Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs will be played on Friday. Thursday night will provide plenty of action, and Friday promises to be thrilling once again as all three series move to lower seeds.
Pacers vs. Bucks started the night with Indiana and Pascal Siakam taking a 2-1 advantage against the Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo. Elsewhere in the West, the Mavericks will rely on star players Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic to try to beat the Clippers for the second straight time. In the nightcap, the Suns' back is against the wall as they try to get back to a first-round series by hosting the in-form Timberwolves.
The duo of Doncic and Irving accounted for more than 60 percent of Dallas' points in the two games against Los Angeles. How quickly Leonard gets up to speed will have a big impact on the Clippers, while James Harden (25.0 PPG) and George (22 each game) have led Los Angeles in points in the series.
Phoenix knows they're in trouble after dropping an average margin of 18.5 points in the first two games of this series. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker need to be active and get help off the bench, or the Timberwolves will get some extra rest before the next round begins.
