Luka Doncic is just strolling into layups right now. Dwight Howard is trying to prevent both the drive and lob, but he’s cleared out of Doncic’s way twice, ceding uncontested layups. – 7:38 PM

#Lakers coach Frank Vogel on #Mavs coach Jason Kidd: “I think he should be the Coach of the Year. I’m not saying that to get him fired. I say that out of nothing but love. He has done a phenomenal job here.” – 6:50 PM

The Dallas Mavericks have signed Brandon Knight to a second 10-day contract under the COVID-related hardship allowance, team says. – 6:42 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Jason Kidd on if MJ or LBJ is the greatest of all-time: “I think LeBron will go down as the greatest to do it. When you look at his numbers — what he’s done on and off the floor — no one’s done that. You got to put the whole package together. He’s the greatest of all-time.” – 6:41 PM
JD Shaw @JShawNBA
The Mavericks have signed veteran guard Brandon Knight to a second 10-day hardship contract, the team announced. Knight signed a 10-day deal with the team back in December as well. – 6:41 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
No LeBron, no Davis. You’d think that would make tonight the Luka Show, but in reality an ideal Mavs’ night would be to put away the Lakers early and somewhat rest for tomorrow’s game at Cleveland. pic.twitter.com/A7HbbqITu26:36 PM

📅 On this day in 1962, the @Los Angeles Lakers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West became the first teammates in NBA history to each score at least 40 points in the same playoff game.
The feat has been accomplished five times since, most recently by Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday (April 21, 2018). pic.twitter.com/xnsoFn3FFF2:01 PM

#Lakers‘ embracing the win-now approach may lead them to a foolish mistake with Anthony Davis.
