As sluggish NBA trade market nears deadline, history has shown a player’s desired trade destination may not matter

The NBA trade market continues to hum along quietly, with little chatter of substantive deals gaining actual development. There are frameworks being passed around front offices and role players being made available, but this transaction landscape ahead of the Feb. 9 buzzer is desperately lacking significant talent on the block, in the eyes of lead executives, particularly for teams that are searching to add a true All-Star into their respective builds.

NBA DFS Picks: Yahoo plays and strategy for Jan. 30

After his 30-point performance on Saturday, look for Jeremy Sochan as the Spurs host the Wizards at 8 p.m. ET. There are eight games in the NBA on Monday, but we could be missing several stars. The Lakers will be playing the first game of a back-to-back set when they face the Nets, so they have decided to rule out LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (foot). Luka Doncic (ankle) did not play Saturday against the Jazz and is questionable for the Mavericks’ matchup against the… Source link

NBA Twitter reacts to Jordan Poole’s game-winner vs. Grizzlies

After Jordan Poole missed a deep jumper attempt early in the shot clock with the Golden State Warriors leading by two points with under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Steph Curry appeared frustrated.  Following Poole’s miss, Curry threw his mouthpiece while running back on defense and was quickly ejected for the third time in his career.
