    • Delon Wright (personal) ruled out for Game 3
      Delon Wright (personal reasons) will not play in Game 3 against the Celtics on Saturday.

      Advice: Wright has officially been ruled out after initially being listed as questionable for this game. That should result in minutes off the bench for Patty Mills, though Tyler Herro will continue to play most of the minutes at point guard. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
       
    • 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 Today, 10:38 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
       
    • Double-doubles in Game 3
      Towns registered 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 126-109 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Towns needed 16 shots to score 18 points, but he still made his presence felt and looked active on the glass, grabbing double-digit boards despite being limited to just 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Towns has adjusted well to life operating as Minnesota's second offensive option behind Anthony Edwards, but he remains extremely valuable in fantasy as a two-way big man who can shoot threes at an above-average rate. He's averaging 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in the current series while shooting an elite 45.5 percent (5-for-11) from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com Today, 7:42 am
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns records double-double in 24 min
      Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double on Friday with 18 points (7-of-16 FGs), 13 rebounds, two assists and three 3-pointers against the Suns in Game 3.

      Advice: KAT dealt with some foul trouble early in this game, which limited him to just 24 minutes of playing time. However, he was still able to turn in an effective stat line. He has committed 12 fouls in three games despite averaging just 25 minutes per game. They’re still monitoring his minutes after his extended absence, but he should play more if he stays out of foul trouble. It hasn’t hurt them yet, but it isn’t something that he can continue to do in the next round, where they’ll likely face off against Denver, barring the first ever 3-0 comeback in NBA history.

    • Nickeil Alexander-Walker knocks down four triples
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker provided a boost off the bench and finished with 16 points (4-of-10 FGs, all 3PTs), two rebounds and five assists against the Suns on Friday.

      Advice: Minnesota has the Sixth Man of the Year on their team in Naz Reid, but NAW has also had a strong series off the bench, which continued in this game. Through three games, Alexander-Walker is averaging 14.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.0 triples in 31 minutes per game, despite coming off the bench. He didn’t get any steals in Game 3, but he continues to make a massive impact on the defensive end. He’ll continue to make life difficult for Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in Game 4 on Sunday.

    • Cracks rotation Friday
      Hardy finished with one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one steal in three minutes during Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Hardy, along with A.J. Lawson and Dwight Powell, secured a handful of minutes down the stretch Friday. With the game well in hand, the Mavericks were able to give their fringe players a rare opportunity to see playoff basketball. This is not something we should expect to see very often moving forward.

    • Rare appearance Friday
      Boston finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in three minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Boston played three minutes in garbage time, something the Clippers will be hoping doesn't repeat itself. Although the final score was relatively close, the Mavericks took control early in this one and now hold a 2-1 series lead over a Clippers team in need of a spark.

    • Won't play in Game 4
      Vanderbilt (foot) won't play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Although Vanderbilt has ramped up his activity at practice, he'll remain on the sidelines as the Lakers attempt to keep their season alive Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:25 pm
