    • 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
       
    • 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.

    • Questionable for Game 3
      Middleton (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against Indiana.

      Advice: Middleton suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but was still able to play 36 minutes in the defeat. However, he didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Friday's game is up in the air. He'll presumably be monitored by the Bucks' medical staff in the hours leading up to tipoff before the team reveals his status. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Doesn't practice Thursday
      Middleton didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to a right ankle sprain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Middleton briefly exited Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers due to his ankle injury, and the issue is still bothering him a few days later. Coach Doc Rivers said there is "a little" concern regarding Middleton's availability for Friday's Game 3. The Bucks will likely continue to monitor the 32-year-old in the hours leading up to tipoff, but his absence would be particularly significant if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out.

    • Khris Middleton (ankle) does not practice Thursday
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) did not practice on Thursday.

      Advice: Middleton was able to play 36 minutes in Game 2 despite injuring his ankle in the first quarter. However, Doc Rivers said that there is “a little” concern about Middleton’s availability for Game 3. If he is forced to sit out, Jae Crowder, Malik Beasley and Pat Connaughton should all have to take on extra minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:42 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.

    • Flirts with double-double in win
      Toppin amassed nine points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Although Toppin has largely been a non-factor for the Pacers recently, he provided solid support in the second unit during the Game 2 victory. Players like Toppin can hold a lot of value for fantasy players in DFS contests, as his inexpensive salary can help lineups stay below the salary cap after adding elite players. His near double-double is an encouraging sign that Toppin can match the value of his DFS salary moving forward. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:50 am
