Of interest in the Western Conference, the Jazz lost to the Cavaliers for their fourth loss in a row and the Knicks snapped the Mavericks six game winning streak.

The Grizzlies are now in 3rd place in the West.

Ah crap! That could be a killer for us trying to get that number 1 seed.

This is one of the reasons I'm wanting to add another ball handler to rest Chris Paul or if he is out for other reasons.

Payne and Payton are not playing as well as I had hoped.

Cam Johnson and Ish Wainright are QUESTIONABLE.

Justin Jackson is back with the team.

Maybe a false positive. That is happening a lot these days. Also it seems that for many Omicron has a small window in which people test positive. So many people are not just not even bothering to get tested.

It will be interesting to see if the Suns use Justin Jackson and whether he gets backup minutes at the 3 or 4.

Monty may stick with Jalen Smith at the 4.

Jeremy Lamb will not play for Pacers.

Tom Chambers mentioned Ayton was wearing rib protection tonight and sure enough it looks like it.
