    • D’Angelo Russell goes scoreless in Game 3 loss
      D’Angelo Russell missed all seven of his shot attempts in Thursday’s 112-105 loss to the Nuggets, going scoreless with three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 24 minutes.

      Advice: After bouncing back from a mediocre Game 1 with a quality effort in Game 2, there was hope that Russell could build on that 23-point night. That did not happen; he was 0-of-6 from three and 0-of-7 from the field overall. Due to his struggles, Russell lost minutes to Spencer Dinwiddie, who logged 22 and finished with eight points, two rebounds, and three assists. With the Lakers needing a win on Saturday to extend their season, it would be unsurprising if Darvin Ham did not wait long to pull Russell if he doesn’t have it. If that happens, Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent (four points, four rebounds in 20 minutes) will play more minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:33 pm
       
    • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 3 Friday
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Suns.

      Advice: While it was announced that Anderson was available for Tuesday’s Game 2, he did not play. Nickeil Alexander-Walker benefitted the most regarding playing time, as he logged 31 minutes off the bench. Expect a similar scenario if Anderson does not play in Game 3.

    • Questionable for Friday
      Anderson (hip) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 versus the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

      Advice: Anderson was cleared to play in Game 2 with this same right hip issue, but he never saw the floor. Instead, Nickeil Alexander-Walker played 31 minutes off the bench as Minnesota tightened up its rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:59 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful Friday
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is listed as doubtful for the Bucks’ Friday matchup with the Pacers.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo still hasn’t made his 2024 NBA Playoffs debut and it appears like he’ll miss his team’s first road game of its series against Indiana ahead of the weekend. Bobby Portis will likely continue to start for Antetokounmpo. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Doubtful for Friday
      Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Friday's Game 3 against Indiana.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo has been putting up shots in recent days but hadn't yet resumed running or cutting as of Wednesday. As a result, he'll likely be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game due to his calf issue. Assuming he's sidelined, his next chance to suit up will be in Sunday's Game 4.

    • Goes for 26 points Wednesday
      Holmgren chipped in 26 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 win over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Holmgren was expected to have a tough matchup while being guarded by Jonas Valanciunas, but the rookie has looked outstanding in his first two playoff contests, posting a double-double in Game 1 and delivering his best scoring output in more than a month in the second game of the series. Holmgren should continue to have a prominent role for the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:00 am
       
    • Chet Holmgren scores 26 points vs. Pelicans
      Chet Holmgren scored 26 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) in the Thunder’s win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. He totaled seven rebounds, an assist, two blocks, and three 3-pointers as well.

      Advice: Holmgren improved upon his previous outing in his second-ever playoff game. He led all players in blocks and only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored more points in the contest. The rookie’s performance can help him carry confidence into his first road playoff game. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:15 pm
       
    • Still not scrimmaging
      Antetokounmpo (calf) has started doing stationary jump shooting but still isn't running or cutting as of Wednesday, Shams Charania reported on FanDuel's Run It Back.

      Advice: Damian Lillard had another stellar first-half performance in Game 2 but couldn't keep the Bucks close in the second half as the Pacers evened the series. Antetokounmpo's status for Game 3 on Friday likely won't be known until Thursday afternoon, but Charania suggests Milwaukee should be preparing to play without Antetokounmpo again. The MVP candidate has missed five straight games dating back to the regular season and hasn't played since April 9. However, if Antetokounmpo gets the green light, it's safe to expect he'll handle as many minutes as necessary in an attempt to keep the Bucks' postseason hopes alive.

    • Does not see the floor
      Anderson did not see the floor during Tuesday's 105-93 Game 2 win over the Suns.

      Advice: Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 2 after picking up a hip injury in Game 1, but despite being cleared to play, Anderson never left the bench. Instead, Minnesota rolled with an eight-man rotation with Nickeil Alexander-Walker playing 31 minutes off the bench, while Anthony Edwards (38) and Jaden McDaniels (41) also played heavy minutes on the wing.
