Many Mavericks fans vented their frustration Friday night, again chanting "Fire Nico!" as the final minute played out in a 117-107 loss to the Wizards that dropped Dallas to 0-2 on the season.

Kevin Durant said Rockets players and coaches are "pissed off" as they fell to 0-2 with a 115-111 loss to the Pistons on Friday night, but also views that early-season frustration as a good thing.

Hornets forward Brandon Miller left Saturday's game early in the second quarter due to left shoulder soreness and did not return.

The Hawks were missing Jalen Johnson (ankle), Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) in Saturday's game vs. the Thunder.
