Wow. The Brooklyn Nets getting smacked at home by Memphis. After inexcusably losing to the Clippers. Amazing – 9:26 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Steve Nash and Kevin Durant weren’t happy after the Clippers loss and I can’t imagine this one is going to improve their moods any. – 9:24 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Clippers
Beasley over 17.5 pts
– Without KAT/DLo, a near-lock to be in this range
Bledsoe over 14.5 pts
– Looked great last game, scored 15+ in 5 of last 6
Ibaka under 8.5 pts
– Really unimpressive lately
Jackson over 2.0 made FTs
– Wolves foul a lot – 9:21 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Chris Finch’s perspective on the Clippers: “We’re all in this tough patch-it-together — regardless of the record, they’ve played some good basketball, the last games I’ve checked out.” – 9:07 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Brian Shaw will wait on Minnesota starting lineup before announcing his own
3 for 3 🤣 – 8:50 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Nico won’t play, Jay Scrubb will — acting coach Brian Shaw says. – 8:45 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Nico Batum will not play tonight but Jay Scrubb will, per Brian Shaw – 8:45 PM
Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
The Grizzlies have knocked down 4 threes in the 1st qtr and there is still 5 min left 👀 – 7:54 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Kevin Durant with an early candidate for play of the night, hunting down Minnesota’s Jarrett Culver for a chasedown block that led to a James Johnson transition 3. – 7:48 PM
Eric Bledsoe @EBled2
Cobra Kai is back yessir 😁 – 7:38 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
No Zubac or Hartenstein for the Clippers tonight — so another small frontcourt against the Wolves.
The available Clippers bigs will be: Ibaka, Morris and maybe Batum (who is listed as questionable).
Other small ball options the Clippers used last game: Winslow, Gabriel, Ennis. – 7:32 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Good evening from Barclays Center. I just had an oatmeal raisin cookie. I’m game-ready. Nets-Grizzlies tip in a bit. First game for the Nets since that ugly Clippers loss and the last before Kyrie Irving returns. Memphis has eight replacement players. Updates to come. – 7:20 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
After covering the Timberwolves I finally got to check out the Carole King and James Taylor concert doc. Excellent. (surprise coming from me) Captured how good Carole is at communicating the emotion in her songs as well as any other live performances of hers out there. – 7:09 PM

The postponed Warriors-Nuggets game in Denver will now be played on March 7th, extending a 3-game Warriors trip into a 4-gamer. It’ll now be the first night of a back-to-back for them. They get the Clippers at home on March 8th. – 5:19 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The value of Jarred Vanderbilt + Nate Knight as offensive rebounders is not how much they individually rebound; it’s about how *the team* rebounds when they’re on the floor.
Wolves grab 33.3% of their own misses when Vando is on, 31.3% when Knight is on (98th + 94th percentile). – 5:09 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The Timberwolves turned the ball over on 24.2% of their possessions last night — their highest turnover frequency game of the season.
The next highest turnover frequency game was against the Clippers on 11/5 (23.1%).
D’Angelo Russell missed both of those games. – 4:55 PM
