Player Notes

  • Significant role yields little offense
    Batum provided four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Batum continues to do very little on offense despite playing meaningful minutes, highlighting the 76ers' lack of depth. Although he did manage three combined steals and blocks, the team would likely love for him to have scored more than four points. Given the 76ers have very few options when it comes to somewhat reliable producers, Batum should continue to play a significant role moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 pm
  • Disappoints again Thursday
    Harris totaled eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 win over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Harris continues to come up short for the 76ers, scoring no more than 10 points for the third straight playoff game. He is averaging just 8.3 points per game thus far, well below where he needs to be if they are to make any real noise during the postseason. Look for Harris to try and turn things around in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:36 pm
  • Goes missing in Game 3 loss
    Bogdanovic finished with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Bogdanovic was a non-factor in the loss, playing only 13 minutes. At this point, his playing time is completely reliant on whether his shot is falling, something it was not doing Thursday. New York will look to bounce back Sunday when the two teams face off once again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:33 pm
  • LeBron James tallies 26 points, nine assists
    LeBron James finished Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Nuggets with 26 points (12-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes.

    Advice: After shooting 6-of-11 from three in Denver, LeBron’s jumper betrayed him in Game 3. He finished Game 3 shooting 60% from the field overall but just 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. The Lakers have lost their last 11 games against the Nuggets, and James was on the court for ten. He’s had a good statistical series through three games, but it hasn’t mattered, as Denver has the Lakers’ number. Look for LeBron to log heavy minutes in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need a win to keep their season alive. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:18 pm
  • Anthony Davis records 33/15/3/1 line in Game 3
    Anthony Davis shot 14-of-23 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line in Thursday’s 112-105 loss to the Nuggets, accounting for 33 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 43 minutes.

    Advice: Davis did take more shots in the fourth quarter of Game 3 (three) than in Game 2 (one), but it did not matter as the Lakers suffered an 11th straight loss to the Nuggets. He has produced quality individual stat lines when playing against Nikola Jokic, but it has not impacted winning. Look for Davis to play heavy minutes in Game 4 on Saturday, as the Lakers need a win to extend their season. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the odds aren’t in their favor, given recent history.
