Moussa Cisse flashing
Rookie two-way center Moussa Cisse (Memphis grad) is popping for Dallas while Anthony Davis (calf) is unavailable.
Cisse has been formidable on both ends, stuffing dunks and emphatically protecting the rim — including shutdowns of two Cam Whitmore dunk attempts. Cisse has five points (2-2 FG), six rebounds and three blocks in 16 minutes of action.

Welcome back De’Aaron Fox
Fox swishes a three for his first bucket after a delayed start to the season following a training camp hamstring injury. The 27-year-old is looking spry with his trademark speed noticeable immediately.
San Antonio holds a 48-34 lead over New Orleans midway through the second quarter, with Fox leading all scorers with 13 points (5-7 FG).

Raptors firing on all cylinders
A 43-33 lead for the Raptors has been fueled by a seismic 22-0 advantage in bench points versus Philadelphia. Nonetheless, it’s been a balanced effort overall for Toronto, with Immanuel Quickley’s 9 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3PM) represents the team leader in scoring thus far.
Trendon Watford’s 11 points (5-6 FG) pace Philadelphia, while Kelly Oubre and Tyrese Maxey have each scored 10.

Wizards jump out, Mavericks respond
An early 18-0 run propels a 33-24 lead for Dallas in the final minute of the first quarter. Remarkably, 10 players have already scored for the Mavericks in a balanced attack. Defense to offense has been a theme, including a huge blog by rookie two-way big Moussa Cisse on Cam Whitmore, and a couple Cooper Flagg leakouts of steals.
CJ McCollum is keeping Washington afloat, pouring in 14 (5-8 FG) of the team’s first 19 points.
Max Christie dimes up Daniel Gafford in side pick-and-roll. Christie continuing to develop and creating for others is a trend to monitor.
