What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz have a 10-9 led in Dallas in what’s been something of a slog thus far. Mavs shooting 3-7, Utah 4-10. 6:59 left 1Q. – 7:50 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:59 remaining in the first quarter. The jazz lead the Mavericks 10-9 – 7:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Luka is hunting Eric Paschall – 7:48 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The officials called the foul on Eric paschall that wasn’t a foul and didn’t call the foul on Eric paschall that was a foul – 7:45 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
First Mavs’ possession ends with Dwight Powell offensive rebound and put-back. With no Rudy Gobert (or Hassan Whiteside), Mavs should be able to win the boards tonight. – 7:42 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Turns out Luka is the same in English and Spanish. 😂 pic.twitter.com/ina60V9p9F7:41 PM

Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Another reason for Luka hype tonight:
Luka Miller — feature toddler in my trend piece last year about babies being named after Luka Doncic — is here for his first Mavs game and in his new 77 shirt.
Each time 3-year-old Luka sees 23-yo Luka in red Jordans, he knows: “That’s me.” pic.twitter.com/a7YdgxmbuR7:41 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Luka had some quick words for the crowd at AAC — in Spanish for Los Mavs Noche. – 7:40 PM

Jeff Wade @SkinWade
Hey yo @ShippySpins, will you please play lots of Dizzy Gillespie, Cal Tjader and Eddie Palmieri tonight at the AAC since it’s Latin Jazz night? – 7:26 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Obviously have to see how the game plays out, plus the next seven.
But if the Jazz start the postseason on the road, there’s no guarantee they make it to the second round.
If that happens, could be an interesting off season. May have been headed that way anyways. – 7:11 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz starters: Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale, Hernangomez, Paschall. – 7:11 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Welcome to Jazz conspiracy theory time! Here’s your Jazz conspiracy theory of the day:
By sitting Gobert, the Jazz are tanking this game in an effort to get to the six seed, in order to avoid playing the Suns until the WCF.
This has been Jazz conspiracy theory time. – 7:08 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
“Tonight, we believe he’s going to touch the ball a lot, so we got to be conscious of that.”
That was Jason Kidd talking about Rudy Gobert in his pregame presser, unaware that Gobert would be a late scratch. Game plan probably changes just a bit with him not playing. – 7:07 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Mavs starters: Bullock, DFS, Powell, Brunson, Doncic
Utah starters: O’Neale, Hernangomez, Paschall, Mitchell, Conley
6:40 tip @theeagledallas7:07 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Rudy Gobert has been added to the @Utah Jazz injury report and will not play in today’s critical matchup with the @Dallas Mavericks.
Gobert joins Bojan Bogdanovic, Hassan Whiteside, Danuel House Jr., and Udoka Azubuike in missing the game.
The Jazz will not have a center available. – 7:04 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
Your first five on the floor tonight.

Gobert (leg bruise) won’t play tonight, a big break for Dallas. Neither team will employ a 7-footer, unless Marjanovic gets in. – 7:00 PM

Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Uh oh… Rudy Gobert is out with a lateral right leg contusion.
So… no centers! – 6:52 PM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Minnesota is down 15 to Boston with over 7 minutes before half.
Dallas plays Utah later tonight.
Either or both teams losing tonight would only help the Nuggets, who only have a one-loss lead on the 7th seeded Timberwolves. – 6:52 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Rudy Gobert is OUT tonight in Dallas – 6:52 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon

Breaking: Rudy Gobert is now OUT vs Dallas due to right leg contusion. – 6:50 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jason Kidd hesitated to call Mavs-Jazz tonight an important game for home-court advantage, but he said this of big-game Luka Doncic:
“He’s felt it. He’s played in it, and I think some people don’t like it. I think he’s embraced it. He loves it. He loves the stage.” pic.twitter.com/bnBHoArSIG6:48 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
If you’ve ever wondered whether Doncic is as big as an NFL tight end, the answer is “bigger.” pic.twitter.com/B4o64GOKma6:41 PM

“Some places have home court (advantage), some don’t,”
Kidd says. “Utah is a team that does. They play very well at home.” Mavs have lost 11 straight in SLC, so, yes, today is big. – 5:55 PM
