    • Probable for Game 4
      Doncic (thoracic contusion) is probable for Friday's Game 4 matchup with the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic is a bit banged up at the moment, but there's almost no way that he'll be sitting out a potential elimination game in the Finals. Expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Friday's tip. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:07 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (chest) probable for Game 4 Friday
      Luka Doncic (thoracic contusion) is probable for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic is back on the injury report due to his thoracic contusion suffered during Game 2. However, he played 38 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday’s Game 3 defeat. Look for him to hit (or exceed) 40 minutes, provided he does not foul out. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Leads Dallas in Game 3 defeat
      Irving supplied 35 points (13-28 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 45 minutes during Wednesday's 106-99 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Luka Doncic was disqualified in the fourth after picking up his sixth foul, meaning Irving had to step his game up, and the veteran floor general was Dallas' most reliable scoring alternative throughout the entire contest. Irving bounced back from two subpar outings in the first two games of the series, but not even his highest scoring mark of the current postseason run was enough to lift Dallas to victory. Irving will aim to keep the momentum going ahead of Game 4 on Friday, as the Mavericks will have their backs against the wall for the remainder of the series due to their 0-3 deficit.

    • Fouls out in Game 3 loss
      Doncic closed with 27 points (11-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 106-99 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Doncic entered the fourth quarter with only two fouls to his name, but he was called for four fouls in the final 12 minutes of action, sending him off and erasing any possibility of a potential comeback. At that point, the Mavericks had reduced the deficit to just three points, and not having Doncic down the stretch certainly limited them. The Mavericks certainly expected more from their superstar guard, who'll now have his back against the wall as Dallas attempts to avoid getting swept in Game 4 on Friday.

    • Scores 30 in Game 3 win
      Brown finished Wednesday's 106-99 victory over Dallas in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 30 points (12-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 41 minutes.

      Advice: Brown continued his dominance on both sides of the court during Boston's Game 3 win. The star forward was quiet during the first half and posted only six points. But he exploded for another 24 in the second half, helping Boston stake a 3-0 Finals lead. He was also Boston's most efficient scorer while finishing two boards and two dimes short of a triple-double. His defensive effort also helped Boston keep Dallas under 100 points for the third consecutive game. Brown and his fellow Celtics will now look to sweep the Finals in Dallas on Friday.

    • Kyrie Irving rebounds, leads Mavs with 35 points
      Kyrie Irving shot 13-of-28 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 106-99 loss to Boston, accounting for 35 points, three rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers in 45 minutes.

      Advice: Having struggled in the first two games of the NBA Finals, Irving apologized to teammate Luka Doncic between Games 2 and 3. He stepped up on Wednesday, knocking down four 3-pointers and scoring a game-high 35 points. Irving was at his best during the first half, shooting 8-of-14 from the field and scoring 20 points. However, like many of his teammates, things took a downward turn during the third quarter, and the Mavericks’ fourth-quarter rally was a case of “too little, too late.” Irving, who has lost his last 14 games against the Celtics, will look to avoid being swept on Friday night.

    • Jaylen Brown records 30/8/8/0/1 line in Game 3 win
      Jaylen Brown played 41 minutes in Wednesday’s win over Dallas, amassing 30 points (12-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: While Jayson Tatum’s perceived struggles were a dominant talking point after the first two games of the NBA Finals, Brown has been elite throughout. In Game 3, he became the first Celtics player since John Havlicek in 1968 to tally at least 30 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists in an NBA Finals game. After winning Eastern Conference Finals MVP honors, Brown is the betting favorite to win NBA Finals MVP. Boston will look to close out the series on Friday night, and a win would give the franchise its first title since 2008. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic scores 27 points before fouling out
      Luka Doncic shot 11-of-27 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics, accounting for 27 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Doncic failed to hit the 40-minute mark in Game 3, as he fouled out with 4:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. He did produce a solid point total, but the efficiency was lacking, especially from beyond the arc. Doncic shot 1-of-7 from three and was visibly frustrated with the officiating throughout. No team has even come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-7 series in the NBA, so there’s no denying that Dallas faces near-impossible odds. If they’re to send the series back to Boston for Game 5, they need a more focused Doncic, especially defensively. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:01 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (chest) available for Game 3 Wednesday
      Luka Doncic (thoracic contusion) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: As expected, Doncic is good to go after being considered probable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual workload, likely logging at least 40 minutes as the Mavericks look to defend their home court. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:02 pm
