    • Massive line in Game 3 defeat
      Davis finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to Denver in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (14-23 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes.

      Advice: LeBron James has been the most influential all-around player for the Lakers in the series, but when it comes to putting up numbers, Davis has been leading the way. He's recorded at least 32 points with double-digit rebounds in the three games in the series so far. Davis should be in line to handle another heavy workload in Game 4 on Saturday regardless of whether he's on the injury report. Rotowire.com Today, 6:16 am
       
    • Carries Denver to Game 3 win
      Gordon posted 29 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Nikola Jokic finished just one assist away from a triple-double, and Jamal Murray had another impressive showing, but the Nuggets came through in Game 3 thanks to the energy and tenacity of Gordon, who stepped his game up when Denver needed him the most, especially in the third quarter. The 29-point output was Gordon's second-best scoring mark of the entire campaign, and he's averaging a solid 18.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game through the first three games of the series against the Lakers.

    • Anthony Davis records 33/15/3/1 line in Game 3
      Anthony Davis shot 14-of-23 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 loss to the Nuggets, accounting for 33 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Davis did take more shots in the fourth quarter of Game 3 (three) than in Game 2 (one), but it did not matter as the Lakers suffered an 11th straight loss to the Nuggets. He has produced quality individual stat lines when playing against Nikola Jokic, but it has not impacted winning. Look for Davis to play heavy minutes in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need a win to extend their season. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the odds aren’t in their favor, given recent history.

    • Aaron Gordon records 29/15/3/1 line in Game 3 win
      Aaron Gordon shot 12-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers, accounting for 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Gordon was outstanding in Game 3, leading Denver to its 11th straight win over the Lakers (regular season and playoffs). He established playoff career-highs in points and rebounds, and five of his 15 boards were of the offensive variety. All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters scored at least 20 points, with Michael Porter Jr. adding 20 along with 10 rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers. Denver will look to close out the Lakers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Available to face Denver
      Davis (back) is available for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

      Advice: As has been the trend throughout the regular season and the playoffs, Davis appeared on the injury report but has been listed as available closer to tipoff. Davis has averaged 32.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in the first two games of the series against the Nuggets. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:36 pm
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) questionable Friday
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as questionable for the Clippers’ Friday matchup against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his return to the hardwood in Game 2 with 15 points on 17 shots in a loss. Now he’s back on the injury report. Amir Coffey could return to the starting lineup if Leonard isn’t ready ahead of the weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:44 pm
       
    • Questionable to play Friday
      Leonard is questionable for Game 3 against the Mavericks on Friday due to right knee inflammation, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Leonard posted 15 points and seven rebounds in his return to action in Game 2. While he's included on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest, he did log 35 minutes in Game 2, so he should be in line to handle his regular workload in a pivotal matchup at home.

    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
      Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

      Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:24 pm
