Doncic is going through his usual pregame routine. Unless he feels soreness afterward, I would expect him to play, but that’s a guess on my part. pic.twitter.com/EPewdcnuoy – 6:01 PM

Jason Kidd on Jalen Green’s recent play: “Some call it a heater. You can see he’s very confident. He’s making it look very easy.” ICYMI, Rockets believe that “mindset,” as Royal Ivey put it, is the key to the way so much has improved. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron – 5:58 PM

#Rockets HC Ime Udoka said he agreed w/ those that say Kyrie Irving is an all-time great offensive player-“He’s the best 1-on-1 player I’ve ever coached or been around.” Added that a lot of the other current elite players that he’s been around & coached feel the same about Kyrie – 5:28 PM
