We're taking a break from the live blog rotation Friday. Look for the Week 20 Dashboard on Sunday, and we'll return to our regularly-scheduled live blog programming on Monday. News and notes from early Friday:
• Status updates: Kevin Durant (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Friday ... Deron Williams' wrist problem hasn't improved significantly but he's expected to be in the starting lineup on Friday. Jordan Farmar (ankle) could also return to action Friday ... Josh Smith's sprained right knee kept him out of practice Thursday and he remains doubtful for Friday ... Chauncey Billups (quad) is expected to be out Friday. Toney Douglas will get another start ... Baron Davis is expected to debut for the Cavs Friday, albeit as a reserve and on a minutes limit ... There is a slight chance that Tyrus Thomas could return to the Bobcats' lineup as early as Wednesday ... Rashard Lewis is at the point with his knee where season-ending surgery looks fairly likely. Josh Howard and Maurice Evans are in line for the playing time at small forward.
• Friday's most added players (as of 12pm PT): Ty Lawson, Marcus Thornton, Anthony Randolph, Wes Johnson, and DeAndre Jordan
