Fantasy Impact: Bogdanovic's exit leaves the Knicks even lower on depth than they had coming into Game 4. If Bogdanovic does not return, Donte DiVincenzo could pick up more minutes at small forward to help with depth for that position. It is worth monitoring Bogdanovic's status for the remainder of Game 4 and the rest of the series.

Fantasy Impact: After Jackson collided with Anthony Davis, he needed assistance going to the locker room. He was ruled questionable for the rest of the matchup, but did not return. It is worth noting that the Nuggets have a commanding 3-0 lead against the Lakers, so they may opt to be conservative and have Jackson sit for Game 4. If Jackson does not play in Game 4, expect Christian Braun and Justin Holiday to see increased minutes.
