40+ point games this season: Luka Doncic - 4 Ty Jerome - 2 Anthony Edwards - 2 Everyone else combined - 7 https://t.co/kZ9kHb6B5i
Kevin Durant was asked about his lack of shots on Monday: "We won the game. Why are you singling me out?" "Are you just watching me all game? Do you have a solo cam on me?" Durant went 5-6 from the field in a 16-point win over Boston. https://t.co/flgkJZbLwM

As you'd expect, Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green get into it. Green threw Khaman Maluach to the ground to start the altercation. https://t.co/sInMe4j9Gl
Status alert: Jordan Goodwin (calf) won't return Monday.
Alperen Sengun this season: 23.3 PPG 8.7 RPG 7.8 APG 57% FG 54% 3PT Rockets are 6-0 when he plays. https://t.co/5tEAuRW8p9
Dillon Mitchell is the 534th player to appear in a game in Celtics franchise history.
Marcus Smart with a message to his old team after back-to-back 3s https://t.co/3V5OHnRi4N
I'm not even sure it's worth bringing Jayson Tatum back in this one. The Celtics legs look gone. Tough back-to-back with how hard the Rockets play and how good they are on defense.
Pelicans hand Grizzlies their first loss. Kings get first win against the Mavs. No remaining undefeated or winless teams this season. https://t.co/Ow3CHhtkjm
Marcus Smart is going to get a flopping technical tomorrow. He's doing some VERY Marcus Smart stuff tonight.
And then there were none. Kings get their first victory. Grizzlies take their first loss. All 30 teams in both columns.

TY JEROME AND-ONE FOR THE LEAD IN OT HE HAS 40 POINTS https://t.co/etXABDZwQZ
I can't even complain about Marcus Smart doing Marcus Smart stuff. You know it's coming.
The undefeated Grizzlies trailed by 9 with 1:55 remaining, then: Ty Jerome jumper Ty Jerome 3-pointer Ty Jerome floater Ty Jerome floater Jerome had 15 PTS in the 4th quarter. Headed to overtime. https://t.co/6NJCuJeXJ0
These Grizzlies are something else! Looked like the streak was definitely coming to an end, but they fought back to tie it. Let's see if the Pels have a streak-snapper drawn up.
imagine if nikola jokic did this https://t.co/16UYoiS3Vt
Payton Pritchard is a rough shooting slump right now. He's missing wide open triples, which is very rare for him.
Sengun is making some really high-level plays. That block on Hugo was outstanding. A couple of plays before, he had a really skillful finish on a late-clock baseline drive. Such a good player!
VJ Edgecombe in win vs. Bulls: 21 PTS 5 AST 9-12 FG +31 +/- His first 20-point game of the season. Sixers (7-1) have the best record in the East. https://t.co/ULT5UItjhL
Kings? Tonight...maybe?
Pacers only had 6 active players and took the Hawks to the final possession in a loss. This was the earliest into a season a team has used 6 or fewer players since 1948, per @BobbyMarks42, @StatsWilliams. https://t.co/7AIf75PQlI
Houston is a funny team. They have some incredible athletes. Then they have guys like Sengun and VanVleet who play at the pace of Sunday morning over-50 run at the YMCA. And it's all really effective!
Joe Mazzulla really experimenting with some stuff tonight. He's starting both Mitchell Robinson and Neemias Queta in the second half. Queta just knocked own another quorner three!
Lineup alert: Mitchell Robinson starts second half ahead of Hugo Gonzalez on Monday.
Really good win for the Thunder. That was MVP SGA in the second half.
Updated lineup alert: Raptors will start Quickley, Walter, Barrett, Barnes, Murray-Boyles on Monday.
SGA with 43 PTS and a clutch shot to snap OKC's two-game losing skid. Thunder haven't lost 3 games in a row since the 2023-24 season. https://t.co/9Wfsmf8C3O
Lineup alert: Raptors will start Quickley, Walter, Barrett, Barnes, Jackson-Davis on Monday.
