  • Questionable for Game 4
    Doncic is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.

    Advice: Doncic has been impressive for the Mavericks during the first-round matchup against the Clippers, averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game through the first three contests. Even though it's not surprising to see Doncic dealing with soreness given his workload throughout the season, the issue shouldn't keep him away from playing -- and handling his usage rage -- in Sunday's contest.

  • Luka Doncic (knee) questionable for Game 4

  • Jalen Suggs provides 12/2/3 line with 7 turnovers
    Jalen Suggs provided a solid line on Saturday with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two triples and seven turnovers against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs and Paolo Banchero struggled to take care of the ball in the first half and entered the break with a combined nine turnovers, with Suggs accounting for five of them. They cleaned things up in the second half, which helped them outscore the Cavs 61-29 over the final two quarters. Suggs had a big performance in Game 3, and while he wasn’t able to replicate that in Game 4, he was able to turn in a solid stat line, despite a rough first half. If they can take care of the ball in Game 5 on Tuesday, they may be able to steal one on the road. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm
     
  • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half

    Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland.

  • Out Saturday
    Wright (personal) will not play in Saturday's Game 3 matchup with the Celtics, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

    Advice: Wright came back too earth in Game 2 following a big performance in the first game of the series versus Boston. He will now be sidelined until at least Game 4. In his absence, Patty Mills and Duncan Robinson could see a slightly bigger workload. Rotowire.com Today, 11:39 am
     
  • Delon Wright (personal) ruled out for Game 3
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) will not play in Game 3 against the Celtics on Saturday.

    Advice: Wright has officially been ruled out after initially being listed as questionable for this game. That should result in minutes off the bench for Patty Mills, though Tyler Herro will continue to play most of the minutes at point guard. Rotoworld Today, 11:15 am
     
  • Haynes: Lillard diagnosed with strained Achilles
    According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left Achilles strain and is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Lillard, who has been dealing with Achilles soreness for a few weeks, aggravated the issue during Friday’s Game 3 defeat. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle with the injury, ultimately being used as a decoy during the overtime period. In addition to being doubtful for Game 4, Lillard was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green would be in play for additional minutes if he cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 am
     
  • Game 4 in doubt
    Lillard suffered a strained Achilles in Friday's loss to the Pacers and there is serious doubt over his availability for Game 4 on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Lillard was able to return to Game 3 after suffering the injury and finished the contest with 28 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight assists, three steals and one rebound over 45 minutes. Final confirmation on his status Sunday will presumably come closer to game time. AJ Green, Andre Jackson and Malik Beasley would all be candidates to see increased minutes alongside Patrick Beverley in the backcourt should Lillard indeed need to sit out.

  • Delon Wright (personal) questionable for Game 3
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 against Boston.

    Advice: With Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, Wright has figured more prominently within the Heat rotation than many anticipated. After scoring 17 points in a Game 1 loss to the Celtics, he logged 20 minutes in Game 2 despite not having much of an impact from a statistical standpoint. Rozier is already out, so losing Wright would put the Heat in a problematic spot regarding bench depth. Rotoworld Today, 8:22 am
