Eddie Sefko @ESefko
The Mavericks are running the gamut of headgear tonight with their nose/eye issues. Lively with the Batman-style mask, Powell with the stylish goggles, Luka with nothing at all and Maxi Kleber out completely (although it’s for management of his foot, not his broken schnoz. – 8:22 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Nice bounce back for Barnes and the Raptors. Scottie scored 8 1st-quarter points (more than he had vs San Antonio), and held Siakam to 2 pts and 1-5 FG on the other end. Raptor Killer extraordinaire Doug McDermott beats the buzzer with a 50 footer (!!) to cut Toronto’s lead to 1 – 8:11 PM
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Pop says Zach Collins has come back slowly from the ankle sprain that caused him to miss games in January.
“It set him back pretty good,” Pop says. “We’re going to continue to have confidence in him and continue to play him and hopefully he’ll get back to where he was.” – 8:08 PM

The Wizards have announced that Kyle Kuzma will not play tonight against the Pelicans because of a non-Covid illness. Kuzma was sick during Monday’s loss in Dallas but played anyway. He sat out shootaround this morning because of the illness. – 6:04 PM

“I live and breathe South Bend.”
While the NBA glitterati descends on Indianapolis later this week, Blake Wesley will make a detour home to nearby South Bend.
He is getting his high school jersey number retired.
