  • Luka Doncic (knee) records triple-double Sunday
    Luka Doncic (right knee soreness) recorded a stat line of 29 points (10-of-24 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 45 minutes in Dallas’ Game 4 loss to the Clippers.

    Advice: Dallas got off to a brutal start in Game 4, losing the first quarter by a 39-16 margin and trailing by as many as 31 points. But they fought their way back into the game, even leading at one point in the fourth quarter, thanks largely to Irving’s offensive mastery. he shot 9-of-17 from the field after halftime, finishing with his first 40-point playoff game since Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The lone negative for Irving was the turnover count, as he racked up seven. And most of that damage was done before halftime. The Mavericks will look to rebound when the series, which is tied at two games apiece, resumes on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 3:57 pm
     
  • James Harden scores 33 points in Game 4 victory

    Advice: Harden was masterful at getting into the paint and converting during the fourth quarter, shooting 6-of-7 as the Clippers held on after blowing a 31-point lead. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) lacking a timeline for return, it will be up to The Beard and Paul George to shoulder most of the offensive workload in a series tied at two games apiece. Sunday’s performances showed they’re up to the task, as the two Clippers stars combined to score 66 of the team’s 116 points. Game 5 is on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
