With the Wizards loss and the Pelicans win, the Wizards have moved into sole possession of the 9th-best lottery odds. That gives them a 4.5% chance at No. 1 and a 20.2% chance at the top-4.
The Pelicans were 9th in 2019 when they jumped up to the No. 1 pick and got Zion. – 11:14 PM

In the wake of the Butler-Haslem schism, Bulls toughness stood trial on Thursday. Billy Donovan discussed it, and so did Zach LaVine. With nine games left, someone has to show a pulse. Someone has to be pissed … and not just at the refs.

Two All-Defense queries:
1. Do you have a minutes per game threshold?
2. Do you have a games played threshold?
Because I’m mulling my Second Team right now. Gary Payton plays 17 MPG. Alex Caruso has played 34 games. Per minute, they’re both deserving. Curious where people stand – 9:48 PM

Billy Donovan gave his opinion on Bulls’ biggest challenge vs. elite teams: “We gotta put our bodies in plays”
Says Bulls communicate well when ball isn’t moving, transition defense is lacking, etc. But they need to confront lack of consistent, physical resistance at rim – 7:05 PM

Billy Donovan said DeMar DeRozan has been experiencing tightness in his groin “for a little bit,” but it escalated beyond that during/after Milwaukee game
Injury isn’t thought to be significant. Called it a “mild strain.” Will know more tomorrow – 6:33 PM

Billy Donovan says DeMar DeRozan had been playing with tightness in his adductor up until the game in Milwaukee, when it became worse.
Billy says it’s “not significant” but there “certainly is a strain there.” Tomorrow will offer a better idea, but no concrete timeline yet. – 6:32 PM

The staring contest between Zion Williamson and the Pelicans has already begun over the star forward’s status this season.
There’s only one way both sides can come away feeling like a winner: by working together

#Cavs magic number is 1. But for them, it’s about finishing in the top 6. Tonight’s game in Toronto and Saturday at home vs. the Bulls will go a long way in determining their playoff fate.

Miami guard Charlie Moore, from Chicago, spent two seasons at Kansas before he transferred to DePaul. The sixth-year senior said he wanted to go home when he made that move, but his father convinced him to spend his last year of eligibility somewhere different. #kubball – 3:14 PM

1⃣ Pels dominated offensive boards, second-chance points at CHA
2⃣ DeRozan out, but defense must contain LaVine (32 pts vs. NOP in Oct.)
3⃣ At center, Valanciunas, Vucevic are skilled scorers, rebounders

Bulls are 2-2 without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan this season. He’s out tonight with a left adductor strain.
Pelicans will likely be without Brandon Ingram. He’s missed the last 8 games with a strained right hamstring. – 2:52 PM
