  • 78-93-9 13th Place
    • Scores 36 points in Game 3
      Edwards totaled 36 points (12-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Friday's 126-109 victory over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Edwards has reached the 30-point mark in two of the three games during the current series against the Suns, and the star guard has stepped up every time the Timberwolves have needed him despite having the tough assignment of dealing with Bradley Beal on both ends of the court. Edwards should handle his heavy workload in Game 4 on Sunday, where the Timberwolves will look to advance into the Western Conference semifinals. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am
       
    • 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.

    • Anthony Edwards scores 36, Timberwolves go up 3-0
      Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 36 points (12-of-23 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, one triple and five turnovers in a 126-109 win over Phoenix in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: After struggling in their Game 2 win, Edwards got back on track in this one. This was his highest-scoring game of the series, though it doesn’t match his playoff career-high of 41, which he set last year. Minnesota is now in complete control of the series, and they’ll look to close it out and advance to the next round on Sunday, where they’ll likely take on the Nuggets. Edwards isn’t the type of player that takes his foot off the gas, so expect him to have another big game in Game 4. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:34 pm
       
    • James Harden leads LAC with 21/2/5/2/1 line
      James Harden led the Clippers with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, five triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 loss to Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Harden tied Norman Powell as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. Harden was also able to contribute value across the board, though it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. He played 44 minutes in this game, which Tyronn Lue said was a result of Paul George being in foul trouble. Harden is still an effective player, but he’s going to need George to be better if they want to win this series without a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Harden will look to keep this production up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Remains out for Game 3
      Rozier (neck) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Rozier's absence streak will extend to nine games Saturday due to neck spasms. With Delon Wright (personal) questionable, Patty Mills could receive his first minutes of the series against Boston. Rozier's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday.

    • Double-double onslaught continues
      Siakam closed with 37 points (16-23 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 win over Milwaukee in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The last player to open a postseason with two 35-point, 10-rebound performances was Wilt Chamberlain, which gives you an idea of how rare Siakam's run of production is in the playoffs. Siakam was the unquestioned offensive engine for the Pacers, shooting a deadly 69.5 percent from the floor while adding 11 rebounds. If Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) absence continues, Siakam should be able to exploit the Bucks and keep his double-double streak intact. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:44 am
       
    • James Harden tallies 22 points, eight assists
      James Harden logged 42 minutes in Tuesday’s 96-93 loss to the Mavericks, producing 22 points (6-of-14 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: While Harden did not miss any of his 2-point attempts in Game 2, he was 2-of-10 from beyond the arc. He wasn’t the only Clippers player to struggle on Tuesday, as they combined to go 8-of-30 from beyond the arc, and Dallas outscored them by a 42-24 margin. Harden was productive in the assist category while committing one turnover, somewhat compensating for the poor 3-point shooting for those competing in DFS tournaments. He’ll look to rebound when the Clippers visit Dallas for Game 3 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:37 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam makes franchise history in Gm 2 win
      Pascal Siakam shot 16-of-23 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks, scoring 37 points with 11 rebounds, six assists, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: The Pacers evened their series at one win apiece, and Siakam led the way. Spicy P made some history, becoming the first Pacer to record a 30-point double-double in two consecutive games. Also, Siakam is tied with Paul George for the most 30-point double-doubles in a single postseason in franchise history. The Siakam matchup may be where the Bucks miss Giannis Antetokounmpo the most, as Siakam did whatever he wanted in the first two games. The series shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Friday.

    • Won't suit up Wednesday
      Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

      Advice: Rozier will now miss his eighth straight game, and it is unclear whether the team will look to rush him back for the remainder of the series without Jimmy Butler (knee). The 30-year-old is considered week-to-week and against the Celtics, so it would not come as a surprise for Rozier to miss the entirety of the series. With Rozier out, Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson and Patty Mills are all likely candidates to see an uptick in playing time. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:03 pm
