    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) out for Game 4 Sunday
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Milwaukee’s task of evening their first-round series at two games apiece gets significantly more difficult as Lillard joins Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green are all in the running for increased minutes in Game 4, with Doc Rivers’ choice to start being the best option for DFS tournaments.

    • Ruled out for Game 4
      Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: As expected, Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) have been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Lillard had been playing through soreness in his Achilles over the last few weeks and aggravated the issue during the Bucks' Game 3 loss on Friday. Malik Beasley, Andre Jackson and AJ Green are all candidates for increased roles in Lillard's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 8:40 am
       
    • Falls flat in second half
      Mitchell produced 18 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, six assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Mitchell scored all 18 points in the first half and went 0-for-4 from the field with four turnovers in the second half as Orlando cruised to a Game 4 victory, evening the series at 2-2. After totaling 53 points (20-43 FG) through the first two games in Cleveland, Mitchell scored only 31 points during the two losses in Orlando. Through four matchups, Mitchell is shooting only 42.5 percent from the field. Rotowire.com Today, 7:21 am
       
    • Doubtful for Game 4
      Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers.

      Advice: A report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Friday hinted at this, and now the Bucks have officially listed Lillard as doubtful on their injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so the Bucks will need guys like Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez to step up offensively. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half
      Donovan Mitchell struggled in the second half but still finished with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), one rebound, six assists, three steals, one triple and six turnovers against Orlando in Game 4 on Saturday.

      Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland. Mitchell will have to shake off this second half and get back on track to get back in the win column. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:33 pm
       
    • Haynes: Lillard diagnosed with strained Achilles
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right Achilles strain and is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Lillard, who has been dealing with Achilles soreness for a few weeks, aggravated the issue during Friday’s Game 3 defeat. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle with the injury, ultimately being used as a decoy during the overtime period. In addition to being doubtful for Game 4, Lillard was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green would be in play for additional minutes if he cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 am
       
    • Game 4 in doubt
      Lillard suffered a strained Achilles in Friday's loss to the Pacers, and there is serious doubt over his availability for Game 4 on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Lillard was able to return to Game 3 after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes. Final confirmation on his status Sunday will presumably come closer to game time. AJ Green, Andre Jackson and Malik Beasley would all be candidates to see increased minutes alongside Patrick Beverley in the backcourt should Lillard indeed need to sit out.

    • Scores team-high 28 points Friday
      Beal finished Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 28 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Beal led the Suns in scoring Friday, but as has been the case throughout the series, Phoenix simply hasn't been able to hang with the Timberwolves throughout an entire game, which explains the 0-3 series deficit the Suns are currently in. This was the first team Beal surpassed the 15-point mark in the series, and the veteran guard will need to keep the momentum going for Game 4 on Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round.

    • Nears 30 points despite injury
      Lillard posted 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite leaving Friday's game briefly with a knee injury, Lillard finished the Game 3 contest and led all Bucks players in assists while ending two points shy of the 30-point mark to provide a boost offensively in a losing effort. Lillard, who was perfect from the free-throw line to go along with a team-high-tying mark from three, has posted at least 28 points in all three games of the first round. It will be worth monitoring Lillard's status ahead of Game 4 given his brief exit Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:01 pm
