    • Anthony Davis records 33/15/3/1 line in Game 3
      Anthony Davis shot 14-of-23 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 loss to the Nuggets, accounting for 33 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Davis did take more shots in the fourth quarter of Game 3 (three) than in Game 2 (one), but it did not matter as the Lakers suffered an 11th straight loss to the Nuggets. He has produced quality individual stat lines when playing against Nikola Jokic, but it has not impacted winning. Look for Davis to play heavy minutes in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need a win to extend their season. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the odds aren’t in their favor, given recent history.

    • Available to face Denver
      Davis (back) is available for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

      Advice: As has been the trend throughout the regular season and the playoffs, Davis appeared on the injury report but has been listed as available closer to tipoff. Davis has averaged 32.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in the first two games of the series against the Nuggets. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:36 pm
       
    • Probable for Thursday
      Davis (back) is probable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Davis played through the back issue during Game 2 and logged 39 minutes on his way to a 32-point, 11-rebound double-double, so it clearly didn't impact him all that much. We should get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:17 pm
       
    • Moves to bench
      Coffey will move to the bench for Tuesday's Game 2 versus Dallas, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

      Advice: This is an expected move for the Clippers, as Kawhi Leonard has the green light to return from his knee issue. Coffey was held in check in Game 1 on Sunday, scoring six points with three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:35 pm
       
    • Remains starter sans Leonard
      Coffey will start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Mavericks on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Coffey scored in double figures in five of his last six regular-season appearances, including an 18-point performance as a starter during the finale. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined, Coffey figures to play extended minutes to start the postseason, but Norman Powell and P.J. Tucker are also candidates for increased roles.

    • Drops 11 in defeat
      Murray closed with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to New Orleans.

      Advice: Murray had to leave the game in the second quarter due to a hip problem, and even though he returned in the second half, he didn't look at his best -- and he was certainly not as good as he was against the Warriors in the previous round of the Play-In Tournament. Murray ends his second professional campaign with averages of 15.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 33.6 minutes per game -- all slight improvements from his rookie season.

    • Keegan Murray (hip) limited to 11 points Friday
      Keegan Murray (left hip) shot 4-of-12 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Friday’s 105-98 loss to New Orleans, tallying 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: After torching the Warriors on Tuesday, Murray could not rebound from a slow start in Friday’s loss to New Orleans. He began 2-of-7 from the field, and suffering a left hip injury during the second quarter didn’t help. Murray did return and go on to play 38 minutes, but a solid second season in the NBA came to a disappointing end. Beginning the season with a Yahoo ADP of 104.5, the 2022 lottery pick ranked just outside the top 50 in 8- and 9-cat formats. The key for Murray moving forward will be to play with consistent aggression and not go through stretches in which he’s overly deferential to De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. At a minimum, he’ll be worth selecting with a top-75 pick in standard league drafts. Rotoworld Friday, 10:06 pm
       
    • Cleared to return
      Murray (hip) has returned to Friday's Play-In Game against New Orleans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Murray went to the locker room at the end of the first half with left hip soreness, but he's been cleared to return. He'll be asked to play a big role down the stretch with the Kings facing a nine-point deficit to begin the third quarter. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:02 pm
       
    • Heads to locker room
      Murray went to the locker room after suffering a left hip injury during the second quarter of Friday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Murray appeared to slip on a wet spot on the court, and he was reportedly favoring his hip on the way to the locker room, per Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento. Trey Lyles would likely be asked to step up if Murray can't return. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:43 pm
