LeBron on the looking-healthier Jarred Vanderbilt of late: “His activity alone helps our ball club … he’s starting to get healthier and healthier … his quick twitch … rebounding, defending, picking up full court, you can’t do that with a bad heel.” – 11:32 PM

Kidd says it’s unclear whether the Mavericks will still play Golden State on Friday. If the game gets postponed, it’s Kidd’s understanding that the Mavericks would return to Dallas tomorrow instead of going on to San Francisco. – 11:15 PM

Same starters for the Lakers, against a Mavs lineup that skews offensively as well as Tim Hardaway Jr., typical sixth man, starts in place of Josh Green (who’s been starting for also injured Dante Exum).
THJ joins Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, Derrick Jones Jr. + Dereck Lively. – 8:05 PM

Headband Luka is here. We just need former Laker Girl Paula Abdul to continue the ‘80s theme. Before anyone asks, yes, I’m old enough to remember her as a Laker Girl. pic.twitter.com/xeUm7es2XR – 7:35 PM

Jason Kidd on the top of the Dallas scouting report: “AD is playing at a high, high level and we have to do our best at slowing him down.”
Davis is also atop every opposing coach’s scouting report on the defensive end, of course. He’s the primary problem with which to contend. – 7:07 PM

Mavs coach Jason Kidd on whether Luka will have a minutes restriction vs Lakers: “No more than 48.” Kidd then turned serious said it’s unlikely Luka will play the full 1st quarter, but added, “we’ll see.” – 7:07 PM

Kidd says he isn’t sure if Doncic will play entire first quarter, as usual. Staff will monitor how Doncic looks on the court. – 7:06 PM

Darvin Ham liked what he saw from the 9-man rotation against OKC on Monday. Can expect some continuity with that going into the Mavs game. Lakers are going in assuming Luka Doncic (listed as questionable after missing the last 3 games) will play, but no official update there yet. – 6:57 PM

Some TV duty for your boy in advance of Mavs-Lakers. Will Join Mike Leslie on Ch 8 for a quick hit, as they have the national telecast and Chris Miles of @NBATV. The former will be recorded, the latter, live. Both should be airing about 6:45, then check us out on @971TheFreak – 6:26 PM

If I was the Raptors I would trade Chris Boucher and Jalen McDaniels to create cap space. Then I’d draft Bronny James. Then I’d sign LeBron.
