There’s a Rockets fan, about 10, 12 years old in the front row. Jalen Green gave him a “what’s up” and flashed some Hs. The dad was too slow with the camera, however. Got to be ready in those seats. – 8:32 PM

Silas sees more All-Star opportunities ahead for Dejounte Murray:
“He’s crushed us. But it’s not just us….The thing about him is he is a 2-way player. He really gets after it defensively, can guard his man, play off the ball, get into passing lanes…” – 7:24 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Rockets coach Stephen Silas is excited to see Zach Collins return;
“Game 1 for him. It’s been a long time for him. I am happy for him, to fight all the way back and to go through everything he has gone through to make it back. He is probably pretty excited to play tonight. – 7:22 PM

January 25 the Spurs scored 82 of their 134 points in the paint (61%) against Houston.
That was the season high in paint scoring for San Antonio this season pic.twitter.com/9YfJgxxVqW7:06 PM

Coach Silas says limiting the Spurs’ scoring in the paint is a focus tonight after the Rockets allowed 82 paint points last time the teams played: “I asked how many points in the paint did the Spurs have in the paint last time and multiple guys said 82.” – 7:05 PM

Pop on the faith he has in the athletic training, performance and medical staffs that oversee the rehab of Spurs players:

#Cavs Evan Mobley and Isaac Okoro were drafted to the same team, Team Barry, for Rising Stars.
Their team consists of Cade Cunningham, Dyson Daniels, Alperen Sengun, Jae’Sean Tate and Franz Wagner. – 6:45 PM

You can’t tell me Tilman Fertitta doesn’t want this Eric Gordon trade pic.twitter.com/5TvhctoqS46:32 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
I’m told #Cavs are going with the same starting lineup from the other night in Houston. Brandon Goodwin will start for Darius Garland (back). Cedi Osman in the starting lineup for Dean Wade.
Goodwin, Okoro, Osman, Mobley and Allen. – 6:01 PM

We’re hosting a #Rockets Trade Deadline Discussion on Spaces next week as @BimaThug and I will be talking deals the night before the deadline. We would love to have you join us. twitter.com/i/spaces/1MnGn…5:42 PM
Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
Hey #Rockets fans, if I were to organize a Twitter Spaces around the Trade Deadline, which local media or your favorite Twitter follows would you want to interact with?
Let’s try our best to make it happen. – 5:40 PM

The Thunder own the Clippers draft picks. The Rockets own the Nets draft picks.
Today has been a good day. – 5:17 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
With salary cap projection increasing to $121 million next season, I’ve got the Spurs being able to open up a maximum of $38 million in cap space.
That would require letting all free agents walk and letting go of all players on non-guaranteed deals. – 4:49 PM

This just in from the NBA:
Spurs at Bulls on Feb. 14 will be televised by NBA TV.
