  • Questionable to play Friday
    Leonard is questionable for Game 3 against the Mavericks on Friday due to right knee inflammation, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Leonard posted 15 points and seven rebounds in his return to action in Game 2, and while he's included in the injury report ahead of Friday's decisive contest, he did log 35 minutes in Game 2, so he should be in line to handle his regular workload in a pivotal matchup at home.

  • Available to play Thursday
    Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but in the end, he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in any of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload across the board.

  • Considered game-time decision
    Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Friday
    Grayson Alen (right ankle) is listed as questionable for the Suns’ Friday matchup with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Allen was dealing with a sprained right ankle ahead of Game 2 and rolled it during play. The Suns wing’s status for Game 3 is up in the air and Eric Gordon will likely take advantage of his absence if he’s ruled out. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Allen tweaked his right ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but underwent an X-ray after the matchup that came back negative. He practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to run with a water treadmill. He also said that his ankle feels "better than expected." It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but it's encouraging that he was able to do some activity Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 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 Today, 10:13 am
     
  • Out for Game 3
    Hardaway (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Hardaway will miss Friday's contest after leaving Game 2 early with a right ankle sprain. Derrick Jones, Dante Exum and Josh Green could receive extended minutes in his absence. Hardaway's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
     
  • Won't face limitations in Game 3
    Suggs won't face a minutes limit during Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he practiced fully Wednesday and did so again Thursday morning. He's averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over the first two matchups in the series. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 am
     
  • Goes for 33 points in Game 2 win
    Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 victory over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

    Advice: The Thunder secured a statement win in Game 2 of the series, and Gilgeous-Alexander was dominant en route to his first 30-point effort since April 9, when he exploded for 40 points in a win over the Kings. Gilgeous-Alexander should lead the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday, and he's having an excellent series so far, shooting 55.8 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from deep in the first two games against New Orleans.
