The Pacers announce that they have picked up the team option on Goga Bitadze’s contract for the 2022-23 season. I wrote about the considerations for that decision here: forbes.com/sites/tonyeast… – 7:16 PM

Last Pacer off the court from warmups: Caris LeVert. He looks sharp and ready to go.
He’ll play in bursts and they’ll watch his minutes closely. pic.twitter.com/sYRXN37zLF – 7:01 PM

The league announced Kevin Durant has been fined $25,000 for “forcefully throwing the game ball into the spectator stands” in the 3rd quarter against the Indiana Pacers on Oct. 29 at Barclays Center. – 6:41 PM
JD Shaw @JShawNBA
The Pacers are listing Caris LeVert (back) as available to play in tonight’s game. – 6:38 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Not much new out of pre-game chinwag with N. Nurse
Same Raptors starters in Indy, need energy from bench on second night of back-to-back, and so on and so forth – 6:33 PM
Sam Amick @sam_amick
The league announces a $25,000 fine for Kevin Durant for his impression of Tom Brady in yesterday’s Nets game against Indiana. The ball, of course, went into the stands at a pretty rapid rate. – 6:16 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Same starters for the Raptors: VanVleet, Trent, OG, Barnes, Achiuwa. – 6:05 PM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Pacers forward Caris LeVert is available to make his season debut tonight, Coach Rick Carlisle says. – 5:57 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
No Brogdon for Indy but LeVert returns and will make his season debut vs the Raptors tonight (but on a minute restriction). – 5:53 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Caris LeVert is IN tonight against the Raptors. Season debut time. – 5:52 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
No Malcolm Brogdon for the Pacers tonight. – 5:52 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Just in: Caris LeVert returns tonight vs the Raptors. Pacers are 1-5 to start this season without him due to a sore back.
Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is out. pic.twitter.com/e9YBx9pyWR – 5:52 PM

Texas lost again? They should’ve opted out of the 2021 season like Indiana did – 3:30 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
No incorrect calls in the last two minutes of Raptors-Magic, says the L2M report. – 3:21 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Also: The thing I always hate abt Michigan’s late-season matchups is that OSU is sitting here documenting each thing UM struggled w here. I remember Indiana carving us up with crossing routes, then OSU doing it. Today, it’s MSU quick snaps. OSU will use it, too. – 3:15 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers are exercising the rookie scale team option for Goga Bitadze’s fourth season worth $4.7 million, league source tells @FieldhouseFiles. – 2:28 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
Brogdon doubtful for Pacers tonight vs. Raptors. LeVert questionable. Siakam and Watanabe remain out for Toronto. Both teams will have some tired legs, though Raptors have well-rested Dragic in reserve for tonight if needed. – 2:02 PM
Mark Montieth @MarkMontieth
The Pacers’ final personal link to their ABA roots has fallen off the scene. Bob Bernath, who worked the first game in 1967 and has held courtside duties ever since, has been squeezed out by the loss of seating in @GainbridgeFH. These things happen and there’s no reason for … – 2:00 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
The Raptors are +29 in Dalano Banton’s 68 minutes. His +29 leads all rookies. – 1:57 PM

Last night’s easy to write on deadline game: Barnes, Trent lead Raptors over Suggs, pesky Magic torontosun.com/sports/basketb… – 1:49 PM

Interesting but intuitive result from this week’s NFL tie leverage charts.
For the Colts, a tie is worth just 0.29 as much as a win. But for their opponent, the Titans, a tie is worth 0.76.
A tie would give TEN the H2H tiebreaker over IND, having beaten them once already. pic.twitter.com/yRUGzm9AzW – 1:38 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers guard Caris LeVert (sore back) listed as questionable for the third straight game. Malcolm Brogdon (left hamstring strain) is doubtful tonight vs Raptors. – 1:33 PM
