Somber day for the Mavericks’ organization as Dereck Lively II’s mother, Kathy Drysdale, passes away after battling cancer for more than a decade. Heartbreaking.

Wiseman already has three blocks through five minutes.
Detroit hadn’t had a block from the center spot — either starter or backup — in the previous three games. – 8:51 PM

Btw: In pregame, Pop said Spurs are treating Sunday’s 2:30 pm start vs. Detroit as a de facto back-to-back. He could not immediately commit to Wemby playing in the finale.
Said Vic’s minutes tonight will factor into the calculation. Something to keep an eye on, perhaps. – 8:38 PM

Funny enough, there’s a scenario where Detroit doesn’t solely own the worst record in the NBA this year.
Win their last two, have the Wizards lose their last two. Both are at 15. – 8:38 PM

Per our interview with JKidd. Luka and Kyrie are done for the rest of regular season. As a result, they join Curry and Durant in 18 &19, and Harden and Westbrook in 2020 as the only pairs to avg 25 pts, 5 rebs and 5 assists – 7:33 PM

Not long ago, Dereck Lively posted this on IG. In pregame availability, Jason Kidd addressed Kathy Drysdale’s passing and called her “an incredible woman.” He added Lively was at shootaround today to talk w/ his teammates about his mother’s declining health.

Williams on no blocked shots from neither Duren or Wiseman over last few games: “for sure (you have concerns). It’s not for lack of effort. Sometimes you can’t get to the ball.
“…(Shots are further away). But we also just haven’t done it.” – 7:07 PM

The expectation, I’m told, is that Luka Dončić will join Kyrie Irving in missing Dallas’ final regular-season home game tonight against Detroit. Irving, who has played 31 games in a row, has already been officially ruled out.

Tea leaves I’m seeing indicate no Doncic tonight, but that’s unconfirmed. Don’t tear up your ticket or text your bookie until we hear something official at around 5:45.
Regardless, I see zero upside to Doncic playing. – 6:14 PM

Luka may not win MVP, and I can see why those who vote for Jokic would do so. But the explanations provided amid disproved narratives for not voting for Luka are born out of utter ignorance. – 2:43 PM
