Per @SynergySST Pelicans are NBA’s best defense against pick-and-roll including passes, 3rd best defense against isolations including passes (behind Blazers, Clippers)
LAC is top 10 in PnR efficiency, and 2nd in isos while running most isos. Asked Willie Green about star defense pic.twitter.com/2D3fbClTJV – 7:07 PM

Ndamukong Suh taking in tonight’s game as Ime Udoka’s guest. Both are from Portland, Ore. And one is roughly the most dominant college player I covered back in the day. – 6:48 PM

Luka Dončić is expected to miss Dallas’ home game tonight against Portland with the right ankle swelling that led the Mavericks to list him as questionable earlier today.

In my B/R Live stream with Bucks guard Malik Beasley, he said he turned down more money from Lakers and Mavericks to bet on himself. He’s shooting 47 percent from distance in a starting role on a minimum deal. pic.twitter.com/7M1ZkBVo4D – 5:46 PM

A young Spurs fan in Dallas was heartbroken after he watched Victor Wembanyama twist his ankle in warmups and miss the game.
Before he and his dad got home, he got a message from Wemby.
I talked to Brayden, who called Wembanyama “a generational person.”
