The previous time I was in this arena, the Rockets and Wizards combined for 317 points. Expect a high-scoring game tonight, but I’ll to out on a limb and predict fewer than 317. – 6:59 PM

Stephen Silas was asked if Christian Wood has done enough to be the All-Star that he considers himself to be. There was a long pause. “That’s a good question.”
Silas said he believes All Stars are based on their consistency and he believes Wood can get there. – 5:43 PM

PJ Washington is back and ready to help the #Hornets against Detroit tonight. While he was out, he noticed something.
“I don’t feel like we have the right mentality right now,” he said, “and that’s why we’ve been losing.”
