Player Notes

  • Good to go Friday
    Gafford (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers.

    Advice: Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. Gafford should start at center for the third straight game to start the series. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) active Friday vs. Mavericks
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as active for the Clippers’ Friday meeting with the Mavericks.

    Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his first playoff game of the year but will run it back on Friday after scoring just 15 points in a Game 2 loss. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
  • Kevin Love (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
    Kevin Love (left upper arm contusion) is probable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics game.

    Advice: Love logged just six minutes in Miami’s Game 2 win and appears poised to continue coming off the bench moving forward. He was held scoreless in his last outing. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is questionable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

    Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after tallying nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue to play a significant role off the bench on Saturday. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
  • Good to go Saturday
    Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available and serve as one of New Orleans' primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 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 Today, 1:38 pm
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) officially out Friday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Pacers.

    Advice: Giannis will miss a third straight playoff game as the series with the Pacers shifts to Indiana. Bobby Portis usually balls out when Giannis is sidelined, and Portis will be expected to shoulder a heftier load once again. Rotoworld Today, 10:26 am
  • 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 Today, 6:16 am
  • Scores 26 in Game 3 defeat
    James produced 26 points (12-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: James had another strong showing, but as has been the trend throughout the series, the Lakers couldn't maintain their lead and ended up losing, falling into an 0-3 deficit. James has done everything in his power to counter Denver, reaching the 25-point mark in all three of his appearances in the series while averaging 26.3 points, 9.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds across 40.3 minutes per contest.
