Feels like Trey Murphy getting a chance to shoot the illegal D free throw aided him in knocking down that long 3-pointer.
Trey – 4, Heat – 0 – 7:43 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
As the Heat’s new “power forward,” Caleb Martin has opened the game on Zion Williamson. And Martin just blocked Zion at the rim. – 7:43 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Caleb Martin blocks Zion Williamson’s first shot. So therefore an inspired choice as starting power forward. – 7:43 PM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
It’s hard to actually space the court for Zion Williamson. Deep three’s like that from Trey will definitely do it – 7:43 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
We live. Let’s hoop.

Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Why does Heat rookie Nikola Jovic enjoy playing as a facilitator? “If I can help other players play good and I can find them with good passes to score, we’re going to win. And I enjoy it because if you make a good pass, everybody is happy.”

Just spoke with Brandon Ingram. He told me he’s feeling good and he’s made progressions in the last few days that could get him on the floor Friday.
Said he thinks it’s important that the starting five get one game in before Brooklyn. Thinks that game will be a good tune up. – 6:46 PM

Willie Green says CJ McCollum will warm up and see how it goes.
Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels won’t play.
Pels will also rest Jonas Valanciunas tonight.
Willie has mentioned minutes JV played in EuroBasket and how he (and Willy) didn’t need as much of a ramp up as everyone else. – 6:03 PM

On the naming rights front, being told #Spurs and AT&T extend naming rights deal one season but asset remains on the market.
Speculation among sponsorship analyst suggest #Spurs could land close to what #Heat landed for naming rights deal ($135M for 19 yrs)
