    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) questionable for Game 5
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the Mavericks’ preliminary injury report, but DFS players should expect to see him on the court on Thursday. He played 41 minutes in Tuesday’s Game 4 defeat and should take on a similar workload in Game 5. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:14 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 5
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota on Thursday.

      Advice: Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, but he hasn't missed time recently and has averaged 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 2.3 steals in 41.0 minutes per game over the first four games of the Western Conference Finals, including a 28-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in Tuesday's loss in Game 4. It wouldn't be surprising to see him fully available once again Thursday as the Mavericks attempt to close out the series. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Triple-double not enough in Game 4
      Doncic produced 28 points (7-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Doncic produced his second triple-double of the series Tuesday, but his impressive play was not enough to complete the sweep and secure a berth in the 2024 NBA Finals. Despite the outcome, Doncic remains an absolute stud in all fantasy formats and should remain a must-start player for the subsequent games of the series despite being regularly listed in the injury report. He's averaging 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game in these Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:06 am
       
    • Struggles from field Tuesday
      Irving accumulated 16 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Irving was on the losing end of a closeout game in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and there's no doubt this was his worst performance of the series, particularly due to his shooting woes. Despite the struggles in this one, the star floor general remains an elite offensive weapon, and he should play a prominent role for Dallas in Game 5 of the series Thursday.

    • Carries Minnesota in Game 4 victory
      Edwards posted 29 points (11-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 victory over the Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: No Timberwolves player had more points, rebounds or assists in Game 4 on Tuesday, and the star shooting guard came through when his team needed him the most. The efficiency levels shown in previous rounds aren't there yet, but Minnesota needed Edwards to get the job done Tuesday, and he did. Edwards needs to carry the momentum into Game 5, as the Timberwolves remain down 1-3 in the series but will have home-court advantage Thursday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:55 am
       
    • Kyrie Irving struggles, finishes with 16 points
      Kyrie Irving played 42 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, accounting for 16 points (6-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Throughout the postseason, Irving has made a habit of flipping the switch after halftime. He scored ten of his 16 points in the second half, but the overall inefficiency was an issue for Irving and the Mavericks. Tuesday’s loss drops his record in close-out games to 14-1, which is still remarkable. Kyrie and the Mavericks now have to head north for Game 5 on Thursday, where they’ll have another opportunity to seal their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic posts 28/15/10/1 line in Game 4 loss
      Luka Doncic shot 7-of-21 from the field and 10-of-12 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 105-100 loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 28 points with 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Doncic recorded his second triple-double of the series on Tuesday, but Game 4 was his least efficient outing. The All-NBA guard shot 33.3% from the field, his lowest percentage since Dallas’ Game 4 loss to Oklahoma City in the second round. Doncic is up to a league-high six triple-doubles this postseason, but he must produce a “cleaner” effort in Game 5 on Thursday. No team that has led a playoff series 3-0 has lost four straight, so history is in Dallas’ favor. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Anthony Edwards scores 29 points as Wolves survive
      Anthony Edwards logged 40 minutes in Tuesday’s 105-100 win over the Mavericks, tallying 29 points (11-of-25 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, nine assists, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: With Minnesota’s season on the line, Edwards was more consistently aggressive than he was in the series’ first three games. While he was responsible for six of the Timberwolves’ 14 turnovers, the approach paid dividends. Edwards finished one assist shy of a triple-double, and the series will shift to Minneapolis for Game 5 on Thursday. Minnesota still faces incredibly long odds, as no NBA team has ever erased a 3-0 series deficit. But their season hasn’t ended yet. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:15 pm
       
    • Available to play
      Doncic (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota.

      Advice: Doncic carrying questionable tags due to minor ankle and knee issues is nothing new, so he'll suit up as expected. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Doncic has scored at least 32 points in each of the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, posting one triple-double during that stretch. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:28 pm
