  • CJ McCollum produces 16/5/7/2/1 line in loss
    CJ McCollum struggled with his shot but still contributed 16 points (7-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, two triples and six turnovers against the Thunder on Saturday.

    Advice: McCollum may have produced solid value in the box score, but this wasn’t an efficient performance for him. He started 1-of-10 from the floor, and he accounted for six of the team’s 20 turnovers. New Orleans has needed more out of McCollum with Zion Williamson sidelined, but that hasn’t happened. They’ll host the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday, and McCollum will have to be much better than he was in this one if they want to avoid the sweep and keep their season alive.

  • Doubtful for Game 4
    Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers,

    Advice: A report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Friday hinted at this, but now the Bucks have officially listed Lillard as doubtful on their injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so the Bucks will need guys like Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez to step up offensively. Rotowire.com Today, 3:31 pm
     
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turns in 24/5/8/4/1 in G3
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 24 points (8-of-20 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and one triple in a 106-85 win over New Orleans in Game 3 on Saturday.

    Advice: SGA wasn’t as efficient in this game in comparison to his performances in Games 1 and 2, but he was still able to lead the team in scoring and help them take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. This was a well-rounded performance for the team, and they’ll have a chance to close out the series in Game 4 on Monday. SGA, who is a finalist for the league’s MVP award, has had a strong start to the postseason, and they’ll need him to keep it up if they want to make any real noise in the playoffs this year.

  • Questionable for Game 4
    Doncic is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.

    Advice: Doncic has been impressive for the Mavericks during the first-round matchup against the Clippers, averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game through the first three contests. Even though it's not surprising to see Doncic dealing with soreness given his workload throughout the season, the issue shouldn't keep him away from playing -- and handling his usage rage -- in Sunday's contest.

  • Luka Doncic (knee) questionable for Game 4
    Luka Doncic (right knee soreness) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Clippers on Sunday.

  • Jalen Suggs provides 12/2/3 line with 7 turnovers
    Jalen Suggs provided a solid line on Saturday with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two triples and seven turnovers against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs and Paolo Banchero struggled to take care of the ball in the first half and entered the break with a combined nine turnovers, with Suggs accounting for five of them. They cleaned things up in the second half, which helped them outscore the Cavs 61-29 over the final two quarters. Suggs had a big performance in Game 3, and while he wasn’t able to replicate that in Game 4, he was able to turn in a solid stat line, despite a rough first half. If they can take care of the ball in Game 5 on Tuesday, they may be able to steal one on the road. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm
     
  • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half
    Donovan Mitchell struggled in the second half but still finished with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), one rebound, six assists, three steals, one triple and six turnovers against Orlando in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland.
