    • 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 Thursday, 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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.

    • Starts second half
      Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is starting the second half of Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope likely received additional treatment while in the locker room at halftime and will try yet again to give it a go. He suffered a left ankle sprain during the first quarter of Monday's matchup. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:28 pm
       
    • Back to locker room
      Caldwell-Pope walked back to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope suffered a sprained left ankle during the first quarter and didn't appear to be moving well after returning, per Benedetto. It's unclear whether he'll be able to come back for the second half. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:11 pm
       
    • Returns to action
      Caldwell-Pope (ankle) has been cleared to return to Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope spent a few minutes on an exercise bike after emerging from the locker room, and he was able to check into the game near the halfway mark of the second quarter. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Suffers ankle sprain
      Caldwell-Pope has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and is questionable to return to Monday's Game 5 against Los Angeles, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

      Advice: This is positive news for the Nuggets after it appeared Caldwell-Pope wasn't able to put any weight on his left leg immediately after suffering the injury. Christian Braun, Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday will likely be asked to step up if Caldwell-Pope can't return. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:39 pm
       
    • Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable to return
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is questionable to return to Game 5 against the Lakers on Monday.

      Advice: KCP turned his ankle on a fastbreak and may be forced to miss the remainder of Game 5. Christian Braun and Justin Holiday should see extended run in his absence. Rotoworld Monday, 7:33 pm
