    • Aaron Gordon records 18/10/5/1 line in Game 5 win
      Aaron Gordon finished Tuesday’s 112-97 win over the Timberwolves with 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 34 minutes.

      Advice: Gordon recorded his first double-double of the series on Tuesday, supplementing the Herculean efforts of Nikola Jokic to help the Nuggets take a 3-2 series lead. While he missed his lone 3-point attempt, AG has been a credible shooter from beyond the arc and the foul line. Counting Tuesday’s numbers, Gordon is shooting 8-of-13 from three and 9-of-12 from the charity stripe. During the regular season, he shot 29% from three and 65.8% from the foul line, so the production in this series has been a departure from the norm. However, a five-game sample size is nothing to scoff at. Gordon and the Nuggets will look to close out the series in Game 6 on Thursday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:12 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 5 Wed.
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma City.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s crucial Game 5 but is listed as probable instead of questionable. He’ll be on the court; the question is how effective the Mavericks point guard will be. He’s looked frustrated during this series, and not being fully healthy doesn’t help matters. While Doncic recorded a triple-double in Monday’s Game 4 defeat, he shot 6-of-20 from the field and committed seven turnovers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:39 pm
       
    • Expected to play Wednesday
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but is expected to suit up yet again. Doncic is averaging 41.0 minutes per contest across the first four games of the series and is unlikely to operate under a minutes restriction in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Posts triple-double Monday
      Doncic provided 18 points (6-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: On the surface, Doncic's final stat line looks good, as he posted his second triple-double of the postseason and made his presence felt on the defensive end. However, the star guard is battling with several injuries, and he looked a step slow in some sequences and was extremely inefficient with his shot. Doncic is averaging 22.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in the series against the Thunder, and the decrease in the scoring column is directly tied to the fact he's shooting a mere 39 percent from the floor. He'll aim to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:09 am
       
    • Luka Doncic posts inefficient triple-double Monday
      Luka Doncic recorded a triple-double on Monday with 18 points (6-of-20 FGs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block, two triples and seven turnovers against the Thunder in Game 4.

      Advice: As Doncic continues to play through multiple lower body injuries, his numbers have understandably suffered. Outside of Game 2, his shooting in this series has been way below average. He shot poorly in the first round as well, but it was covered up by gaudy numbers and wins. Injuries aren’t an excuse in the playoffs, and Dallas simply needs more out of their superstar if they want to win another game in OKC. The good news is that it doesn’t get much worse than 6-of-20 shooting and seven turnovers. He’ll look to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotoworld Monday, 9:52 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) available for Game 4
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain, left ankle soreness) will play in Game 4 against the Thunder on Monday.

      Advice: As expected, Doncic has been cleared to play in Monday’s game as Dallas looks to take a 3-1 lead in the series. He only had 22 points in Saturday’s win, but he also added 15 rebounds and five assists. He should continue to put up big numbers moving forward. Rotoworld Monday, 5:01 pm
       
    • Cleared for Game 4
      Doncic (knee) will play in Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic took a step in the right direction by participating in morning shootaround, and he's since been given the green light to suit up for Monday's matchup. The star point guard has been held in check by his standards through the first three games of the series, knocking down 42.1 percent of his tries from the field and 35.0 percent from downtown.

    • Goes through shootaround
      Doncic (knee/ankle) took part in the Mavericks' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Monday's Game 4 matchup with the Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals round, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Despite carrying a questionable tag into Game 4, Doncic doesn't seem to be in any real danger of missing the contest. He helped the Mavericks claim a 2-1 series lead in Saturday's 105-101 win, pouring in 22 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT) to go with 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes.

    • Makes history in Game 4 victory
      Gordon produced 27 points (11-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Even though Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray get most of the attention for carrying Denver back from an 0-2 deficit, Gordon's performance Sunday can't be overlooked. He became the first player in NBA history to put up at least 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists while shooting 90 percent or better from the field in a playoff game. He's averaging 17.3 points per game while shooting 71.8 percent from the field in the series, and he'll aim to keep the momentum going ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:32 am
