  • 13-7-0 5th Place
    • Carries Denver to even series
      Jokic ended Sunday's 115-107 win over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 35 points (15-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Aaron Gordon had an excellent showing and Jamal Murray made some clutch buckets throughout the game, but Jokic was the engine that kept the team going. For the second game in a row, he came through whenever Denver needed him the most. Jokic is expected to lead the Nuggets as the series returns to Denver for a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday, and he's averaging 26.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game in the series.

    • Nikola Jokic dominates Wolves with 35/7/7/3/1
      Nikola Jokic provided 35 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals, a block and a three-pointer across 39 minutes in Sunday’s victory over Minnesota.

      Advice: Joker led his team in scoring and finished with his most points of this postseason run. He was a bit light on the peripheral contributions (especially for his lofty standards), but Jokic was still masterful across the board as he led his team to a much-needed win to even up the series with Minnesota. Jokic and Co. dropped their first two games of this series at Ball Arena, and after two road wins, they should be fired up for Tuesday’s home date with the Timberwolves. Expect the three-time MVP to deliver another strong performance in the much-anticipated Game 5. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Available Sunday
      Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope was deemed questionable ahead of gametime due to a right abdominal contusion, but he will suit up for Sunday's matchup. Battling through the same injury in Game 3, Caldwell-Pope logged 37 minutes, so he should be in for a full workload Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:22 pm
       
    • Josh Hart limited to 24 minutes in Game 4 loss
      Josh Hart shot 1-of-6 from the field in Sunday’s loss to the Pacers, accounting for two points, three rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes.

      Advice: Like many of the Knicks’ available rotation players, Hart appeared to be running on empty in Game 4. He was subbed out far earlier than usual (if he sits at all), and the nature of Sunday’s game led to Hart only playing 24 minutes. The 121-89 loss was a “burn the tape” game for New York, with the additional rest for Hart and the other mainstays in the rotation being the lone positive. The series is tied at two games apiece, with Game 5 set for Tuesday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:08 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves with a right abdominal contusion.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope will land a questionable designation for a second consecutive contest due to a bruised abdomen. He was able to play through the injury in Game 3 and logged 37 minutes, so there should be a level of optimism ahead of Sunday's tilt. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:06 pm
       
    • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) questionable Sun.
      Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: While he hasn’t been healthy, Caldwell-Pope has continued to play starters’ minutes as the Nuggets look to repeat as champions. Look for him to do the same on Sunday, as KCP is Denver’s best option to defend Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Pulls down 18 boards in Game 3 loss
      Hart posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 43 minutes during Friday's 111-106 loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Hart didn't do much on the offensive end of the court and barely reached double-digit scoring, but as has been the case all year long, he made his presence felt on the glass. The 18 rebounds represented his best output in the current playoff run in that category, and he's grabbed double-digit boards in all but two of his nine playoff appearances. He's averaging 17.1 points and 13.3 rebounds per game in the postseason so far. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:15 am
       
    • Michael Porter Jr. hits four 3-pointers in Game 3
      Michael Porter Jr. recorded a line of 21 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes in Friday’s Game 3 win over the Timberwolves.

      Advice: After scoring 20 points in Game 1, Porter had a brutal Game 2. He wasn’t the only Nuggets player who needed to redeem himself in Game 3, and MPJ came through with timely perimeter shooting. He’s scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven playoff games, and he finished Game 3 one blocked shot shy of his third straight full stat line. Also shooting the ball well from three for Denver was Aaron Gordon, who was 3-of-4 from deep and finished with 13 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 33 minutes. Given the amount of attention Minnesota has paid Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, there will be opportunities for Porter and Gordon to flourish. They took advantage on Friday and must do the same in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 9:18 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in 21-point Game 3
      Porter ended with 21 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes in Friday's 117-90 win over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Porter provided a nice lift offensively for Denver in its first win of the conference semifinals, leading all Nuggets in threes made while ending as one of three players with 20 or more points in Game 3. Porter had a bounce-back performance after failing to reach double figures in scoring in Game 2, and he has now posted 20 or more points in two of the three games against Minnesota.
