Luke Kornet is playing with Maine tonight, so no elite bench celebrations from him. Pressure is on Malik Fitts to bring it! – 7:37 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
From March 12th-17th, 1985, Larry Bird scored 174 points over a four-game span.
Jayson Tatum tonight needs 39 to match that, 40 to surpass it. – 7:33 PM

Jason Kidd said Spencer Dinwiddie and Josh Green will start tonight vs. Rockets for Jalen Brunson (right thigh contusion) and Dorian Finney-Smith (right arm contusion).
More for rest than any long-term concern. Expect Brunson and DFS back for Mavs-Celtics on Sunday afternoon. – 7:00 PM

– at DET (DST, lose hour)

I hope Ray Allen comes back for KG’s retirement ceremony. The loyalty thing goes both ways — the Celtics tried to trade Ray a couple times in 2011/2012, everyone forgets that part. Was 10 years ago, who cares? Game 4 2008 LA will live on way longer than how it ended in 2012. – 1:31 PM
