The Nets are a team to “keep an eye on” as a serious Dejounte Murray suitor, per @WindhorstESPN (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bri…).
Brooklyn can make salaries work by offering Spencer Dinwiddie’s expiring contract, plus draft capital. pic.twitter.com/PNJ12kgmtb3:32 PM

Myles Turner and Bennedict Mathurin were nominees for Eastern Conference Player of the Week, which was won by Miami’s Bam Adebayo.
Seems like Turner has become a regular on the list. It’s a first for Mathurin. – 3:31 PM

Bam Adebayo: Your Eastern Conference player of the week.
– There had been 54 other weeks where someone else won in the East since the last Heat selection (last was Jimmy Butler on Nov. 1, 2021)

Jaime Jaquez Jr. becomes latest Heat player to miss time with injury. Jaquez: “This is something that we have to take a little more serious and take some time to just recuperate and get myself 100 percent” miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia…3:26 PM

My take on Dejounte Murray, Nets rumors:
I’d seriously consider it if the cost is as low as one 1st-round pick and salary fillers. That’s the kind of add Brooklyn should be looking to make this season, if any.
A chance to revitalize Murray’s value. Door open to flip him later. – 2:33 PM

Knicks have played nine more road games than home games. Schedule finally turns in their favor starting today. Four-game homestand this week and seven straight games in New York. Only road game in that stretch is next week at Brooklyn. – 2:22 PM
