Outstanding 3-1 start to the season for the Hornets. Especially so when you consider they are missing two starters and a key frontcourt reserve. Charles Lee is a heck of a coach.

Career-high 39 points tonight for Brandon Miller — one week removed from his five-year, $209 million contract extension — in Charlotte’s win over Washington.
Brandon Miller's last 2 games: 39 points on 28 shots 34 points on 29 shots Hornets start the season 3-1. https://t.co/jXXwYA8wxz
Status alert: Sergio De Larrea (knee) won't return Monday.
It's incredibly fun when Payton Pritchard gets it going. He can, and will, shoot from anywhere when he's feeling it.
Giannis wants to snap the losing streak badly. He's been in monster mode tonight. Doing a lot of everything.
Cam Johnson (ankle) ruled out Monday.
Four fouls on both Jayson Tatum and Paul George. 7:15 to play in the third quarter. Celtics up 10.
Status alert: Alex Caruso (ankle) headed to locker room Monday.
GIANNIS. POSTER. https://t.co/jtqYxELoLB
Damn did Giannis ever do the Go Gadget Arm dunk there! Wow!
Status alert: Sergio De Larrea (knee) doubtful to return Monday.
Jaylin Williams with the kindest turnover in NBA history https://t.co/THJMbaad9T
A lot is falling on Brandon Miller with Kon Knueppel and Coby White out, so he hasn't been overly efficient, but he's been really good. He's up to the moment of carrying the team.
Lineup alert: Grizzlies will start Jerome, Coward, Wells, Boozer, Edey on Monday.
Lineup alert: Jazz will start George, Peterson, Bailey, Markkanen, Jackson Jr. on Monday.
Awesome half for Hugo Gonzalez. He's been a factor on both ends of the floor so far tonight.
Charles Bassey (knee) listed available to play Monday.
Gui Santos (knee) listed available to play Monday.
Brandon Williams (back) listed available to play Monday.
Karim Lopez (knee) available Monday.
Isaiah Stewart (ankle management) available Monday.
All three of the Celtics bigs, Robinson, Queta and Garza, are very good about sprinting down the middle of the floor in transition. If they don't get a layup/dunk, it almost always opens up a shooter by pulling the defense into the paint.
Caleb Wilson has some real craft in his finishing package already. He's going to be so good. This rookie class is awesome.
Lineup alert: Rockets will start VanVleet, Thompson, Durant, Smith Jr., Sengun on Monday.
Lineup alert: Hawks will start McCollum, Alexander-Walker, Daniels, Johnson, Okongwu on Monday.
If the Wolves keep looking this good, I'm dangerously close to packing up and moving the family to Minnesota. It's not really THAT cold, right?
Jaxson Hayes (shoulder) listed out Monday.
Good, quick swing pass by Hugo Gonzalez. Followed it with a nice crash of the glass for his first bucket of the season.
Status alert: Justin Champagnie (foot) won't return Monday.
