Player Notes

  • Daniel Gafford (back) active Friday vs. Clippers
    Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers.

    Advice: Gafford is good to go despite missing Thursday’s practice. The Mavericks big man has struggled to produce against the Clippers so far and could take a back seat to Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber if he struggles. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
  • Kevin Love (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
    Kevin Love (left upper arm contusion) is probable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics game.

    Advice: Love logged just six minutes in Miami’s Game 2 win and appears poised to continue coming off the bench moving forward. He was held scoreless in his last outing. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
  • Luke Kornet (calf) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Luke Kornet (left calf strain) is probable for Saturday’s Celtics-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Kornet didn’t play in Games 1 or 2 but appears poised to make his 2024 playoff debut this weekend. It’s unlikely that he’ll play a ton behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, though. Rotoworld Today, 2:56 pm
  • Good to go Saturday
    Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available and serve as one of New Orleans' primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 pm
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) officially out Friday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Pacers.

    Advice: Giannis will miss a third straight playoff game as the series with the Pacers shifts to Indiana. Bobby Portis usually balls out when Giannis is sidelined, and Portis will be expected to shoulder a heftier load once again. Rotoworld Today, 10:26 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
  • Sniffs triple-double in Game 3
    Jokic accumulated 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: It seemed effortless at times, but Jokic once again finished just shy of posting a triple-double, despite dealing with the imposing threat of Anthony Davis on both ends of the court throughout the entire contest. Jokic has posted seven straight double-doubles dating back to the regular season, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game so far in the series against the Lakers.

  • Decent in Game 3 blowout loss
    Allen ended with 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Allen was one of two Cavaliers who reached the 15-point plateau in this blowout loss, and although this ended up being one of Cleveland's worst performances of the campaign, Allen found a way to deliver a decent stat line. The big man will aim to continue making a two-way impact in Game 4 of the series Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:58 am
  • Limited by foul trouble
    Hartenstein closed Thursday's 125-114 loss to Philadelphia in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

    Advice: Hartenstein picked up five fouls in the loss, limiting him to just 26 minutes. Mitchell Robinson went down with another ankle injury, meaning the Knicks are going to need Hartenstein to play the bulk of the center minutes. While this performance was modest, to say the least, Hartenstein has been a factor in the series to this point, continuing his breakout season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:31 pm
