We’ve made it to the NBA trade deadline, so as we breakdown all the deals to be made today, we also have a strong nine-game slate tonight to dive into.
So far around the association, the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks have been the two most active teams as the Sixers swung a deal for Buddy Hield while the Knicks acquired Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks from the Detroit Pistons. With hours remaining until the deadline, there are still plenty of rumors we’re following, namely Dejounte Murray’s availability.
Looking at tonight’s slate of games, a TNT doubleheader kicks off between the aforementioned Knicks as they host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, but we’re still waiting on Jalen Brunson’s availability for tonight’s game after suffering an ankle sprain in Tuesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Elsewhere on tonight’s schedule, keep your eyes on the matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks as the Bucks are still searching for a statement win under Doc Rivers.
We also have a few other games to watch such as a showdown between the Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers as well as an interesting matchup between the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets.
Finishing off the TNT doubleheader, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Denver Nuggets as the Lakers unveil Kobe Bryant’s statue outside Crypto.com Arena.
We have a jam-packed day of basketball in store so buckle up and enjoy!
