  • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
    Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

    Advice: Injured during Game 1, Anderson was a DNP-CD for Game 2 and only played eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3. If he remains limited, look for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to continue to play extended minutes off the bench. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Anderson is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns due to a right hip injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson was questionable before Game 3 on Friday, and even though he played, he only logged eight minutes off the bench. A similar workload might be expected for Sunday's contest, meaning his fantasy upside will be almost minimal. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • LeBron James (ankle) available Saturday vs. Denver
    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

    Advice: James was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He will take on his usual responsibilities as the Lakers look to extend their season. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared to play
    James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

    Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Anthony Davis (wrist) available to play in Game 4
    Anthony Davis (left wrist sprain) will play in Game 4 against Denver on Saturday.

    Advice: Unsurprisingly, Davis will be available to play in this game. He’ll need to have a big night to keep the series and their season alive for at least one more game. Rotoworld Today, 3:59 pm
     
  • Will play Saturday
    Wood (knee) will be available for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Wood will finally return after a prolonged absence, as he hasn't stepped on the court since Feb. 14. He's expected to have a role off the bench and will compete for frontcourt minutes with Jaxson Hayes, though by all accounts, his role will be minimal Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:56 pm
     
  • Christian Wood (knee) will play in Game 4 vs. DEN
    Christian Wood (left knee surgery) will make his return to lineup for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Saturday.

    Advice: Wood will be available to play for the first time since before the All-Star break. However, Jaxson Hayes wasn’t in the rotation in Game 3, and they may not want to include Wood in their rotation in an elimination game. He will be available if needed, but he may not see the floor.

  • Will play in Game 4
    Davis (wrist) will play in Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Davis popped up as questionable on the injury report with a left wrist sprain after previously battling a back injury and some soreness in both heels. But with Los Angeles' season on the line, Davis will continue to push through his ailments. Rotowire.com Today, 3:55 pm
     
  • Larry Nance chips in 9/13/5/2 line off bench
    Larry Nance provided a boost off the bench with nine points (3-of-6 FGs), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one triple in Game 3 against the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: Jonas Valanciunas only logged 12 minutes as the starting center in this game as Willie Green opted to roll with Larry Nance in a smaller lineup. Nance ended up having an excellent performance, though it didn’t end up having much of an impact on the scoreboard. JV played 29 minutes in Game 1 and 23 minutes in Game 2, so we’ll see if Green continues to use Nance heavily in Game 4. Nance isn’t much of a fantasy contributor, but he is a really solid depth piece for the Pelicans. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 pm
