From the shoes that honored his son to the surprise visit from his family, Zach LaVine had quite the night both on and off the court.

Wizards, Raptors lose tonight. Toronto is the 9th seed with a 1/2game lead on Washington. The Bulls trail the Wizards by one game…and 9th seed Raptors by 1.5. The Bulls are two games behind 8th seed Atlanta. – 12:38 AM

Zach LaVine on Patrick Williams tonight: “It was from the first play, from his first basket. He drove through some contact, bumped him again, told him to get out the way. He’s that talented and that strong. He can do so much stuff on the court. It’s just scratching the surface.” – 12:29 AM

Normal starters for the Nuggets tonight.
Bulls will start Caruso, Beverley, LaVine, DeRozan, Vucevic.
Should be an interesting opportunity for MPJ specifically. Murray likely faces Caruso for much of the evening. – 8:33 PM

The Kings – youngest player is 22. Nuggets have 3 guys younger than 24, the Warriors had 6 aka DOUBLE that to start the season. 76ers have 2 players younger than 23. The Grizzlies are one exception but look what’s happening there, sadly imploding due to lack of vet leadership. – 6:50 PM
