Tongue out for Bradley Beal after that CRAZY layup. – 8:27 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Bradley Beal is 9-for-43 (20.9%) from three to start this season. Plenty of good looks, including open catch-and-shoots, which he has long made for a high %. Just have to trust they will fall at some point. – 8:19 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Davis Bertans has a left ankle sprain and is questionable to return, the Wizards say. – 8:18 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Beal has gotten some very good looks and made fewer of them than one would expect. – 8:17 PM

Daniel Gafford just postered Clint Capela then hung on the rim like “Prince” in the Chapelle Show. – 8:13 PM

Hawks leading the Wizards, 34-23, after the first quarter.
A much-needed fast start for Atlanta.
Hawks shot 50% FG (10-20), 50% from 3 (4-8) and got to the line: 10-10. – 8:10 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Very good quarter for the Hawks. Offense looked crisp. Defense was locked in.
Capela: 8 points
Young/Gallinari: 6 points each
Team: 8 assists on 10 FG, 4/8 from 3 – 8:09 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards trail the Hawks by 11 after the first quarter. Wiz are 4-of-14 from three, shooting 33.3% overall. Beal has 8 points. – 8:08 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Atlanta ends the quarter on a 18-5 run and leads the Wizards 34-23 after one. Gafford started out with a five-min burst before heading to the bench. – 8:08 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Davis Bertans is not on the Wizards bench. – 8:07 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Duane Washington checks in for the final 10 seconds of the half and hounds the ball handler. It helps force a turnover, and the Pacers get the ball back with 5 seconds left. It leads to a Caris LeVert 3. Brilliant substitutions from Carlisle.
Pacers up 78-56 at halftime. – 8:07 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Bulls shot 5-21 from 3 in their last game (against Jazz)
Celtics shot 2-26 from 3 in their last game (against Wizards)
They combined to shoot 11-17 from behind the arc in the first quarter tonight. Bulls 7-9, Celtics 4-8 – 8:07 PM

Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
With his first bucket tonight, Cam Reddish has eclipsed the 1,000 point mark in the 91st game of his career (11.1 PPG). Cam is currently second on the team in scoring, putting in 16.2 PPG this season. – 7:53 PM

Jay Allen @PDXjay
Tony Snell went 2-2 from 3-pt. range in his first 5-minute stint as a Blazer. Keep in mind his 56.9% shooting (62-of-109) from the arc last season with Atlanta is the best mark in NBA history among players to attempt at least 40 three-pointers in a season. #RipCity – 7:46 PM

Daniel Gafford makes a tough layup in traffic, then blocks a shot on the next play. Guess he’s fine. – 7:42 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Kevin Huerter is inactive for the Hawks tonight. I’ve been told it’s “rest” related. He is not injured. – 7:33 PM
Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
Something I’m watching tonight in Wizards v. Hawks:
Both teams top-5 in rebounds (WAS 4th, ATL 2nd)…
Washington is 4th in the NBA with their starting center averaging 4 boards – FOUR!
Gafford is 6th on the team in rebounds behind Kuzma, Harrell, Beal, Dinwiddie, & Avdija. – 7:23 PM

Jimmy Butler named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Other’s nominated: Bam Adebayo (MIA), RJ Barrett (NYK), DeMar DeRozan (CHI), Kevin Durant (BKN), Darius Garland (CLE) and Montrezl Harrell (WAS) – 4:49 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
If the Wizards win tonight in Atlanta, they would improve to 6-1, which would be the franchise’s best start to a season since the NBA and ABA merged for the 1976-77 season. The 2005-06 Wizards and 1989-90 Bullets started their seasons 5-2. The 1974-75 Bullets started 7-0. – 4:49 PM

Montrezl Harrell was nominated for Eastern Conference player of the week. The award went to Jimmy Butler. – 4:16 PM

With referees enforcing foul rules differently this year, NBA games are averaging the fewest free throws (20.0/g per team) in the league’s 75-year history.
Interestingly enough, the Wizards are averaging the most (25.2/g) of any team. – 2:03 PM
