With Luka out tonight against the Suns, Kidd said of Jalen Brunson: “We want Jalen to stay in character and be himself, and play the game that he’s played all season. We’re going to call on Trey Burke and Frank (Ntilikina) to handle the ball tonight and see how they do.” – 9:25 PM

It’s hard to explain just how versatile of a player Jae’Sean Tate is. Extremely underrated two-way skillset. – 9:23 PM

“He’s way better than I am.” #Mavs coach Jason Kidd when I asked him how much does he see himself in Chris Paul late in his career.
Paul (10,408) is 3rd all-time in assists behind Kidd (12,091) and John Stockton (15,806). #Suns pic.twitter.com/OpJct3I4aM – 9:12 PM

Kidd: Not just Brunson needs to step up. “We’re going to call upon Frank and Burke to handle the ball tonight.” – 8:40 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Interesting from Jason Kidd: When KP was out, Jalen started. When Luka is out, JB is starting. Said all he wants is for Brunson to stay “in character.” – 8:40 PM

Jason Kidd’s update on Luka Doncic (sprained left knee and ankle): “LD is getting treatment, so we’ll see how he’s doing tomorrow.” – 8:40 PM

Monty Williams on facing Luka-less Mavs: “When we looked at the lineups when Luka wasn’t on a floor, we saw a level of efficiency that demands attention.” He called Brunson a “different kind” of facilitator, noted that Porzingis was a No. 1 option in NY. – 8:20 PM

Miami’s first quarter …
– first 1st quarter where Miami never led this season
– 15-point deficit was largest faced by Heat in the first quarter this season (previous, 11 at Dallas)
– 13-point deficit is largest by after one quarter for Heat this season (previous, 6 at Dallas). – 8:12 PM

Saddiq Bey has made his 200th career 3-pointer tonight vs. IND, reaching the milestone in 84 games. Bey tied the third-fewest games by any player in NBA history to reach 200 3FGM (D. Robinson – 69, A. Edwards – 82, D. Mitchell/L. Doncic – 84). #Pistons

Yikes, the Spurs had their worst night of the season yesterday shooting the wide open 3.
San Antonio shot just 1/11 on wide open 3s. Half of their 3s were attempted wide open.
Previous season low was 3/13 against Dallas (23% acc). – 7:25 PM

Today’s availability also yielded among my favorite quotes of the year so far.
When I asked JaMychal Green about his skirmish in Dallas, he said he needed to start walking away to save some money.
Then he added: “Confrontation, it kind of excites me.”
