  • 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 59 minutes ago

  • 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
     
  • 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
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter will miss his 10th straight game Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 due to a right ankle injury. It appears unlikely he will suit up this postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 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 17 points off bench Thursday
    Hardaway posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 win over Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Hardaway stepped his game up off the bench and provided a scoring boost to the second unit, and his contributions proved to be much-needed as the Mavericks evened the series with a huge road win. Hardaway can go hot or cold in any given game, but he should remain an important cog of the Mavericks' rotation during this playoff run. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 am
