  • Myles Turner tallies 21 points, 10 rebounds Friday
    Myles Turner played 35 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Knicks, accounting for 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks, and two 3-pointers.

    Advice: Turner had his best all-around game of the series on Friday, as he surpassed the 20-point mark and recorded a double-double. The ten rebounds he corralled in Game 3 were one more than his total in Games 1 and 2, and he was also more of a deterrent at the rim (three blocks). While most of the focus ahead of Game 3 was on Tyrese Haliburton, and rightfully so, the Pacers also need a more consistent Turner on both ends of the floor. He played well on Friday and will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton scores 35 in Game 3 victory
    Tyrese Haliburton shot 14-of-26 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Friday’s 111-106 win over the Knicks, finishing with 35 points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, and six 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

    Advice: After scoring 34 points in Wednesday’s Game 2 defeat, Haliburton was one point better on Friday. And he was even more aggressive in looking for his shot, putting up 26 and shooting better than 50% from the field. And that didn’t crater his assist numbers, either, as Haliburton had two fewer (seven) than his total in Game 2. The lone concern for him heading into Game 4 on Sunday is health, as the Pacers point guard tweaked his right ankle on a layup attempt during the second half. Add a case of lower back spasms, and Haliburton may not be playing at full strength on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Back to bench
    Anderson will return to a reserve role in Friday's Game 3 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: No surprise here, as Rudy Gobert (personal) is back with the team. As a result, Anderson should take on his usual role providing depth at forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:03 pm
     
  • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 3 Friday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is available for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: As expected, Murray is officially available for a game the Nuggets must win. Whether or not he’ll play at full strength is another matter. Look for Murray to do what he can to play better than he did in the first two games of this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:47 pm
     
  • Available for Game 3
    Murray (calf) is available for Friday's Game 3 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Murray has been a regular on the injury report since the end of Denver's first-round series against the Lakers, but he continues to push through his calf issue. Through the first two games against Minnesota, Murray has really struggled, going a combined 9-of-32 from the field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:36 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) active Friday vs. Knicks
    Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Pacers-Knicks game.

    Advice: Haliburton is set to suit up once again. The Pacers point guard hasn’t missed any time because of his back spasms and should carry his usual workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:54 pm
     
  • Good to go for Game 3
    Brunson (foot) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: As expected, Brunson has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with right foot soreness. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) out, Brunson will likely need to continue his scoring dominance in order for the Knicks to take a 3-0 lead in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:38 pm
