Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic could be sidelined for an extended period of time after straining his left calf in Wednesday's loss to the Wolves.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 20 second-half points to outlast the Rockets in a defensive slugfest Saturday night.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers sees one drastic difference in Hawks star Trae Young this season: "He's earned the trust of his players."

Udoka is already ahead of schedule after unlocking the Rockets' stingy defense with a mix of talent.

Despite his 39 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said it was the Thunder's defense, which held Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to a combined 33 points, that carried the team to a 118-104 win.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant received boos from the Dallas crowd Tuesday night when he finished a fast break with a basic, two-handed dunk that didn't even rock the rim. Said Morant: "I'm not trying to dunk at all. Y'all think I'm lying. I'm dead serious."
