Report: Bulls 'closely monitoring' Otto Porter's hip

SF, Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are "closely monitoring" Otto Porter, according to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports.

Porter hasn't looked quite the same this season after blowing the doors off upon his trade to Chicago last season. Though he has yet to be listed on the injury report with hip problems, this could be the cause of recent load management discussions. Porter's slow start has got fantasy managers worried, and this won't help them settle down.

Jimmy Butler
SG, Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler hit 6-of-13 shots from the field and 5-of-6 shots from the line to end Saturday night's Game 3 loss to the Celtics with 17 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

This was an on-par performance from Butler, who clearly needs to crank things up a notch in Game 4 if the Heat want to secure that third win in the series. He's been a great leader for the Heat so far, so there's no doubt that he'll be able to set a context of urgency in the next one. Count on it.

Goran Dragic
PG, Miami Heat

Goran Dragic got the full-blown Celtics defensive treatment on Saturday and buckled under the pressure, shooting just 2-of-10 from the field to finish the night with 11 points, one 3-pointer, one rebound and five assists.

Dragic has been able to turn back the clock and play like he's in his prime in the playoffs, at least up until tonight's game. The Celtics' effort in slowing him down proved to be a big factor in their win. Dragic will have to find a way to shake it off and come back fresh and firing on all cylinders come Game 4.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro was a sight for sore eyes as he chipped in 22 points (8-of-18 shooting) off the bench in Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Celtics.

Herro hit four triples to go along with his three rebounds, four assists and one steal tonight. He made the most of his 36 minutes on the floor and came up big when Boston's defense was smothering Duncan Robinson, who by the way, was able to end the night with 13 points, one rebound, two assists and four treys of his own.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo was amazing in Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Celtics, putting up 27 points (10-of-14 FG, 7-of-9 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in 38 minutes.

There's little to complain about with Adebayo's performance. He played well on defense and was crashing the boards like his life depended on it. He leaned on his crazy athleticism to make it happen on the offensive end, coming up with a team-high scoring effort in the process. He's going to need a lot more help, if the Heat want to close out this series before the Celtics muster any more momentum moving forward.

Marcus Smart
PG, Boston Celtics

Marcus Smart was a model of efficient shooting for the Celtics on Saturday, making 5-of-10 shots from the field and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the line for 20 points, four rebounds and six assists.

This is another quality game from Smart, whose contributions don't always pop up on the stat sheet. He saw 36 minutes on the floor tonight, but could be on his way back to the bench in the near future, potentially being replaced by Gordon Hayward (right ankle sprain), who is still working his way back to 100 percent health.
