  • Back to bench
    Anderson will return to a reserve role in Friday's Game 3 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: No surprise here, as Rudy Gobert (personal) is back with the team. As a result, Anderson should take on his usual role providing depth at forward. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) available Friday
    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left ankle sprain) is available for Friday’s Game 3 against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope struggled in the first two games, both Denver losses, as he has not been at full strength health-wise. In addition to needing to knock down open shots, the Nuggets are asking KCP to take on the difficult task of defending Anthony Edwards. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go Friday
    Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) is good to go for Friday's Game 3 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope walked away from Game 2 with a mild abdomen injury, but he'll power through it in Game 3 with no word of any restrictions. Jamal Murray (calf) and Reggie Jackson (calf) will also play through their questionable tags. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Woj: OG Anunoby could also miss Game 4 Sunday
    According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is not expected to be available for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Anunoby injured his hamstring during the third quarter of Wednesday’s Game 2 victory. While it has been reported that he will also miss the second of New York’s two games in Indianapolis, there’s a possibility that OG will be sidelined beyond that. Precious Achiuwa started Friday’s Game 3, and Anunoby’s absence also frees up additional minutes for Miles McBride. Rotoworld Today, 4:24 pm
     
  • Travels with team
    Anunoby (hamstring) traveled with the Knicks to Indiana ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Advice: Anunoby has already been ruled out for Game 3 due to left hamstring soreness. However, the 25-year-old forward's presence with the team suggests his injury won't sideline him for a significant period of time. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm
     
  • Dean Wade (knee) questionable Saturday vs. Celitcs
    Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

    Advice: Wade hasn’t played since the regular season so it’s unlikely that he’ll play a significant role if he’s cleared to play. He could cut into some of Tristan Thompson’s reserve minutes if made active, though. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wade (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wade hasn't played since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. If Wade is upgraded to available, it remains to be seen how he will be featured in Cleveland's playoff rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
     
  • Scores 20 points in Game 2 defeat
    Williams closed with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Williams was the Thunder's second-best scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but his solid two-way contributions were not enough to lift Oklahoma City to a 2-0 series lead. Williams has been outstanding in the playoffs and has confirmed the improvements he evidenced during the regular season. Through six postseason appearances, he's averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:28 am
     
  • Struggles badly once again
    Giddey closed Thursday's 119-110 loss to the Mavericks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 11 minutes.

    Advice: Giddey's minutes continue to decrease with each passing game, and it wouldn't be surprising if he moves to a bench role ahead of Game 3 given how much he's struggled on both ends of the court. He delivered good numbers against the Pelicans, but in the two outings against Dallas, he's averaging 5.0 points while shooting 40 percent from the floor across 14 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 8:26 am
