Kyrie Irving needs go 13-19 from the floor ( or some derivative of 68.4% or better) in the last two games in order to produce his 2nd 50-40-90 season. He would join Steve Nash (4x) Larry Bird and Kevin Durant, as the only ones to do it twice. – 3:43 PM

Despite his numbers dipping to career lows off bench, Russell Westbrook ranks top 10 in FG% allowed as defender and Clips are shooting 55% off his passes – 2nd to LeBron.

If the Lakers never win another title with LeBron on the roster, there will obviously be many legit reasons. But the Westbrook trade is clearly #1 w/a bullet, because it was a move that left no margin for error. It’s frankly a miracle they’ve unwound the damage this well. AK – 3:10 PM

Suns 80.6% FT shooting team.
Big 3: Booker 88.5%, Durant 85.3%, Beal 80.3%.

Tyronn Lue wants this game — and he’s going to need his defense to be more attentive off ball. Bad help and late rotations are freeing up Suns shooters, and T. Lue is getting in on them.

Clippers list Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation), Paul George (left knee soreness) and James Harden (right foot inflammation) as out tonight in second of back to back against Phoenix.
Russell Westbrook (left hand contusion) and Ivica Zubac (left ankle) are questionable. – 2:16 PM

#Pelicans win at Portland on Tuesday moved them back into sixth place in West, a game ahead of Suns. As a result, New Orleans now controls its own destiny over final three games of season, but opponents all sport winning records. Article: neworlns.co/3TTfsin pic.twitter.com/yY1eDahrbo1:45 PM

There is a growing buzz around Frank Vogel’s job security as the Suns’ head coach.
If Phoenix is unable to make it out of the first round, Vogel could lose his job after just one season.
The Suns are 13-11 since the All-Star break ranking No. 15 in net rating.

With five 3s last night, CJ McCollum became the 21st player to hit 500 3s w/ two different teams.
He has 500 w/ the Pels and 1,297 w/ the Blazers.
He joins Paul George (three teams), LeBron James, Wesley Matthews & Buddy Hield as active players to do so.

Kevin Durant on Suns’ accountability: “We talk about the game, we talk about what we need to do better. But we’re not putting the blame on 1 player or we’re not putting the blame on anybody. I guess that’s what the fans want us to do is place blame. But we win or lose as a team.” pic.twitter.com/muvHGZDtqt1:05 PM

Pelicans Playoff Picture:
– win 1 of remaining 3 gms, will finish no worse than 7th
– finish with more wins than Suns while winning at least 1 more gm, will finish no worse than 6th
– only path to 5th: Pels win out/Mavericks lose out
– lose all remaining 3…let’s not ponder it – 12:56 PM

Eighteen different franchises have already participated in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament in its first three full seasons. That number will rise to 21 if Philadelphia, Phoenix and Sacramento stay where they are in the current standings.

With one more win or a NO loss, Mavs will lock in a 4-5 match with the Clippers. A Mavs win will mark the 1st time since 2019 that a pair of 50 win teams will face off in the 1st round. Of course 2 of those years were lost to the pandemic shortened schedule – 8:26 AM
