Wolves are putting Rudy Gobert in the spy role more and more often, sliding Kyle Anderson up to guard the opposing centre.
Last game Gobert was guarding Isaac Okoro while Anderson checked Jarrett Allen, and tonight Gobert is on Vanderbilt while Anderson is on Kessler. – 4:15 PM

After committing a whopping 18 turnovers during Saturday’s loss to Minnesota, #Cavs had 10 miscues in the first half vs. Pelicans. New Orleans turned those into 16 points the other way. These lengthy, athletic, pesky opponents seem to give Cleveland problems. – 4:11 PM

Kristaps Porzingis is now up to 23 pts (7-10 FG) in 16 min. 2nd-most he’s scored in a single half since joining the Wizards. Still 2:16 until halftime. – 4:04 PM

Trey’s treys must be prioritized.
Excluding centers, only Kevin Durant, Lauri Markkanen, Stephen Curry, Grant Williams, Zion Williamson & Aaron Gordon have a higher TS% than Murphy among regulars. Plus when Trigga racks up the attempts, the Pelicans win. https://t.co/TBTvw8mDjK pic.twitter.com/44XzJoFGtk – 1:18 PM

The Clippers are interested in trading for Mike Conley, as @Marc Stein reported. As I wrote in my latest NBA trade guide for @Jorge Sierra, the Clippers are a team that could probably get in the mix for a veteran guard like Conley. More below.
