    • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) out for Game 3 Sat.
      Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

      Advice: Robinson-Earl is a late addition to the injury report. However, his absence will not impact the Pelicans’ rotation, as he played a total of five minutes in the first two games of this series. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
       
    • Haynes: Lillard diagnosed with strained Achilles
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left Achilles strain and is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Lillard, who has been dealing with Achilles soreness for a few weeks, aggravated the issue during Friday’s Game 3 defeat. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle with the injury, ultimately being used as a decoy during the overtime period. In addition to being doubtful for Game 4, Lillard was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green would be in play for additional minutes if he cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 am
       
    • Game 4 in doubt
      Lillard suffered a strained Achilles in Friday's loss to the Pacers and there is serious doubt over his availability for Game 4 on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Lillard was able to return to Game 3 after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes. Final confirmation on his status Sunday will presumably come closer to game time. AJ Green, Andre Jackson and Malik Beasley would all be candidates to see increased minutes alongside Patrick Beverley in the backcourt should Lillard indeed need to sit out.

    • Does not practice Saturday
      Robinson (ankle) was a non-participant at Saturday's practice, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Robinson was seen wearing a walking boot on his sprained left ankle following an early exit in Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers. He had accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 FT) and seven rebounds across 12 minutes before leaving. His absence from Saturdays' practice is not a good sign for his status for Sunday's Game 4, but the team has not ruled the big man out. If he ultimately does not get the green light, Precious Achiuwa figures to serve as the primary backup behind Isaiah Hartenstein. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 am
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) did not practice Sat.
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) did not participate in Saturday’s practice.

      Advice: Robinson injured his ankle, which was operated on in December, during the first of Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers. While missing practice is not a good sign regarding his availability for Sunday’s Game 4, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said, “We’ll see where he’s at tomorrow” when asked about Robinson’s status. If he cannot play, look for Precious Achiuwa to move into the rotation as Isaiah Hartenstein’s backup. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 am
       
    • Haywood Highsmith (arm) available for Game 3 Sat.
      Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is available for Saturday’s game against Boston.

      Advice: Highsmith has played 26 minutes in each of the first two games of this series, which will be his likely workload for Game 3. He’s capable of providing a few 3-pointers and some rebounds, but that isn’t enough to merit being slotted into most DFS lineups. Rotoworld Today, 8:27 am
       
    • Kevin Love (arm) available for Game 3 Saturday
      Kevin Love (left upper arm contusion) is available for Saturday’s game against Boston.

      Advice: Love was initially probable for Game 3, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He’ll provide frontcourt depth off the bench but is unlikely to be productive enough to merit being rostered in DFS lineups. Rotoworld Today, 8:25 am
       
    • Delon Wright (personal) questionable for Game 3
      Delon Wright (personal reasons) is questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 against Boston.

      Advice: With Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, Wright has figured more prominently within the Heat rotation than many anticipated. After scoring 17 points in a Game 1 loss to the Celtics, he logged 20 minutes in Game 2 despite not having much of an impact from a statistical standpoint. Rozier is already out, so losing Wright would put the Heat in a problematic spot regarding bench depth. Rotoworld Today, 8:22 am
       
    • Delivers eight dimes in Game 3 loss
      Booker accumulated 23 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Booker finished just two assists away from recording a double-double in Game 3, and the star guard will need to be at his best Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round. Booker's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though this was the first time he surpassed the 20-point plateau. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
