Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves posted 17 points, nine assists, and three rebounds in Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 27-year-old logged 39 minutes but had another uneven shooting night, going 5-for-13 from the field, 1-for-5 from three-point range, and committing five turnovers. Reaves has now scored eight, 31, and 17 points through three games in the series, with Oklahoma City taking a 3-0 lead after outscoring Los Angeles 74-49 in the second half. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) still sidelined, Reaves remains locked into heavy usage, even if the efficiency has been shaky.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James recorded 19 points (7-for-19 FG, 2-for-6 3Pt, 3-for-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The four-time MVP has not asserted himself offensively against the defending champions, and the continued absence of Luka Doncic (hamstring) leaves Los Angeles with little margin for error. "I'm not angry or disappointed," James said postgame. "We've still got life... We've got to be much better on Monday." A loss in Game 4 would mark the fourth postseason sweep of James' career.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren finished Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers with 18 points (9-for-14 FG, 0-for-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, and one block in 31 minutes. The 2026 All-Star was efficient inside the arc but went cold from deep on a night Ajay Mitchell had career playoff highs of 24 points and 10 assists while filling in for the injured Jalen Williams (hamstring). With Oklahoma City now 7-0 in the postseason, Holmgren can close out the Lakers as soon as Monday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell delivered a career playoff night in Saturday's 131-108 Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 24 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, and three steals across 30 minutes. The 23-year-old was sharp from all over the floor, shooting 10-for-17 from the field, 2-for-4 from three-point range, and 2-for-3 at the foul line. Mitchell has taken full advantage of his expanded postseason role, and this double-double was another reminder that his fantasy value can hold as long as Oklahoma City keeps leaning on him for creation.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded 21 points and five rebounds in 38 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 15th-year veteran briefly put Detroit ahead 101-100 with a three-pointer at the 4:57 mark, only for Cleveland to close on a 16-8 run and snap the Pistons' five-game playoff win streak. Harris finished 7-for-14 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and a perfect 5-for-5 at the line. He has now scored 20 or more in eight consecutive playoff games after averaging just 13.3 points during the regular season, a contract-year leap that's kept Detroit ahead 2-1 in the series with Game 4 in Cleveland on Monday.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley recorded 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in Saturday's 116-109 Game 3 win over the Detroit Pistons. The fifth-year big man shot 4-for-6 from the field but went 0-for-2 from deep and just 5-for-10 at the line, keeping this from being a sharper fantasy line. Still, Mobley has now blocked at least two shots in three straight games and is averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals through the first three games of the series.

Pistons' G Cade Cunningham recorded a triple-double, finishing with 27 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in a 109-116 loss to Cleveland on Saturday, May. 9.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson produced a great all-around performance in Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished with 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, five steals, and one block. Robinson remained hot from downtown, going 4-for-7, and finished 5-for-9 overall from the field. With three games played, Robinson has already made 14 triples in this series. Recently, he has also become a defensive pest, snagging 3.25 steals per game over his last four appearances. This two-way version of Robinson is a high-impact performer and should continue to see heavy minutes against Cleveland.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham led his team in scoring (27), rebounding (10), and assists (10) in Saturday's Game 3 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording his second career postseason triple-double. He almost had an unwanted quadruple-double, finishing with eight turnovers. Cunningham committed several costly turnovers late in the game. Handling the ball has been an issue for Cunningham throughout these playoffs, as he has recorded fewer than four turnovers just once in 10 outings. Against Cleveland, the Pistons' superstar has also faced some scoring difficulties. He was only 10-for-27 from the field in Saturday's defeat, going 2-for-6 from downtown. The 2026 playoffs have gone well for Cunningham, but he could be an even bigger threat on the court with improved efficiency and ball-handling.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell scored a game-high 35 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the team defeated the Detroit Pistons 116-109 in Game 3 on Saturday. This was one of Mitchell's best postseason games of the year, as he added four assists in 38 minutes, going 13-for-24 from the field. He had a 2-for-8 record from deep and went 7-for-8 at the charity stripe. Mitchell is looking sharp, which is great news for the Cavaliers, who cut the series deficit to 2-1 on Saturday. The seven-time All-Star will have a chance to register his third consecutive 30-point outing in Monday's Game 4.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden scored seven points in the final 1:29 of action in Saturday's Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons, helping his team to a 116-109 win. The former MVP was quiet for most of the game but made up for it with key baskets down the stretch. He had 19 points overall, finishing 8-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-7 from behind the arc. Harden grabbed two rebounds, dished out seven assists, and picked up one steal. With this effort, he became only the fourth player in NBA playoff history to record at least 4,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists. Throughout the postseason, Harden's performance has been inconsistent, but he will now carry positive momentum into Monday's Game 4.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 2019 NBA champion injured his right hamstring late in Game 2 and missed Friday's Game 3 of the series. Miles McBride got a chance to start Friday, making the biggest impact on the defensive end with two blocks. On offense, he was limited to three points and two assists due to a 1-for-6 effort from the field. Landry Shamet was another player to benefit from Anunoby's absence and was a lot busier than McBride. In 26 minutes off the bench, Shamet tallied 15 points, three rebounds, and one steal. He finished as New York's third-highest scorer, behind Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (finger) will suit up for Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. The 27-year-old suffered a nasty finger injury in the series opener but sat out only one game. Vanderbilt will bolster the Lakers' frontcourt depth, but it would be surprising to see him play a major role. So far in the playoffs, Vanderbilt has averaged 3.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in 12.0 minutes per game. He has been held to two or fewer points in three of six appearances.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip) has been tagged as probable for Game 4 against the New York Knicks on Sunday. Philadelphia will fight to stay alive in the series and is expected to have Embiid available. In Game 2, Embiid returned to the lineup from a one-game absence, notching 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 35 minutes. After a strong effort in Round 1, Embiid's production has been modest against the Knicks, with health issues once again affecting him at the most crucial stage of the season.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards finished with 32 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and one block in Friday's 115-108 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3. The former No. 1 pick shot 12-for-26 from the field, 3-for-9 from three-point range, and 5-for-6 at the line across 41 minutes. Edwards carried Minnesota for long stretches, but San Antonio held him to five points in the fourth quarter as the Spurs moved ahead 2-1 in the series. His workload remains massive heading into Sunday's Game 4 in Minnesota.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama poured in 39 points, 15 rebounds, one assist, five blocks, and one steal in Friday's 115-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3. The French superstar shot 13-for-18 from the field, 3-for-5 from three-point range, and 10-for-12 at the line across 37 minutes. San Antonio now leads the series 2-1, and Wembanyama became the fourth player in NBA history with at least 35 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks in a playoff game, joining Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges contributed 23 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Villanova product hit two three-pointers and finished 8-for-14 from the field, going a perfect 5-for-5 at the free-throw line. Bridges and Josh Hart made consecutive baskets that pushed the lead to 92-84 in the fourth quarter, helping close out Philadelphia on the road. He has turned his postseason around after averaging only 7.2 points across his first five postseason performances, and four straight productive outings have shifted the conversation around his Knicks tenure.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. recorded 22 points, eight rebounds, and one assist in Friday's 108-94 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 3. The 30-year-old shot 7-for-16 from the field, 2-for-5 from three-point range, and 6-for-6 at the foul line while logging 36 minutes. Oubre led Philadelphia in scoring on a night when Joel Embiid returned but finished with 18 points, and Paul George went scoreless after the first quarter. He has scored 19 and 22 points in the last two games, keeping his offensive role useful as the Sixers face elimination Sunday.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson recorded 33 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The two-time All-NBA guard shook off a 2-for-8 start to finish 11-for-22 from the field, 3-for-8 from three-point range, and 8-for-9 at the free-throw line. Brunson buried a three from the top of the arc during a fourth-quarter 9-0 Knicks run that effectively closed the game. "I'm Linus. Jalen's my blanket," head coach Mike Brown said postgame. New York now sits one win from a second straight conference finals appearance after its sixth straight postseason victory.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 108-94 Game 3 loss to the New York Knicks. Returning from a one-game absence due to a hip injury, the seven-time All-Star went 7-for-17 from the field, 0-for-4 from three-point range, and 4-for-6 at the free-throw line. Karl-Anthony Towns and Embiid were physical from the opening tip, and the Sixers big man couldn't get into rhythm against New York's frontcourt. Philadelphia now faces a 3-0 series deficit with Game 4 set for Sunday, and Embiid will need a much sharper effort to keep the series alive.
