  • 125-51-4 1st Place
    • Scores 21 points in Game 4 victory
      Irving accumulated 21 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 122-84 win over the Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Luka Doncic was the best player for the Mavericks in this Game 4 victory, but Irving posted a strong line as well. The veteran floor general reached the 20-point plateau for the second consecutive contest, and he'll need to be at his best if the Mavericks want to pull off the upset in Game 5 of the series Monday. Irving is averaging 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:14 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) a DNP-CD in Game 4 loss
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) did not play in Friday’s 122-84 loss to the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis was cleared to play after sitting out Game 3. However, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said during his pregame availability that he would only play in “very specific instances,” so the chances of KP seeing action were slim. With Game 4 getting out of hand by the end of the first quarter, there was no reason for Mazzulla to consider inserting Porzingis. Game 5 is on Monday night, with Porzingis’ availability impacting Al Horford and Xavier Tillman if he’s allowed to play. Rotoworld Friday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Kyrie Irving tallies 21 points in Game 4 blowout
      Kyrie Irving played 31 minutes in Friday’s 122-84 win over Boston, amassing 21 points (10-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Game 4 was the first time in this series that Irving has shot 50% or better from the field and made nine of his 12 2-point attempts. Outside of Game 3, when he shot 4-of-6, the 3-point accuracy has not been there for Kyrie. In Games 1, 2, and 4, he was a combined 1-of-14, well below his mark for the postseason (40.5%). Irving struggled mightily in the first two games of the NBA Finals, played in Boston. He’ll look to put forth a better effort when the series returns to Beantown for Game 5 on Monday.

    • Available to play
      Porzingis (lower leg) is available to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation, Porzingis was able to warm up without any setbacks and will play through his questionable tag Friday evening. However, coach Joe Mazulla admitted that Porzingis isn't close to 100 percent and that the Celtics will use him sparingly and only if necessary. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:12 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) available for Game 4 Fri.
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) is available for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: After injuring his left leg during the third quarter of Game 2, Porzingis sat out Wednesday’s Game 3 victory. While his return given the Celtics another option in the frontcourt, DFS players should steer clear. During his pregame availability, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said he would only use Porzingis in “very specific instances.” Mazzulla did not clarify those situations, but it does not appear that Porzingis will reach his Game 2 threshold of 20-25 minutes. Look for Al Horford to continue to play most of the minutes at center. Rotoworld Friday, 4:07 pm
       
    • Warming up Friday
      Porzingis (lower leg) was out on the court warming up ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks on Friday.

      Advice: Porzingis is still officially listed as questionable after missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While an official determination of Porzingis' status will likely be made closer to tipoff at 8:30 ET, he seems to be moving well, which bodes well for his availability moving forward in the series.

    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) questionable for Game 4
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis, who did not play in Wednesday’s Game 3 victory, did some individual work during Thursday’s practice in front of the media. He’s listed as questionable on Boston’s initial injury report for Game 4, with Al Horford and Xavier Tillman being the players most impacted by Porzingis’ availability. Horford, the starting center throughout, played 37 minutes on Wednesday, while Tillman was the only other big in the rotation. Tillman played 11 minutes, which isn’t enough time to impact DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:04 pm
       
    • Officially deemed questionable
      Porzingis (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Porzingis is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday after sitting out Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. However, Porzingis was seen going through shootaround Thursday, and it is a good sign that Boston hasn't ruled him out for the series. If Porzingis remains sidelined, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman will likely continue to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Goes through shootaround
      Porzingis (lower leg) was seen shooting around during Thursday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Celtics have yet to release an official injury report for Game 4 on Friday after Porzingis missed Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While it's still unclear if the 28-year-old big man will be able to suit up, it seems as though he will have at least a chance of playing again in the NBA Finals. If Porzingis is ultimately deemed available, he will likely continue to serve as Boston's backup center behind Al Horford. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:05 pm
