Man if you combined Gobert’s defense, Whiteside’s touch around the rim, and Greg Monroe’s passing you’d have one hell of a player. – 10:18 PM

Jazz with an 18-11 lead over the Lakers with 6:12 left 1Q. Don with a quick 8p on 3-3 shooting. Not a ton of defense yet from the Lakers. We’ll see how soon they go small, as coach Frank Vogel noted pregame that Utah has trouble with smallball lineups. – 10:13 PM

Per Jazz on Hassan Whiteside:
MRI/CT scans confirmed Hassan Whiteside has a minor bone spur fracture. He can proceed, as tolerated.
essentially it’s a bone spur that will heal on its own and he can play as long as he can stand it – 9:37 PM

The @Utah Jazz announce that Hassan Whiteside has a small bone spur that will heal on its own, and he can “proceed, as tolerated.”
Essentially, sounds like it will heal by itself, and it’s just a matter of pain tolerance.

Poll for Lakers Twitter: would you feel better or worse about the team’s future if Dennis Schroder had accepted his four-year, $84 million extension offer?
Keep in mind this likely precludes a Westbrook trade. Fill in all other details yourself. – 9:01 PM

Utah has lost 5 straight, but Snyder said they’re 30-11 when they have their full rotation, which should be available tonight (aside from backup C Hassan Whiteside).

Offense clicking early for Clippers. Every starter has a field goal, and Marcus Morris Sr. already has more buckets and points (2/2 FGs, 5 points) than he had Tuesday vs Jazz (1/6 FGs, 3 points)

Patty Mills with a 3 and the fist pump. Nets lead the Bucks 50-39 with 6:37 left in the first half. Nic Claxton is 4-for-4 and just had a nasty putback dunk. He’s missed two shots since the win over Utah on March 21. Pretty good 10 days for him. – 8:11 PM

Random tweet #3. I don’t envy media members choosing All-NBA this year. LeBron is amazing but his team sucks. Top 3 players all play some or mostly at center. Everyone guards everyone now, more or less. Siakam and Tatum have been elite for months now, after rougher starts. Hard. – 4:30 PM
