NBA on ESPN @ESPNNBA
“We’ve just been leaning on each other, learning, and growing together as a team.”
Dereck Lively II says without Luka and Kyrie, the Mavericks’ teamwork is the key to their recent success 🙌 @malika_andrews pic.x.com/T6QZXMma2E – 6:06 PM

Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Random but interesting… Since moving to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets have had 6 former No. 1 overall picks on the team — 5 of 6 during Sean Marks era:
– Ben Simmons
– Anthony Bennett
– Kyrie Irving
– Blake Griffin
– Andre Bargnani
– Dwight Howard (never played) – 5:45 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Kyrie Irving has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday’s rematch with the Nuggets, per Jason Kidd. Luka and Exum still out. Irving went through practice on Monday with no limitations. – 2:12 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Jason Kidd said Kyrie Irving (back) practiced today and is questionable for tomorrow’s rematch against the Nuggets. – 2:08 PM
Micah Adams @MAdamsStatGuy
Bucky Irving, No. 1 overall fantasy pick in 2025? – 10:06 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
The LA Clippers report that Cam Christie, Trentyn Flowers, Kobe Brown, Kai Jones, and PJ Tucker are out Monday night vs Miami Heat. None are injured.
As mentioned Friday night, Kawhi Leonard is no longer on personal leave after missing Wednesday night at Denver. – 8:31 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Final Rotations for the Nuggets as they defeat the Mavs (sans Luka/Kyrie) 112-101.
-Jokic: 19-18-9, not his best game. Mavs made his life difficult.
-Westbrook: 21-10-7, just continues to do everything
-Watson: 10-6-1-1-1, +30
-Gordon in return: 13-6-2, +23 in 18 min pic.x.com/STmigtg3rl – 5:31 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Alright Nuggets fans, it’s time for Game 38 of the season vs the Mavericks.
No Kyrie/Luka on the other side. Denver gets back AG on min restriction. This is a borderline must-win.
Let’s Basketball. – 3:09 PM

More on this storyline

Jared Greenberg: Kyrie Irving (back) upgraded to questionable for tomorrow’s game vs DEN on @NBAonTNT. He was a full participant in practice today and JKidd said, “he looked good”. -via Twitter / January 13, 2025
Lively finished Thursday’s game with a 21-point, 16-rebound double-double. He added three blocks in the win. Although he had only one assist on Thursday, Lively’s passing has continued to improve during the 2024-25 campaign. After averaging just 1.1 assists per outing in 2023-24, the Mavs center is recording 2.5 assists per game this season. “A lot,” Lively said of how much pride he takes in his play-making as a center. “I’m just trying to be able to make sure everybody on my team gets an open shot. No matter if that’s Kyrie (Irving) or Luka (Doncic) on the floor, I’m going to try to get them an easy shot… Try to just get the easy possessions… I’m gonna find my teammates to get them open because that’s what they do to me.” -via Clutch Points / January 10, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Trae Young (26) passed Kyrie Irving (32) in assists last night and is now No. 103 all-time in the NBA. Also: Anthony Davis moved ahead of Zach Randolph in scoring for No. 71 in league history. -via Twitter @hoopshype / January 8, 2025
