James Harden with his best defensive stanza as a Sixer. Kept his feet on the floor and denied Ntilikina a drive and a 3-shot foul, then tipped the ball away from Maxi Kleber on a drive to prevent a shot to end the first quarter. – 7:37 PM

Former #Nova standout Jalen Brunson with one of those “This Is My House” starts. The Mav guard scored the first seven points of the game, leading to Doc Rivers calling a timeout with his squad down, 7-0. Nova plays several home games here at Wells Fargo Center. – 7:16 PM

Mavs about to tip off in Philly.
Feels like Dallas has to lose this one and then lose to the Wolves twice next week for the Wolves to remain in the hunt to get a 5 or 6 seed.
Dallas is currently four games up on Minnesota in the loss column (Denver is two up). – 7:12 PM

In other Mavs news that actually has to do with basketball:
Jason Kidd said center Marquese Chriss will return tonight after 13 games out with right knee soreness. Mavs will run him in 3-to-4 min stretches and gain some more flexibility to play Maxi Kleber at the 4, not just 5. – 6:33 PM

Big-man notes re: the Mavericks. They will get some help back tonight as Marquese Chriss is available for the first time since Feb. 10. Allows Maxi Kleber to play some PF instead of strictly C, coach Jason Kidd said. BTW, Mavericks are 21-4 when Dwight Powell scores 10 or more. – 6:29 PM

Asked Doc, who has said there is a rest plan in place for Harden and Embiid, if both of them could get a game off during this stretch of three games in four nights at home (Dallas tonight, Toronto Sunday, Miami Monday). He admitted it was possible, but wouldn’t say either way. – 5:21 PM
