Really tired from work today, might catch a Spurs game, but not sure. Watching Euroleague right now, moment of silence for Dejan before every Euroleague game this week.
Suns and Pels should be great game, I think Pelicans are flying, no pun intended, quite under the radar.

Miller's been out the last couple games, not sure he plays. And Wemby's out, he's still not allowed on b2b's and he'll play against the Wiz tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that was his request, he's been talking about this game against Bilal the past couple weeks. And there's a big french community in DC, the french embassy has given a lot of tickets on socials so they'd have been unhappy if Wemby sat, probably avoided a riot.

Screw it, if Wembanyama is out, I might just go to bed with clear continuous.

Is Jokic playing today? Since his close friend and coach Deki passed away?

He is not on the injury report and it seems like he will play

Oh hell. NBA tweeted that the game was a battle of top 2 picks and I didn't know any better. I've edited the OP.

Great way to honor him would be to win the game posting a ridiculous statline.

Celtics undefeated home record is going to be tested tonight, but of course they'll handle their business at the end of the day.

Siakam's first game as a Pacer, should be a fun one!

You know we suck, when I'm a Hornets fan and I haven't been watching our games lately.
Now I see why nobody talks about us. There is nothing to actually talk about we suck.

Do we know this for sure? I've been trying to find some kind of confirmation but I've come up empty. Of course, I could be looking at all the wrong places

I'd seen a tweet from Marc Stein saying he's playing an also something on Hoopshype that said he's playing.
But after reading your post I searched again and found this...
So I guess it's still up in the air as of now.

Is Ayton playing? That is the bigger question.
