Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
Hornets broadcast telling a cool story about Aaron Wiggins. He went to Maryland and began the season starting as a freshman. Went to coach Mark Turgeon and said he would come off the bench if needed. Wound up winning Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Winner as a sophomore. – 8:54 PM

Kerr joked he’s not in a giving mood and declines to name who will start for Klay on the second night of a back to back, and whether Kuminga still starts for Draymond. – 8:23 PM

Andrew Wiggins will go through pregame warmups before a final decision is made about if he’s playing or not, but Steve Kerr says he should be OK. – 8:20 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz
Quin said he’d love to get Eric Paschall some more minutes, and noted he deserves to play, but said he felt like they need to have a traditional rolling big as much as possible (hence the Dok minutes vs. Houston), and wants to get Rudy Gay settled at the 4, so it’s hard. – 7:35 PM

Giving up assets to trade away Russell Westbrook for John Wall sounds as ridiculous as giving up assets to trade away Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Ben Simmons.
And yet somehow both those ideas have been floated today. – 6:39 PM

#lakeshow fans should hit Phase 4 of #Rockets trade talks by Tuesday:
Phase 1: “No way! Russ is better than Wall!”
Phase 2: “I might do Russ for Wall.”
Phase 3: “I’m not including a 1st! A 2nd is better than nothing!”
Phase 4: “Do you want the 2027 or 2028 unprotected first?” – 5:40 PM
Noah Levick @NoahLevick
From Doc Rivers pregame:
-Seth Curry still questionable with left ankle soreness
-Jaden Springer call-up about needing healthy bodies, hasn’t had a chance to watch him with Blue Coats
-Thinks Charlie Brown Jr. has chance to be “great defender” in NBA, that he struggled vs. ORL – 5:33 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Andrew Wiggins is listed as QUESTIONABLE for tonight’s game v. Houston with left foot soreness on the latest injury report. – 4:47 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
My prediction is that the Lakers don’t trade Russell Westbrook for John Wall. I think they do everything possible to make it work this year, and if it doesn’t, they trade his expiring deal in the offseason for a few overpaid role players on long-term deals
I’m like 65-35 on this – 4:44 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Added to Warriors injury list: Andrew Wiggins (L foot soreness) is listed as ‘questionable.’ He often plays thru pain. If out, he joins Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala, both of whom are on scheduled rest nights. – 4:39 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andrew Wiggins is questionable tonight vs Rockets with left foot soreness. Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala already out, resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Steph Curry, as expected, will play. – 4:35 PM
Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
Klay Thompson is going to settle in, and ideally Wiggins and Poole figure it out with him. But right now Thompson is dribbling and shooting too much and it’s had ripple effect. – 4:31 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If Russell Westbrook gets traded to Houston, this is how I *actually* think it would play out:
He agrees to stay away from the Rockets for the rest of the year. Rather than playing this season, he stays in LA with his family. Then they figure out a buyout in the offseason. – 4:23 PM

I have no idea if John Wall is still a good player, by the way. I thought there were semi-encouraging flashes in Houston but the numbers were mostly discouraging. I have no idea what this year off does to him. I have no idea how playing with LeBron affects him. He’s a mystery box – 4:17 PM
