Chase Hughes: Bradley Beal is a gametime decision with his hip once again. Robin Lopez is also a gametime decision. But Rui Hachimura WILL play after missing some time with a shoulder injury.

Fred Katz: Chandler Hutchison says Robin Lopez was his vet in Chicago, “so I’m looking forward to that.” Says he’s also friendly with Jerome Robinson because they were the same draft class and Bradley Beal because they have the same agent.
Players still turn to food delivery apps for familiar standbys (Ruth’s Chris, Chipotle, regional favorites like Chick-fil-A), but in-room dining is often the simplest (and sometimes the safest) option available for players who know the ins and outs of the scene. Even players who prefer to dine out tend to be versed in room service fare after staying at the same luxury hotels season after season. “It’s well known throughout the league that the Memphis room service has always been a step below some of the other hotels,” says Washington’s Robin Lopez. “But that’s OK, because at least pre-COVID, you made up for it by having great barbecue options all over.”
Proactive organizations are attempting to soften that change by customizing the room service experience. When Lopez goes on a road trip, for example, he receives a link in the Wizards’ team WhatsApp that allows him to order from an expanded version of the hotel menu in advance. Streamlining the process reduces strain on the kitchen, but also opens up room for modifications at a time when many hotels are trying to cut costs.
