All five starters have scored as Mavericks have jumped ahead 18-11 five minutes into the game against the Bucks. Late start time seems to be agreeing with Mavs, who are 7-of-11 from the field. – 10:20 PM

I’m not in Dallas, and I will not be in Houston, so I will tweet sparsely, perhaps sarcastically, or in GIFs.

It’s a bit tamed from last season without JaVale McGee, but there are similarities.

Killian gets Detroit on the board with a pullup middy with 10:17 on the clock. Got hit with his second foul on the other end for defending Ja too closely before Ja rose for a shot, not sure about that one. Slow start for the Pistons – 8:14 PM

Pacers leading the shorthanded Wizards 69-65 at half. Hield already with three 3s and 19pts, Mathurin has 14 off the bench.
Porzingis, who played for Carlisle in Dallas, has been perfect. 9 for 9 with 20pts.
Both teams shooting better than 64%!!! – 8:03 PM

This is like a six out of 10 on the regular-season must-win scale for the Lakers. They can still escape this road trip at .500 with a win Sunday over the Pistons, but it would be really, really nice to prove the Bucks win wasn’t a fluke. – 7:44 PM

Reggie Jackson didn’t miss a game due to injury last year.
His first DNP last season came December 22 due to health and safety protocols (4 games).
Jackson missed only 3 games after protocols, all due to rest on second night of b2b (3/14 at CLE, 4/1 at MIL, 4/10 vs OKC). – 4:41 PM
