Player Notes

  • Officially ruled out
    Livingston (illness) won't play in Friday's Game 3 against Indiana.

    Advice: Livingston has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a non-COVID illness. His next chance to suit up will be Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
  • Officially ruled out
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo was doubtful on Milwaukee's initial injury report, and he'll officially miss a sixth consecutive game as the team attempts to regain a lead in the first-round series. His next chance to suit up will be in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
  • Doesn't return to Thursday's game
    Jackson (ankle) didn't return to Thursday's Game 3 against the Lakers. He finished the game with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and an assist in seven minutes.

    Advice: Jackson appeared to be dealing with an ankle injury when heading to the locker room in the third quarter, and he didn't see the court during the final frame. Coach Michael Malone said after the game that Jackson was close to not playing in Game 3, so the coaching staff has had conversations about what to do in case he can't suit up for Saturday's Game 4. Since the Nuggets claimed a 3-0 lead in the series following Thursday's win, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team be cautious with Jackson's health. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
  • Puts up 22 points in Game 3 loss
    Reaves ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Reaves had two subpar showings in the first two games of the series, and even though he bounced back in Game 3, his efforts were not enough to lift the Lakers to victory. Reaves will aim to replicate these numbers in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need to win to avoid a first-round exit. Reaves is averaging 14.7 points per game in the series while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Today, 6:18 am
  • Massive line in Game 3 defeat
    Davis finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to Denver in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (14-23 FG, 5-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes.

    Advice: LeBron James has been the most influential all-around player for the Lakers in the series, but when it comes to putting up numbers, Davis has been leading the way. He's recorded at least 32 points with double-digit rebounds in the three games in the series so far. Davis should be in line to handle another heavy workload in Game 4 on Saturday regardless of whether he's on the injury report. Rotowire.com Today, 6:16 am
