  • Jalen Williams tallies 21/9/5/2 line in Game 3
    Jalen Williams posted a solid line on Saturday with 21 points (9-of-16 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and three triples against the Pelicans.

    Advice: JDub came out of the game early after getting poked in the eye, but he was able to return quickly and make a big impact on this game. Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey combined to score 66 of OKC’s 106 points in this game, and the Pelicans didn’t have an answer for the second straight game. Williams has been really solid through the first three games of his playoff career, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’ll look to keep it going in Game 4 to try and close out the series on Monday. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • Josh Giddey produces 21/8/6/1 line with 4 triples
    Josh Giddey stuffed the stat sheet on Saturday and finished with 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against the Pelicans in Game 3.

    Advice: Giddey played better in Game 2 than he did in Game 1, and he was even better in this one. He produced a solid stat line, and he was a threat from beyond the arc, which has been a weakness for the team. If Giddey can consistently knock down open shots, they’ll be a difficult team to slow down during this postseason. It is unlikely that he will continue to be this productive as a scorer, but he was an important piece in their big win on Saturday. If he can have another game like this, they won’t have any issues closing this series out in Game 4 on Monday. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turns in 24/5/8/4/1 in G3
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 24 points (8-of-20 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and one triple in a 106-85 win over New Orleans in Game 3 on Saturday.

    Advice: SGA wasn’t as efficient in this game in comparison to his performances in Games 1 and 2, but he was still able to lead the team in scoring and help them take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. This was a well-rounded performance for the team, and they’ll have a chance to close out the series in Game 4 on Monday. SGA, who is a finalist for the league’s MVP award, has had a strong start to the postseason, and they’ll need him to keep it up if they want to make any real noise in the playoffs this year.

  • Questionable for Game 4
    Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and his mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Doubtful for Game 4
    Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since missing the final three games of the regular season. Coach Doc Rivers hinted that Antetokounmpo is ramping up towards a return, but he wasn't optimistic about the forward returning for Sunday. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Probable for Sunday
    Middleton is probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Middleton is coming off a 42-point effort in the Game 3 loss on Friday, and the veteran forward has embraced a more prominent role on offense with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Middleton is averaging 26.7 points per game in the series while logging at least 35 minutes in each game, and the probable tag suggests he shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload Sunday.

  • Chris Livingston (illness) to remain out Sunday
    Chris Livingston (illness) will remain sidelined for Game 4 against Indiana on Sunday.

    Advice: Livingston’s continued absence will not impact their rotation, since he doesn’t play when healthy. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Khris Middleton (ankle) probable Sunday vs. Indy
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against the Pacers on Sunday.

    Advice: With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard listed as doubtful, Middleton will have to put the team on his back in this game. He had 42 points in Game 3, and he may have to produce similar value to give the Bucks a chance. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Sunday for Game 4
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday.

    Advice: Embiid will continue to be on the injury report as he manages this left knee injury, as well as Bell’s Palsy. However, he will continue to play through it. He’ll look to have another big night and try to tie the series 2-2. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
