Tonight’s Mavs vs. Celtics game is Luka’s 300th career game. Searching on @Stathead, he’s 9th in NBA history in total points scored in his first 300 games. Most recently passing LeBron (vs New York) & Shaq (Monday in Houston), and he’ll end up w/in 100 pts of Elvin Hayes for 8th. pic.twitter.com/ZPRzYhhTDj – 4:21 PM

Lauri Markkanen 7th in the first All Star voting returns which is pretty good. But look at the difference in number of votes between 6th and 7th pic.twitter.com/sFE3Xws3RE – 4:19 PM
