Denver needed him the most, especially in the third quarter. The 29-point output was Gordon's second-best scoring mark of the entire campaign, and he's averaging a solid 18.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game through the first three games of the series against the Lakers.
