Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Champagnie’s 4th-quarter coming out party vs OKC wasn’t perfect – he over-helped off Muscala on the possession that lost the game – but after hitting the go-ahead bucket (& nearly the winning tip-in) + his defence on Shai, he’s done more than enough to earn these 1st-quarter mins – 8:03 PM

Bunch of Bucks fans around Toyota Center. Not in Spurs or Lakers numbers but ample and conspicuous. Respect to the (not a frontrunner) guy in the Moncrief jersey near the baseline. – 7:56 PM

If you’re killing time before the Lakers tip-off in an hour, get over to ESPN2 for what should be a great FCS quarterfinal between Montana and James Madison. I am impartial, of course. – 7:02 PM

Our team is about 40 spots off from each other when ranking Russell Westbrook among NBA players.
It’s a completely different question but…
Salary aside, how many players could the Lakers trade Westbrook for straight up right now that would make them better? – 6:38 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Anthony Davis woke up with some knee soreness today, and Frank Vogel said he’s a question mark to play tonight. He’s going to work out on the court soon and test it out.
If he can’t go tonight, that means more Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan. – 6:35 PM

Frank Vogel says if Anthony Davis can’t go tonight, “Dwight and DJ will have much bigger roles.” – 6:33 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault says Derrick Favors brings “physicality” to the team, something young players often lack. Favors “brings a presence” to the game. Mentions how consistent, coachable, and professional he is. Says he has had a great impact on and off the floor. – 6:26 PM

StatMuse @statmuse
Players are shooting 46.7% when defended by AD this season, 1.3% *better* than their usual FG%.
A career-worst and the first time in his career players are shooting better when guarded by him.
Among the top 5 shots contester, he is the only one allowing positive FG% difference. pic.twitter.com/9ZvvUdObiO – 4:25 PM

The Thunder returns home from a successful 2-0 road trip to take on a familiar Los Angeles. The matchup marks the third meeting this season between the Thunder and the Lakers as OKC holds the 2-0 series edge thus far.

📅 On this day in 2008, the @Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony erupted for 33 points in the third quarter of a 116-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Anthony tied George Gervin’s NBA record for most points in a quarter. Their mark was later eclipsed by Kevin Love (34) and Klay Thompson (37). pic.twitter.com/OUsVWsPK8R – 2:01 PM
