  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:48 pm
     
  • Derrick Jones Jr. posts 14/7/1/1/1 line in Game 4
    Derrick Jones Jr. shot 6-of-9 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    Advice: Jones was one of four Mavericks starters to reach double figures in Game 4, which the Mavericks trailed by as much as 31 before rallying during the second half. Since going scoreless in Game 1, Airplane Mode has made at least 50% of his shots in three consecutive games. While the 2-of-3 afternoon from beyond the arc in Game 4 was a departure from the norm for Jones, this was an encouraging sight, as the Mavericks need others to step up in assistance of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Jones will look to build on this performance in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:09 pm
     
  • Will start sans Leonard
    Coffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:08 am
     
  • Amir Coffey to start Sunday’s Game 4 vs. Mavericks
    James Harden, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Paul George, and Ivica Zubac will start Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

    Advice: Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out, so Coffey returns to the starting lineup for Game 4. He started Game 1 but failed to offer much value, finishing with six points, three rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers. In addition to Coffey starting, look for Norman Powell to play more minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:07 am
     
  • Takes two shots in 24 minutes
    Harris racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: After playing 33 and 34 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the opening-round series, Harris played 21 and 24 minutes during the two wins in Orlando. Outside of a 14-point outing in Game 2, Harris has been a non-factor offensively, going just 1-for-11 from the field. Defensively, he has six steals through four games and at least one swipe in each matchup. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:49 am
     
  • Scoreless in 21 minutes
    Okoro provided one rebound, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Okoro scored 14 points during the first two games in Cleveland -- both wins. However, he was held scoreless across the two losses in Orlando and attempted three total shots during those contests. On the bright side, Okoro has eight steals through four postseason games thus far. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:35 am
     
  • Fails to score Saturday
    Ryan amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over three minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Ryan failed to score in his three minutes, adding to what was a terrible night for New Orleans. Playing in front of their home fans, the Pelicans offered little resistance. Now on the brink of elimination, New Orleans will look to turn things around Monday in the hope of sending the series back to Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:22 pm
     
  • Struggles continue Saturday
    Hayward had four rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Saturday's 106-85 victory over the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Hayward continues to be nothing more than a depth piece for the Thunder, logging just eight minutes in the victory. While he does provide the team with a veteran presence, Hayward is not viewed as a key on-court piece. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:17 pm
     
  • Won't play Sunday
    Livingston (illness) won't play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston has rarely seen the floor for the Bucks this season, as he averaged 4.3 minutes across 21 regular-season appearances. He'll be missing a second straight game due to an illness. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:42 pm
