Deandre Ayton has 8 points and 3 rebs in 33 minutes without CP3 or Book in this game. – 12:37 AM

Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Cam Johnson has scored a career-high 29 points and there’s still over 4:00 left in Suns-Knicks. I wonder why there were no props available on Phoenix’s top reserve at any book where you can find that type of action. Hmm..🤔 – 12:28 AM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
It was always going to be interesting to see who would step up the most without Paul/Booker and the undeniable answer right now is Cam Johnson – 12:11 AM

The Cam Johnson-Deandre Ayton pick-and-roll fascinates me. They’ve quietly had some nice chemistry the couple of times they’ve run it lately, and it’s the type of thing to build on during this stretch without CP3 and Book – 10:57 PM

More on this storyline

Tim Bontemps: The Nets say Steve Nash has cleared the league’s health and safety protocols and will coach tomorrow’s game in Boston against the Celtics. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / March 5, 2022

Kristian Winfield: Steve Nash has not cleared the health and safety protocols yet, so Jacque Vaughn will be talking after practice today. Nash has yet to post 2 consecutive negative COVID-19 tests, but today is Day 6, so he is expected to return for tomorrow’s matchup against the Celtics. -via Twitter @Krisplashed / March 5, 2022

A quick aside: According to a source, the prospect of playing the Raptors in the postseason was one of the reasons James Harden was concerned about Kyrie Irving’s vaccine status earlier in the season. Harden, as you know, forced a trade from Brooklyn to the Philadelphia 76ers prior to the deadline. -via SportsNet New York / March 4, 2022
