Player Notes

  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out Saturday vs. Magic
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is listed as out for Saturday’s Cavaliers-Magic matchup.

    Advice: Porter didn’t play in Games 1, 2, or 3 and is unlikely to be a significant part of the rotation once he’s healthy. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm
  • Returns to Game 3
    Lillard (knee) has returned to Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Lillard went straight to the locker room after suffering an apparent left knee injury with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter, but he was back on the court to start the second period. Khris Middleton is playing through an ankle sprain he suffered in Game 2 and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has yet to play this postseason, so Lillard's return is a major relief. The All-Star has scored 69 points through the first two games of the series but struggled in the second half on both matchups, which allowed Indiana to even the series with a Game 2 win Tuesday.

  • Remains out for Game 3
    Rozier (neck) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Rozier's absence streak will extend to nine games Saturday due to neck spasms. With Delon Wright (personal) questionable, Patty Mills could receive his first minutes of the series against Boston. Rozier's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wright is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics due to personal reasons.

    Advice: Wright starred off the bench during the Game 1 loss and posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. However, he finished the Game 2 win with just five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. Either way, his potential loss could be costly to a backcourt already playing without Terry Rozier (neck) and Josh Richardson (shoulder). Jimmy Butler also remains out. Rotowire.com Today, 2:34 pm
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) questionable Saturday v
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle) is listed as questionable for the Nugget’s Saturday matchup with the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson is still hobbled after tweaking his ankle on Thursday and his availability for Saturday is up in the air. His absence isn’t likely to affect the rotation much. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
  • 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
  • Goes for 22 points Thursday
    Murray contributed 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block in 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Murray didn't have his best shooting performance after needing 21 shots to score 22 points, but he compensated for the lack of efficiency with his nine assists. He's reached the 20-point mark in the first three games of the series against the Lakers, but the lack of efficiency has been a problem, as he's made just 37.7 percent of his field-goal attempts so far.

  • Nearly perfect in Game 3 victory
    Suggs provided 24 points (9-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic with an impressive double-double, but Suggs' outing can't be overlooked, as he missed just two shots from the field while also making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The Magic need Suggs to be at his best if they want to have a shot at turning things around in the series, and this was certainly a step in the right direction after he scored a combined 22 points while going 6-for-21 from the field in the first two games of this series.

  • Goes cold in Game 3 loss
    Mitchell registered 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 27 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Mitchell had scored a combined 53 points during the first two games of the series, but he was unable to keep that momentum going in Game 3. However, no Cleveland player scored more than 15 points, and Mitchell didn't see the court during most of the second half. The star guard will aim to bounce back in Game 4 of the series Saturday.
