Jaylen Brown scored 39 points earlier this year against Rockets … and it was only the 15th highest scoring game against them this season (including that 71-point game by Dame).
@DKSportsbook has Brown’s over/under at 24.5 points tonight. Brown at exactly 24.5 PPG in March. – 7:37 PM

This is actually a smart move by Temple. Try and get in front of another potential Big 5 opening, and go get Matt Langel.
Unless Langel winds up at Penn State – if Micah leaves — or lands at Notre Dame. – 5:10 PM

Over 150 DI players have hit the transfer portal today.
Player that will be the most highly sought-after of the bunch? JJ Starling from Notre Dame. Former five-star recruit. Averaged 11 points per game as a freshman combo guard. Lot of upside for him. – 4:57 PM

The Blazers might be done for the season
Also: if anyone deserves Wemby, it just might be Damian Lillard. IMO, of course – 9:05 PM

More on this storyline
Damian Lillard: “When I came in the league, like Jason Kidd was starting for the Knicks and Grant Hill and Kurt Thomas and Kenyon Martin…it was real older dudes in the league,” Lillard said. “I played with Jared Jeffries, he was 40, 41 or something. Earl Watson was 40 when I played with him. I played with real vets, and it was a lot of stuff I learned, like being a point guard or how to lead from Mo Williams and Earl Watson and Jared Jeffries. And they didn’t even play, it was just the way they showed me how stuff had to be done, I had no choice but to respect the game. I didn’t have – the word I was looking for is entitlement. “ -via Uproxx / March 14, 2023
Damian Lillard: “You got players who are more talented than ever coming into the league, they’re getting picked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, they’re making more money than those picks ever made, so not only that, now you giving them the keys to the franchise. There’s nobody there to tell them, you’re super-talented, but you’ve gotta earn stuff around here. You gotta earn your way. “ -via Uproxx / March 14, 2023
