    • Shines with 30-point game Saturday
      James ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.

    • Grabs eight rebounds in Game 3 loss
      Jovic logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Jovic has been forced to play a prominent role for the Heat over the last few weeks, but he has been up to the task this postseason, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least six rebounds in his three appearances during the current series against Boston. Jovic should remain in the starting lineup for Game 4 on Monday. He's averaging 12.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in the first three games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 pm
       
    • LeBron James tallies 30 points, full stat line
      LeBron James played 39 minutes in Saturday’s 119-108 win over the Nuggets, accounting for 30 points (14-of-23 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one blocked shot.

      Advice: James committed six turnovers, but the overall body of work was good enough to help the Lakers extend their season. He scored 14 of his team-high 30 points in the fourth quarter, as the Lakers broke even in the period (28-all). Add in only being a minus-2 in third-quarter points, a significant issue in the first three games of the series, and Darvin Ham’s team lives to fight another day. Even if LeBron shows up on the injury report ahead of Monday’s Game 5, look for him to approach (if not exceed) 40 minutes again. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:08 pm
       
    • Nikola Jovic tallies 15 points, full stat line
      Nikola Jovic accumulated 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Saturday’s Game 3 loss to the Celtics.

      Advice: With Jimmy Butler sidelined, Jovic has been asked to provide more production and answered the call. The second-year forward recorded a full stat line for the second consecutive game, shooting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Also noteworthy for Jovic in Game 3 was the playing time, as he logged 34 minutes after accounting for 26 and 26 in the series’ first two games. Duncan Robinson, who has been dealing with left facet syndrome, only playing seven minutes had a lot to do with that. Also taking on an enhanced role during this series has been Jaime Jaquez Jr., who finished Game 3 with 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, and one blocked shot in 34 minutes. He and Jovic must step forward in Game 4 on Monday night, as the Heat trail two games to one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:28 pm
       
    • Tallies three steals in win
      Wallace accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 18 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 win over the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Wallace continued to be a pest on the defensive end of the floor, racking up three steals in the blowout victory. Despite coming off the bench, Wallace has been an impactful player for the Thunder, often used in situations for which defense is key. Game 4 will take place Monday, and the Thunder will look to wrap things up against an undermanned Pelicans outfit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:16 pm
       
    • LeBron James (ankle) available Saturday vs. Denver
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: James was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He will take on his usual responsibilities as the Lakers look to extend their season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm
       
    • Cleared to play
      James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

      Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:38 pm
       
    • Puts up 25 points in loss Friday
      Durant had 25 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Durant bounced back from a subpar showing, at least by his lofty standards, in Game 2, and he had a strong showing in Game 3, but once again, his contributions were not enough to lift the Suns to victory as Phoenix fell into an 0-3 series deficit. Durant will need to be at his best if the Suns want to avoid the sweep in Game 4 on Sunday. He's averaging 24.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the series.

    • Bobby Portis records 17/18 double-double in Game 3
      Bobby Portis recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (7-of-15 FGs), 18 rebounds, one steal, one block and one triple against Indiana.

      Advice: Portis, who was a finalist for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award, has played really well as the starting power forward in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that continued in this game. He has recorded a double-double in all three games of this series, but this was by far his best outing. Giannis isn’t expected to play in this series, so Portis should continue to start. They’ll need him to continue to play to this level if they want to tie this series back up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 6:01 pm
