Like a Bat out of Hell… Nicolas Batum picking up where he left off after his 32-point game on Monday, banking in a middy and splashing a 3.
All five Clippers have scored, with Batum and Jackson making 2 FGs each. 15-8 Clippers lead mid 1st quarter – 7:19 PM

The Magic are playing the first of five straight home games. First time playing consecutive home games since December 28th and 30th against Milwaukee. Since then they’ve played 7 road games and 3 at home. – 7:09 PM

Gery Woelfel @GeryWoelfel
The Donte DiVincenzo trade watch is on. Some NBA officials believe the Bucks will try once again to unload the SG by the Feb. 10 trade deadline. The Bucks tried to trade DiVincenzo to Sacramento in the summer of ’20, but the NBA nixed the deal, saying the Bucks violated NBA rules – 6:30 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Jrue Holiday is not on the Bucks injury report tonight. After missing six games with left ankle soreness, he returned in Wednesday’s win vs. Memphis, but played only 22 minutes off the bench.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said they will be keeping an eye on him again tonight. – 6:25 PM

Ask Sam about whether it’s time for the Bulls to attack the trade market and what’s wrong with the Hall of Fame for not enshrining Ayo yet.

When we first moved to Milwaukee, we were given a sticker that said “I’m from Milwaukee and that’s not funny.”
I feel like robot ads/headlines like this is why such a sticker is still relevant 😑 pic.twitter.com/DoAHQ0ZCeT2:30 PM
