  • Luka Doncic tallies 22 points, 15 boards in Game 3
    Luka Doncic amassed 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), 15 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

    Advice: Doncic does not appear 100%, but the guard who finished third in MVP voting continues to play through the pain. While he wasn’t as efficient as he can be as a scorer, Luka contributed in other areas. The 15 rebounds were two shy of his playoff career high, and Doncic was also responsible for five assists. With Kyrie Irving having another big second half and PJ Washington continuing to punish the Thunder, Dallas has won two straight with its best player hobbled due to injury. Game 4 is on Monday night, with the Mavericks aiming to take a 3-1 series lead. Rotoworld Today, 3:20 pm
     
  • Kyrie Irving records 22/5/7/1/1 line in Game 3 win
    Kyrie Irving finished Saturday’s 105-101 win over the Thunder with 22 points (10-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

    Advice: Irving turned things up a notch offensively during the second half for the second time in this series. He scored 14 of his 22 points in the final 15 minutes of Game 3, sealing the victory with a left-handed floater with about 30 seconds remaining. With Luka Doncic playing through multiple injuries, Irving’s ability to make things happen offensively is of even greater importance to the Mavericks. Dallas will take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Monday night. Rotoworld Today, 3:11 pm
     
  • Not on injury report
    Alexander-Walker is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Alexander-Walker appeared to hurt his left shoulder during Game 3 Friday, and he was complaining about the pain in the locker room after the game. However, it appears that he escaped without anything too serious, and fantasy managers can expect him to suit up in his usual role Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:51 pm
     
  • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out for Game 4 Sunday
    OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Anunoby was not expected to be available for Game 4, so this status update is unsurprising. Precious Achiuwa started Game 3 and had issues defending Pascal Siakam. Anunoby’s absence also freed up rotation minutes for Alec Burks, who scored 14 points on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:47 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) questionable Sun.
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, right ankle sprain) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Already dealing with lower back spasms, Haliburton sprained his ankle during the second half of Friday’s victory. He should ultimately be cleared to play on Sunday; the question is whether or not the back or ankle will give Haliburton any trouble during the game. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • Questionable to play Sunday
    Haliburton is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks due to back and ankle injuries.

    Advice: Haliburton is pretty banged up, as the star floor general is dealing with three different injuries ahead of Sunday's contest: low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain. Haliburton has been playing well of late and has surpassed the 30-point mark in each of Indiana's last two games. Rotowire.com Today, 2:39 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 4
    Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
     
  • Checking back in
    Williams (ankle) has returned to Saturday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Williams took a trip to the locker room late in the third quarter with what seemed to be a left ankle injury, but he'll be back in action for the fourth period. His return should mean fewer minutes for Gordon Hayward and Jaylin Williams down the stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 2:31 pm
     
  • Heads to locker room
    Williams went to the locker room during Saturday's Game 3 against Dallas with what appears to be a left ankle injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Williams stepped on Josh Green's foot and went down while the play continued. He limped off the court and directly into the locker room, where he'll undergo further evaluation. While he's out, Jaylin Williams and Gordon Hayward could see more action. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
