    • Luka Doncic turns in 22/10/9/2 line in Game 3 win
      Luka Doncic led Dallas with 22 points (7-of-25 FGs), 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, three triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: After shooting 11-of-26 in each of his first two games of this series, Luka’s shooting was slightly worse in this game. However, they were still able to get the win and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Doncic played through plenty of contact from Russell Westbrook in this game, and he still nearly recorded a triple-double. Game 4 is on Sunday, and they’ll have a chance to take a 3-1 lead in the series. This team will go as far as Luka takes them, and he’ll need to shoot better thant his moving forward.

    • Bobby Portis records 17/18 double-double in Game 3
      Bobby Portis recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (7-of-15 FGs), 18 rebounds, one steal, one block and one triple against Indiana.

      Advice: Portis, who was a finalist for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award, has played really well as the starting power forward in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that continued in this game. He has recorded a double-double in all three games of this series, but this was by far his best outing. Giannis isn’t expected to play in this series, so Portis should continue to start. They’ll need him to continue to play to this level if they want to tie this series back up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:01 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Portis finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal over 44 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Portis dominated the boards in Friday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bucks with a double-double in a losing effort in overtime. Portis has stepped in nicely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continues to miss time, recording a double-double in all three games in the first-round series thus far. Portis will likely continue to remain in the starting lineup until Antetokounmpo is able to return, and he would become a key player off Milwaukee's bench if the two-time MVP does come back at some point in the series against Indiana.

    • Briefly leaves Game 3
      Doncic briefly left Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter with an apparent right knee issue, but he returned with 12 seconds to play in the quarter, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

      Advice: Doncic had a significant limp when he checked out of the game and went to the locker room. He put a brace on his right knee when he returned to the bench but quickly removed it before checking back into the game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
       
    • Drops 17 points in loss
      Anunoby accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Anunoby provided the Knicks with a boost on the offensive end, although it wasn't enough as they fell to the 76ers. It was another tight matchup between two evenly matched teams. Game 4 will take place in Philadelphia on Sunday, with the Knicks looking to split the road trip in hopes of wrapping up the series at home. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:30 pm

    • OG Anunoby posts 17/4/2/1/1 line in Game 3 loss
      OG Anunoby posted a stat line of 17 points (7-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 38 minutes in Thursday’s 125-114 loss to Philadelphia.

      Advice: New York’s series lead was trimmed in half on Thursday, but that should not overshadow Anunoby’s night on the offensive end of the floor. After scoring 21 points on 9-of-20 shooting in the series’ first two games, he made 63.8% of his shots in Game 3 and chipped in with 17 points. With Mitchell Robinson exiting at halftime with a sprained ankle, the Knicks will need more production from Anunoby, even if he doesn’t play the same position. That’s also the case for Isaiah Hartenstein, who battled through foul trouble and finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and one assist in 26 minutes. Game 4 of the series is on Sunday in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:03 pm

    • Stephen Curry wins Clutch Player of the Year award
      Stephen Curry won the Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year award on Thursday.

      Advice: Curry beat out DeMar DeRozan and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, receiving 45 first-place votes to DeRozan’s 34. Those two were separated by 26 total points, with SGA coming in third with 160 points (11 first-place votes). Curry led the NBA in crunch time points (189), made field goals (59), and made 3-pointers (32). “Crunch time” is defined as the final five minutes of a game within five points. Rounding out the top five were Nikola Jokic and Jalen Brunson. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:19 pm
       
    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
      Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

      Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:24 pm
