    • Dominates in Game 5 victory
      Doncic notched 35 points (14-26 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Doncic was a man of his word, providing Kyrie Irving with more help on the offensive end, leading all scorers with 35 points. The victory puts Dallas within one win of victory, leaving the Clippers on the brink of another underwhelming playoff campaign. The series will now shift back to Dallas, where Doncic will hope to replicate this performance. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 am
       
    • He’s back: Luka Doncic scores 35 points in blowout
      Luka Doncic finished Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Clippers with 35 points (14-of-26 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Having lamented after Game 4 that he wasn’t giving star teammate Kyrie Irving enough help, Doncic produced a masterclass despite still dealing with a sprained right knee. He shot 12-of-18 from two and dished out ten assists while only committing two turnovers as Dallas handed the Clippers their largest playoff defeat in franchise history. And as Doncic said in his postgame interview, the “job isn’t done,” as the Mavericks take a 3-2 series lead into Friday’s Game 6 in Dallas. Luka getting untracked to the level he did in Game 5 is an ominous development for the Clippers, even if he was just 2-of-8 from three. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (knee) active Wednesday vs. Clippers
      Luka Doncic (sprained right knee) is listed as active for Wednesday’s Mavericks-Clippers matchup.

      Advice: Doncic is set to suit up despite dealing with a knee injury and an illness. He’s fresh off a 29-point triple-double and will likely continue carrying a heavy workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:04 pm
       
    • Says he'll play Wednesday
      Doncic (knee/illness) said he'll play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: As expected, Doncic will play after being listed as probable with a sprained knee. The MVP candidate said if it was the regular season he probably wouldn't be playing through the knee pain and is also just getting over an illness, so despite being good to go, Doncic's effectiveness and overall workload is something to keep an eye on. He's averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 43.3 minutes over the first four games of the series, but he's shooting just 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

    • Terry Rozier (neck) ruled out for Game 5 Wednesday
      Terry Rozier (neck spasms) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Facing elimination, the Heat will be without three key rotation pieces in Boston. Rozier and Jimmy Butler (knee) remain sidelined, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) joining them on the sideline after injuring his hip during Monday’s Game 4 defeat. Caleb Martin will remain in the starting lineup, while Tyler Herro will continue to shoulder a heavy workload. Also, Jaquez joining the list of injured players may result in more rotation minutes for Patty Mills. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:31 pm
       
    • Remains out for Game 5
      Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Rozier will miss an 11th straight game due to a neck strain. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez (hip) are also out for the potential elimination game, so Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are all candidates for increased roles.

    • Luka Doncic (knee) probable Wednesday vs Clippers
      Luka Doncic (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday’s Mavericks-Clippers meeting.

      Advice: Doncic is likely to play despite the minor knee injury he’s dealing with. He recorded a triple-double and played 45 minutes in his last outing, so there’s no reason to worry about his production. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:31 am
       
    • Expected to play Game 5
      Doncic has a sprained knee and is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic still put up a triple-double during Sunday's Game 4 loss, but he tweaked his right knee, which has given him problems since Game 3. The MVP candidate is expected to suit up for the critical Game 5 in Los Angeles, but his effectiveness will be something to monitor. Doncic has averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists through the first four games of the series, but he's shooting only 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

    • Modest production again
      Holiday chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Holiday continues to put up mediocre stats, something that has been a trend all season long. He has had to take a back seat since arriving in Boston, especially on the offensive end. With that said, the Celtics recently signed him to a sizeable contract extension, highlighting just how important he is to the team despite the lack of tangible numbers. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:39 pm
