Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Before tipoff, Ty Lue told Zubac he should have “20 and 15” tonight against Houston. Zubac said he “didn’t have the right attitude” in the first game after the break, vs. the Lakers, and didn’t play in the last 18 minutes Friday. – 10:03 PM

Frank Vogel on McCollum, Ingram, Valanciunas being major threats for #Pelicans: “All three of them are horses. They can all beat you by themselves. (McCollum) is a great fit for them. The shift of him playing point guard is something that so far has really reaped benefits.” – 9:58 PM

Frustration challenge here by Jason Kidd. From our vantage point, Dwight Powell sent Canadian teammate Andrew Wiggins flying chasing after a loose ball. Very tough to overturn something like this. – 9:07 PM

I believe that’s Doncic’s 13th tech, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the NBA lead. That would mean Doncic is 3 techs away from an auto-one-game suspension. – 8:41 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Luka Doncic is now tied with Carmelo Anthony for the most technical fouls this season with 13. He’s three shy of a one-game suspension, which he vows will not happen. – 8:41 PM

Jazz already up to 10 second-chance points. That was an issue against New Orleans as well. – 4:28 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers (31-31) were last over .500 on January 3, before losing to the Timberwolves.
Since then, Clippers have lost their last five chances to get over .500 (at Phoenix, at New Orleans, at Miami, at Indiana, vs Bucks)
They get another chance tonight at Houston to end February. – 4:26 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Johnson somehow took the ball from Danuel House Jr. from behind and scores off glass.
Fouled.
