    • Malik Beasley to start Game 4 for injured Lillard
      Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez will start Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: The Bucks are without Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), with the former aggravating a previous injury during the Game 3 overtime loss. Beasley moves into the starting lineup, with Portis continuing to fill in for Giannis. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
       
    • Joins starting lineup
      Beasley is starting Sunday's Game 4 against Indiana.

      Advice: Beasley came off the bench in the first three games of the Bucks' first-round series and averaged 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game. He'll join the starting lineup Sunday since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
       
    • Dealing with calf strain
      Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

      Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Monday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

      Advice: While Murray’s injury during Saturday’s Game 4 defeat appeared to be a tweak, he has been officially diagnosed with a strained left calf. Denver’s depth is already limited due to a lack of consistent production from the bench, so losing Murray would be a significant development. Reggie Jackson will move into the starting lineup if he cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm
       
    • Drops dud Saturday
      LeVert finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: LeVert's three-point shot failed him in Game 4, and he's now shooting just 23.5 percent from deep during the postseason. He should continue to operate as Cleveland's top bench option, but LeVert has scored in double figures just once through four postseason games after averaging 17.9 points on 54.3 percent shooting across his final seven regular-season appearances.

    • Scores 22 points with 23 shots
      Murray racked up 22 points (9-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Murray's shooting woes continued in Game 4, as he finished with nine or fewer shots made while attempting 20-plus for the fourth consecutive contest. His numbers on the surface look good, as Murray is averaging 21.5 points per game while the Nuggets are 3-1 up in the series, but he's shooting a woeful 38 percent from the field. The Nuggets need him to be more efficient if they want to close the series out in Game 5 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Poor shooting effort in Game 3
      Herro finished with 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Herro had a rough outing Saturday, as he had a tough time when matched up against Jaylen Brown, and he finished the game with more field-goal attempts than points scored. That's not an encouraging performance from a player that needs to steps up offensively, particularly with Jimmy Butler (knee) sidelined. Through three games in the current series against the Celtics, Herro has gone 16-for-42 from the field while failing to surpass the 15-point mark twice. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:15 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray finishes Game 4 loss with 22 points
      Jamal Murray logged 39 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, producing 22 points (9-of-23 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, and one blocked shot.

      Advice: While Murray has scored 20 points or more in all four games, the Lakers have done what they can to make him an inefficient scorer. He’s shot below 40% from the field in all four games and racked up four turnovers in Games 3 and 4. Denver won the first three games of the series despite Murray’s struggles, but the Lakers’ inability to maintain leads was also a factor. Los Angeles was only a minus-2 in third-quarter points on Saturday, which, along with Murray’s struggles, factored into the outcome. He’ll look to turn things around in Game 5 on Monday night.

    • Rough night Saturday
      McCollum produced 16 points (7-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: McCollum went just 7-of-22 from the field, summing up another rough night for the Pelicans. After falling behind early, New Orleans was never able to get back into the game, shooting just 38.1 percent from the floor as a team. Game 4 will be Monday, when the Pelicans will look to restore some pride by avoiding a sweep. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:25 pm
