Lineup alert: Spurs will start Fox, Harper, Castle, Vassell, Wembanyama on Friday.
Status alert: Jalen Duren (hamstring) headed to locker room Friday.
Status alert: Cooper Flagg (Shoulder) won't return Friday.
The Mavericks say Cooper Flagg (left shoulder) will NOT return in the second half tonight at Indiana. Flagg did not start the second half after racking up 14 points, five rebounds, six assists and three blocks in helping Dallas build a 77-43 first-half lead at Indiana.
I wonder how many people had the Mavs blowing out the Pacers in Indiana tonight. This one has been a blowout from the jump. Hawks up big on the Hornets too. Some blowouts around the league here early this season so far.
Steven Adams (calf) listed available to play Friday.
Status alert: Paolo Banchero (ankle) has returned to Friday's game.
Status alert: Paolo Banchero (ankle) has returned to Magic's bench Friday.

Lineup alert: Warriors will start Curry, Podziemski, Santos, Lendeborg, Green on Friday.
Kerr: Brandin Podziemski (back) will start Friday.
Reed Sheppard (knee) listed out Friday.
Disappointing for the Magic to be down 12 at the half when Anthony Edwards can't make a shot. Too many turnovers for Orlando and, as per usual, the Magic can't make a three.
Like an Aes Sedai, the ball cannot lie.
I'm going to keep bringing this up for a bit: Neemias Queta should start with Mitchell Robinson coming off the bench. Queta earned that starting spot last year. Robinson has been awesome off the bench. Feels like both guys would be better in those roles.
Udoka: Reed Sheppard (knee) unlikely to play Friday.
I love how quick the Celtics are playing tonight. They aren't sprinting or anything, but they are getting the ball up the floor and getting into stuff quickly. Boston did this against Detroit too, then the Pistons ball pressure and raised pickup points changed in the second half.
Dear NBA broadcasters: The standard high sideline camera view is all we need for live action. Save the fancy views for replays. Thanks! All NBA Fans
Mitch Johnson on Spurs' 3-guard starting lineup: "It's one of those things where sometimes you just need to give things time. Whether you grow flowers or plant things in the yard, sometimes you look every day, there's not much to look at. You just need to give it some time." https://t.co/LnHJbhMt0W
Keldon Johnson (mouth) available to play Friday.
De'Aaron Fox (wrist) available to play Friday.
Lineup alert: Heat will start Mitchell, Thompson, Wiggins, Giannis, Adebayo on Friday.
Lineup alert: Pistons will start Cunningham, Robinson, Thompson, Collins, Duren on Friday.
Caleb Wilson was a lot better in his second game than his first. That's what you want to see. Love how aggressive he was on both ends of the floor. Made some real winning plays down the stretch.
