Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAENIn light of Dejounte Murray’s All-Star candidacy, asked Monty Williams how much he weighs winning records in picking reserves. In short, he says it counts but isn’t the be-all, end-all: pic.twitter.com/QJyX7211eR – 7:38 PM
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAENPop says none of Spurs’ injured starters should be out long. Absences sound mostly precautionary.
On Poeltl (back): “He gets beat up every game.”
On Murray: “hyperextended a knee, not seriously.”
On White: “a variety of maladies … We want to make sure we keep him healthy.” – 7:36 PM

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAENSpurs: Jones, Vassell, K Johnson, McDermott, Eubanks
Suns: Paul, Booker, Bridges, C Johnson, Biyombo – 7:32 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlsonJaVale McGee is available but Bismack Biyombo will still start for the Suns tonight. Makes sense given Paul’s rhythm with Biyombo and McGee’s with the second unit. – 7:31 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBASpurs will start Jones, Vassell, Keldon, McDermott, Eubanks per Suns PR – 7:31 PM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSportsVucevic out here making the Doug McDermott trade look good. Vuc has 12 & 7, Nurkic 5 & 1.
#Bulls have pulled out to 64-55 lead, still time left in 2ndQ – 4:25 PM
San Antonio Spurs @spursKJ’s been lighting it up from DEEP this season 👌🎯

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSportsCoby White has hit 3 3-ptrs in a row tp put #Bulls up 43-42. He did that in San Antonio too, then was mostly quiet rest of game.
This one is going to hit the over with ease. – 4:10 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoopsMore proof that Ayo is a quick learner? Following the Spurs game Donovan spoke to him about seeing the floor better and looking for the trailer … first breakaway with traffic, found the trailer. – 3:43 PM

David Hardisty @clutchfansLakers have lost 7 of their last 10 and are now 24-27. There are several teams that could get a boost by adding Gordon, but I think the teams that REALLY need him are Suns, Lakers, Cavs, Raptors, Sixers, TWolves, Mavericks. – 3:32 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin#Suns have gone 38-6 since an 1-3 start.
They were the 1st team to 30 wins this season.
They’re the last team to have single-digit losses.
They can be the 1st team to 40 wins this season with a victory today against San Antonio.
Phoenix is 3-0 against the #Spurs this season. pic.twitter.com/2SJJNSspQt – 2:44 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaefBilly Donovan said Javonte Green’s PT restriction will go up “a few minutes” today vs. POR. Was 24-26 vs. SAS (he played 23)
If no incident through ORL game on Tues, restriction will likely be lifted. Bulls have tread lightly with groin strain that cost Green 12 games – 2:25 PM
Gary Tanguay @Gary_TanguayTanguay kept my interest in this thrilling book from beginning to end. His development of the characters was spot-on, and I felt I was a part of the story and knew every one of the characters on a personal level – OnlineBookClub.org. TheArmAndTheFall.com – 2:19 PM
