  • 94-82-4 1st Place
    • Posts triple-double in win
      Doncic provided 31 points (12-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Doncic has been playing through several ailments of late, but that didn't seem to slow him down Wednesday, as he posted his second triple-double of the series while carrying the Mavericks to a huge road win. The Mavericks are now potentially 48 minutes away from reaching the Western Conference Finals, and Doncic is expected to play a prominent role on offense in Game 6 on Saturday.

    • Luka Doncic rebounds, posts 31/10/11/0/1 stat line
      Luka Doncic shot 12-of-22 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 104-92 win over the Thunder, accounting for 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, one blocked shot, and five 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Injuries have been an issue for Doncic throughout this series, but there was also the habit of focusing too much on the officials. Playing with an apparent laser focus, the Mavericks point guard came up huge in Dallas’ Game 5 victory. Doncic recorded an efficient triple-double, shooting better than 50% from the field and controlling the action. With Kyrie Irving (12/2/4/1 with two 3-pointers in 39 minutes) taking a back seat offensively, the Mavericks need Doncic to be at his best. That was the case on Wednesday, and Game 6 isn’t until Saturday in Dallas. Doncic will get a welcome respite before the Mavericks look to end the series at home. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Max Strus hits three 3-pointers in Game 5 loss
      Max Strus scored 12 points (3-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs) with seven rebounds, nine assists, and three 3-pointers in 44 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics.

      Advice: Strus didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but the overall line was solid for DFS players who may have slotted him into their lineups. The nine assists were a postseason high for the Cavaliers wing, who was asked to take on additional offensive responsibilities with Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert unavailable. Based on his Yahoo ADP, Strus was expected to provide late-round value this season, and that’s precisely what he did. Starting 70 games during the regular season, Strus established career-high averages in points (12.2), rebounds (4.8), assists (4.0), steals (0.9), and blocks (0.4). The best way for Strus to threaten top 100 status would be to improve the field-goal percentage, as he shot just 41.8% in 2023-24. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:21 pm
       
    • All-around outing in Game 5 defeat
      Strus ended Wednesday's 113-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 12 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists in 45 minutes.

      Advice: Strus put up a well-rounded stat line, handing out a team-high-tying assist total to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark in a near double-double outing. Strus reached double figures in scoring in three of the five games against Boston, adding at least seven rebounds and seven assists in the final two games of the series.

    • Good to go for Game 5
      Doncic (ankle/knee) is active and starting Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Doncic was initially labeled probable with lingering knee and ankle injuries, but, as expected, he will suit up for Wednesday's tilt. Considering he hasn't faced any restrictions since sustaining the injury, Doncic should see as many minutes as he can handle in the pivotal matchup. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:14 pm
       
    • Out of starting lineup
      Giddey will come of the bench for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Mavericks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

      Advice: Giddey has seen his playing time drop off drastically during the series, seeing fewer than 15 minutes in three straight contests. He's been a non-factor against Dallas, averaging 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.3 minutes per contest. Isaiah Joe will replace him in the starting lineup next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the backcourt. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:11 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) available for Game 5
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.

      Advice: As expected, Doncic is available for Wednesday’s pivotal Game 5. The injuries have factored into the Mavericks point guard’s inefficiency in this series, and he’ll need to be better if Dallas is to win and take a 3-2 lead. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:02 pm
       
    • Donovan Mitchell (calf) ruled out for Game 5 Weds.
      Donovan Mitchell (left calf strain) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: The status update is unsurprising, given that it was reported on Wednesday afternoon that Mitchell was expected to miss a second consecutive game. With Caris LeVert also out, Dean Wade moves into the starting lineup, and Isaac Okoro shifts from the four to the three. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:29 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 5
      Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 in Boston, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Mitchell will be joined on the sidelines by Caris LeVert (knee) and Jarrett Allen (ribs), leaving Cleveland quite thin going into a potential elimination game. Expect big minutes for Max Strus, Dean Wade and Sam Merrill, with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley doing the heavy lifting on offense. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:20 pm
