    • James Harden leads LAC with 21/2/5/2/1 line
      James Harden led the Clippers with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, five triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 loss to Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Harden tied Norman Powell as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. Harden was also able to contribute value across the board, though it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. He played 44 minutes in this game, which Tyronn Lue said was a result of Paul George being in foul trouble. Harden is still an effective player, but he’s going to need George to be better if they want to win this series without a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Harden will look to keep this production up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:43 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) active Thursday
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Thursday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Melton is set to make his 2024 postseason debut. His nagging back injury has improved enough for him to hit the hardwood and his status will likely reduce Kyle Lowry’s minutes. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Available to play Thursday
      Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in either of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload.

    • Considered game-time decision
      Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:52 pm
       
    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
      Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

      Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:24 pm

    • Questionable for Thursday
      Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York.

      Advice: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:36 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) questionable for Game 3
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 3 against the Knicks on Thursday.

      Advice: Melton has only been available to play in a handful of games since January, but there is a chance that he is back in the lineup for Game 3. He will likely play a limited role off the bench, but his shooting and defense could be an x-factor in this series, especially with the 76ers currently down 0-2. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Practices Wednesday
      Coach Nick Nurse said Melton (back) practiced Wednesday and is on track to suit up for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, but the shooting guard will likely still be listed as questionable on the official injury report, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

      Advice: Melton has appeared in only five games since Jan. 12 and last suited up April 12, so even if he gets the green light, he'll presumably be eased into action. The sixth-year wing made only 38 regular-season appearances and averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:18 am
