Jalen Brunson not being an All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference is a damn tragedy! I can’t wait until tomorrow when I in front of that camera on NBA Today! That’s some BS! Carry the hell on… – 7:25 PM

Fans had Curry as a starter over SGA, but players had Curry third, and the media had him fourth (also behind Anthony Edwards). – 7:15 PM
Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Damian Lillard over Jalen Brunson is a crime. – 7:15 PM

Official: Nikola Jokic named an All-Star Game starter. – 7:11 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Jalen Brunson finished second in media voting for All-Star starters, but ultimately he didn’t get the starting spot because he was way behind in the fan voting — ironic, given the team Brunson plays for and how active its fan base is. – 7:10 PM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
EASTERN CONFERENCE ALL-STAR STARTERS:
G. Tyrese Haliburton
G. Damian Lillard
F. Giannis Antetokounmpo
F. Joel Embiid
F. Jayson Tatum
Lillard beats out Trae Young (fan second place) and Jalen Brunson (media second place) for the second starting spot. – 7:10 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard named Eastern Conference All-Star starters. Knicks G Jalen Brunson snubbed but can still be voted in by coaches as All-Star reserve. Brunson averaging 33.8 PPG over last 5 games. Knicks have 27-17 record so far this season. – 7:09 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Jalen Brunson not a starter for the East All-Stars. Haliburton was a sure thing, little surprised that Lillard gets the second spot. – 7:08 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard are starting guards for the Eastern Conference All Star team. Knicks’ Jalen Brunson will have to get in as a reserve. Reserves are voted on by NBA head coaches. – 7:08 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jalen Brunson is NOT an Eastern Conference All-Star starter.
Guard spots go to Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard. – 7:07 PM

In minutes when Brunson and Randle are on the floor without Mitch Robinson or Isaiah Hartenstein, the Knicks have a 124.5 Offensive Rating (good!) and a 128.4 Defensive Rating (bad!) this season.
Denver’s gotta punish them inside. OG Anunoby will guard Murray AND Jokic tonight. – 6:43 PM

The Suns toughest remaining 4-game stretch comes against four SNR Top-10 teams and includes an always challenging trip up to Denver. pic.twitter.com/N6m081Fxwe6:41 PM

Todd Whitehead @CrumpledJumper
The Blazers have had the 5th toughest schedule so far this season but somehow, it’s only going to get worse 😩 they have the rare Denver road double (at altitude!) looming, a back-to-back against Philly, and the pleasure of hosting the rejuvenated Bucks. Good luck! pic.twitter.com/8KuKMfGi296:27 PM

“Hey Jericho, welcome back to the rotation – now go guard that Serbian Jokic guy.” – 6:00 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
‘It’s pain tolerance (right now). When he’s ready to go, he’s ready to go,’ Tom Thibodeau says of Isaiah Hartenstein. Hartenstein will miss his second straight game tonight with left Achilles ailment. Hartenstein remains day-to-day. He dealt with a left Achilles ailment last year – 5:52 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Isaiah Hartenstein will miss tonight’s game against the Nuggets for the Knicks. He’s now missed two straight with a foot issue. Jericho Sims will likely start again against Nikola Jokic. – 5:49 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Isaiah Hartenstein is out tonight, Tom Thibodeau says. Second straight game he’s missed with the Achilles injury. – 5:48 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Hartenstein is out again. – 5:48 PM

“How he’s handled everything since he’s come here – both playing & not playing – he’s been a tremendous professional….you just have to be open & honest w/him. Keep him looped in (on trade possibilities).”

Heat losing streak at 4, with Boston, Knicks, Suns, Kings ahead. More trades on ‘edges’ pointless & difficult. But even if skid continues, is this core (meaning: their top players) owed the remainder of the season together considering 2 Finals and 3 deep runs in 4 years? Probably – 4:04 PM

NEW: A fresh 6-pack of nuggets from Marlins Media Day, including exploring this: Marlins have only 7 veteran players who were good offensively last season. So where do they turn if 1 of them is injured? Here’s where

East Guard’s: Haliburton, Brunson
East Frontcourt: Embiid, Tatum, Giannis
West Guard’s: Luka, SGA
West Frontcourt: Jokic, LeBron, Kawhi
Brunson narrowly edged Mitchell, Dame, Maxey
West FC was tough. KD has had a typically fantastic KD year. – 1:42 PM
