    • LeBron James tallies 26 points, nine assists
      LeBron James finished Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets with 26 points (12-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes.

      Advice: After shooting 6-of-11 from three in Denver, LeBron’s jumper betrayed him in Game 3. He finished Game 3 shooting 60% from the field overall but just 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. The Lakers have lost their last 11 games against the Nuggets, and James was on the court for ten. He’s had a good statistical series through three games, but it hasn’t mattered, as Denver has the Lakers’ number. Look for LeBron to log heavy minutes in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need a win to keep their season alive. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:18 pm
       
    • Aaron Gordon records 29/15/3/1 line in Game 3 win
      Aaron Gordon shot 12-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 win over the Lakers, accounting for 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Gordon was outstanding in Game 3, leading Denver to its 11th straight win over the Lakers (regular season and playoffs). He established playoff career-highs in points and rebounds, and five of his 15 boards were of the offensive variety. All three of Denver’s frontcourt starters scored at least 20 points, with Michael Porter Jr. adding 20 along with 10 rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers. Denver will look to close out the Lakers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Available to play
      James (ankle) is available to play in Thursday's Game 3 versus the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

      Advice: As is usually the case, James was carrying a probable tag prior to this update due to lingering left ankle soreness. James is not expected to have any restrictions as the Lakers attempt to pick up their first win of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:32 pm
       
    • LeBron James, Anthony Davis available for Game 3
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Anthony Davis (low back soreness) are available for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: It’s no surprise that James and Davis are available, as they were probable on the initial injury report. They’ll take on their usual responsibilities, with the latter possibly being more of a focal point offensively after attempting just one shot in the fourth quarter of Game 2.

    • Shams: Zion Williamson likely out for first round
      Zion Williamson (left hamstring) could return if New Orleans makes it out of the first round, per Shams Charania.

      Advice: If Williamson plays during this postseason, it will require the Pelicans to make it out of the first round. They’re currently down 0-2 to the top-seeded Thunder and lost by 32 points on Wednesday. Anything can happen in the playoffs, but it seems like Zion’s next game will be their season opener in October. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:39 am
       
    • LeBron James, Anthony Davis probable for Thursday
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Anthony Davis (low back soreness) are probable for the Lakers’ Game 3 matchup against the Nuggets on Thursday.

      Advice: Both the Lakers’ stars are likely to be a go for Game 3 of their first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday. The duo will look to bounce back at home after a pair of road losses. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:36 pm
       
    • Another probable tag
      James (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 2 against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: James has been listed as probable for each of the first two games of the series but has averaged 39.5 minutes per contest. Considering he's looked to be 100 percent in both games and has been an injury report mainstay this season, fantasy managers should expect James to be available Thursday.

    • Scores 22 points in Game 2 loss
      Lopez recorded 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt), three assists, two blocks and one rebound in 29 minutes in Tuesday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Though Lopez drilled a season-high six three-pointers, his rebound production was conspicuously absent. His one rebound matched a season low for Lopez, who has seen a noticeable drop in the category during his 16th NBA campaign. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:19 am
       
    • Leads all scorers Tuesday
      Doncic chipped in 32 points (11-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Doncic carried Dallas to victory Tuesday despite struggling from the field. In a low-scoring affair, Doncic hit several crucial buckets down the stretch, much like he has done all season. They will now return home for what will be a pivotal Game 3. Look for Doncic to put on a show in front of his home fans. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:14 am
