  • Nikola Jokic posts 23/12/4/3/3 line in Game 4 win
    Nikola Jokic accounted for 23 points (8-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, three steals, three blocks, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Friday's 108-95 win over Miami. 

    Advice: Despite dealing with a more active Miami defense and foul trouble, Jokic still managed to record a gaudy stat line. While the two-time MVP didn't post another triple-double, he did make some history. Jokic is the first player in league history to account for at least 500 points, 250 rebounds, and 150 assists in a single postseason. Simply put, the Heat haven't had an answer for Jokic. But we can say that about the entire NBA at this point. Jokic and the Nuggets will look to close out the series on Monday, with a win giving the franchise its first NBA title.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 11:28 pm
     
  • Report: Ismael Kamagate to stay in Europe next yr
    According to DNVR's Harrison Wind, Ismael Kamagate will remain in Europe for the 2023-24 season. 

    Advice: Selected with the 46th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Kamagate was picked by the Nuggets with the idea that he would remain overseas this season. And according to Friday's report, he'll be spending another season overseas. The 6-foot-11 center appeared in 34 league games for Paris this season, averaging 9.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 22.1 minutes, shooting 74.3% from the field. While the Nuggets do like Kamagate, he is reportedly not in the team's plans for next season.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 8:30 pm
     
  • Huge double-double in Game 3
    Adebayo contributed 22 points (7-21 FG, 8-10 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one block in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Denver in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Adebayo's efficiency from the field left much to be desired, but he was solid at the free-throw line and managed to tie his highest rebounding total in the playoffs. With Jimmy Butler's production having taken a step back for the first three games of the series, Adebayo has stepped into an increased role on the offensive end, averaging 23.0 points per game in The Finals.

  • Another triple-double
    Jokic closed Wednesday's 109-94 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 32 points (12-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 21 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 44 minutes.

    Advice: In yet another dazzling performance during the postseason, Jokic put his name in the history books Wednesday by becoming the first player to record a 30-20-10 game in the NBA Finals. Jokic has seven triple-doubles over his last nine playoff outings and owns exceptional 59.0/85.7/44.4 percent shooting splits through the first three games of the series with Miami.

  • Bam Adebayo puts up 22 points, 17 boards in Game 3
    Bam Adebayo shot 7-of-21 from the field and 8-of-10 from the foul line in Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Denver, scoring 22 points with 17 rebounds, three assists, and one blocked shot in 41 minutes. 

    Advice: Like many of his teammates, Adebayo had a tough time scoring around the basket in Game 3. The big man shot 5-of-15 in the paint, and as a team, the Heat converted just 17 of their 46 attempts. The good news for DFS players is that Adebayo made up for the poor shooting by getting to the foul line at a solid clip while grabbing a team-high 17 rebounds (the other Heat players combined for 16 boards). Adebayo's taking on a brutal matchup in the form of Nikola Jokic, but he has scored 21 points or more in each of the series' first three games. Efficiency wasn't an issue in the first two games, so we should see a better Adebayo in Game 4 on Friday. Whether that will be enough to beat the Nuggets remains to be seen.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Wednesday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Historic: Nikola Jokic drops 32/21/10 stat line
    Nikola Jokic shot 12-of-21 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line in Wednesday's 109-94 win over Miami, accumulating 32 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 44 minutes. 

    Advice: Jokic may have tried to downplay his night in the postgame interview, but his excellence in Game 3 cannot be denied. The two-time MVP became the first player in NBA Finals history to record a line with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists. Also, he's responsible for three of the five 30/20/10 lines in NBA postseason history (Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). Regardless of what Miami tries defensively, Jokic is going to get his numbers. And when he gets the help that he received from Jamal Murray in Game 3, the Nuggets are nearly impossible to beat. Game 4 is scheduled for Friday night, with Denver looking to take a 3-1 series lead.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Wednesday, 11:08 pm
     
  • Cody Zeller (foot) available for Game 3 of Finals
    Cody Zeller (sprained right foot) will play in Game 3 against Denver on Wednesday.

    Advice: As expected, Zeller will be available to play, and he'll likely see around eight minutes off the bench. He won't impact this game much other than giving Bam Adebayo a quick breather. NBCSportsEDGE.com Wednesday, 6:57 pm
     
  • May be traded over offseason
    The Suns will explore the possibility of trading Ayton (ribs) this offseason, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: After suffering a disappointing exit in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, it appears the Suns are looking to make significant roster changes ahead of the 2023-24 season, including potentially parting ways with both Chris Paul and Ayton. After signing a four-year, $132.93 million contract last offseason, Ayton appeared in 67 regular season games in 2022-23, averaging 18.0 points and 10.0 rebounds across 30.4 minutes. Though there have been some motor concerns with Ayton since entering the league in 2018, the 24-year-old will undoubtedly attract some suitors if put on the trading block.

  • Cleared to play Wednesday
    Zeller (foot) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: As expected, Zeller has been upgraded from probable to available for a second straight game. He's played 15 minutes over the first two games of the series, totaling four points and seven rebounds. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:49 pm
