  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turns in 24/5/8/4/1 in G3
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 24 points (8-of-20 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and one triple in a 106-85 win over New Orleans in Game 3 on Saturday.

    Advice: SGA wasn’t as efficient in this game in comparison to his performances in Games 1 and 2, but he was still able to lead the team in scoring and help them take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. This was a well-rounded performance for the team, and they’ll have a chance to close out the series in Game 4 on Monday. SGA, who is a finalist for the league’s MVP award, has had a strong start to the postseason, and they’ll need him to keep it up if they want to make any real noise in the playoffs this year.

  • Questionable for Game 4
    Allen (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Allen didn't play in Game 3 of the series Friday, and his status is unclear, although the questionable tag leaves the door open for a return in what might be the final game of the Suns' season. Allen is averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting a meager 20 percent from the field in his two appearances during the current series. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm
     
  • Doubtful to play in Game 4
    Hardaway is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Hardaway left Game 2 of the series on Tuesday after just six minutes of action and didn't feature in Game 3, so he's been extremely limited in the series. The doubtful tag isn't particularly encouraging ahead of Sunday's contest, but an official announcement should be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if he's available, he should come off the bench and his minutes could be closely monitored given his recent injury issues. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Sunday
    Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

    Advice: Allen sat out Game 3, which allowed Royce O’Neale to start in his place. However, Eric Gordon ended up stepping up and logging 34 minutes off the bench. If Allen remains out, both players will have to play important roles to keep this series alive. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) doubtful to play Game 4
    Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) is listed as doubtful to play in Game 4 against the Clippers on Sunday.

    Advice: THJ missed Game 3 after exiting early from Game 2. Josh Green ended up playing 25 minutes off the bench, while Dante Exum logged 12 minutes. With Hardaway Jr. expected to miss another game, both Green and Exum will play important roles off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 1:39 pm
     
  • Jalen Suggs provides 12/2/3 line with 7 turnovers
    Jalen Suggs provided a solid line on Saturday with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two triples and seven turnovers against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs and Paolo Banchero struggled to take care of the ball in the first half and entered the break with a combined nine turnovers, with Suggs accounting for five of them. They cleaned things up in the second half, which helped them outscore the Cavs 61-29 over the final two quarters. Suggs had a big performance in Game 3, and while he wasn’t able to replicate that in Game 4, he was able to turn in a solid stat line, despite a rough first half. If they can take care of the ball in Game 5 on Tuesday, they may be able to steal one on the road. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm
     
  • Will be questionable for Game 4
    Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.

    Advice: Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, where he was able to play 35 minutes while pouring 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, then Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.

  • Franz Wagner drops 34/13/4 in Game 4 win over Cavs
    Franz Wagner led the Magic with 34 points (13-of-17 FGs), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and two triples in a 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Wagner took over in the third quarter, scoring 12 points in the period as Orlando outscored the Cavs 37-10. The Magic trailed by nine points at halftime, but they won by 23 because of elite defense and Wagner’s offense. He has been solid in this series, but Wagner played like a true star in this one, which was needed with Paolo Banchero (9 points) struggling. They tied the series up with two convincing wins, and they’ll need to bring some of this offense with them to Cleveland for Game 5 if they want to take a lead in this series. After averaging 84.5 points in the first two games of this series, they have averaged 116.5 over the last two. Rotoworld Today, 1:04 pm
     
  • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half
    Donovan Mitchell struggled in the second half but still finished with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), one rebound, six assists, three steals, one triple and six turnovers against Orlando in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland. Mitchell will have to shake off this second half and get back on track to get back in the win column. Rotoworld Today, 12:33 pm
