Going off Woj, if Kevin Durant’s return is imminent but won’t be vs. Tor, that points to 3/3 Mia for KD.
If Simmons’ return is not this week but ‘on the heels’ of KD & his 1st game won’t be 3/10 Phi, that leaves for Simmons #nets debut:

I asked Jimmy Butler a schematic question on Bam Adebayo’s weak-side defending for this team:
Jimmy stops me to say Bam stole one of his blocks in that way, since they credited Bam when he tipped it
When I asked Bam if that was true:
“He’s JIMVP, so he’s gotta let me be DPOY.” – 11:11 PM

So:
— First Heat-Spurs game postponed due to lack of available Heat players (COVID).
— Heat-Spurs make-up game moved up an hour due to San Antonio ice storm.
— Now this time no Murray, Johnson, Poeltl for Spurs.
Guess, the Heat next have to turn off the air conditioning. – 4:56 PM

Once Tomas Satoransky is fully integrated, I could see Raul Neto sliding to backup shooting guard and either Ish Smith or Sato could start
Wizards may or may not make the play-in tournament, but they should at least have some entertaining lineups and competitive games – 3:58 PM

We should have the Spurs’ injury report for tonight shortly. Will be interested to see if anyone is sitting out with an injury or for rest purposes after last night’s game. Fwiw, Dejounte Murray described himself as ‘great’ during postgame availability after twisting his knee. – 2:22 PM

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has a chance to tie Don Nelson for the all-time regular-season coaching wins record vs. Heat tonight.
When told last night that Popovich can tie the record in Miami, Erik Spoelstra’s response was: “Aw, shit.” – 12:47 PM

With Tomas Satoransky, the Wizards could now roll out some giant lineups:
PG Satoransky (6-7)
SG Kispert (6-7)
SF Avdija (6-9) or Hachimura (6-8)
PF Kuzma (6-10)
C Porzingis (7-3) – 12:41 PM

I really liked the idea of Wizards getting Tomas Satoransky at the trade deadline to help develop their young players
They got Ish Smith instead which works in the same vein, but now Tommy Sheppard gets the best of both worlds bringing back his beloved second round pick – 12:31 PM
Bill Simmons
@BillSimmons
So the Spurs trade Forbes (4.5m) for Juancho (6.2m) in mid-January.
A month later they trade Juancho (6.2m) for Satoransky (10m) + Utah’s 2027 2nd round pick.
Today they bought out Satoransky, who was more than 2x as expensive as Forbes.
Just trying to figure this one out. – 12:30 PM

Once Satoransky is waived, the Spurs will have two open roster spots.

Heat’s starting lineup of Lowry, Robinson, Butler, Tucker, Adebayo have posted dominant defensive rating of 94.1 points allowed per 100 possessions in 317 minutes. That’s NBA’s second-best DEFRTG among lineups that have played 200-plus minutes.

This is what is taking Tyler Herro to that next level offensively
– Refuses the screen out of the high pick and roll, throwing his defender to his right
– Pauses for him to recover, gives him the bump, then explodes forward
– Wide open floater is the outcome
