Khris Middleton just ran the Tony Snell play with Pat Connaughton.
That’s where things have progressed this season. – 9:48 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Joel Embiid was as dominant as he has been all season on Monday, and the Sixers escaped with a win over Charlotte as a result.

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
This will be the first time all season that either Mann or Kennard will start a game.
That means tonight’s second unit will be: Bledsoe, Boston, Mann, Ibaka, Hartenstein.
Tonight would be a good time for Boston to get his catch and shoot game going. – 9:36 PM

Clippers break up the Terance Mann-Luke Kennard combo, start Jackson, Kennard, George, Morris, Zubac.
Looks like CJ McCollum is out tonight with Portland starting Dennis Smith Jr., Norman Powell, Tony Snell, Robert Covington, Jusuf Nurkic. – 9:34 PM

Tyronn Lue on matchup 4 of Clippers-Trail Blazers:
“Whichever team had the defensive presence and the defensive mindset to start the game won those games.” – 8:58 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Ty Lue on Bledsoe’s reaction to coming off the bench: “He was great, he’s professional, he wants to win. Said, ‘Whatever you want to do, Coach, I’m on board.’ ” – 8:35 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay
CJ McCollum (rib contusion) has been downgraded from probable to doubtful for tonight’s game against the Clippers. #Blazers8:34 PM
Sean Highkin @highkin
Blazers just downgraded CJ from probable to doubtful – 8:33 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay
Nassir Little (sprained left ankle) will miss his fourth straight game tonight. Was listed as questionable on the Injury Report. – 8:28 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay
Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy–injury management) is out tonight against the Clippers, but he is going through a pregame warmup here at Moda Center. Getting some threes up at the moment. – 8:27 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Chauncey Billups says that he “hopes” CJ McCollum (rib) plays tonight, but that he’s not sure. – 8:24 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Billups: “We’re hoping CJ plays, but right now we’re not sure.” Also notes, it’s hard playing with Dame and Ant, who both will be out. – 8:24 PM

Casey Holdahl @CHold
Anfernee Simons is out for tonight’s game with a right ankle sprain, though he is going through a workout pregame. Wasn’t the case (as far as I know) before the Boston game. – 8:01 PM

I expect Portland to come out and play with an attitude tonight.
145 American points allowed Saturday against the Celtics.
Look at this man Payton Pritchard. Came back to the state of Oregon and treated garbage time like it was @portlandproam 💀💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/IoxOkVhzju7:34 PM

#Suns next three:
Today vs. #Spurs (w/o Devin Booker: hamstring).
Friday vs. #Celtics.
Monday at #Clippers.
Toughest: Spurs. Won 4 straight, beat Warriors. 5-1 since Suns loss.
Easiest: Clippers. Rematch of WCF Suns won in 6.
Prediction: 2-1.

A trade package built around CJ McCollum for Ben Simmons makes perfect sense for the Trail Blazers: pic.twitter.com/3oAUycSy7M5:01 PM

Mark Murphy @Murf56
C’s continue to list Jaylen Brown as questionable heading into Lakers/Clippers swing. Udoka: “See how he feels after going harder today than he has in awhile, since he played in the games. Big picture approach, being cautious with it and getting him back at 100, not 85, 90.” – 4:45 PM
