    • Anthony Davis finishes with 17/15/4 line in loss
      Anthony Davis recorded a double-double on Monday with 17 points (8-of-11 FGs), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks against Denver in Game 5.

      Advice: After a strong first half, AD exited the game briefly due to a left shoulder injury. While he was able to play through it, he really wasn’t the same player after that. 16 of his 17 points came before halftime, and if he stayed healthy, the result of this game may have been different. AD has been banged up all season, but he was still able to play a career-high 77 games. Davis has been knocked in fantasy hoops over the last few years by his lack of games played, but he may have flipped the script this season. He should go earlier in drafts next season, with managers hoping that he will be healthy once again. Rotoworld Monday, 9:46 pm
       
    • Battles through shoulder injury
      Davis suffered a left shoulder injury during the third quarter of Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets but was able to return after visiting the locker room. He recorded 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 40 minutes in the loss.

      Advice: Davis suffered the injury early in the third quarter on a play during which he took contact to his left shoulder, and though he was able to remain in the contest immediately afterward, he was barely able to use his left arm. The 31-year-old exited the game with four minutes left in the third quarter and went to the locker room, later returning for the final period. The injury seemed to impact Davis on the offensive end of the court, forcing LeBron James and Austin Reaves to shoulder heavy workloads down the stretch. Davis dominated on the glass throughout the opening-round series, averaging 15.6 boards over five games. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:44 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Davis (wrist) will play in Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

      Advice: Davis was added to the injury report as probable due to a left wrist sprain, and as anticipated, he'll be able to play through the injury Monday evening. LeBron James (ankle) has also been cleared to play, so the Lakers will have both top contributors available in a must-win game. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:23 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Jackson (ankle) will play in Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

      Advice: Jackson has been dealing with a minor ankle issue leading up to Monday's matchup, but he won't be forced to miss any action. His role figures to be limited again with Jamal Murray (calf) also being upgraded to available. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:18 pm
       
    • Ineffective in Game 4 loss
      Beal posted nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: This was Beal's worst game of the playoffs, and it resulted in the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves in the first round. For the fifth straight campaign, Beal was unable to eclipse 60 games and struggled with injuries. He ended up making 53 appearances in his first season with the Suns, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.

    • Boosts offense in balanced outing
      Maxey had 23 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Maxey provided Philadelphia with a well-rounded outing in the Game 4 defeat, connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending as one of two players with 20 or more points. Maxey has been one of the 76ers' best offensive producers in the first-round series, surpassing the 20-point mark in all four outings. Expect Maxey to continue to produce like he has all season, and maybe even more, in a win-or-go-home Game 5 against New York. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:53 pm
       
    • Likely to play in Game 5
      Davis (wrist) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Davis was questionable for Saturday's Game 4 due to his left wrist sprain, but he suited up and tallied 25 points, 23 rebounds, six assists and a block in 42 minutes. Assuming he's available Monday, it seems unlikely that he'll face any restrictions. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:46 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
      Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

      Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:37 pm
       
    • Probable for Monday
      Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

      Advice: Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:33 pm
