Also, one game after the Mavs played on Slovenia Night in Cleveland, it’s Latvian Heritage Night in Washington.
Prooooobably not a coincidence with both Latvian NBA players in the house, but what do I know.. – 7:08 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Wondered if Kidd might start Dinwiddie, but he’s going with the usual starters: Doncic, Brunson, Powell, Finney-Smith, Bullock.
And, yes, KP is playing, listed as a starter for Washington. – 6:36 PM

See Luka Doncic warm up before Wizards-Mavs and hear the latest update on whether Kyle Kuzma (and Porzingis) will be shut down in my 3 keys to the game.

Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jason Kidd slipped in an update about Mavs’ potential plans next week: “There’s some guys that could rest, definitely, next week.”
Expect Luka Doncic to be a candidate to sit against Detroit (Wednesday) or Portland (Friday) next week, been though he’ll likely want to play. – 6:02 PM

Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said just now he doesn’t agree with Spencer Dinwiddie’s comments post-trade that his role in Washington was unclear, but “he’s in a situation that fits him better” now.
Clutch Mav Spencer would agree with that. – 5:32 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Wes Unseld Jr. on Dinwiddie: “He’s in a situation that fits him better.” Says Porzingis is positively impacting Wizards and that Dinwiddie/Bertans are positively impacting Dallas. “I think it’s a win-win.” – 5:27 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wes Unseld Jr. says the Wizards being eliminated from the playoffs does not change their plans to return Kyle Kuzma from his injury, at least as of now. Indicated that could change for both him and Porzingis. – 5:23 PM
