    • Russell Westbrook plays 9 minutes in Game 6 loss
      Russell Westbrook shot 2-of-7 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Friday’s loss to the Mavericks, scoring six points with one rebound, one assist, and one steal in nine minutes.

      Advice: In what could be his final game as a Clipper, Westbrook offered little value in Game 6. Tyronn Lue needed more scoring, especially with P.J. Tucker starting, which led to Los Angeles effectively going with a six-man rotation. Westbrook entered the season with a Yahoo ADP of 109.3, a generous placement for a veteran point guard whose role would be limited. Give Russ credit for willingly taking a step back after the Clippers added James Harden, but his days as a consistently relevant fantasy option may have ended. Westbrook has a player option for the 2024-25 season and will be, at best, a late-round pick in deep leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:16 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.

    • Leads offense in return in Game 6
      Lillard tallied 28 points (7-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four assists and two rebounds over 35 minutes in Thursday's 120-98 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Lillard returned in Game 6 after missing the previous two games with an Achilles injury, doing all he could to help Milwaukee extend the series by leading all players in Thursday's series-ending contest in scoring and threes made while ending perfect from the free-throw line. Despite dealing with some injury issues during the first-round series against Indiana, Lillard posted 28 or more points in all four of his appearances while adding four or more threes in each of those contests.

    • Out for Game 6
      Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 matchup with the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. Josh Green should continue to see a boosted role while Hardaway is on the mend from the injury. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Hardaway Jr., Maxence-Prosper out again Friday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) and Olivier Maxence-Prosper (left ankle sprain) will remain sidelined for Game 6 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: Both players will remain sidelined once again, which means that Josh Green and Dante Exum will be the primary guard options off the bench. However, with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving soaking up most of the backcourt minutes, they won’t play a significant amount of time. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 6
      Lillard (Achilles) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

      Advice: Lillard has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing the previous two contests with right Achilles tendinitis. The star guard will likely replace Malik Beasley in the starting lineup. Lillard is averaging 32.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 40.7 minutes across his previous three appearances in Milwaukee's first-round series against the Pacers.

    • Haynes: Damian Lillard will play in Game 6
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) will play in Game 6 against Indiana on Thursday, per Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.

      Advice: Lillard is out on the court for his pregame warmup, which was encouraging for his chances of playing. Now Haynes has reported that Lillard will be back after missing Games 4 and 5. Milwaukee defended their home court without him on Tuesday, and now he will try and help them extend the series on the road. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to remain out, but if Lillard can help them stay alive, he could return as soon as Game 7. Malik Beasley will likely return to the bench for this game.

    • Could suit up Thursday
      Lillard (Achilles) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

      Advice: Lillard could return to action Thursday after missing the previous two contests with a right Achilles injury. While Lillard is reportedly more likely to suit up than Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), an official injury update should be released closer to the 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) questionable Thursday
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles Tendinitis) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable ahead of Thursday’s Bucks-Pacers game.

      Advice: Lillard has taken a step toward returning to the hardwood after missing his team’s last two games. The Bucks point guard can give his team a big lift if he’s healthy enough to play, but it’s unclear how much he’ll be able to contribute right now. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:26 am
