  • Available to play
    Anderson (hip) is available for Friday's Game 3 versus the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Advice: Fantasy managers should exercise caution before plugging Anderson into lineups, as the forward didn't touch the floor despite being cleared to play in Game 2. It remains to be seen if he'll rejoin the rotation for Game 3. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Kyle Anderson (hip) cleared to play in Game 3
    Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) will play against the Suns in Game 3 on Friday.

    Advice: Slo Mo was available to play in Game 2 after getting injured in Game 1, but he didn’t end up seeing the floor at all. We’ll see if Chris Finch uses him in this one. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Shines with 40-point double-double
    Middleton recorded 42 points (16-29 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 41 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

    Advice: Middleton did all he could to help lead Milwaukee to an overtime victory, including hitting the game-tying shot at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime and also tying the game late in overtime, but his 40-point double-double was spoiled in a losing effort. Middleton led all players in Friday's contest in scoring while ending as one of two Bucks with 10 or more rebounds to go along with a handful of assists in a well-rounded outing. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out in Game 4, look for Middleton to continue to provide a lift to Milwaukee offensively in the quarterfinals series. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Khris Middleton drops 42 in overtime loss
    Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 42 points (16-of-29 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists and four 3-pointers in a 121-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 3 on Friday.

    Advice: Middleton was questionable coming into this game, but the ankle injury didn’t have any impact on his production. He forced overtime with a 3-pointer and tied the game with six seconds left in overtime with another triple. It wasn’t enough to help them get the win, but it was still a special performance from Middleton. Game 4 is on Sunday, and Middleton will need to carry over some of this magic if they want to tie this series up and retake home court advantage. He’ll likely end up on the injury report again, but there shouldn’t be any concern surrounding his availability. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

  • Listed probable for Game 4
    James (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: James carrying probable tags due to left ankle soreness is par for the course. Fantasy managers should expect him to suit up with Los Angeles' season on the line, as the Lakers are winless through three games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:20 pm

    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against Denver on Saturday.

    Advice: LeBron continues to find himself on the injury report, but there is no way that he is missing a potential elimination game. He’ll play as many minutes as he needs to in order to keep the series going. Rotoworld Today, 5:15 pm
     
  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) active Friday vs. Mavericks
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as active for the Clippers’ Friday meeting with the Mavericks.

    Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his first playoff game of the year but will run it back on Friday after scoring just 15 points in a Game 2 loss. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Good to go for Game 3
    Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Advice: After missing Sunday's Game 1 win due to knee inflammation, Leonard returned for Game 2 on Tuesday and put up 15 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 35 minutes during a 96-93 loss, marking his first appearance since March 31. With the series tied at 1-1, Leonard's health and impact will be key to the Clippers' success. Despite suiting up for back-to-back games, the questionable tag may stick with Leonard for the rest of the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
