  • James Harden scores 33 points in Game 4 victory
    James Harden played 40 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Mavericks, amassing 33 points (12-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers.

    Advice: Harden was masterful at getting into the paint and converting during the fourth quarter, shooting 6-of-7 as the Clippers held on after blowing a 31-point lead. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) lacking a timeline for return, it will be up to The Beard and Paul George to shoulder most of the offensive workload in a series tied at two games apiece. Sunday’s performances showed they’re up to the task, as the two Clippers stars combined to score 66 of the team’s 116 points. Game 5 is on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 4 Sun.
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is available for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

    Advice: The Pacers endured a scare on Sunday afternoon, as Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report. He has since been cleared so that Indiana will roll out its usual starting lineup. Haliburton is joined by Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:36 pm
     
  • Active for Game 4
    Haliburton (back) is active for Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to bask spasms, but he's on the list of active players for Indiana. Whether he'll have any limitations due to his injury remains to be seen. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:13 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable for Game 4
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report, which is a concerning turn of events for the Pacers. With Andrew Nembhard already in the starting lineup, Ben Sheppard and T.J. McConnell would pick up additional minutes if Haliburton cannot play. The Pacers’ star point guard has not missed a game since January 28, before Buddy Hield was traded to the 76ers.

  • Dealing with back spasms
    Haliburton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue that now has his status in question. If he is unable to go, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will likely get plenty of of action at the point. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:07 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Dealing with calf strain
    Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

    Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
     
  • Probable for Monday
    Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
     
  • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Monday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Murray’s injury during Saturday’s Game 4 defeat appeared to be a tweak, he has been officially diagnosed with a strained left calf. Denver’s depth is already limited due to a lack of consistent production from the bench, so losing Murray would be a significant development. Reggie Jackson will move into the starting lineup if he cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:32 pm
