Dennis Schroder scores 22 points for the second consecutive game

Dennis Schroder
PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Dennis Schroder stayed hot on Monday against the Rockets, scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting with five rebounds, seven assists, a steal and four 3-pointers.

Schroder shredded James Harden tonight which seems to be a regular occurrence. He's going to have the green light this season with the Thunder needing someone to score the ball so he makes for a solid play for the rest of the season.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James (groin soreness) and Danny Green (left finger volar plate injury), both listed as probable, are in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.

The Lakers have been listing James as probable all postseason and he's never appeared to be in any danger of missing time. The thorough nature of the team's injury reporting is appreciated, if nothing else. We would guess that this means Alex Caruso (probable, sore right wrist) is also good while Dion Waiters (doubtful, groin strain) will remain out.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard will move into the starting lineup for Game 4 against the Nuggets on Thursday.

JaVale McGee will move to the bench and could fall out of the rotation entirely, as he did when he was replaced in the starting lineup against Houston. Howard's played the better defense against Nikola Jokic through the first three games, and has done plenty of chirping as well. This was a move that the Lakers discussed prior to Game 2 but they ultimately kept the status quo. After one loss, they're making the change.

Luke Kennard
SG, Detroit Pistons

Luke Kennard says that he's been playing a lot of point guard in the Pistons' bubble camp.

This isn't super surprising considering that Dwane Casey hinted at Kennard handling some PG work in the lead up to last season. With Reggie Jackson gone, the Pistons only have Derrick Rose and some rising sophomores as the PG types on the current roster. Rose definitely operates more as a scorer than an initiator, and if anyone is going to challenge Kennard for more traditional distribution work it might be Bruce Brown. Brown is the player who did a lot of the ball-handling last year and seemed to do well with the opportunity. It's also possible that the Pistons roll with Rose, Brown and Kennard all running the offense at times and eschew a traditional point guard completely. We're a long ways off from next season but Kennard has middle-round potential, so his deployment is something to watch out for.

Klay Thompson
SG, Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson and Eric Paschall missed the second day of the Warriors' minicamp on Thursday as they continue to go through league quarantine protocols.

It is unclear when the two players will be able to attend the Warriors' bubble so stay tuned with us for updates as we should learn more in the coming days.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's potential series-clinching Game 5 vs. the Celtics after appearing to injure his wrist during Wednesday's game.

News was pointing in the right direction as Adebayo was at the Heat's optional practice earlier in the day. Expect the Heat to have their full complement of players on Friday as no rotation players are on the injury report. Only Gabe Vincent (right knee soreness) is questionable while Chris Silva (groin) remains sidelined.
