  • 109-71-0 4th Place
    • 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 Yesterday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 3 Friday
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Suns.

      Advice: While it was announced that Anderson was available for Tuesday’s Game 2, he did not play. Nickeil Alexander-Walker benefitted the most regarding playing time, as he logged 31 minutes off the bench. Expect a similar scenario if Anderson does not play in Game 3.

    • Questionable for Friday
      Anderson (hip) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 versus the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

      Advice: Anderson was cleared to play in Game 2 with this same right hip issue, but he never saw the floor. Instead, Nickeil Alexander-Walker played 31 minutes off the bench as Minnesota tightened up its rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:59 pm
       
    • Stephen Curry wins Clutch Player of the Year award
      Stephen Curry won the Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year award on Thursday.

      Advice: Curry beat out DeMar DeRozan and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, receiving 45 first-place votes to DeRozan’s 34. Those two were separated by 26 total points, with SGA coming in third with 160 points (11 first-place votes). Curry led the NBA in crunch time points (189), made field goals (59), and made 3-pointers (32). “Crunch time” is defined as the final five minutes of a game within five points. Rounding out the top five were Nikola Jokic and Jalen Brunson. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:19 pm
       
    • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Friday
      Grayson Alen (right ankle) is listed as questionable for the Suns’ Friday matchup with the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Allen was dealing with a sprained right ankle ahead of Game 2 and rolled it during play. The Suns wing’s status for Game 3 is up in the air and Eric Gordon will likely take advantage of his absence if he’s ruled out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:08 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 3
      Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Allen tweaked his right ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but underwent an X-ray after the matchup that came back negative. He practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to run with a water treadmill. He also said that his ankle feels "better than expected." It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but it's encouraging that he was able to do some activity Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Drains four threes Wednesday
      Dort racked up 15 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 win over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren carried the Thunder to a blowout win in Game 2 of the series, but Dort made his presence felt Wednesday and was a menace from beyond the arc. Dort should remain a capable contributor as the series heads to New Orleans for Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:05 am
       
    • Goes for 26 points Wednesday
      Holmgren chipped in 26 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 win over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

      Advice: Holmgren was expected to have a tough matchup while being guarded by Jonas Valanciunas, but the rookie has looked outstanding in his first two playoff contests, posting a double-double in Game 1 and delivering his best scoring output in more than a month in the second game of the series. Holmgren should continue to have a prominent role for the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:00 am
       
    • Chet Holmgren scores 26 points vs. Pelicans
      Chet Holmgren scored 26 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) in the Thunder’s win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. He totaled seven rebounds, an assist, two blocks, and three 3-pointers as well.

      Advice: Holmgren improved upon his previous outing in his second-ever playoff game. He led all players in blocks and only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored more points in the contest. The rookie’s performance can help him carry confidence into his first road playoff game. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:15 pm
