SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Dion Waiters (sore left groin) has once again been listed as doubtful for Thursday.

The same situation transpired prior to Game 3, and eventually resulted in a DNP. He as fallen out of the rotation in LA and whether or not he suits up for Game 4 will not be a factor.

Devonte' Graham
PG, Charlotte Hornets

Fixing Devonte’ Graham’s mid-range game is a big part of this offseason, as the Hornets begin two weeks of group practice at Spectrum Center on Monday.

Opponents constantly chased Graham off the 3-point line last year, forcing him to make decisions and shots in the mid-range where his shooting efficiency plummeted, making just 27% of his attempts 3-to-10 feet from the basket. James Borrego has identified the issue and Graham will be working on his mid-range shot, the floater and all the way to the rim moves in the upcoming weeks. This is great news for one of the young stars of the league who looks poised to become even better next year.

Dragan Bender
PF, International

Dragan Bender is returning to Israel as he has agreed to a contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The former first round pick spent the past four seasons in the NBA with the Suns, the Warriors and the Bucks appearing in 187 games. He is expected to replace Quincy Acy and his deal includes an option for the entire year after a period of three months. Bender will likely explore his NBA options before committing to a full season but this is a great move for him joining one of the top teams in the EuroLeague.

Rajon Rondo
PG, Los Angeles Lakers

Rajon Rondo handed out eight assists to with his nine points on 4-of-10 shooting on Tuesday as the Lakers bowed to the Nuggets in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Rondo added two boards and three steals to the box but also committed four turnovers and was called for four fouls in this one. His impact as a playmaker off the bench has been big for the Lakers, but they're going to need him to dig deep and come up with a bit more, especially when the Nuggets are taking their game into the stratosphere.

Anthony Davis
PF-C, Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis didn't have a game-winning 3-pointer on Tuesday's Game 3 loss, but still managed to do some solid damage on the scoreboard with 27 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field and 9-of-10 shooting at the line.

AD was light with his work on the glass tonight, mustering just two rebounds. He added one assist and one steal while also missing all four shot attempts from downtown. It wasn't his best performance and, yes, we've seen better, but AD and LeBron James need to get more and better support from the Laker role-players if they're going to eliminate the Nuggets in the WCF.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James (sore right groin) triple-doubled in Tuesday's Game 3 loss to the Nuggets, tallying 30 points on 14-of-23 shooting, adding 10 rebounds, 11 assists, one 3-pointer, two steals and two blocks for an overall well-rounded performance.

Tonight was an example of why James, alone, is not enough for the Lakers to count on. The Nuggets simply have too many weapons that can offset James' production. From a stats perspective, there's nothing to scoff at in James' line. He did it on both ends, but simply lacked the support he needed to secure the win. The good news is that his performance tonight shows that the right groin issue is more of a non-factor at this point.
