Bulls got their final six points to clinch tonight from the line — three-straight possessions of DeMar DeRozan getting fouled. Nuggets showed a ton of fight but will lose their third-straight with a two-game road trip to Phoenix and Portland looming. – 11:23 PM

Ok.
This has been a bad stretch of basketball here.
From Booker’s off target pass to Porzingis missing 11-foot jumper badly off the glass., thank goodness for Williams timeout.

Woo boy. Chris Paul step-back 3, Deandre Ayton swat at the rim, Devin Booker alley-oop to Mikal Bridges…if he had finished that, the roof might have gone off the building – 11:00 PM

Mikal Bridges still hasn’t missed tonight. He’s up to 6-for-6 and 15 points in 12 minutes – 10:58 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Bridges takes 1st shot since early 4-for-4 burst.
He’s now 5-of-5. #Suns up one – 10:54 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Cam Payne missing a week and DA putting JaVale in the starting lineup led to a pretty shaky start to the season, but it feels like the Suns’ bench is gonna figure it out here pretty soon – 10:49 PM

Mavericks outscored 9-4 in the final moments of the first quarter and trail 27-24 after one. Kristaps Porzingis with 10 points. Suns going for 11 wins in a row. Mavericks hoping to avert their first two-game losing streak of the season. – 10:42 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
A solid close to the quarter from the all-bench lineup. Suns up 3. Defense looks to be in a good position, with less rhythm for the Mavs compared to Wednesday. Feels like a second quarter Phoenix could snatch up control of the game in. – 10:41 PM

Michael Dugat @mdug
The moment McGee can no longer jump enough to finish alley-oops well the Mavs will acquire him … or some point after. – 10:41 PM

#Mavs having issues defending pick-and-roll so far tonight.
McGee again over the top catching lob pass this time from Shamet.

End of 1Q: PHX 27, DAL 24
Bridges: 10 Pts, 4-4 FG
Booker: 4 Pts, 2-7 FG
McGee: 4 Pts
Porzingis: 10 Pts, 2-3 3P – 10:41 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Devin Booker’s feeling feisty right now. He’s got 2 fouls, waved off getting taken out and has had an ongoing dialogue with the official about a couple no-calls. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a T here soon – 10:34 PM

Phoenix Suns @Suns
We see you, Mr. Bridges. 👌 pic.twitter.com/37s4cpCj5g – 10:33 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Two fouls on Booker. Waves off getting taken out of game. Still 3:29 left. #Suns – 10:32 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
When looking at certain pockets of the rotation, I think the Payne-Booker-Shamet-Johnson minutes are going to be really great for this team but they just haven’t gotten there yet. In 18 minutes it’s a +1. The CP3 + reserves and Booker + reserves numbers will both get better. – 10:31 PM

Rock and roll. 🎸

Current #Suns lineup: Booker, Payne, Shamet, Johnson and Ayton.
Thoughts? – 10:29 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
This pace is gonna be such a plus for the Suns in the playoffs if it holds up. CP3 is already getting downhill into ball screens with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. – 10:28 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Bridges has already taken four shots.
Made them all. 2-of-2 on 3s. 10 points.
Again. #Evolving.
#Suns up 16-14. Timeout #Mavs 6:18 left in 1st quarter. – 10:24 PM

Our coverage of Mavs and Suns is underway on BSSW. Phoenix won the opening game of these two straight on Wednesday 105-98. The Mavs play game #2 without Luka (left ankle and knee sprain). Phoenix has won 10 straight…longest win streak since 2009-10 season for them – 10:11 PM

FINAL: Memphis 74, WKU 62
Tigers get their first scare, but Penny Hardaway wisely shortened the rotation after halftime and Jalen Duren was ridiculously good (22 points, 19 rebs, 5 blocks). – 10:03 PM

“I thought he was going to the parking lot.”
Monty Williams on when Chris Paul was falling out of bounds when finding Deandre Ayton for a dunk late in the game Wednesday.
So I asked Williams if that’s his way of saying Paul got fouled.
“That’s your way of saying it.” #Suns – 8:50 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
37.
That’s the number of points #Suns scored in 4th quarter in Wednesday’s win over #Mavs.
That’s a no-no for Jason Kidd heading into tonight’s game. pic.twitter.com/1xF1oP2dOq – 8:49 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Monty Williams has said the Suns need to do a better job of finding looks for Cam Johnson, and at shootaround today, Cam said the shots have felt good leaving his hand. Think we might be in store for a big game from him soon pic.twitter.com/2LgUvb3VxX – 8:48 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
“I had an open mind.”
Monty Williams on the return of Deandre Ayton, who has posted back-to-back double-doubles of 22 and 12 at Minnesota and 19 and 13 vs. Dallas after missing six out of seven games (five in a row) with right leg contusion. #Suns pic.twitter.com/F55dr4FGmE – 8:34 PM

Hate to see that happen to Isaiah Stewart, he was in some serious pain. We’re about to see a lot of Luka Garza this half – 8:27 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Luka Garza is set to check into the game, but the concern is obviously with Stewart’s condition. – 8:26 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons’ only healthy center right now: Luka Garza – 8:25 PM

Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Memphis is on a turnover/minute pace through 8 mins and Penny Hardaway will have used his 11th player (Earl Timberlake) when we return from the 2nd media timeout of the night. Tigers nonetheless lead WKU, 17-14. – 8:21 PM

With no Luka Doncic tonight, it’s going to be another tough assignment for the Mavericks. Tough, but not impossible. Could be time for one of those drop-dead shooting nights from Tim Hardaway Jr. – 8:15 PM

Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Ok, Tim Hardaway Jr. is getting ready to have a big night tonight when the @Dallas Mavericks face the Suns. This is Tim draining jumper after jumper prior to tonight’s game. @NBA #Mavs pic.twitter.com/yjpPcf6qDV – 8:07 PM

Pelicans coach Willie Green called Paul George “one of the greats” pregame for his ability to thrive this season while taking on a heavier workload, a workload that began when Green (as a Suns asst) saw PG and the Clips in the WCF. – 6:25 PM

For @OddsCheckerUS I wrote about some early season surprises. Teams and players that are exceeding expectations thus far, including the Wizards, Clippers, Warriors, Cavs, Chris Paul, DeMar DeRozan, Ja Morant and Wendell Carter Jr.

Mavs go for the split in PHX. Same kind of fight and a little bit better late game execution are keys tonight as again they’ll play without @Luka7Doncic. Hope you’ll stay up late as @peasradio pre at 8:30. Tip w/Brad & me at 9:15 @theeagledallas – 4:37 PM
