  • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) questionable Saturday
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain and left knee soreness) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 3 meeting with the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: Doncic’s minor injuries didn’t stop him from totaling 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in a Game 2 win. The Mavericks star will likely continue to power his team’s offense on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:43 pm
     
  • Travels with team
    Anunoby (hamstring) traveled with the Knicks to Indiana ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Advice: Anunoby has already been ruled out for Game 3 due to left hamstring soreness. However, the 25-year-old forward's presence with the team suggests his injury won't sideline him for a significant period of time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Doncic is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

    Advice: Doncic has been playing through the knee sprain throughout the postseason, but the ankle issue is new. He also smacked his face on the court during Game 2 on Thursday, but that's not mentioned in the official report. Despite all the injuries, the Mavericks were able to even the series and claim home-court advantage behind Doncic's 16-point first quarter. The superstar point guard is likely more probable than questionable for Game 3, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:47 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle injury. It appears unlikely he will suit up this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Expected to play Friday
    Brunson (foot) will likely go through warmups and play in Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

    Advice: Brunson is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right foot soreness but is expected to suit up. The star guard is averaging 35.6 points, 8.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 42.4 minutes across his eight appearances thus far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:55 pm
     
  • Jalen Brunson (foot) active Friday vs. Pacers
    Jalen Brunson (right foot soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Knicks-Pacers game.

    Advice: Brunson had an injury scare in Game 2 before returning to action and appears to be healthy enough to play again ahead of the weekend. It’s unclear whether he’ll handle his usual heavy workload, but some reserve guards could be asked to step up while OG Anunoby is out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:48 pm
     
  • Scores 20 points in Game 2 defeat
    Williams closed with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Williams was the Thunder's second-best scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but his solid two-way contributions were not enough to lift Oklahoma City to a 2-0 series lead. Williams has been outstanding in the playoffs and has confirmed the improvements he evidenced during the regular season. Through six postseason appearances, he's averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:28 am
