  • 84-82-5 7th Place
    • Karl-Anthony Towns hits four 3-pointers, scores 14
      Karl-Anthony Towns accumulated 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets.

      Advice: The good news for Towns is that he shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. The bad is that he attempted seven shots overall, which is inexcusable for an offensive talent of his caliber. Friday’s game was the first in which KAT failed to reach double figures since Game 2 of Minnesota’s first-round sweep of the Suns. While the Timberwolves could get away with that against Phoenix, the reigning champs are different. Towns needs to be more aggressive in Game 4 on Sunday night, with the Timberwolves still holding a 2-1 series lead. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Leader from deep in Game 3 loss
      Towns posted 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes in Friday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Towns didn't get much going offensively outside of connecting on a team-high mark from three, ending the contest as one of four players with a double-digit point total to go along with a handful of rebounds in a losing effort. Towns failed to reach the 15-point mark for just the second time of the postseason, having scored at least 20 points in each of the first two games against Denver. Towns will have to come out in Game 4 looking for more opportunities offensively and displaying more aggressiveness if Minnesota wants to take a commanding 3-1 series advantage.

    • Alec Burks contributes 14 points in Game 3 loss
      Alec Burks finished Friday’s 111-106 loss to the Pacers with 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

      Advice: That’s right, Alec Burks. After playing for one minute in Game 2, the veteran wing was in the rotation on Friday because the Knicks did not have OG Anunoby (hamstring). Give Burks credit for staying ready, as he made his first four shots from the field and gave New York welcome production off the bench. While the Knicks’ saw their series lead cut in half, getting 24 points from Burks and Miles McBride (10/1/1/1 with two 3-pointers in 29 minutes) is a positive takeaway. New York’s reserves outscored their Pacer counterparts by a 24-14 margin in Game 3, but it wasn’t enough to get the Knicks the win. Burks and McBride will have to offer similar production in Game 4 on Sunday, as Anunoby is unlikely to be available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton scores 35 in Game 3 victory
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 14-of-26 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Friday’s 111-106 win over the Knicks, finishing with 35 points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, and six 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 34 points in Wednesday’s Game 2 defeat, Haliburton was one point better on Friday. And he was even more aggressive in looking for his shot, putting up 26 and shooting better than 50% from the field. And that didn’t crater his assist numbers, either, as Haliburton had two fewer (seven) than his total in Game 2. The lone concern for him heading into Game 4 on Sunday is health, as the Pacers point guard tweaked his right ankle on a layup attempt during the second half. Add a case of lower back spasms, and Haliburton may not be playing at full strength on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:46 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back) active Friday vs. Knicks
      Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Pacers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Haliburton is set to suit up once again. The Pacers point guard hasn’t missed any time because of his back spasms and should carry his usual workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:54 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Haliburton (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with lower back spasms. Haliburton is averaging 20.0 points, 8.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals in 35.5 minutes across the first two games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:33 pm
       
    • Another absence coming
      Prosper (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper will miss his eighth straight contest Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. The rookie forward's absence won't impact Dallas' rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Dean Wade (knee) questionable Saturday vs. Celitcs
      Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

      Advice: Wade hasn’t played since the regular season so it’s unlikely that he’ll play a significant role if he’s cleared to play. He could cut into some of Tristan Thompson’s reserve minutes if made active, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:07 pm
       
    • Another absence coming
      Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:47 pm
