Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Game 4
Wembanyama (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 in Portland.
Wembanyama sat out Friday's Game 3 win after suffering a concussion in Game 2, but there's a chance he will get back out there Sunday. If Wembanyama is cleared to play, Luke Kornet would likely head back to the second unit.

Spurs' Jordan McLaughlin: Iffy for Sunday
McLaughlin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Trail Blazers.
McLaughlin has missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain but has a chance to return Sunday. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor even if he's cleared to play.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Leaves for locker room
Brunson exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Saturday's Game 4 against the Hawks due to an apparent left ankle injury, Vincent Goodwill of ESPN.com reports.
Brunson checked out with 10:29 remaining in the third quarter and can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If the star point guard is unable to return, Miles McBride and Jose Alvarado will likely help pick up the slack.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Will play in Game 4
Gordon (calf) will play in Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Gordon will shed his questionable tag and return to action after missing Thursday's Game 3 loss due to left calf tightness. The veteran forward has averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.0 minutes per contest over two first-round appearances.

Suns' Jalen Green: Scores 26 points on 19 shots
Green totaled 26 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green has been struggling with his shot in this first-round series, converting just 39 percent of his field-goal attempts. The counting stats have been decent, but he'll need to be more efficient to help the Suns avoid elimination in Game 4 on Monday.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Nets team-high 33 points in loss
Brooks ended Saturday's 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes.
Brooks has now dropped 30-plus points in back-to-back games, but the Suns still haven't been able to earn a victory in this first-round series against the defending champs. Collin Gillespie pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds to go with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in the loss.

Devin Booker SG | PHO
Suns' Devin Booker: Struggles with shot in loss
Booker closed with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 39 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Booker briefly exited Saturday's game after tweaking his ankle when he got tripped up by Luguentz Dort, but he returned a few minutes later and didn't appear any worse for wear. He still struggled to find his shot with Dort draped all over him, and he'll need to be better if the Suns hope to avoid a four-game sweep in Monday's Game 4.

Chet Holmgren PF | OKC
Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Collects three stocks in win
Holmgren accumulated 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Holmgren's only miss came from three-point territory, and he again did an excellent job of locking down the paint for Oklahoma City. Through the first three games of this series, Holmgren has racked up a total of eight swats.

Ajay Mitchell SG | OKC
Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Needs 20 shots to score 15 points
Mitchell notched 15 points (5-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 victory over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Mitchell got the start with Jalen Williams (hamstring) unavailable, and he led the team in shot attempts. However, he converted only five of his 20 field-goal tries, so it'll be interesting to see if he sticks as a starter for Game 4 on Monday. Cason Wallace finished with six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, two steals and one block over 26 minutes.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander PG | OKC
Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Drops in 42 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's 121-109 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 42 points (15-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
Gilgeous-Alexander got whatever he wanted, slicing through the Suns' defense with ease and opening the game with nine straight makes. He didn't miss his first shot until midway through the third quarter and finished with a new playoff career-high in points. The Thunder will be looking to end the Suns' season in Phoenix on Monday.
