    • Royce O’Neale held scoreless as starter in Game 3
      Royce O’Neale got the start on Friday and finished with zero points (0-of-5 FGs), five rebounds and two assists against Minnesota.

      Advice: O’Neale moved into the starting unit in place of Grayson Allen, who was sidelined with an ankle injury. However, it wasn’t a good performance for O’Neale, and he wrapped up his scoreless night with an airball with less than a minute left. If Allen remains sidelined for Game 4 on Sunday, O’Neale may get another start, but they’ll need a lot more out of him if they want to extend the series. He played 24 minutes in this game after playing 17 in their last one, which was also a scoreless night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:56 pm
       
    • Gets hot late in victory
      Irving finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite a sluggish start to the game, Irving delivered when it mattered, helping the Mavericks to an emphatic victory. Both he and Luka Doncic are at the peak of their powers at the moment. A repeat performance in Game 4 will see Dallas on the cusp of an impressive first-round victory. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:38 pm

    • Kyrie Irving scores 21 points despite slow start
      Kyrie Irving struggled early on Friday but still finished with 21 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and three triples against the Clippers in Game 3.

      Advice: Irving got off to an incredibly slow start in this game and entered halftime with just two points. He played well in both of the first two games of this series, but he didn’t get things going in Game 3 until after the break. His 19 second-half points were enough to allow Dallas to hang on and win this game despite a below average shooting night from Luka Doncic. They’ll look to take a 3-1 lead in the series in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:21 pm

    • 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 Yesterday, 7:09 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 7:01 pm
       
    • Listed as probable for Game 4
      James (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: James carrying probable tags due to left ankle soreness is par for the course. Fantasy managers should expect him to suit up with Los Angeles' season on the line, as the Lakers are winless through three games in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:20 pm

    • LeBron James (ankle) probable to play in Game 4
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against Denver on Saturday.

      Advice: LeBron continues to find himself on the injury report, but there is no way that he is missing a potential elimination game. He’ll play as many minutes as he needs to in order to keep the series going. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:15 pm

    • Scores 26 in Game 3 defeat
      James produced 26 points (12-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: James had another strong showing, but as has been the trend throughout the series, the Lakers couldn't maintain their lead and ended up losing, falling into an 0-3 deficit. James has done everything in his power to counter Denver, reaching the 25-point mark in all three of his appearances in the series while averaging 26.3 points, 9.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds across 40.3 minutes per contest.

    • Goes missing in Game 3 loss
      Bogdanovic finished with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Bogdanovic was a non-factor in the loss, playing only 13 minutes. At this point, his playing time is completely reliant on whether his shot is falling, something it was not doing Thursday. New York will look to bounce back Sunday when the two teams face off once again. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:33 pm
