    • PJ Washington scores team-high 27 points Saturday
      PJ Washington accumulated 27 points (11-of-23 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, and five 3-pointers in 40 minutes in Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Thunder.

      Advice: Faced with defending Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Oklahoma City has not devoted as much attention to Washington. Given how well he’s played in the last two games, that could change for Game 4 on Monday. After hitting seven 3-pointers and scoring 29 points in Game 2, he made five more in Game 3 while leading the Mavericks in scoring. Washington attempted 23 shots on the afternoon, tied for the most of any player who saw action. PJ has been much better than expected, and Oklahoma City could take the approach of him regressing to the mean eventually. However, the last two games show this is a dangerous strategy. Game 4 is on Monday night in Dallas, with the Mavericks leading the series two games to one. Rotoworld Today, 3:33 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out for Game 4 Sunday
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Anunoby was not expected to be available for Game 4, so this status update is unsurprising. Precious Achiuwa started Game 3 and had issues defending Pascal Siakam. Anunoby’s absence also freed up rotation minutes for Alec Burks, who scored 14 points on Friday.

    • Ruled out for Game 4
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 4:24 pm
       
    • Out for Game 3, but with team
      Anunoby (hamstring) remains out for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, but he traveled with the Knicks to Indiana, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

      Advice: Anunoby will miss the game due to left hamstring soreness, but his presence with the team suggests the Knicks aren't preparing for him to miss extended time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Solid output in Game 2 victory
      Washington produced 29 points (11-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 119-110 victory over the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Kyrie Irving didn't have his best performance Thursday, but Washington stepped up in a game where the Mavericks needed someone to carry the offensive load alongside Luka Doncic. This was Washington's best game of the current playoff run, as it was his first double-double since April 7. Washington is averaging 13.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and he's scored in double digits in all but one of his eight appearances to date.

    • PJ Washington drains seven 3-pointers in Game 2
      P.J. Washington shot 11-of-18 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Thursday’s 119-110 win over the Thunder, scoring 29 points with 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, and seven 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: Washington fouled out with a little over two minutes remaining in Dallas’ Game 2 victory, but he did plenty of damage before that point. He matched his career-high with seven 3-pointers, stepping up offensively on a night when Kyrie Irving failed to reach double figures. Washington’s arrival from Charlotte at the trade deadline helped the Mavericks defensively, and he has also been an effective catch-and-shoot option next to Irving and Luka Doncic. The series will shift to Dallas for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon, with the Mavericks and Thunder tied at one game apiece. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:12 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out Friday vs. Pacers
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

      Advice: Anunoby’s tweaked hamstring appears to be serious and he’s been ruled out for Game 3 a day in advance. There’s no clear major beneficiary following this development. The Knicks’ normal rotation players will continue carrying an extremely heavy workload. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:17 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 3
      Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Pacers on Friday.

      Advice: This is a brutal blow to the Knicks, as it'll be tough to replace what Anunoby brings to the team. His absence should open up minutes for Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks, and guys like Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo will be asked to step it up on offense. Anunoby's next chance to play will come Sunday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:36 pm
