  • Ejected in fourth quarter
    Westbrook was ejected from Saturday's 101-90 Game 3 loss to the Mavericks with 6:10 to play in the fourth quarter. He finished with one point (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 19 minutes.

    Advice: Westbrook let his frustrations get the best of him in this one. He was already carrying a technical foul when he proceeded to shove both Luka Doncic and P.J. Washington on the same play. Despite his outburst, a suspension is highly unlikely. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Russell Westbrook ejected in fourth quarter
    Russell Westbrook has been ejected from Game 3 against Dallas on Friday.

    Advice: After getting tangled up with Luka Doncic, Westbrook shoved Doncic away from him and threw push at PJ Washington after that. There were plenty of words exchanged as well, which ended Westbrook’s night halfway through the fourth quarter. He had one point on 1-of-7 shooting, so this was certainly a frustrating night for him.

  • Starting Game 3
    O'Neale will start Friday's Game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Advice: Grayson Allen (ankle) will sit out Game 3, but he's considered day-to-day and could be back for Game 4 on Sunday. In 14 starts during the regular season, O'Neale averaged 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.9 three-pointers. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Royce O’Neale to start in place of Grayson Allen
    Royce O’Neale will join Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic in the starting unit for Game 3 against Minnesota on Friday.

    Advice: Allen will miss Game 3 due to an ankle injury, which opens the door for O’Neale to move into the starting unit. Eric Gordon should also see some extra minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 7:01 pm
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) downgraded to out Friday
    Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) has been downgraded to out for Game 3 against Minnesota on Friday.

    Advice: Allen injured his ankle in Game 1, but he was able to suit up for Game 2. He injured is again in that game, and it will keep him sidelined as the series shifts to Phoenix. Eric Gordon or Royce O’Neale should start in his place, with both seeing extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 6:43 pm
     
  • Won't play Friday
    Allen (ankle) will not play in Friday's Game 3 versus the Timberwolves.

    Advice: This is a tough blow for the Suns, as Allen has been key to Phoenix's floor spacing this season. He was able to get in a limited practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, so the Suns could potentially get him back for Game 4 on Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run in the meantime. Rotowire.com Today, 6:39 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton ices Game 3 with floater
    Tyrese Haliburton recorded a triple-double on Friday with 18 points (8-of-22 FGs), 10 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one triple in a 121-118 win over Milwaukee in Game 3.

    Advice: Haliburton didn’t score much throughout the game, but he came up big when they needed him to. He struggled with his deep-range shot (1-of-12), so he chose to attack the basket with the game tied in overtime. He ended up knocking down a floater and converting the and-one to give them a 3-point victory. This was just the fourth playoff triple-double in franchise histroy, which was enough to help them take a 2-1 lead in the series. He may not have many big scoring nights in this series, but he has 36 assists through three games and has peovided them with a ton of offense. Rotoworld Today, 6:20 pm
     
  • Nears 30 points despite injury
    Lillard posted 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

    Advice: Despite leaving Friday's game briefly with a knee injury, Lillard finished the Game 3 contest while leading all Bucks players in assists and ending two points shy of the 30-point mark to provide a boost offensively in a losing effort. Lillard, who was perfect from the free-throw line to go along with a team-high-tying mark from three, has posted at least 28 points in all three games of the quarterfinals. It will be worth monitoring Lillard's status ahead of Game 4 and if he has an issues with his left knee that limits his availability. Rotowire.com Today, 6:01 pm

    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 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 back. He put a brace on his right knee when he came back to the bench, but quickly removed it before checking back into the game. Rotowire.com Today, 5:50 pm
