Player Notes

  • Brandon Ingram scores 18 points in loss to Thunder
    Brandon Ingram scored 18 points (5-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs) with four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in the Pelicans’ Wednesday loss to the Thunder.

    Advice: Ingram didn’t post a particularly strong stat line but was efficient. He and Herb Jones only trailed Jonas Valanciunas in points among Pelicans players. He’ll need to be much more aggressive on offense at home to keep New Orleans alive in this series. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:24 pm
  • Chet Holmgren scores 26 points vs. Pelicans
    Chet Holmgren scored 26 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) in the Thunder’s win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. He totaled seven rebounds, an assist, two blocks, and three 3-pointers as well.

    Advice: Holmgren improved upon his previous outing in his second-ever playoff game. He led all players in blocks and only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored more points in the contest. The rookie’s performance can help him carry confidence into his first road playoff game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:15 pm
  • Returns from locker room
    Nance (leg) has rejoined the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nance went back to the locker room late in the third quarter but returned to the Pelicans bench to open up the fourth quarter. He should be considered good to go for the final period. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:42 pm
  • Jayson Tatum scores 28 points in loss to Heat
    Jayson Tatum scored 28 points (10-of-20 FGs) and made six of his eight attempts from the charity stripe in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He also amassed eight rebounds, three assists, a block, and two made 3-pointers

    Advice: Tatum couldn’t quite match his production from Game 1 but was second among all players with 28 points while his rebounding and assist numbers dropped from his previous outing. Poor shooting from the supporting cast and lackluster defense led to Boston’s downfall despite efficient nights from Tatum and Brown. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:56 pm
  • Nikola Jovic stuffs stat sheet vs. Celtics in win
    Nikola Jovic amassed 11 points (4-of-5 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists, three steals, a block, and three 3-pointers in the Heat’s Wednesday win against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jovic thrived in his best postseason performance yet. He was second among Heat players in rebounds and assists while pacing his team in steals and blocks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:43 pm
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Lakers-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Reddish is still battling back from an ankle sprain and is set to miss a sixth consecutive game. Taurean Prince will likely continue to dominate the Lakers’ reserve wing minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:39 pm

  • LeBron James, Anthony Davis probable for Thursday
    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Anthony Davis (low back soreness) are probable for the Lakers’ Game 3 matchup against the Nuggets on Thursday.

    Advice: Both the Lakers’ stars are likely to be a go for Game 3 of their first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday. The duo will look to bounce back at home after a pair of road losses. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:36 pm
  • Christian Wood (knee) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Christian Wood (left knee surgery) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Lakers-Nuggets matchup.

    Advice: Wood hoped to return to the hardwood for Game 3 but needs more time to recover from the knee surgery he underwent. Jaxson Hayes will continue backing up Anthony Davis at center in the meantime. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:29 pm
  • Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Jarred Vanderbilt (right mid-foot sprain) has been ruled out for the Lakers’ Thursday matchup against the Nuggets

    Advice: Vanderbilt was aiming for a 2024 playoff debut in Game 3 but isn’t quite ready to make a return. He’ll get another chance to suit up for Game 4 on Saturday and Rui Hachimura will continue to carry a heavy workload during his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:26 pm
