Chris Fedor: #Cavs Donovan Mitchell is AVAILABLE. Jaylon Tyson is OUT.

Danny Cunningham: #Cavs list Donovan Mitchell (left eye contusion) and Jaylon Tyson (left great toe sprain) as questionable for tomorrow’s game against New Orleans. Jarrett Allen, Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor remain out.

Justin Russo: Final: Pelicans 105, Clippers 99. Missed free throws (Clippers shot 59% on 32 FTA), costly fourth-quarter fouls (10 FTA for New Orleans off of them), and ill-timed defensive decisions send the Clippers tumbling to 34-36. Rough trip so far. At Dallas on Saturday. Need to win it.

CJ McCollum's $30.7 million expiring contract, truth be told, landed him at the heart of the Young trade with Washington as much as anything, but he has played so much better than expected as a Hawk, building on his past playing experience alongside Daniels in New Orleans. I asked McCollum if he'd welcome the opportunity to re-sign with Atlanta in the offseason. "That’s not up to me, my friend," he answered. "It might be," I countered. "How so?" "You might have two situations you end up having to choose between." "What's the other situation?" "You know as well as I do that there's a lot that can change between now and June 30. Another team needs a scoring guard, offers the same amount ..." "I like it here, man," McCollum said. "I'm here for a reason. We'll see. But right now, it’s about playing winning basketball and building on what we've done and stack wins and stack winning habits."

In New Orleans, GCSEN content went to Gray-owned WVUE-TV Fox 8, which the Benson family had owned until 2013. Gray also had a number of affiliates (10+) in local markets like Lafayette (La.), Lake Charles (La.) and Birmingham (Ala.), and that regional spread gives the Pelicans a reach closer to the market size of Chicago, especially when a new DirecTV distribution deal kicked in. One thing was for sure: The dollars would certainly not be there at the start. Sources told SBJ that the Pelicans were making closer to $25 million annually toward the end of their Main Street media deal; now, they’re getting closer to $6 million.

Michael Grange: Collin Murray-Boyles expected to miss Raptors trip to Houston and New Orleans this week as they try to let his thumb settle down. Trayce Jackson-Davis (finger) ruled out vs. Rockets.
Doug Haller In his pregame media session, Suns coach Jordan Ott said he's going to refer to the Suns statement regarding the arrest of Dillon Brooks. Said his focus is on tonight's game against New Orleans.

Jose Alvarado: “No, New Orleans is dope. Especially for me. They treated me well and uh I made a career over there. You know, I made a name and they show super super love. So, it was dope for me. A great experience and you know, I experienced the playoffs over there. You know what I'm saying? We was winning.”
Oh No He Didn't: Zion: "New Orleans is home for me. I know people hear rumors hear different things. In the offseason I stay in New Orleans and just move around the city just getting to learn more about the culture. I've made a lot of friends there. New Orleans is really home for me. I want to do what I can to help New Orleans win. If you look at the impact Drew Brees had with winning a Super Bowl you're forever and who doesn't want to be forever?"

What was it like when you heard you’d be joining the Knicks? Jose Alvarado: Honestly, it was bittersweet. Obviously, I love New Orleans. It’s a situation I was comfortable in. But if I had to go anywhere, I’m glad it was New York. This is where I’m from. This is the culture I was raised by. I know how much the Knicks mean to everybody out here, including my family. Just to be a part of what these guys are building is dope.
