John Collins has sunk his 800th career free throw, with his first make from the line tonight. Collins, who’s shooting a career-best .929% from the stripe this season, entered tonight’s game ranked 4th in the NBA in FT%. – 8:26 PM

Jalen Green already has four assists in the first four minutes. – 8:19 PM
Kelly Iko @KellyIko
Houston with 5 assists on their first 6 made field goals. Also look like a real problem in transition. Up 16-7 early on Atlanta. – 8:19 PM

Bruno Fernando is impacting the rim at both ends. Rockets really missed hm – 8:18 PM

Trae Young drew a foul by jumping into Jalen Green without making contact with him. That doesn’t bode well for how this game is going to be officiated – 8:14 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks with a seriously unserious start to the game. – 8:13 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Houston’s uniforms are lovely.
And largely wasted without a floor design to match. – 8:11 PM

Tonight’s game marks Atlanta’s final contest against the Rockets this season. In the win on 10/19 (117-107), Dejounte Murray became the 1st Hawk since Spud Webb to tally a point/assist double-double in his first game with the club (20 PTS, 11 AST).

I need a good night out of Denver’s defense. Clippers have the 28th ranked offense and are without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Nuggets have the 27th ranked defense — the only teams worse are the Rockets, Pistons, Spurs. This defensive turnaround has to start soon. – 7:42 PM

The #Rockets have recorded at least 24 assists in five of the past eight games after doing so only once the first nine games of the season. Houston has recorded an assist on 62.2% of their field goals made over the past eight games, up from 50.4% the first nine games. – 5:13 PM

NEW: How Dolphins’ Grier has earned trust, turned assets into bigger ones. With Houston visiting, it’s a good time to see what Tunsil trade (& 49ers draft trade) ultimately netted years later… J.J., Polian with insight on Grier. And Mostert doubtful: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…4:30 PM

Mostert doubtful, Bridgewater questionable for Sunday. Everybody else on the 53 is good for go for Houston on Sunday at Hard Rock. – 4:10 PM
