    • Christian Wood (knee) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
      Christian Wood (left knee surgery) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Lakers-Nuggets matchup.

      Advice: Wood hoped to return to the hardwood for Game 3 but needs more time to recover from the knee surgery he underwent. Jaxson Hayes will continue backing up Anthony Davis at center in the meantime. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:29 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 3
      Wood (knee) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Wood has been ramping up his workload and was hopeful that he would be able to get back to the court for Game 3, but the medical staff will hold him out for at least one more game. His next chance to play will come Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:20 pm
       
    • Sees 21 minutes in win
      Lively contributed seven points (2-5 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Daniel Gafford started this game, but he was ineffective in just nine minutes of action and left the game briefly due to a back injury. Lively had more success, obviously, but he didn't get a ton of burn either, as Maxi Kleber and P.J. Washington soaked up the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. The logjam at center is far from ideal for fantasy purposes for both Gafford and Lively. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:09 am
       
    • Leads all scorers Tuesday
      Doncic chipped in 32 points (11-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Doncic carried Dallas to victory Tuesday despite struggling from the field. In a low-scoring affair, Doncic hit several crucial buckets down the stretch, much like he has done all season. They will now return home for what will be a pivotal Game 3. Look for Doncic to put on a show in front of his home fans. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 am
       
    • Luka Doncic scores game-high 32 points in Game 2
      Luka Doncic shot 11-of-26 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 96-93 win over the Clippers, accounting for 32 points, six rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block, and five 3-pointers in 46 minutes.

      Advice: After going 0-8 during the regular season in games where they scored fewer than 100 points, the Mavericks picked up a much-needed victory to even the series at one game apiece. Doncic put on a show, surpassing the 30-point mark for a second straight game. However, while the Game 1 production felt like “empty calories” due to the Mavericks coming out slowly and getting blown out, there was no such issue for Doncic on Tuesday. As a result, the series is tied headed to Dallas for Game 3 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:05 pm
       
    • Out for remainder of game
      Hardaway won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain. He will finish the contest with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes.

      Advice: Hardaway saw minimal action Tuesday before suffering a right ankle sprain that will cause him to miss the remainder of the contest. Dante Exum and Josh Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hardaway's availability for Game 3 on Friday is uncertain. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:06 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) will not return Tuesday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway landed awkwardly after being bumped in mid-air by Paul George while attempting a 3-pointer. The play wasn’t malicious on George’s part, but Hardaway sprained his ankle and has since been ruled out for the rest of Game 2. Josh Green was the first perimeter sub off the bench in the third quarter, likely a sign that his minutes will be impacted the most by THJ’s absence. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:52 pm
       
    • Goes for 21 points in Game 1 loss
      Murphy notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Murphy extended his streak of games scoring in double figures to 14 appearances (12 starts), and he ended up as New Orleans' leading scorer in this Game 1 loss while carrying the team at times in the second and third quarters. Murphy can get hot in any moment of a game, but even if that doesn't happen, he sees enough touches to make a consistent impact on offense. Expect Murphy to remain in the first unit -- while experiencing a slight uptick in his usage rate -- as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains out. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:19 am
       
    • Trey Murphy hits five triples, scores 21 points
      Trey Murphy logged 44 minutes in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder, posting a line of 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks, and five 3-pointers.

      Advice: Once again starting for the injured Zion Williamson (hamstring), Murphy was excellent on both ends of the floor in Game 1. The third-year wing made some timely baskets as the Pelicans mounted a rally that fell two points short while racking up four “stocks.” Offseason knee surgery derailed Murphy’s progress early in the season, but he has played solid basketball recently, outside of the Pelicans’ regular-season finale against the Lakers. With Oklahoma City devoting much of their defensive attention to CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram, Murphy and Herb Jones won’t lack opportunities to score. Jones struggled in Game 1, shooting 2-of-10 from the field and finishing with eight points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:42 pm
