    • Questionable for Sunday
      Jackson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Jackson played through the same questionable tag for Friday's Game 4 blowout win, but he saw just eight minutes with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one turnover. Rotowire.com Today, 2:08 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable for Game 4 Sun.
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson hasn’t missed a game this postseason, but his playing time has decreased, with Nuggets coach Michael Malone leaning on his starters even more. “Big Government” only played eight minutes in Friday’s win over Minnesota and will shoulder a similar workload in Game 4.

    • Reggie Jackson (calf) available for Game 3 Friday
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is available for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson will play in Game 3 after injuring his calf during the fourth quarter of Game 2. He’ll take on his usual backup point guard responsibilities and is not worth the risk in DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:51 pm
       
    • Good to go
      Jackson (calf) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson will be available to provide depth at point guard. Starter Jamal Murray (calf), who was also questionable, is going to play through his injury. Thus, Jackson figures to take on his usual depth role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:38 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable Thursday
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is listed as questionable for the Nuggets’ Thursday matchup against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson hasn’t been helpful against Minnesota so far. Christian Braun will benefit from getting some extra reserve minutes should Jackson be ruled out. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:30 pm
       
    • Deemed questionable for Friday
      Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf contusion.

      Advice: Jackson is in danger of missing Friday's contest after suffering a left calf injury in Game 2. If Jackson is unable to suit up, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday are candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:37 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) exits during fourth quarter
      Reggie Jackson (left calf tightness) tallied three points (1-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 10 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 loss to Minnesota.

      Advice: Already dealing with a sore left ankle, Jackson hobbled off the court during the fourth quarter with tightness in his left calf. While Denver announced that he was questionable to return, the veteran point guard remained in the locker room. The only production Denver received from its bench in Game 2 was from Justin Holiday, who shot 4-of-5 from three and finished with 13 points, two rebounds, and one assist. With Jackson and Murray dealing with calf issues, the Nuggets have two point guards not playing at full strength. Game 3 being on Friday could help matters, but the biggest problem has been the talented Timberwolves. Rotoworld Monday, 10:13 pm
       
    • Helped to locker room
      Jackson exited Monday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves with an apparent left ankle injury, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports.

      Advice: Jackson exited the contest with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and considering the deficit Denver faced when he left, it seems unlikely that he'll return. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team provides additional details on his status. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:13 pm
       
    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) scores 28 points Thurs.
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) shot 7-of-16 from the field and 10-of-10 from the foul line in Thursday’s 120-98 loss to the Pacers, scoring 28 points with two rebounds, four assists, and four 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

      Advice: Initially doubtful for Game 6 after sitting out Game 5, Lillard led the Bucks in scoring while playing 35 minutes. But that doesn’t change that this was a disappointing end to his first season in Milwaukee. While he was not traded until just before the start of training camp, the expectations were high for Lillard regarding fantasy value. Entering the season with a Yahoo ADP of 11.3, he finished as a top 25 player in 8- and 9-cat formats. The Bucks’ lack of continuity, with Khris Middleton being limited to 55 regular season games and Adrian Griffin being fired despite a 30-13 start, certainly impacted Lillard’s value. An entire offseason should help him and his teammates establish better on-court chemistry, but there’s always the possibility of significant changes being made to the roster.
