After defeating Portland by 29 (126-97) on 1/3/24, the Mavs beat the Blazers by 36 (139-103) tonight. The 65-point margin of victory over the 2-game span is the Mavs’ largest over a 2-game span with both games coming against the same opponent (previous: +47, vs. CLE 5/7-5/9/21). pic.twitter.com/MndMabVRKS – 11:30 PM

“I don’t think it’s the numbers people were expecting. See 2 starters go down & you think, ‘Uh oh.’ Things can spiral out of control. But we’ve held our own & we are still a team capable of great things”
#Cavs keep finding a way without Garland & Mobley

Wizards lose to the Cavs in Cleveland for the 2nd straight game. Offense was flat: 90 points on 41.7% FG. Bilal Coulibaly was a standout with 15 pts, 7 reb and 3 blk.
They now return home to host the Knicks tomorrow in a back-to-back. – 9:47 PM

If I’m Monte McNair, I’m calling Cleveland about Jarrett Allen too.
No idea if he’s available, or if a rim-protecting center will work with Sabonis, but I’d at least gage Allen’s value. – 6:32 PM

Pick one trade result for the Kings. And before you select the Siakam option on impulse, remember that he’s an expiring deal vs way better contract situations for Kuzma & Kuminga.
HKD = Harrison, Kevin, Davion combo package. – 6:12 PM
