  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) cleared to play
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) will play in Game 4 against the Thunder on Monday.

    Advice: JRE played a total of five minutes over the first two games of this series, with all of that coming in the blowout loss in Game 2. He’ll like only see the floor in this game if the score gets lopsided. Rotoworld Monday, 4:41 pm
     
  • Available for Game 4
    Robinson-Earl (ankle) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl was added to the injury report as a game-time call due to a left ankle sprain, but he'll be available to take the floor if called upon. He hasn't had much of a role so far in this series, logging only five minutes in Game 2. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:11 pm
     
  • Iffy for Monday
    Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.

    Advice: It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:45 pm
     
  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl questionable for Monday
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday’s Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl was unavailable for Game 3 on Saturday, but his absence did not impact the Pelicans rotation. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact DFS tournaments if available for Game 4. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:39 pm
     
  • Christian Wood (knee) picks up DNP-CD Saturday
    Christian Wood (left knee surgery) did not play in Saturday’s win over the Nuggets.

    Advice: Wood has not appeared in a game since February 14, so inserting him into a game of this magnitude may have been far-fetched. Lakers coach Darvin Ham stuck with his usual nine-man rotation, which may be the case as long as this series continues. Game 5 is on Monday in Denver. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Will play Saturday
    Wood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:56 pm
     
  • Christian Wood (knee) will play in Game 4 vs. DEN
    Christian Wood (left knee surgery) will make his return to lineup for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday.

    Advice: Wood will be available to play for the first time since before the All-Star break. However, Jaxson Hayes wasn’t in the rotation in Game 3, and they may not want to include Wood in their rotation in an elimination game. He will be available if needed, but he may not see the floor.

  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) out for Game 3 Sat.
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl is a late addition to the injury report. However, his absence will not impact the Pelicans’ rotation, as he played a total of five minutes in the first two games of this series. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:38 am
     
  • Upgraded to questionable
    Wood (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Wood has been sidelined since Feb. 14, but he's been trending towards a return for a while. It sounds like if he makes it through the shootaround without any setbacks, he could get the green light to return with Los Angeles' season on the line. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:17 pm
