The Wizards & Lakers meet Friday, for the first time since the mega-trade that sent Russell Westbrook to L.A. Early returns suggested the Wiz won the trade, but things have grown murkier. Our @Josh Robbins breaks it down, in @TheAthletic: theathletic.com/3176416/2022/0… – 11:00 AM

Alperen Sengun scored 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds against the Lakers in 40 minutes and was never in foul trouble. Could he have done that a month ago? “Probably not,” Stephen Silas said.

Nikola Jokic last night:
23 PTS
12 REB
9 AST
It’s the 41st time Jokic has recorded at least 20p/10r/5a in a game this season.
The only player since the ABA-NBA merger with more such games in a single season is Russell Westbrook (49, 2016-17). pic.twitter.com/wO8UV0WVPT – 9:21 AM

Not so sure Kenny Smith wanted to go there, BUT he did.
Giving bold predictions, Smith said #Lakers will not only make playoffs, but “win a round in the playoffs.”
#LakeShow right now 9th. If that holds, best they can do is 8th.
#Suns top seed right now.
So Lakers over Suns? pic.twitter.com/wgFZXUQ681 – 1:41 AM
