Can’t stress enough how impressive Max Christie is. More than his 23 points off the bench today, the young man has striking poise on and off the court — turns 22 in two days, when the Mavs host Sacramento. – 5:54 PM

#Rockets fall to Mavs, 116-105, extending their losing streak to 6. Fell behind by 21 in 1stH, got w/in 2 in the 3rdQ, ultimately unable to complete the comeback. Also Anthony Davis’ Mavs debut cut short by a lower body injury. Back in about 20 hours for Rockets-Raptors, 1p tip – 5:41 PM

Well down the rank of importance, but the NBA All-Star Game is a week from tomorrow and Anthony Davis appears to have re-aggravated the same injury that just kept him out for five games and more than a week.
For the Mavericks’ sake, hopefully it’s a minor tweak. He was listed as – 5:34 PM

Max Christie is gonna be a bigger part of the Luka trade than people thought.
Doesn’t remotely justify the trade but he’s good and he’s in a position to really grow there. – 5:27 PM

How’s this for Anthony Davis’ first quarter as a Maverick?
11 minutes, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 block, 6-of-8 shooting, including 1-of-1 on 3-pointers.
Mavs were plus-13 when Davis was on the court. – 3:35 PM

Rick Carlisle made clear pregame that Myles Turner is not in the concussion protocol; just a neck strain.

No AD, LeBron, Luka, Kléber, Williams, Wood for LAL. – 3:30 PM

I’m sure this was a motivational few days for Anthony Davis, not only getting traded but the strays he kept catching with all the (rightful) chatter about how bad the trade was. Thought that revenge arc got overlooked too much for Luka’s (and I get why). – 3:19 PM

First play of the game: A pindown for Thompson, who finds AD in the post. AD lobs it to Gafford.
A few moments later, Davis gets his first block as a Mav and this crowd erupts. Led to a dunk in transition for Washington. – 3:14 PM
