  • 95-82-3 4th Place
    • Downgraded to out
      Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

      Advice: As expected, Hardaway has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to a right ankle sprain. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for increased roles, while Jaden Hardy may crack the postseason rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 11:00 am
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) out for Game 4 Sunday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway will miss a second straight game after spraining his ankle during Game 2. Josh Green and Dante Exum will play key roles off the bench, with the former having logged 25 minutes in Game 3. Rotoworld Today, 10:58 am
       
    • Stars in Game 4 win
      Wagner finished Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 34 points (13-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 40 minutes.

      Advice: Wagner didn't score more than 18 points through the first three matchups of the opening-round series but exploded for a game-high 34 in Game 4 and was incredibly efficient. His 34 points marked his most since Feb. 8, and his 13 rebounds were a career high. Wagner struggled mightily with his three-point shot to end the regular season, but he's made at least two triples in three of four postseason games thus far. Rotowire.com Today, 7:43 am
       
    • Doubtful to play in Game 4
      Hardaway is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

      Advice: Hardaway left Game 2 of the series Tuesday after just six minutes of action and didn't feature in Game 3, so he's been extremely limited in the series. The doubtful tag isn't encouraging ahead of Sunday's contest, but an official announcement should be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if he's available, Hardaway would likely come off the bench, and his minutes could be closely monitored given his recent injury issues. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) doubtful to play Game 4
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) is listed as doubtful to play in Game 4 against the Clippers on Sunday.

      Advice: THJ missed Game 3 after exiting early from Game 2. Josh Green ended up playing 25 minutes off the bench, while Dante Exum logged 12 minutes. With Hardaway Jr. expected to miss another game, both Green and Exum will play important roles off the bench. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:39 pm
       
    • Franz Wagner drops 34/13/4 in Game 4 win over Cavs
      Franz Wagner led the Magic with 34 points (13-of-17 FGs), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and two triples in a 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 on Saturday.

      Advice: Wagner took over in the third quarter, scoring 12 points in the period as Orlando outscored the Cavs 37-10. The Magic trailed by nine points at halftime, but they won by 23 because of elite defense and Wagner’s offense. He has been solid in this series, but Wagner played like a true star in this one, which was needed with Paolo Banchero (9 points) struggling. They tied the series up with two convincing wins, and they’ll need to bring some of this offense with them to Cleveland for Game 5 if they want to take a lead in this series. After averaging 84.5 points in the first two games of this series, they have averaged 116.5 over the last two. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:04 pm
       
    • Nears double-double Thursday
      Wagner provided 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Wagner is known for his scoring ability, but in a game where Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs carried the offense, Wagner made his presence felt as a distributor, with his eight assists being his highest output since Dec. 26. Wagner should remain a capable presence on the offensive side of the ball for the Magic, as he's averaged 17.3 points per game through the first three contests of this first-round series.

    • Franz Wagner dishes out eight assists in blowout
      Franz Wagner shot 6-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s rout of the Cavaliers, accounting for 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Like Paolo Banchero, Wagner took much better care of the basketball than in Game 2. After committing six turnovers in that defeat, Franz did not record any in Game 3. In fact, Orlando’s starters were responsible for just one turnover, which was a major factor in the Magic’s first win of the series. Wagner will look to do more of the same in Game 4 on Saturday, with Cleveland still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:19 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) ruled out for Game 3
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not play in Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: THJ exited early from Game 2 after an awkward fall, and he will remain sidelined for Game 3. Josh Green should fill out his role off the bench, though he went scoreless in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Dante Exum should also take on some extra minutes. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:13 am
