    • Dealing with calf strain
      Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

      Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Monday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

      Advice: While Murray’s injury during Saturday’s Game 4 defeat appeared to be a tweak, he has been officially diagnosed with a strained left calf. Denver’s depth is already limited due to a lack of consistent production from the bench, so losing Murray would be a significant development. Reggie Jackson will move into the starting lineup if he cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm
       
    • Scores 22 points with 23 shots
      Murray racked up 22 points (9-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Murray's shooting woes continued in Game 4, as he finished with nine or fewer shots made while attempting 20-plus for the fourth consecutive contest. His numbers on the surface look good, as Murray is averaging 21.5 points per game while the Nuggets are 3-1 up in the series, but he's shooting a woeful 38 percent from the field. The Nuggets need him to be more efficient if they want to close the series out in Game 5 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray finishes Game 4 loss with 22 points
      Jamal Murray logged 39 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, producing 22 points (9-of-23 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, and one blocked shot.

      Advice: While Murray has scored 20 points or more in all four games, the Lakers have done what they can to make him an inefficient scorer. He’s shot below 40% from the field in all four games and racked up four turnovers in Games 3 and 4. Denver won the first three games of the series despite Murray’s struggles, but the Lakers’ inability to maintain leads was also a factor. Los Angeles was only a minus-2 in third-quarter points on Saturday, which, along with Murray’s struggles, factored into the outcome. He’ll look to turn things around in Game 5 on Monday night.

    • Brandon Ingram leads Pelis with 19 points in loss
      Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 19 points (7-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two triples in a 106-85 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 on Saturday.

      Advice: With Zion Williamson sidelined, the Pelicans have needed BI to put the team on his back. He simply hasn’t been able to do that. He is averaging 18.3 points per game in this series, which isn’t All-Star level production. They’re now down 3-0 in this series, and they’ll need Ingram to step up his aggressiveness in Game 4 on Monday if they want to extend this series. He made 50% of his shots in this game after shooting 50% in Game 2 as well. They simply need him to shoot more, which is something that Lu Dort hasn’t made easy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Goes for 22 points Thursday
      Murray contributed 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block in 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Murray didn't have his best shooting performance after needing 21 shots to score 22 points, but he compensated for the lack of efficiency with his nine assists. He's reached the 20-point mark in the first three games of the series against the Lakers, but the lack of efficiency has been a problem, as he's made just 37.7 percent of his field-goal attempts so far.

    • Fails to score in four minutes
      Hield ended Thursday's 125-114 victory over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one block in four minutes.

      Advice: Hield barely touched the floor in the win, continuing his rapid fall from grace. He is basically an afterthought at this point, despite the fact the 76ers are not loaded with reliable talent. It appears as though he will need an offseason move to have a chance of reclaiming his standing as a fantasy asset next season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Jamal Murray produces 22 points, nine assists
      Jamal Murray finished Thursday’s Game 3 win over the Lakers with 22 points (8-of-21 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Murray hasn’t shot the ball well in this series, making less than 38% of his attempts in all three games, but that hasn’t mattered. He’s still scored at least 20 points in each, and the Nuggets hold a 3-0 lead in the series. While the fourth quarter was when Murray went off in Game 2, it was the second and third frames when he did his handiwork on Thursday. In those periods, he shot 8-of-15 from the field, which Denver won by a combined score of 60-42. Murray and the Nuggets will look to end the series on Saturday night.

    • Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
      Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than he did in the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate since Zion Williamson (hamstring) was sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action in the regular-season finale, and the Pelicans need him to be at his best for Game 3 against Oklahoma City on Saturday.
