  • 11-8-1 8th Place
    • Serviceable in spor start
      Alexander-Walker amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Mike Conley who was ruled out due to an Achilles issue. While he was far from spectacular, Alexander-Walker cobbled together a serviceable performance, contributing on both ends of the floor. Now trailing 3-2 in the series, Minnesota will be hoping Conley is cleared to return for Game 6. Should that not be the case, expect to see Alexander-Walker running with the starters once again.

    • Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores 14 points Tuesday
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker finished Tuesday’s 112-97 loss to Denver with 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Due to Mike Conley (Achilles) sitting out Game 5, Alexander-Walker was moved into the starting lineup. While he did finish with a minus-13, the overall stat line was solid. NAW made four of his eight 3-point attempts, and his five assists were countered by one turnover. Alexander-Walker’s place in the rotation for Thursday’s Game 6 depends on Conley’s availability; clearly, he will return to the bench if the Timberwolves’ starting point guard can play.

    • MIN starting NAW, Edwards, Jaden, Towns, Gobert
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert will start Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: The Timberwolves are without Mike Conley, who injured his right Achilles tendon on the final play of Sunday’s Game 4 defeat. Alexander-Walker moves into the starting lineup, which also means even more opportunities for Edwards to serve as the primary playmaker. Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris could enter the rotation, as Minnesota will need them to help navigate Conley’s absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:04 pm
       
    • Gets starting nod
      Alexander-Walker is in the starting five for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker will replace Mike Conley (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Alexander-Walker is averaging 11.5 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:04 pm
       
    • Out for Game 5
      Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper has missed ten straight games with a sprained left ankle. HIs next chance to suit up will be Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:40 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 5 Wed.
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma City.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s crucial Game 5 but is listed as probable instead of questionable. He’ll be on the court; the question is how effective the Mavericks point guard will be. He’s looked frustrated during this series, and not being fully healthy doesn’t help matters. While Doncic recorded a triple-double in Monday’s Game 4 defeat, he shot 6-of-20 from the field and committed seven turnovers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:39 pm
       
    • Expected to play Wednesday
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but is expected to suit up yet again. Doncic is averaging 41.0 minutes per contest across the first four games of the series and is unlikely to operate under a minutes restriction in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Posts triple-double Monday
      Doncic provided 18 points (6-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: On the surface, Doncic's final stat line looks good, as he posted his second triple-double of the postseason and made his presence felt on the defensive end. However, the star guard is battling with several injuries, and he looked a step slow in some sequences and was extremely inefficient with his shot. Doncic is averaging 22.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in the series against the Thunder, and the decrease in the scoring column is directly tied to the fact he's shooting a mere 39 percent from the floor. He'll aim to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:09 am
       
    • Luka Doncic posts inefficient triple-double Monday
      Luka Doncic recorded a triple-double on Monday with 18 points (6-of-20 FGs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block, two triples and seven turnovers against the Thunder in Game 4.

      Advice: As Doncic continues to play through multiple lower body injuries, his numbers have understandably suffered. Outside of Game 2, his shooting in this series has been way below average. He shot poorly in the first round as well, but it was covered up by gaudy numbers and wins. Injuries aren’t an excuse in the playoffs, and Dallas simply needs more out of their superstar if they want to win another game in OKC. The good news is that it doesn’t get much worse than 6-of-20 shooting and seven turnovers. He’ll look to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotoworld Monday, 9:52 pm
