  • Good to go for Game 3
    Brunson (foot) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: As expected, Brunson has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with right foot soreness.

  • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) questionable Saturday
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain and left knee soreness) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 3 meeting with the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: Doncic’s minor injuries didn’t stop him from totaling 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in a Game 2 win. The Mavericks star will likely continue to power his team’s offense on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 2:43 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
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Doncic is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

    Advice: Doncic has been playing through the knee sprain throughout the postseason, but the ankle issue is new. He also smacked his face on the court during Game 2 on Thursday, but that's not mentioned in the official report. Despite all the injuries, the Mavericks were able to even the series and claim home-court advantage behind Doncic's 16-point first quarter. The superstar point guard is likely more probable than questionable for Game 3, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Prosper (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Prosper will miss his eighth straight contest Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. The rookie forward's absence won't impact Dallas' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 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
     
  • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable Saturday
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s Cavaliers-Celtics game.

    Advice: Allen is looking to return from a five-game hiatus this weekend. Cleveland’s usual starting center hasn’t played since the first round and will likely continue to be replaced by Isaac Okoro in the starting lineup if ruled out for Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 2:02 pm
