    • Sniffs triple-double in Game 3
      Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

    • Nikola Jokic posts 24/15/9/1 stat line in Game 3
      Nikola Jokic amassed 24 points (9-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, nine assists, and one steal in 39 minutes in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers.

      Advice: All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters accounted for at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, with Jokic finishing one assist shy of a triple-double. The Nuggets have now won the last 11 games they’ve played against the Lakers, and it feels like a matter of “when” they’ll end this series rather than “if.” Game 4 is on Saturday night, and Jokic could once again approach 40 minutes as the Nuggets go for the sweep.

    • Josh Hart hits four 3-pointers, scores 20 points
      Josh Hart shot 8-of-16 from the field in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers, accounting for 20 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Hart continues to flourish offensively, as Philadelphia does not appear convinced in his ability to shoot the basketball. The former Villanova standout shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc in Game 3, moving to 12-of-23 for the series. Given the sample size, Philadelphia may look to adjust its approach to defending Hart, which means the Knicks will need more from Donte DiVincenzo. While responsible for a thunderous second-quarter dunk, the “Big Ragu” missed all three of his 3-point attempts and finished with five points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes. New York will take a 2-1 series lead into Sunday’s Game 4. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Goes for 22 points in Game 2
      Porter totaled 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 101-99 victory over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Porter sniffed a double-double for the second consecutive game after delivering a 19-point, eight-rebound effort in Game 1 on Saturday, and the forward continues to impact both ends of the court for Denver. Even though he doesn't get the same attention as Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray, Porter is a key piece in the Nuggets' offensive scheme, and he's averaging 16.2 points with 7.3 rebounds per game in April, including regular-season contests.

    • Posts triple-double in Game 2 win
      Jokic closed Monday's 101-99 win over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 41 minutes.

      Advice: Jamal Murray might have grabbed most of the headlines after draining a buzzer-beating, game-winning shot to lift Denver to victory, but Jokic's contributions can't be overlooked, as the MVP favorite posted a triple-double while dealing with the menace of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court. Jokic extended an impressive run that has seen him record a double-double or a triple-double in each of his last 16 games, a span in which he's averaging 28.3 points, 13.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.

    • Logs stellar 21/15 double-double
      Hart provided 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 48 minutes during Monday's 104-101 victory over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Hart enjoyed another heroic stat line after posting a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in Game 1. Jalen Brunson's shooting slump has rendered Hart as the most consistent producer for New York in the quarterfinals, and the latter's 19 first-half points kept the Knicks afloat early.

    • Michael Porter Jr. hits six 3-pointers, scores 22
      Michael Porter Jr. amassed 22 points (8-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, and six 3-pointers in 38 minutes in Monday’s 101-99 win over the Lakers.

      Advice: While Jamal Murray got hot in the fourth quarter, he shot 3-of-16 from the field in the first three periods of Game 2. Porter was one of the Nuggets who helped keep the team afloat, as Denver trailed by as much as 20 before rallying to take a 2-0 series lead. With the amount of attention the Lakers devote to Murray and Nikola Jokic, Porter and Aaron Gordon (14/7/3 in 40 minutes) will have opportunities to score. MPJ stepped up in a big way and was one of the unsung heroes in Game 2. The Nuggets head to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday night. Rotoworld Monday, 9:58 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic records 27/20/10/2 line in Game 2
      Nikola Jokic finished Monday’s 101-99 win over the Lakers with 27 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), 20 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Jokic recorded his 17th career playoff triple-double in Game 2, with the stat line including 20 of the Nuggets’ 45 rebounds on the night. Anthony Davis may have outscored him (32-27), but the Joker’s ability to impact games as a playmaker sets him apart from the competition. The Nuggets have now won the last ten meetings between the teams, and it’s fair to wonder if the streak has affected the psyche of the Lakers. The Nuggets visit Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday.

    • Josh Hart tallies 21 points, 15 rebounds in Game 2
      Josh Hart finished Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 48 minutes.

      Advice: Hart played every second of Game 2, with his steal sparking a sequence capped by Donte DiVincenzo’s game-winning three with 13.1 seconds remaining. The 76ers continued to let Hart fire away from beyond the arc, and he made them pay for the second straight game. The Knicks wing was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc in Game 2, in addition to recording another double-double. Philadelphia did a much better job on the boards than in Game 1, but the approach of simply letting Hart shoot may need to change heading into Thursday’s Game 3. Rotoworld Monday, 7:47 pm
