  • Iffy for Monday
    Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.

    Advice: It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out, but making progress
    Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl questionable for Monday
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday’s Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl was unavailable for Game 3 on Saturday, but his absence did not impact the Pelicans rotation. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact DFS tournaments if available for Game 4. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 19 points in Game 4 loss
    Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 loss to the Knicks, tallying 19 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

    Advice: After scoring 15 points in Philadelphia’s Game 3 victory, Oubre was even more productive in Game 4. Only Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored more points among 76ers players, and the Tsunami Papi recorded his second full stat line of the series (Game 2). Given how quiet Tobias Harris has been this series, Oubre has emerged as Philadelphia’s third option on the offensive end of the floor. Unfortunately for the 76ers, they find themselves in a 3-1 hole heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night in New York. Rotoworld Today, 1:28 pm
     
  • OG Anunoby drops 16 points, 14 rebounds Sunday
    OG Anunoby played 46 minutes in New York’s Game 4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday, accumulating 16 points (8-of-16 FGs), 14 rebounds, and three blocked shots.

    Advice: Anunoby may have scored 17 points in Thursday’s Game 3 defeat, but Sunday’s performance was his best of the series. In addition to recording his first double-double, OG combined with Precious Achiuwa to shut down Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter. With Isaiah Hartenstein (8/4/2/1 in 28 minutes) sitting due to foul trouble, Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa (1/7/2/0/4 in 19 minutes) combined to limit the reigning MVP to one point on 0-of-5 shooting in the final period. It’s unknown if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be available for Game 5 on Tuesday, but the Anunoby/Achiuwa tandem gives Tom Thibodeau another strategy to consider. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm
     
  • Josh Hart grabs 16 rebounds in Game 4 victory
    Josh Hart accounted for four points (0-of-7 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 16 rebounds, five assists, and three blocked shots in 45 minutes in Sunday’s 97-92 win over Philadelphia.

    Advice: After watching Hart shoot over 50% from three in the first three games of the series, Philadelphia devoted more attention to him in Game 4. While he had a brutal afternoon shooting the basketball, Hart showed that there’s more than one way to impact a game. He led all players with 16 rebounds and tallied five assists and three blocked shots. In addition to the shooting, the five turnovers were a negative, but Hart was more of a positive asset than a negative one. He’ll look to get back on track shooting-wise when the Knicks host Game 5 on Tuesday. New York leads the series three games to one. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm
     
  • Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) will not return Sunday
    Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) will not return to Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Already dealing with a left wrist injury, Bogdanovic was in the game for seconds before Nicolas Batum collided with his left leg while diving for a loose ball. As a result, Bogdanovic will not play again on Sunday afternoon. Miles McBride will play more minutes off the bench as the Knicks look to manage being without three rotation players due to injury.

  • Won't return Sunday
    Bogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.

    Advice: Bogdanovic played just one minute before suffering a left foot contusion and didn't record any counting stats. He is also dealing with ligament damage in his left wrist but was expected to play through that injury. Bogdanovic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday when the series shifts back to New York for Game 5. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
     
  • Will start sans Leonard
    Coffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
