#Cavs Isaac Okoro – who is out with a left elbow sprain – went through a workout on the floor before the game. He did one drill where he jogged from halfcourt to the corner, caught the ball and shot a 3. He also worked on 3s from both corners. – 9:46 PM

Per @RaptorsPR, VanVleet’s 17 straight points is most by a Raptor since rookie MoPete had the same on Feb. 27, 2001 vs. Cleveland. Vince holds the record, 18, vs. Orlando. – 9:39 PM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Per Raps PR, Fred’s 17 straight points tonight was the longest streak by a Raptor since Mo Pete scored 17 straight Feb. 27, 2001 vs. Cleveland. Vince Carter holds the franchise record with 18 consecutive points March 17, 2000 vs. Orlando. – 9:38 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
From the tireless Raptors PR crew:
Fred VanVleet’s 17 consecutive points tonight was the longest streak … since Morris Peterson scored 17 straight Feb. 27, 2001 vs. Cleveland. Vince Carter holds the franchise record with 18 consecutive points March 17, 2000 vs. Orlando. – 9:38 PM

The VanVleet/Beal/Garland choice for All-Star is going brutal for NBA coaches. – 9:26 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Rajon Rondo has taken part in two practices since joining the team, so I wouldn’t expect a big workload in his debut tonight. However, multiple sources say he has looked good in scrimmages. His smarts have already stood out. He’s not Rubio. But should give more than Pangos – 9:24 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Are we sure Sean Sweeney is the Mavs’ DEFENSIVE coach? At halftime of his first game as acting coach, Dallas leads 80-60.
Mavs’ previous high for a first half this season was 72 at Portland on Dec. 27.
It’s Dallas’ highest-scoring first half since 85 vs. Rockets in the bubble. – 9:09 PM

Know what would be a good way to warm up for tonight’s road trip opener v. POR? Checking out @Kevin Love on this week’s episode of Wine and Gold Radio. The 5-time All-Star discusses a variety of topics, including @ElalcaldeRafa intimating my dog was fat.

Post Cut-Down Date Spending Power Update:
-OKC can still generate $34M in cap space. Notable since they’re way below the salary floor.
-Grizzlies sign Killian Tillie using a chunk of their Room MLE.
-Utah, Cleveland, and Lakers create small TPEs (not listed). pic.twitter.com/bicIQKduPR5:00 PM
