Jacque Vaughn on the Nets’ defense:
“The consistency hasn’t been there… There’s a standard that I want these guys to be able to play with on a nightly basis no matter who’s playing. So that was my frustration the other night. Tonight, we’ll play with that standard on both ends… – 6:39 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Jonathan Isaac (right ankle sprain) has been listed as available. But the @OrlandoMagic will monitor him through pregame warmups/layup lines before making final decision if he’ll play in tonight’s road game against the Brooklyn Nets. – 6:38 PM

Jacque Vaughn said Ben Simmons has been doing “low-level stuff” and has not yet progressed to sprinting:
“The epidural was just a part of his getting back to playing. That is a part of his treatment, a part of his strengthening… [He’s had] no setbacks. Right now, he is still… pic.twitter.com/5Dd8MhOS9N – 5:34 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said Ben Simmons received the epidural shot within the past week, and that he’s still not running full-speed. Reiterated the next update would be in a couple of weeks. – 5:22 PM

Out of the 67 players that have run 200 pick and rolls this year. Paolo Banchero has the lowest per chance efficiency and Chris Paul is 62nd. Didn’t expect those two near the bottom – 5:08 PM

Dorian Finney-Smith has been close to automatic on his 3-point attempts this season. Will that efficiency earn him a new contract with the Nets?
