Does trading Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Poku, Tre Mann, and picks make sense? bullswire.usatoday.com/2024/01/20/nba… pic.twitter.com/dHMkFnTkWx6:51 PM

Grizzlies’ injury list is a long one: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Derrick Rose, Marcus Smart, Brandon Clarke listed as out vs. #Bulls tonight.
That makes West Chicago HS grad John Konchar a likely starter. He has 3 starts this season, including Memphis’ last game vs. Min – 6:42 PM

I’m having a lot of fun imagining new Herb Jones teams even if I really doubt the Pels trade him.
Would love to see the Pacers go all the way in and get him too.
He’d be absolutely perfect for the Kings as well.
His contract is good enough for OKC to say “fuck it, why not?” – 5:56 PM

OKC played a lot of zone against the Wolves last time they played — this 1-2-2 matchup zone look. And I assume they’ll run it a bunch again tonight.

Wolves gotta be super aware of cutters against OKC tonight — everyone on OKC can do it and almost everyone on their team is good at it.
It’s a big “where’s Rudy?” matchup. Like, Gobert is actually cool on this switch, so gotta focus more on cutters than help. But, if Gobert is… pic.twitter.com/GTq0Ujlnmn3:05 PM

Lu Dort is available vs the Wolves tonight.
Dort missed the Jazz game on Thursday due to an illness. – 2:53 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The Thunder are going to guard KAT with a wing and double him in the post.
This is KAT doing a good job against that in their last matchup against OKC — going quick and going away from the double, not through it. Then the spacers do a good job of trusting ball movement, moving… pic.twitter.com/NX4rYDwhl82:48 PM

Lu Dort (illness) is now listed as available for tonight against Minnesota. – 2:48 PM

these three deserve to be in the All-Star game. 🌟
