🏀Thursday Night Hoops🏀

WCJ with a tough and-1💪

Wendell Carter, Jr. would not be denied as he fights through two Mavs defenders for the finish and the foul. Paolo Banchero leads Orlando with 11 points on 5-for-8 shooting, and Anthony Black has chipped in 9 points and 2 dimes off the bench.

Max Christie and Brandon Williams each have 7 points in reserve roles to lead Dallas in scoring. Dallas holds a slight 40-39 lead with just under two minutes left in the second quarter.

J-Dub back for OKC⛈️

Jalen Williams makes his return for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight after missing the last seven games due to a hip injury. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe will most likely see less playing time with J-Dub back.

The Thunder host the Grizzlies as they aim to extend their win streak to eight ( 8 ET, League Pass ).

Okoro stuffs it home😤

Isaac Okoro has been a spark off the Cavs’ bench early, popping for 9 points on 4-for-5 shooting in nine minutes. De’Andre Hunter has matched ‘Ice’ with 9 points, adding 4 boards in seven minutes.

Donovan Mitchell leads all scorers with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in 14 minutes. Stephon Castle has 7 points, 5 rebounds (4 offensive) and an assist for the Spurs, but they trail the Cavs 46-36 with 6:11 remaining in the first half. Tune in now on NBA League Pass!

Pretty passing from Pacers😍

Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers have jumped out to an early double digit lead in Washington thanks to some slick passes. Hali leads the way with 14 points and 2 assists on 4-for-5 shooting from three.

Alex Sarr isn’t too far behind him with 11 points of his own for the Wizards, adding 4 boards in ten minutes of play. Indy pushes the lead to 41-24 with 1:16 left in the opening quarter.

First 🖐 for Mavs

Anthony Davis is active tonight after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks, meaning Kessler Edwards will see his minutes reduced. Naji Marshall is coming off a career-high 38 points on 17-for-25 shooting against New York.

If Dallas can earn a victory over the surging Orlando Magic, they’ll jump the Suns for the tenth seed in the West. Tip-off is set for 7 ET on NBA TV & League Pass.
