    • LeBron James (ankle) probable Tuesday vs. Pelicans
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is listed as probable for Tuesday’s Lakers-Pelicans play-in contest.

      Advice: James is likely to play after finishing off the regular season with a triple-double. There’s no reason to believe he won’t be active in an important game that could drastically affect the Lakers’ playoff outlook. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:44 pm
       
    • Probable for Tuesday
      James (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he'll likely be able to suit up as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. He appeared in the team's final three regular-season games and averaged 32.7 points, 11.0 assists, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm
       
    • Records first career triple-double
      Strus amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and 11 assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets.

      Advice: Strus was more involved in the offense Sunday with Donovan Mitchell (knee), Darius Garland (back) and Caris LeVert (knee) all sitting out of the Cavs' regular-season finale. Strus took advantage of the expanded role as he registered the first triple-double of his career and a career-high 11 assists. He ends his first regular season in Cleveland averaging 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 32.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:04 am
       
    • Ends regular season in style
      James produced 28 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 17 assists, one block and five steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-108 win over the Pelicans.

      Advice: James was omnipresent Sunday and saved one of his best performances of the season for a game where the Lakers needed him the most. The 17 assists were a season-high mark for James, and this was also his fifth triple-double of the campaign, as he seems to be ready for the Play-In matchup against New Orleans on Tuesday.

    • Hits 40-point mark in OT win Sunday
      Brunson recorded 40 points (14-30 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime win over Chicago.

      Advice: The Knicks were playing for the second seed in the Eastern Conference, and the team needed Brunson to be at his best if New York was to have a chance of stealing that spot from the Bucks. As has been the case all season long, Brunson thrived when the Knicks needed him the most, and he reached the 40-point mark for the 11th time this season -- and third since the beginning of April. Brunson will enter the playoffs in a sizzling run, having scored 30 or more points in seven consecutive appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:22 pm
       
    • Records double-double Sunday
      Vucevic closed with 29 points (12-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks.

      Advice: The Bulls were already locked into a Play-In matchup against the Hawks, but that didn't seem to matter, and their starters handled a regular workload, though that translated to them putting up solid numbers across the board. Vucevic was not the exception, as he recorded a double-double for the third time over his last five appearances, meaning he will enter the Play-In matchup against the Hawks on a good run of form and ready for a battle against Clint Capela. Vucevic recorded 44 double-doubles during the regular season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:19 pm
       
    • Makes his mark in season finale
      Caruso registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and five steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks.

      Advice: The Bulls entered Sunday's slate locked in the ninth seed and ready to face the Hawks in the Play-in Tournament, but their starters handle a regular workload. Caruso was not the exception, as he filled the stat sheet admirably while recording five or more steals just for the third time this season. His scoring comes and goes, but Caruso remains a reliable fantasy alternative due to his ability to fill the stat sheet, as evidenced in this contest. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:15 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns plays 29 minutes vs. Suns
      Karl-Anthony Towns (left meniscus surgery) finished Sunday’s 125-106 loss to Phoenix with 10 points (3-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes.

      Advice: After playing 28 minutes in his first game back from knee surgery on Friday, Towns logged 29 on Sunday. Rust may still be an issue, as in addition to shooting 3-of-8 from the field, KAT was responsible for five turnovers. Phoenix won all three meetings with the Timberwolves, but Towns missed the second, and the postseason is an entirely different animal. Naz Reid again came off the bench, finishing Sunday’s defeat with 10 points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:40 pm
       
    • LeBron James ends 21st season w/ triple-double
      LeBron James finished Sunday’s blowout win over New Orleans with 28 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists, five steals and a block across 38 minutes.

      Advice: James ended the season with a statement win over New Orleans to secure the No. 8 seed for his team and knock New Orleans back to the No. 7 seed. As a result of the victory, the Lakers will face the Pelicans again on Tuesday with a trip to the playoffs on the line. James posted the 122nd triple-double of his career, becoming the second-oldest player to achieve that feat at 39 years and 106 days old. King James was spectacular in his 21st season, showing that age really is just a number. He averaged 25.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists, and no other player in NBA history has reached those statistical milestones after their 10th season. James surpassed 40,000 career points this season and appeared in his 20th All-Star game, and he looks like he’s still got at least a couple of seasons left in the tank. His real-life performance was phenomenal, but his fantasy production was equally impressive. James provided top-20 per-game fantasy value, and he appeared in 71 games - his most since joining the Lakers. It’s hard to keep coming up with superlatives for James, a man who’s reached unprecedented territory in terms of longevity and sustained success. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:33 pm
