    • Obi Toppin chips in 15 points off bench in Game 3
      Obi Toppin provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), six rebounds and two triples against the Bucks on Friday.

      Advice: Toppin scored 13 points total in Games 1 and 2 of this series, but he exceeded that number in this game. He only played 17 minutes, and it’s unlikely that he plays a larger role moving forward. However, he stepped up and provided them with a nice boost in this one. Toppin was the team’s starting power forward to open the year, but he has still found a way to be effective as a reserve recently. He may not have mayn scoring nights like this in this series, but his role is still an important one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:28 pm
       
    • 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 first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      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 for Game 4, look for Middleton to continue to provide a lift to Milwaukee offensively. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:02 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 5:55 pm
       
    • Steps up off bench in Game 3 win
      Toppin finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Toppin provided a nice spark off Indiana's bench to help his squad take a series lead over Milwaukee, leading all bench players in scoring while ending as one of five Pacers with 15 or more points in the overtime contest. Toppin posted his highest point total of the postseason thus far, surpassing the double-digit mark for the first time in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:47 pm
       
    • Anthony Davis (wrist) questionable for Saturday
      Anthony Davis (left wrist sprain) is questionable to play against the Nuggets in Game 4 on Saturday.

      Advice: This could be the last game of their season. Davis isn’t going to miss this one, no matter how bad he’s hurting. He’ll play a ton of minutes as they look to keep their season alive. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:19 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 4
      Davis is questionable for Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver due to a left wrist sprain, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Davis has been a regular on the injury report, but this is a new issue. Previously, Davis was battling a back injury and some soreness in both heels. He seemed fine in Game 3, however, as he produced 33 points (14-23 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:13 pm
       
    • Khris Middleton (ankle) active Friday vs. Pacers
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Bucks and Pacers.

      Advice: Middleton returned from a leg injury in Game 2 and is set to suit up despite not practicing on Thursday. Pat Connaughton will likely get an extended run if Middleton struggles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Middleton (ankle) will play in Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

      Advice: Middleton has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite suffering a right ankle sprain in Game 2. There is no indication that the 32-year-old forward will be on a minutes restriction. Middleton is averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.5 minutes across the first two games of the series against Indiana. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:27 pm
       
    • Massive line in Game 3 defeat
      Davis finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to Denver in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (14-23 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes.

      Advice: LeBron James has been the most influential all-around player for the Lakers in the series, but when it comes to putting up numbers, Davis has been leading the way. He's recorded at least 32 points with double-digit rebounds in the three games in the series so far. Davis should be in line to handle another heavy workload in Game 4 on Saturday regardless of whether he's on the injury report. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:16 am
