PMers: Are Commanders fans all in again after Sam Howell’s promising debut Sunday in Washington’s rout of the Cowboys? Is the rookie QB the guy? And who should decide if he’s the guy? In @TheAthletic:

Willie Green said Brandon Ingram has not been able to go through a full practice yet. Lui said they’re “hopeful” he will be able to practice on this trip. – 5:37 PM

Larry Nance (right shoulder soreness) will work out pregame before team sees if he can go, Willie Green says.
Green also said Brandon Ingram hasn’t gone through a full practice yet but they are hopeful that happens on this trip.
Pels will practice in Boston tomorrow. – 5:37 PM

If the Pelicans wish to stop their recent slide, winning the first 12 minutes against the Wizards may dramatically increase those odds.
New Orleans is 1-7 in road games when trailing at the end of the first quarter but 5-4 when leading. https://t.co/CB51Z2GpX1 pic.twitter.com/mTX5HXpGGs – 3:51 PM

Jose Alvarado ranks 1st in steals and 2nd in deflections on the NBA’s 5th-ranked defense. New Orleans’ defensive rating is 105.7 when he plays. He rises to 112.6 when he sits. The rare sub-6-foot defensive game changer. – 3:50 PM

#NBAAllStar | @MichelobULTRA – 3:30 PM

Delon Wright ranks near the top of the NBA in deflections per game and the Wizards have their lowest def rtg with him on the floor.

Commanders fan: you’re all in again, aren’t you? Youre all about Sam Howell! Washington’s rookie QB put some promising tape out on Sunday in the Commanders’ rout of the Cowboys. Is he the guy? And who should decide if he’s the guy? In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3Zj7vVD – 1:04 PM
