This is @maxkoe1523, AKA the Sacramento Kings good luck charm tonight. It’s his first NBA game and, get this, it’s his birthday!
But it gets better! He was born 16 years ago, the final year the Kings made the playoffs, 2006. pic.twitter.com/B8jr8x5y6I – 9:16 PM

Nightly questionable decisions on their way for tonight’s Prize Picks partnership. Murray wants that record. Sabonis wants to clinch. Someone has to score for Blazers. Tons of interesting matchups around the league.

Should be fun to watch @trailblazers tonight vs. @SacramentoKings. No Lillard, Grant, Simons, Nurkic, Watford or Reddish.
Who’s left?
Feel bad for season ticket-holders who wind up watching a G-League team.
