  • Mike Conley (calf) questionable for Game 7 Sunday
    Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Conley returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup for Game 6, and his presence also benefitted Anthony Edwards in the 45-point victory. If the veteran point guard cannot play in Game 7, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will move into the starting lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:59 pm
     
  • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) available for Game 6
    Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is available for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

    Advice: Doncic’s status upgrade is unsurprising, as the Mavericks have taken the same approach throughout this series. Dallas will stick with the same starting five, with Luka being joined by Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., PJ Washington, and Daniel Gafford. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:33 pm
     
  • Questionable for Sunday
    Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against Denver.

    Advice: After missing Game 5 with this same injury, Conley played in Game 6 on Thursday and finished with 13 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes. With Minnesota's season on the line, Conley will likely attempt to power through the issue again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:54 pm
     
  • Available Saturday
    Doncic (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 6 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Doncic has been pushing through questionable and probable tags throughout the playoffs with various injuries, but he's yet to miss a single game. Look for him to see his usual workload Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:27 pm
     
  • Questionable for Sunday
    Murray is questionable to play in Sunday's Game 7 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain.

    Advice: Murray has been listed as questionable throughout the entire series, but that's not surprising, as the star point guard has been dealing with a left calf strain since the end of Denver's first-round series against the Lakers. The Nuggets may need Murray to be at his best if they want to win Sunday, as he's coming off a woeful showing in the Game 6 loss on Thursday, scoring 10 points while shooting 4-for-18 from the field.

  • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 7 Sunday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Murray is once again considered questionable for a playoff game, but he has yet to miss one this postseason. The concern ahead of Game 7 is that he’s also dealing with an elbow injury suffered during Denver’s blowout loss in Game 6. Murray should ultimately play, but the cumulative effect of the injuries is something to be mindful of. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:38 pm
     
  • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 6 Sat.
    Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

    Advice: As has been the case throughout this series, Doncic is on the Mavericks’ preliminary injury report. He’s yet to miss a game this postseason, and the probable tag suggests that will continue to be the case on Saturday night. DFS players should plan for Doncic to be on the court and approach (if not exceed) 40 minutes as the Mavericks look to close out Oklahoma City. Rotoworld Friday, 3:09 pm
     
  • Listed as probable again
    Doncic is probable for Saturday's Game 6 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

    Advice: Doncic hasn't missed a game this postseason despite being a regular on the injury report. That trend should continue Saturday as the Mavericks attempt to secure a spot in the Western Conference Finals. Across the previous five matchups versus Oklahoma City, Doncic averaged 23.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 41.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:34 pm
     
  • Shooting woes too much to overcome
    Murray recorded 10 points (4-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 loss to Minnesota in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Murray had been the catalyst of the Nuggets offense during this series, but he struggled massively Thursday, though the entire team looked overmatched from start to finish. There's no doubt the offense runs through Nikola Jokic, but it's also not a secret that Denver tends to struggle heavily when Murray is not at his best, and that has been the case in each of the three losses the Nuggets have suffered in this series. Murray will aim to bounce back in Sunday's Game 7, as the Nuggets need him at his best to avoid a monumental upset and keep their hopes of a title defense alive. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:59 pm
