    • Shines with 30-point game Saturday
      James ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.

    • 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
       
    • 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.

    • LeBron James tallies 30 points, full stat line
      LeBron James played 39 minutes in Saturday’s 119-108 win over the Nuggets, accounting for 30 points (14-of-23 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one blocked shot.

      Advice: James committed six turnovers, but the overall body of work was good enough to help the Lakers extend their season. He scored 14 of his team-high 30 points in the fourth quarter, as the Lakers broke even in the period (28-all). Add in only being a minus-2 in third-quarter points, a significant issue in the first three games of the series, and Darvin Ham’s team lives to fight another day. Even if LeBron shows up on the injury report ahead of Monday’s Game 5, look for him to approach (if not exceed) 40 minutes again. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:08 pm
       
    • LeBron James (ankle) available Saturday vs. Denver
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: James was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He will take on his usual responsibilities as the Lakers look to extend their season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm
       
    • Cleared to play
      James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

      Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:38 pm
       
    • Jalen Williams tallies 21/9/5/2 line in Game 3
      Jalen Williams posted a solid line on Saturday with 21 points (9-of-16 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and three triples against the Pelicans.

      Advice: JDub came out of the game early after getting poked in the eye, but he was able to return quickly and make a big impact on this game. Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey combined to score 66 of OKC’s 106 points in this game, and the Pelicans didn’t have an answer for the second straight game. Williams has been really solid through the first three games of his playoff career, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’ll look to keep it going in Game 4 to try and close out the series on Monday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:25 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen leads Cavs with 21/9 line in loss
      Jarrett Allen led Cleveland with 21 points (8-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds and one steal in a 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 on Saturday.

      Advice: Like everyone on Cleveland, most of Allen’s production came in the first half, and he only added five points after the break. The team only had 29 points after halftime, with some of that coming in garbage time. The Cavs couldn’t get anything going in the second half, but Allen was still able to have some success, which has been the case for most of this series. Allen’s numbers were better in their home games, and the series will shift back to Cleveland for Game 5. Allen will need to control the glass if they want to avoid going down 3-2 in this series.

    • Tyrese Haliburton ices Game 3 with floater
      Tyrese Haliburton recorded a triple-double on Friday with 18 points (8-of-22 FGs), 10 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one triple in a 121-118 win over Milwaukee in Game 3.

      Advice: Haliburton didn’t score much throughout the game, but he came up big when they needed him to. He struggled with his deep-range shot (1-of-12), so he chose to attack the basket with the game tied in overtime. He ended up knocking down a floater and converting the and-one to give them a 3-point victory. This was just the fourth playoff triple-double in franchise histroy, which was enough to help them take a 2-1 lead in the series. He may not have many big scoring nights in this series, but he has 36 assists through three games and has peovided them with a ton of offense. Rotoworld Friday, 6:20 pm
