As Nets-Knicks tip off:
Kevin Durant has won 12 straight vs. the Knicks, dating to his OKC days.
His winning streak is so long that I was in my 30s last time he lost to the Knicks. I’ll be 50 next year. – 7:46 PM

Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t made a three in his last five games. He’s only attempted six threes in that stretch.
It’s hard to question what SGA is doing offensively, but Mark Daigneault was asked if he’d like to see SGA mix in a few more threes: pic.twitter.com/bhDRyzmMQ27:27 PM

Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
The Thunder is committing the third-fewest turnovers while forcing the most turnovers.
Daigneault: “It’s not the top-line goal for us … The defense isn’t designed to turn people over, but we’re doing it because the guys are (playing) hard.” – 7:18 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Atlanta enters tonight’s game leading the NBA in defensive 3FG% (.325 3FG%) … In their win on Monday, the Hawks held Milwaukee to 13-40 shooting from deep, including a 5-29 clip from the second quarter on.

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
In honor of @Eric Nehm, I did present #Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer the opportunity to name his starters for tonight with no Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup.
He declined. – 7:10 PM

Mark Daigneault’s full answer on if he’d like SGA to take more 3PAs
In his last 3 games, SGA has taken 1 total 3PA. In the season, he’s taken 23 3PAs in 9 games pic.twitter.com/79fnMoAcU27:04 PM

Mike Budenholzer said Giannis’ knee is a constant effort and work to keep him at his best: “While he’s not playing, he’s working on his knee and rehabbing.” – 6:44 PM

Mark Daigneault on Jevon Carter: “He’s a dog in the backcourt… He did as good of a job as anybody’s done this season on Shai (last game).” – 6:29 PM

None of Ousmane Dieng, Jaylin Williams, Eugene Omoruyi and Lindy Waters III will be active tonight after playing with the Blue this afternoon.

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
I asked Jeremiah Robinson-Earl about Jaylin Williams and Ousmane Dieng playing with the Blue this afternoon as part of this double header something he did last year he said they talked about it and made sure the guys knew every opportunity is an opportunity to grow. – 5:48 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
JRE on what they learned from the first time they played the Bucks: “I think we did a good job on the offensive end… Just being able to bring that defensive mentality for the 48 minutes.” – 5:46 PM

Ousmane Dieng looked really good in today’s Blue game. Certainly played like a lottery-picked rookie with his performance – 3:57 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
Kam Woods on Eugene Omoruyi: “You max physicality with that much effort, you get a lot done… You put those two things together, you’re gonna get a productive dude. Especially one that’s built like him.” – 3:37 PM

Allen Lazard, GB’s No. 1 wr, has 30 catches & ranks 64th in league.
Why did Packers pay A-Rod big bucks & then give him glorified college receivers? – 3:24 PM

With 15 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, two steals and three blocks against the Thunder (11/7), Jaden Ivey is the first player in the NBA this season, the first Piston since Andre Drummond (11/2/19) and the first rookie since Lonzo Ball (11/11/17) to post such minimums in a game. – 2:10 PM
