Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić (right knee contusion) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Looking forward to seeing Hardy in this one, especially if Luka doesn’t play. He’s looked good the last few games and want to see if he can sustain it.

He’s had good stretches of games in the past, but that was usually when he was hot. These past few games have felt a bit different, like MAYBE things are starting to click for him and the game’s starting to slow down a bit.

Outside of a couple of boneheaded mistakes, I think he’s looked composed and his decision making has been a lot better.

I agree. This recent stretch from Hardy has looked more promising than ever.

I still want to see how he balances facilitating and scoring coming off the bench now with Luka coming back tonight. Huge test for him imo.

He should thrive as well as the rest of the Mavs. Pels have half their team wearing street clothes.

Insane how hideous the NBA cup courts look

I feel like I’m the only person who likes them… the more garish the better, I say! It’s like watching arcade machine basketball.

Garish is the perfect description for them. I mean hey if ya like them then ya like them.


I find them an eye sore. But I have to admit, I like that they are at least trying new things.

Starters: Luka, Kyrie, Klay, PJ, and D-Live

OK LUKA!! BLOCK AND STEAL ON THE FIRST TWO POSSSESSIONS!!

THEN ANOTHER STEAL BY LUKA!

The courts look almost like a pinball machine.

I thought the awesome grey court would be the Cup court. This looks like a Warriors court.  

OKC game must have embarrassed Luka and Klay, so they bring it early.

luka is crazy locked in tonight. Crisp passes. Great D. Great drives. Im not even mad at that gamble.

That pass makes it to Shaqtin a fool. Jesus.

I am loving the reads Klay is making out of the PnR. So many great passes to the corner.

Can we play a Thunder sound over the jumbotron every time a pass is headed toward PJ at the 3pt line or would that be illegal.

When Kyrie is hot, he is REALLY hot. Also Grimes must have watched Space Jam last night and thought he was MJ.
