Aaron Gordon is active early in Sacramento. He’s up to 6 points after spinning off a defender and finishing. He’s grabbed three rebounds as well. Nuggets lead the Kings 13-8 early. – 10:18 PM

Aaron Gordon looks really good coming out of the break. You wonder if that extended time off helped him rest that balky hamstring. He’s already got 6 points, 3 rebounds in four minutes. – 10:17 PM

Starting with Friday’s pivotal game in Utah, the @Dallas Mavericks have 23 games remaining in the regular season. Three of those games are against the Jazz, and two are against the Warriors. But the Mavs and Kings have the fewest number of back-to-backs — two.
