    • Jalen Suggs (knee) goes off for 24 points Thursday
      Jalen Suggs (left knee strain) shot 9-of-11 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland, amassing 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

      Advice: After injuring his knee during the first half of Monday’s Game 2 loss, Suggs was at his best in Game 3. In addition to recording a full stat line, he provided the Magic with some much-needed perimeter shooting as Orlando picked up its first win of the series. Orlando will need a similar effort in Game 4 on Saturday as they look to even the series. Rotoworld Today, 6:24 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner dishes out eight assists in blowout
      Franz Wagner shot 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s rout of the Cavaliers, accounting for 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner took much better care of the basketball than in Game 2. After committing six turnovers in that defeat, Franz did not record any in Game 3. In fact, Orlando’s starters were responsible for just one turnover, which was a major factor in the Magic’s first win of the series. Wagner will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Saturday, with Cleveland still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Today, 6:19 pm
       
    • Won't face limitations in Game 3
      Suggs won't face a minutes limit during Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he practiced fully Wednesday and did so again Thursday morning. He's averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over the first two matchups in the series. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 am
       
    • Good to go for Game 3
      Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Goes through practice
      Suggs (knee) was able to practice Wednesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

      Advice: Coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs is feeling better, and previous reports have indicated that the guard is expected to play in Game 3 Thursday against the Cavaliers. Fantasy managers can expect more clarity when Orlando releases their official injury report Wednesday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 am
       
    • Ekes out double-double in win
      Haliburton provided 12 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Although Haliburton's former reputation as a prolific scorer has faded throughout the season, his skill as a facilitator is as strong as ever. The Pacers could use a dose of Haliburton's former shot volume as they attempt to advance, but recent trends show that big scoring numbers for the guard may not be coming. He's now gone four consecutive games with 20 points or less and has exceeded that number only four times over his past 10 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:03 am
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton posts double-double in Game 2
      Tyrese Haliburton finished Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks with 12 points (4-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: While Haliburton’s scoring production remained below his usual standard in Game 2, he was much more impactful as a playmaker. The All-Star point guard dished out 12 helpers in the Pacers’ victory after accumulating eight in Game 1. Indiana won Game 2 in the paint, scoring 52 of its 125 points in that area. Also, Haliburton and the rest of the team were a plus-9 in fast break points. They’ll look to do more of the same in Game 3 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:06 pm
       
    • Expects to play in Game 3
      Suggs said after Monday's 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers that he doesn't think his sprained left knee injury will keep him from playing Thursday in Game 3 of the series, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered the injury in the first quarter Monday, when he collapsed to the floor after making contact with Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell. Suggs grabbed his leg in visible pain after the play and didn't put any weight on his leg as he was assisted to the locker room, but he was able to return to the contest after halftime while sporting a compression sleeve on his leg. He ended up playing well down the stretch, finishing with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Adrenaline might have played a part in Suggs feeling well enough to return, so the Magic will wait and see how his knee responds over the next two days before deciding whether he's fit to play in Game 3 with the Magic facing a 2-0 series deficit.

    • Hits go-ahead three-pointer for win
      DiVincenzo totaled 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The Knicks mounted a late rally to get within striking distance and DiVincenzo sealed the win, thanks to a last-second miss from Joel Embiid. The efficient wingman failed to meet expectations in Game 1, but he shot 50 percent from the floor Monday night to help give the Knicks a 2-0 series lead. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:59 am
