  • 197-100-18 5th Place
    • Plays 17 minutes in return
      Wade (knee) finished Saturday's 106-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal round with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes.

      Advice: Suiting up for the first time since March 8 after needing two months to heal up from a sprained knee, Wade captured a rotation spot and helped provide the Cavaliers with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. Though he acquitted himself well during his time on the court, Wade is unlikely to see his role grow substantially as the series rolls along, especially once center Jarrett Allen (ribs) is back in action.

    • Dean Wade logs 17 minutes, goes 5/3/3 in return
      Dean Wade accounted for five points, three rebounds, three assists, a block and a three-pointer across 17 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Boston.

      Advice: Wade returned after over two months on the sidelines, and he made an instant impact. The numbers don’t leap off the page, but he provided floor-spacing and meaningful peripheral contributions in his first game back. Marcus Morris Sr. and Tristan Thompson logged just five minutes apiece, and Wade’s return should continue to cut into their playing time. Expect Wade’s playing time to gradually increase as he works his way back into game shape. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Bounces back with 22 points
      Irving notched 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Saturday's 105-101 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: After a season-low nine points in Game 2, Irving came back with a diverse stat line, helping the Mavericks go up in the series. Irving complemented teammate Luka Doncic with a series of key plays in the closing minutes, draining all four of his shots in the final stanza. Irving led the team with seven assists, which marked the fourth time the All-Star exceeded his season average in that category during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:45 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out again Saturday for Game 3
      Jarrett Allen will remain out for Saturday’s Game 3 against Boston due to a right rib contusion.

      Advice: Allen has missed five straight postseason games, and he’ll extend that streak of absences to six on Saturday. Evan Mobley should continue to start at center, and Isaac Okoro will presumably remain with the first unit until Allen returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:08 pm
       
    • Dean Wade (knee) available Saturday vs. Boston
      Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is available for Saturday’s matchup with the Celtics.

      Advice: Wade’s last appearance was on March 8, so it’s unclear how much playing time he’ll get following the extended layoff. At the very least, he’ll add some depth to Cleveland’s forward rotation. The Kansas State product averaged 5.4 points, 4.0 boards and 1.5 triples across 20.5 minutes in the 2023-24 regular season.

    • Ruled out for Game 3
      Allen (ribs) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics, Evan Dammarell of Right Down Euclid reports.

      Advice: Allen has yet to see the court in the series against the Celtics, but he'll aim to be available for the Game 4 matchup on Monday. This means Evan Mobley will remain at center Saturday while Isaac Okoro should also remain in the starting lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
       
    • Good to go Saturday
      Wade (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

      Advice: Wade has been sidelined since March 8, but he made it through warmups without any setbacks and is officially good to go. Jarrett Allen (ribs) remains out, however. It will be interesting to see what type of role Wade plays after being sidelined so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
       
    • Kyrie Irving records 22/5/7/1/1 line in Game 3 win
      Kyrie Irving finished Saturday’s 105-101 win over the Thunder with 22 points (10-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Irving turned things up a notch offensively during the second half for the second time in this series. He scored 14 of his 22 points in the final 15 minutes of Game 3, sealing the victory with a left-handed floater with about 30 seconds remaining. With Luka Doncic playing through multiple injuries, Irving’s ability to make things happen offensively is of even greater importance to the Mavericks. Dallas will take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Monday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:11 pm
       
    • Not on injury report
      Alexander-Walker is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker appeared to hurt his left shoulder during Game 3 Friday, and he was complaining about the pain in the locker room after the game. However, it appears that he escaped without anything too serious, and fantasy managers can expect him to suit up in his usual role Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:51 pm
