Jimmy Butler and Max Strus try to explain their unique relationship: “We’re both kind of sarcastic, so I think our personalities mix well together” miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Also, has Caleb Martin thought about the possibility of participating in the Dunk Contest? – 6:58 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
In his last two outings, Trae Young is averaging 33.5 PPG, 12.5 APG and 4.5 RPG (.500 FG%, .500 3FG%, 1.000 FT%). Young became the first player in the NBA this season to notch at least 10 FTM on a perfect 1.000 clip in back-to-back games: 11-11 (vs. MIN), 14-14 (vs. MIL). – 6:49 PM

Max Strus has been added to the Heat’s injury report. He’s probable to play tonight with a right knee contusion. – 6:46 PM
Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Nothing against Kevin Knox, who I liked pre-draft, but assigning all these minutes to him rather than Jalen, who they sent to CP even though they knew Gallo was hurting, is wasteful. Somebody is wrong, Travis who picked him or Nate who won’t play him. – 6:39 PM
Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
What I don’t like about a no-rookie, no-minutes approach is that it burns a year of team control and they haven’t even seen real game action. There is no redshirt year for Jalen Johnson 🤣🤣, this one counts. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ – 6:32 PM

In the two matchups this season, Trae Young has shot 3 of 13 when defended by Caleb Martin and PJ Tucker
Those will be the primary assignments again tonight, while Bam is mixed in a lot more
Young had his way a bit in the PnR against the dropping Yurt, so a good shift for Miami – 3:42 PM
