Back-to-back 3s from Brandon Boston and the Clippers are up 22-15 (3:37, 1st). – 10:28 PM

Brandon Boston Jr. has five quick points for the Clippers. Like that move by Ty to substitute Luke’s offensive potential for Boston, while playing the rook alongside Zubac, Morris, PG, to mitigate his defensive shortcomings. – 10:28 PM

Facing a Trail Blazers roster with only a handful of healthy players has been, so far, just what a sputtering Clippers offense has needed. 10-0 LAC run to lead 14-8. Clippers 6-8 shooting. – 10:21 PM

Clippers are on a 10-0 run, and Jusuf Nurkic (scorer of first two Portland field goals) is in foul trouble.
14-8 Clippers lead through first 5 minutes of tonight’s game – 10:21 PM

Nurk picks up two fouls — one on each end — in under a minute and that’ll bring in Cody Zeller early in the first quarter – 10:19 PM

Surprised they didn’t review this last Nurkic offensive foul. Caught Morris right in the face with an elbow. Wonder if league will upgrade to a flagrant-1 when they look at the tape tomorrow; replay looked … not great. – 10:17 PM

Gotta love the deflated reaction that happens when the pre-game hype video is immediately followed by the home team introducing Tony Snell and Dennis Smith Jr as the starting backcourt. Feels like there ought to be a seven-syllable German word for this. – 10:11 PM

Joel Embiid was as dominant as he has been all season on Monday, and the Sixers escaped with a win over Charlotte as a result.

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
This will be the first time all season that either Mann or Kennard will start a game.
That means tonight’s second unit will be: Bledsoe, Boston, Mann, Ibaka, Hartenstein.
Tonight would be a good time for Boston to get his catch and shoot game going. – 9:36 PM

Clippers break up the Terance Mann-Luke Kennard combo, start Jackson, Kennard, George, Morris, Zubac.
Looks like CJ McCollum is out tonight with Portland starting Dennis Smith Jr., Norman Powell, Tony Snell, Robert Covington, Jusuf Nurkic. – 9:34 PM

145 American points allowed Saturday against the Celtics.

#Suns next three:
Today vs. #Spurs (w/o Devin Booker: hamstring).
Friday vs. #Celtics.
Monday at #Clippers.
Toughest: Spurs. Won 4 straight, beat Warriors. 5-1 since Suns loss.
Easiest: Clippers. Rematch of WCF Suns won in 6.
Prediction: 2-1.

C’s continue to list Jaylen Brown as questionable heading into Lakers/Clippers swing. Udoka: “See how he feels after going harder today than he has in awhile, since he played in the games. Big picture approach, being cautious with it and getting him back at 100, not 85, 90.” – 4:45 PM
