Detroit’s Isaiah Livers came into this game shooting 26% from 3, but is 3 for 4 from distance in his 8 bench minutes tonight. Similar thing happened with Beverley and Morris in Philly on Monday.
LAL still lead 42-27. – 7:44 PM

CJ McCollum is AVAILABLE for tonight’s game vs. Philadelphia
Trey Murphy III and Matt Ryan are OUT – 7:22 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
In 435 minutes playing with Embiid, Tyrese Maxey has 81 assists to just 9 (!) turnovers. That’s absurd.
When the Sixers’ big man is out of the game, Maxey is averaging 45.3 points per 100 possessions, nearly 40% of the team’s points. Also absurd.

#NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals losers play each other Dec. 8.
Say Phoenix #Suns fall Dec. 5 to L.A. Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in L.A.
They’d play Sacramento-New Orleans loser.
If it’s Pelicans, it’ll be in New Orleans.
If it’s Kings, it’ll be in Phoenix. pic.twitter.com/f9Gv6AKTOu – 5:29 PM
