    • Luka Doncic turns in 22/10/9/2 line in Game 3 win
      Luka Doncic led Dallas with 22 points (7-of-25 FGs), 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, three triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: After shooting 11-of-26 in each of his first two games of this series, Luka’s shooting was slightly worse in this game. However, they were still able to get the win and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Doncic played through plenty of contact from Russell Westbrook in this game, and he still nearly recorded a triple-double. Game 4 is on Sunday, and they’ll have a chance to take a 3-1 lead in the series. This team will go as far as Luka takes them, and he’ll need to shoot better thant his moving forward.

    • Briefly leaves Game 3
      Doncic briefly left Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter with an apparent right knee issue, but he returned with 12 seconds to play in the quarter, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

      Advice: Doncic had a significant limp when he checked out of the game and went to the locker room. He put a brace on his right knee when he returned to the bench but quickly removed it before checking back into the game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford (back) active Friday vs. Clippers
      Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford is good to go despite missing Thursday’s practice. The Mavericks big man has struggled to produce against the Clippers so far and could take a back seat to Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber if he struggles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:01 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Gafford (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. Gafford should start at center for the third straight game to begin the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:53 pm
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Gafford (back) was on the court and walking around during shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Gafford is officially listed as questionable Friday due to back spasms. The 24-year-old big man's availability will likely be determined shortly before tipoff at 8 pm ET. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 am
       
    • Nears double-double Thursday
      Wagner provided 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Wagner is known for his scoring ability, but in a game where Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs carried the offense, Wagner made his presence felt as a distributor, with his eight assists being his highest output since Dec. 26. Wagner should remain a capable presence on the offensive side of the ball for the Magic, as he's averaged 17.3 points per game through the first three contests of this first-round series.

    • Fails to score in four minutes
      Hield ended Thursday's 125-114 victory over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in four minutes.

      Advice: Hield barely touched the floor in the win, continuing his rapid fall from grace. He is basically an afterthought at this point, despite the fact the 76ers are not loaded with reliable talent. It appears as though he will need an offseason move to have a chance of reclaiming his standing as a fantasy asset next season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Josh Hart hits four 3-pointers, scores 20 points
      Josh Hart shot 8-of-16 from the field in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers, accounting for 20 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Hart continues to flourish offensively, as Philadelphia does not appear convinced in his ability to shoot the basketball. The former Villanova standout shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc in Game 3, moving to 12-of-23 for the series. Given the sample size, Philadelphia may look to adjust its approach to defending Hart, which means the Knicks will need more from Donte DiVincenzo. While responsible for a thunderous second-quarter dunk, the “Big Ragu” missed all three of his 3-point attempts and finished with five points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes. New York will take a 2-1 series lead into Sunday’s Game 4. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner dishes out eight assists in blowout
      Franz Wagner shot 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s rout of the Cavaliers, accounting for 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner took much better care of the basketball than in Game 2. After committing six turnovers in that defeat, Franz did not record any in Game 3. In fact, Orlando’s starters were responsible for just one turnover, which was a major factor in the Magic’s first win of the series. Wagner will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Saturday, with Cleveland still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:19 pm
