    • Rudy Gobert scores six points in return Friday
      Rudy Gobert shot 3-of-5 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line in Minnesota’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points, four rebounds, and one assist in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After missing Game 2 to be present for the birth of his first child, Gobert was back in the lineup for Game 3. He and the Timberwolves attempted to land a decisive blow early in Friday’s game but failed, and the reigning champions eventually pulled away. Neither Gobert nor Naz Reid (7/1/1/1 with one 3-pointer in 21 minutes) could do much with Nikola Jokic, who finished with a plus-30 rating. Gobert and the Timberwolves will look to take a 3-1 series lead on Saturday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm
       
    • Michael Porter Jr. hits four 3-pointers in Game 3
      Michael Porter Jr. recorded a line of 21 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Timberwolves.

      Advice: After scoring 20 points in Game 1, Porter had a brutal Game 2. He wasn’t the only Nuggets player who needed to redeem himself in Game 3, and MPJ came through with timely perimeter shooting. He’s scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven playoff games, and he finished Game 3 one blocked shot shy of his third straight full stat line. Also shooting the ball well from three for Denver was Aaron Gordon, who was 3-of-4 from deep and finished with 13 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 33 minutes. Given the amount of attention Minnesota has paid Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, there will be opportunities for Porter and Gordon to flourish. They took advantage on Friday and must do the same in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:18 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in 21-point Game 3
      Porter ended with 21 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Porter provided a nice lift offensively for Denver in its first win of the conference semifinals, leading all Nuggets in threes made while ending as one of three players with 20 or more points in Game 3. Porter had a bounce-back performance after failing to reach double figures in scoring in Game 2, and he has now posted 20 or more points in two of the three games against Minnesota.

    • Quiet in Game 3 return
      Gobert tallied six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes in Friday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Gobert returned in Game 3 after missing the previous contest due to the birth of his child, putting forth a quiet outing in Minnesota's first loss of the postseason. Gobert failed to reach double figures in both points and rebounds, not tallying 10 or more boards for the third time in the postseason and not crossing the double-digit scoring mark for the third time. In order for Minnesota to bounce back in Sunday's Game 4, Gobert may have to put together a much stronger showing than he did Friday in Minneapolis. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:14 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) questionable Saturday
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain and left knee soreness) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 3 meeting with the Thunder on Saturday.

      Advice: Doncic’s minor injuries didn’t stop him from totaling 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in a Game 2 win. The Mavericks star will likely continue to power his team’s offense on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 3
      Doncic is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

      Advice: Doncic has been playing through the knee sprain throughout the postseason, but the ankle issue is new. He also smacked his face on the court during Game 2 on Thursday, but that's not mentioned in the official report. Despite all the injuries, the Mavericks were able to even the series and claim home-court advantage behind Doncic's 16-point first quarter. The superstar point guard is likely more probable than questionable for Game 3, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
       
    • Bounces back in Game 2 win
      Doncic provided 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Doncic had been struggling with his shot in recent games, but he bounced back admirably in this Game 2 victory, nailing five of his eight attempts from beyond the arc and returning to the regular scoring figures he'd been delivering throughout the entire playoff run. Doncic should play a key role in Game 3 of the series, scheduled for Saturday in Dallas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:21 am
       
    • Luka Doncic records 29/10/7/3/1 line in Game 2 win
      Luka Doncic logged 41 minutes in Thursday’s Game 2 win over the Thunder, tallying 29 points (11-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block, and five 3-pointers.

      Advice: Already dealing with a sore right knee, Doncic fell face-first into the court during the first quarter of Game 2. While the All-Star guard checked his mouth multiple times throughout the game, that didn’t keep him from recording a complete (and efficient) stat line to lead the Mavericks. Doncic may continue to show up on the injury report, but DFS players and NBA fans can expect him to be on the court and play at a high level. Game 3 is on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:17 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (knee) available for Game 2 Thursday
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

      Advice: Doncic fully participated in the Mavericks’ practice after their Game 1 loss to the Thunder, so he was expected to play on Thursday. He will occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford rounding out the quintet. Rotoworld Thursday, 5:24 pm
