Sarah Todd @NBASarah
So far I like the shots the Jazz have been getting and they’ve at least tried to get back and get in front of the ball. Baby steps – 9:19 PM

Mitchell Robinson is getting worked on while sitting on the floor next to the Knicks bench. – 9:02 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Mitchell Robinson with his fourth foul and limps off – caught his left leg as he fouled and now being tended to on the bench by trainers. – 9:01 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Last night, the Pelicans became the first team since 2013 (BOS 11/9/13) to hit go-ahead 3-pointers with two seconds or less in each half.
– Willy Hernangomez’s 3 to end 2Q (46-45)
– Devonte Graham’s 3 with 1.3 left (98-87)
Per @ESPNStatsInfo research. – 8:51 PM

Marco Anthony will sit tonight vs. BYU.
Anthony is not going through warmups.
Utah is already down Gabe Madsen and Bostyn Holt, now down a pretty capable perimeter defender. – 8:44 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Pelicans starters tonight:
Devonte’ Graham
Josh Hart
Brandon Ingram
Herb Jones
Jonas Valanciunas – 8:35 PM

Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Checking in from the Huntsman Center, where roughly half the upper bowl is open for the first time this season.
That indicates the expectation is 10,000+ tonight for Utah-BYU. – 7:42 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Quin Snyder said Mike Conley is playing for a few reasons, including Royce O’Neale not playing and because there was no travel between these back to back games.
Said Mike always prefers to play more. – 7:34 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Despite tonight being a B2B for the Jazz, Mike Conley will play tonight. Coach Quin Snyder said Conley’s overall minutes, the lack of travel, the coming schedule, and Royce’s absence all played a factor in the decision. – 7:29 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Back at it 😎

David Locke @DLocke09
Jazz game plan on Brandon Ingram last night was outstanding. The key was how Royce O’Neale dealt with Jonas in the post. Not sure who can fulfill that – 7:14 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
No Royce O’Neale tonight for the @Utah Jazz. Foot/ankle sprain. – 7:12 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Usual Hawks starters for tonight:
Trae Young
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Kevin Huerter
John Collins
Clint Capela
Knicks will start RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, Evan Fournier and Alec Burks. – 7:06 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Anthony Brown got destroyed by Utah last week, but he was terrific today against Oregon State.
350+ all-purpose in a game the Ducks had to have. – 6:44 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
This game is OVER. 31-9. Fourth quarter. Oregon State didn’t show up. Ducks bounce back from a debacle at Utah. Will face Utah again next week in Pac-12 title game. – 6:06 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
A lot of Utah fans turned into the Incredible Hulk after last week, screaming to bring on Oregon again.
Ducks are one half from accommodating that request. – 4:52 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
An MRI determines that second year center Udoka Azubuike has suffered a subluxation of the right ankle. He has no fractures, which is good news. He will continue to undergo tests, but initially this seems like the same injury he suffered last season – 4:15 PM

Saturday’s #Pelicans injury report presented by @MorrisBartLLC remains unchanged from first game of Utah back-to-back. https://t.co/nPYaR0N0oA pic.twitter.com/ELPPtLiC3b4:08 PM

Udoka Azubuike suffered a subluxation in his right ankle. X-rays revealed no fractures.
Initially it’s looking like he suffered same injury as last season. – 4:03 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah
initial news on Dok per Jazz is dislocation
Initial imaging determined that Udoka Azubuike suffered a subluxation in his right ankle. X-rays revealed no fractures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results will continue to be reviewed to determine Azubuike’s recovery process. – 4:01 PM

Jazz center Udoka Azubuike has suffered a subluxation in his right ankle, per the team. X-Rays revealed no fractures. – 4:01 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Mike Conley is on track to play in the back end of a back to back for the first time this season. Pretty strong message to how much this team is trying to shake it’s slump – 3:05 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Doesn’t look like the @Utah Jazz plan to rest Mike Conley tonight on the back end of this back to back.
Probably for the best after an up and down few weeks of play from the team. – 3:03 PM
