I can’t see Spurs or Blazers winning again. Jazz maybe: them winning drops the Lakers to 8 unless, could sneak GS up to 5 with a PHX win vs. LAC
Most likely by far:
Suns-Clippers 4-5
Kings-Pelicans/Warriors 3-6
Lakers/Pelicans or Wolves 7-8
NOLA can move up with LAC loss v PHX – 3:31 PM

The legend, DeAndre Jordan, making kids’ day. An important note: kid on the right has a Nikola Jokic picture. When DJ called him on it, kid 🤷🏻
. And DJ signed it anyway. pic.twitter.com/LoCKyjcTNp – 2:59 PM

Michael Malone, asked to make his case for why the #Nuggets can win a title. Said they’ve been in first place since December.
“If healthy, I trust our team against anybody.” – 2:16 PM

Michael Malone said he expects his starters to be available. Emphasized he wants to get them minutes on the court together. Also said he doesn’t expect Bruce Brown (knee) to play.
I don’t expect starters to play full game together though. Probably only a couple quarters. – 2:09 PM

The Utah Jazz are signing free agent center Vernon Carey Jr., for the rest of the season and 2023-2024, sources tell ESPN. Carey Jr., played 11 games for the Wizards this season. He’ll get a chance with the Jazz summer league team in July. – 1:55 PM

I’ve gotten old enough that I hope I can leave an impact on others. I truly hope that when you hear me work you feel the love of the craft and passion for greatness and that propels you to find something in your life that lets you do the same.
Go Jazz. – 1:24 PM

Road schedule opened this season in Utah, where Jamal Murray smiled (despite the loss) in his first game back. Road schedule’s about to end with the No. 1 seed already in Denver’s back pocket and no need to play anyone today. (I’ll find out soon if they will). – 1:05 PM

My big feature on Lauri Markkanen is finally out!
How he got the skills to be Finland’s best-ever basketball player, the one phone call that changed it all, and why it all came together for him only this season:

Good morning. The Nuggets play in just a few hours because of the 24 hour rule on back-to-backs. Basically everybody’s playing at 1:30 tomorrow, so the latest the Nuggets-Jazz game is allowed to start today is 2:30. – 11:52 AM

Asked Kevin Durant about his friendship with Peyton Watson and what he sees in Denver’s rookie. He sees what everyone else has seen the last four games: an enthusiasm and hunger to get better.
“He has everything right now,” KD said.
