BREAKING: NBA Postpones Mavs/Pelicans, Celtics/Bulls Games

The NBA has announced that both the Dallas Mavericks vs. New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls games that were scheduled for Monday night have been postponed in accordance with the league's Health and Safety Protocols. The games were expected to start at 7:30 and 8:00 PM EST, but will now be postponed until further notice.

Mavericks fans were looking forward to the return of Kristaps Porzingis, but will now have to wait until  Wednesday vs. Charlotte to see the big Latvian in action - if that game isn't postponed as well, of course. Porzingis hasn't played since the team's first-round loss to the Clippers in the bubble after suffering a lateral meniscus tear.  

Stay tuned for updates on when games will be rescheduled and/or further postponements.
