Paul Reed played well in a win vs Western Conf. Favorites the Clippers and was mostly benched since. Trez was great last game vs. Indiana. So it’s a Paul Reed night then tonight right? – 6:52 PM

The Blazers’ last game against Indiana a month ago was the last time they’ve beaten a team that was above .500 at the time they played them. And Indy didn’t have Tyrese Halliburton in that game. – 6:43 PM

1. MIA sends Dedmon to IND for Johnson’s non-guaranteed. Waive JJ. Promote Robinson from 2-way. Become player on buyout market.
2. IND flips Dedmon and McConnell, plus a 1st (or two) to WAS for Kuzma. Sign Kuzma to extension. Ideal fit.
3. WAS gets a PG, picks. pic.twitter.com/pWB9z6WQOD – 4:03 PM

You might have seen that the Mavs waived Kemba Walker or that the Spurs waived Gorgui Dieng & Noah Vonleh. That’s because non/partial guaranteed contracts in the NBA become fully guaranteed for the season soon.
Here’s how that deadline impacts the Pacers: forbes.com/sites/tonyeast… – 1:47 PM

The West is beginning to take shape.
The top 3 seeds (DEN, MEM, NOP) have 13 or 14 losses.
Seeds 4-9 (DAL, SAC, LAC, POR, PHX, GSW) have 17 to 19 losses.
Seeds 10-13 (UTA, MIN, LAL, OKC) have 21-22 losses.
Then there are SAS and HOU way down at the bottom. – 1:35 PM
