Jarrett Allen has utterly dominated Jakob Poeltl tonight. He's completely unplayable at this juncture.

A truly woeful game from Jakob Poeltl on both sides. The Raptors are trying to make him useful offensively as a screener/hub but it's cramming the paint. Defensively been just as troubling. They'll need to ride their rookie for the rest of this half imo

All these guys now have 3 fouls apiece midway through the second quarter. #Cavs would be wise to keep targeting them.

@ChrisFedor: Three of the Raptors five starters are currently in foul trouble before the first quarter has even ended. Jamal Shead, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl all have two fouls.

Luka Samanic scored a season-high 22 points to help the Utah Jazz snap a 13-game losing streak with a 124-121 victory over the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

Luka Samanic is now out as well for the Utah Jazz

Apple Valley's own fillin it up

@KCJHoop: Tre Jones has third 30-point game of his career and is 3 points shy of his career-high of 34

RT: We are losing the plot when this is how blog boys talk to Hall of Famers.Pretty f*ckin' lame given DeMar DeRozan's story coming up + the mental health stuff he's spoken on.From what I gather, been nothing but gracious with young players, media, fans, etc.To be frank, this would you laughed out the room with coaches and players. Make sure this nonsense stays on Spreadsheet / Useless Acronym Twitter. Basketball is more jazz and abstract art than binary notation.Stats (or data, to put it better) have their place, but there are dozens of variables that will always be imperfectly accounted for. Honestly, it's funny how simple the explanation for this is:1. DeRozan's teams were still good with him on the court in his prime2. His on-offs are less than stellar because he was staggered with Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors had an elite bench End of rant, good riddance

The Kings have ruled DeMar DeRozan (right hamstring) out for Friday's home finale vs. Warriors in Sacramento. Russell Westbrook (toe) and Keegan Murray remain sidelined as well as the other notables out for the season.

RT: Just randomly looking into this but DeMar DeRozan is only about 2000 points away from being a top 10 scorer in NBA history. Seems pretty gettable. That'd be cool.

Keldon Johnson is +75000 to win Finals MVP.He just took a big step towards it.

Keldon Johnson has had some brutal fouls in this second half. Hands full of jersey on the perimeter, then pushing Mitchell Robinson ... WHY.

Keldon Johnson's offensive foul wipes out Victor's triple. Instead it's now 100-93. Wonder if that's a turning point

The Houston Rockets are singing Cameron Reynolds for the remainder of the season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Reynolds has appeared in three games for the Spurs playing a total of six minutes and scoring two points. With that being said, this will have no fantasy impact so feel free to continue about your day.

Cameron Reynolds has agreed to a 10-day deal with the Spurs.

Reynolds will essentially have a 10-day tryout to see if the Spurs want to keep him around a bit longer, but it's unlikely he'll provide any meaningful fantasy value.

Cam Reynolds has agreed to a two-way contract with the Bucks.

Reynolds went undrafted in 2018 and has played 19 games in the NBA, averaging 5.0 points on 42.3% shooting, 1.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.3 steals in 13.6 minutes with the Wolves last year. He's likely to spend the bulk of this season in the G League.

Can also confirm through league sources that the Philadelphia 76ers are declining a team option on Lonnie Walker IV….this move is rather expected because the Sixers need every dollar they can get

The Philadelphia 76ers are declining guard Lonnie Walker IV's team option worth $2.9 million, making him a free agent, sources tell ESPN. Walker averaged 12.3 points, 23.8 minutes and 35.4% 3-point shooting in 20 games for the 76ers last season.
