Ellis scored 18 points in a loss to the Lakers on Saturday. Advice: Ellis had scored 20 or more points in six of his last seven games and 30 or more in three straight but never found a groove in shooting 8-for-19. He was averaging 37.7 points over his previous three outings. |

Ellis played much of the second half of Tuesday night's win over Dallas with severe cramping in his calves, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Recommendation: With so many injuries, the Warriors played just six guys in the win, which meant a lot of run for Ellis. During timeouts, the training staff massaged his muscles. "I just sucked it up," Ellis said. "I know we needed this win really badly, and it starts with me. I wanted to be strong for my guys, and I didn't want to leave them out there stranded." |
