    • CJ McCollum struggles, scores nine points vs. LAL
      CJ McCollum finished Tuesday’s 110-106 loss to the Lakers with nine points (4-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: With Brandon Ingram (11/4/4 with one 3-pointer in 25 minutes) still under a minutes restriction, the Pelicans could not afford a bad shooting night from McCollum. Unfortunately, that’s precisely what happened on Tuesday, putting them in a “winner-take-all” game against the Warriors or Kings on Friday. And McCollum entered the postseason on a high, scoring 25 points or more in seven straight games. With Zion Williamson’s status for Friday unknown due to left leg soreness, McCollum will need to come up big for a team that has lost its last six home games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:08 pm
       
    • Flirts with double-double in finale
      Holmgren closed with 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Sunday's 135-86 victory over the Mavericks.

      Advice: Holmgren's result was astounding considering his 12 minutes of usage in the blowout win. The Thunder's standout center sat early with the rest of the starters, but he had one of the best stat lines on the roster while logging the second-lowest minute total.

    • Scores 25 points in loss to Lakers
      McCollum recorded 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-108 loss to the Lakers.

      Advice: McCollum's touches on offense might decrease once Brandon Ingram is back at full speed, but that wasn't the case Sunday, and the veteran guard responded by extending his streak of games with 25 or more points to seven appearances. Plus, McCollum has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his outings dating back to March 22, so there's no question he figures to have a prominent role when the Pelicans take on the Lakers in the Play-In Tournament on Tuesday.

    • CJ McCollum scores 25, but Pels drop to 7 seed
      CJ McCollum provided 25 points, seven assists, four rebounds and four three-pointers across 34 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

      Advice: McCollum led New Orleans in scoring and added some useful peripherals, though his team lost in blowout fashion and fell back to the No. 7 seed. The Pels will be forced to play through the Play-In Tournament, which tips off Tuesday with a rematch against the Lakers. McCollum finished his second full season in New Orleans with averages of 20.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks and 3.6 triples while shooting 45.9% from the floor and 82.7% from the charity stripe. He did a little bit of everything in the box score and didn’t hurt managers significantly in any category. As a result of his stellar, well-rounded play, he provided third-round value to fantasy managers and ended the campaign as a steal based on his seventh-round Yahoo ADP in 2023-24 fantasy drafts.

    • Jamal Murray puts up 21/6/4 in win vs. Grizzlies
      Jamal Murray led Denver with 21 points (7-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three 3-pointers in a 126-111 win over Memphis on Sunday.

      Advice: Murray did most of his work in the first half of this game, as he scored 19 points before the break. Denver needed to win this game, but they were playing against the tanking Grizzlies, so they were able to manage the minutes of their starters. Murray only played 24 minutes in this game, so he would have had a better stat line if they were matched up against a better team. With the win, they will be the No. 2 seed in the West, which means they will match up with the winner of the Pelicans-Lakers Play-In game. New Orleans will be the 7th seed, but they dropped from 6th after the Lakers beat them on the final day of the regular season. Either way, Murray and the rest of the team will get a week off before they begin their quest to repeat as champions. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:00 pm
       
    • Chet Holmgren offers 13 points, nine boards Sunday
      Chet Holmgren shot 6-of-8 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s beating of the Mavericks, scoring 13 points with nine rebounds and one blocked shot in 12 minutes.

      Advice: Dallas did not play any of its starters, and predictably, the game got out of hand by halftime. That’s a difficult pill for Holmgren managers in active leagues to swallow, but there was no need for him or the other Thunder starters to play in the second half. Due to its win and Minnesota’s loss to Phoenix, Oklahoma City will be the 1-seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Holmgren has been an excellent fantasy asset in his rookie campaign, providing top-20 per-game value in 9-cat formats. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Jokic, Murray, KCP, Gordon available Sunday
      Nikola Jokic (left hip inflammation), Jamal Murray (right knee inflammation), Aaron Gordon (right foot strain), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (right shoulder strain) are available to play in Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

      Advice: With Michael Porter Jr. (illness) also available, Denver will stick with its usual starting five for Sunday’s game. How much they play could depend on what happens with Minnesota and Oklahoma City, as the Nuggets need both to lose (while winning themselves) to finish atop the Western Conference standings.

    • Cleared to play Sunday
      Murray (knee) is active for Sunday's regular-season finale against Memphis.

      Advice: Murray will suit up for a fifth consecutive contest, and he has boomed to the tune of 27.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists across his last three appearances. Denver is in a three-way tie for the top seed in the Western Conference, so a win is important Sunday, although Murray operating in a limited workload remains possible.

    • Will play Sunday
      Jokic (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

      Advice: Jokic and the rest of Denver's regulars have been upgraded from questionable to available, as the Nuggets attempt to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The MVP favorite has averaged 29.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 36.5 minutes over his last 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:57 am
