    • Nikola Jokic dominates Wolves with 35/7/7/3/1
      Nikola Jokic provided 35 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals, a block and a three-pointer across 39 minutes in Sunday’s victory over Minnesota.

      Advice: Joker led his team in scoring and finished with his most points of this postseason run. He was a bit light on the peripheral contributions (especially for his lofty standards), but Jokic was still masterful across the board as he led his team to a much-needed win to even up the series with Minnesota. Jokic and Co. dropped their first two games of this series at Ball Arena, and after two road wins, they should be fired up for Tuesday’s home date with the Timberwolves. Expect the three-time MVP to deliver another strong performance in the much-anticipated Game 5. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Not running yet
      Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that Anunoby (hamstring) has been doing "pool work" but has yet to resume running, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Anunoby has missed the Knicks' last two games after suffering a left hamstring strain in the Knicks' 130-121 win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal round matchup with the Pacers. Based on Thibodeau's comments, Anunoby doesn't look as though he's on track to play in Tuesday's Game 5, though the Knicks haven't officially declared his status for that contest.

    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out for Game 4 Sunday
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Anunoby was not expected to be available for Game 4, so this status update is unsurprising. Precious Achiuwa started Game 3 and had issues defending Pascal Siakam. Anunoby’s absence also freed up rotation minutes for Alec Burks, who scored 14 points on Friday.

    • Ruled out for Game 4
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Nears triple-double in Game 3 win
      Jokic notched 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals over 38 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic did a little bit of everything for Denver in a much-needed Game 3 win on the road, leading all players in Friday's contest in rebounds, assists and blocks while adding a team-high-tying trio of steals and concluding as one of three Nuggets with 20 or more points. Jokic, who ended one dime shy of a triple-double, tallied his second straight double-double and has posted at least 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in every game of the conference semifinals thus far. Jokic looked much more comfortable in Game 3 than we saw earlier in the series, which could be great news for Denver as it tries to even the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:17 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic records 24/14/9/3/3 line in Game 3
      Nikola Jokic tallied 24 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 14 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes in Friday’s 117-90 win over Minnesota.

      Advice: Many pundits wanted to see an “MVP caliber” performance from Jokic in Game 3 and the NBA’s Most Valuable Player delivered on Friday. The Joker finished one assist shy of a triple-double while recording a full stat line with six “stocks.” Jokic thoroughly outplayed the Minnesota big men, with Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid combining for 13 points, six rebounds, and no blocked shots. He’ll look to produce another effort of this caliber in Game 4 on Sunday, as Minnesota still holds a two games to one lead. Rotoworld Friday, 9:16 pm
       
    • Woj: OG Anunoby could also miss Game 4 Sunday
      According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is not expected to be available for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby injured his hamstring during the third quarter of Wednesday’s Game 2 victory. While it has been reported that he will also miss the second of New York’s two games in Indianapolis, there’s a possibility that OG will be sidelined beyond that. Precious Achiuwa started Friday’s Game 3, and Anunoby’s absence also frees up additional minutes for Miles McBride. Rotoworld Friday, 4:24 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic wins third career MVP award
      Nikola Jokic was named winner of the KIA NBA Most Valuable Player award.

      Advice: Jokic winning the award, the third of his career, is unsurprising. The 7-footer from Serbia has won the award three times in the last four seasons, finishing second the one time he did not (2023). During the regular season, Jokic averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 1.1 3-pointers per game, recording 25 triple-doubles. Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Dallas’ Luka Doncic rounded out the top three in the voting. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo finished fourth, with Jalen Brunson coming in fifth.

    • Nears triple-double in Game 2 loss
      Jokic amassed 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 106-80 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic can change a game by himself at any point of a contest and is dominant enough to carry Denver to victory on a regular basis, but he hasn't been able to do it in the first two games of the current series. The two-time MVP winner is averaging 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game through seven playoff contests. While he remains an absolute stud in fantasy regardless of what happens with the Nuggets as a team, he needs his teammates to take a step forward to avoid an early exit in their quest to win back-to-back NBA titles.
