The Kings beat Golden State last night for their 3rd straight and Tyrese is back in the groove (D'Aaron Fox even more so lately; he had 44 in the game). They're only 2 games behind the Warriors for 10th place in the West so with the expanded playoff format, they're not out of it.

Haliburton's final line: 34 MIN, 21 PT, 7-11 FG, 6-7 3PT (lawdhavemercy), 1 AST and 1 TO. (What happened to his usual buffet of assists, steals and blocks?).

Hali's 2018 classmate in LA doesn't seem to be getting more playing time with LeBron out and the Lakers are dropping Ls everywhere. Kind of a cold one for Talen Horton-Tucker last night in an 8-pt loss to Philly: 19 MIN, 3 PT, 1-6 FG, 0-2 3PT, 1-1 FT, 3 REB, and 2 AST.

Utah and Jazz facing off tonight. Wouldn't it be awesome if all 3 guys got on the court in that one.

In the real world, Niang will play and Nader is still out with a bum knee (it seems like he always has these stretches in which he gets hurt and then has to work his way back into the rotation). And Matt might not even be with the Jazz yet.
Lol. You might want to edit this.

Georges handles press questions about Matt Thomas - kind of a fun watch. He talks about their ISU days a bit. He's clearly - forgive me - jazzed to have Matt joining him in Utah.

Edited to add a missing stat in red.

Cyclones in the NBA ... last night:

Nader out of action for Phoenix, which squeaked out a win vs. Ice Man-less Toronto. I keep thinking he'll be back for the next one but Monte again missed Denver's game; the Nuggets needed a strong 2nd half in a comeback win vs. N. Orleans.

Strongest performance of the night was Talen Horton-Tucker, who tied for the lead in minutes played and the Lakers got a rare win without their two HOFers. THT's numbers; 32 MIN, 15 PT, 6-11 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-4 2PT, 3 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL and 2 TO.
Facilitating:



Georges and the Jazz jumped out to an early big lead and held on for a 3-pt win over Memphis. Georges hit a shot right off the bench in the 1st half but didn't take another one: 13 MIN, 3PT, 1-1 FG, 1-1 3PT and 1 REB.

For being a pretty minor trade, the Jazz marketing people have played up this connection quite a bit (which is great but not as great as actual playing time, which might be hard to come by for Matt).

  • Monte Morris (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Hawks.
    Michael Malone continues to hint that Morris is getting close, but tonight will be his ninth consecutive game on the sidelines. With the addition of Aaron Gordon, it's tough to see Morris returning to the role he had prior to going down, so there's not much incentive to hold him.

He did get 6 minutes but went 0-3 against Memphis. :(

Warms my heart to see #21 and #31 working together again. Maybe the 9 mop up minutes will help Matt get his mojo back.
