  • Cleared to play
    James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

    Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Won't play Sunday
    Livingston (illness) will not play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston has rarely seen the floor for the Bucks this season, as he averaged 4.3 minutes across 21 regular season appearances. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Ingram leads Pelis with 19 points in loss
    Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 19 points (7-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two triples in a 106-85 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 on Saturday.

    Advice: With Zion Williamson sidelined, the Pelicans have needed BI to put the team on his back. He simply hasn’t been able to do that. He is averaging 18.3 points per game in this series, which isn’t All-Star level production. They’re now down 3-0 in this series, and they’ll need Ingram to step up his aggressiveness in Game 4 on Monday if they want to extend this series. He made 50% of his shots in this game after shooting 50% in Game 2 as well. They simply need him to shoot more, which is something that Lu Dort hasn’t made easy. Rotoworld Today, 3:31 pm
     
  • Jalen Williams tallies 21/9/5/2 line in Game 3
    Jalen Williams posted a solid line on Saturday with 21 points (9-of-16 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and three triples against the Pelicans.

    Advice: JDub came out of the game early after getting poked in the eye, but he was able to return quickly and make a big impact on this game. Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey combined to score 66 of OKC’s 106 points in this game, and the Pelicans didn’t have an answer for the second straight game. Williams has been really solid through the first three games of his playoff career, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’ll look to keep it going in Game 4 to try and close out the series on Monday. Rotoworld Today, 3:25 pm
     
  • Josh Giddey produces 21/8/6/1 line with 4 triples
    Josh Giddey stuffed the stat sheet on Saturday and finished with 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against the Pelicans in Game 3.

    Advice: Giddey played better in Game 2 than he did in Game 1, and he was even better in this one. He produced a solid stat line, and he was a threat from beyond the arc, which has been a weakness for the team. If Giddey can consistently knock down open shots, they’ll be a difficult team to slow down during this postseason. It is unlikely that he will continue to be this productive as a scorer, but he was an important piece in their big win on Saturday. If he can have another game like this, they won’t have any issues closing this series out in Game 4 on Monday. Rotoworld Today, 3:19 pm
     
  • Probable for Sunday
    Middleton is probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Middleton is coming off a 42-point effort in the Game 3 loss on Friday, and the veteran forward has embraced a more prominent role on offense with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Middleton is averaging 26.7 points per game in the series while logging at least 35 minutes in each game, and the probable tag suggests he shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload Sunday.

  • Chris Livingston (illness) to remain out Sunday
    Chris Livingston (illness) will remain sidelined for Game 4 against Indiana on Sunday.

    Advice: Livingston’s continued absence will not impact their rotation, since he doesn’t play when healthy. Rotoworld Today, 2:50 pm
     
  • Khris Middleton (ankle) probable Sunday vs. Indy
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against the Pacers on Sunday.

    Advice: With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard listed as doubtful, Middleton will have to put the team on his back in this game. He had 42 points in Game 3, and he may have to produce similar value to give the Bucks a chance. Rotoworld Today, 2:46 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Allen (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Allen didn't play in Game 3 of the series Friday, and his status is unclear, although the questionable tag leaves the door open for a return in what might be the final game of the Suns' season. Allen is averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting a meager 20 percent from the field in his two appearances during the current series. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm
