Collin Sexton, the lone Jazz core player playing on Tuesday, put up 30 efficient points in a performance that wasn't quite enough. Plus, thoughts on Cooper Flagg and more.

The Miami Heat were expected to be a contender in the Eastern Conference this year, similar to how they’ve been competitive for the past few seasons. However, the relationship between the organization and Jimmy Butler has turned sour.

Playing their second game in the last 24 hours without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Walker Kessler, and Jordan Clarkson, the Jazz got a balanced scoring attack that was led by Collin Sexton and fought hard against the Golden State Warriors. In the end, Utah fell 114-103 and will look forward to bouncing back during an upcoming homestand.

The Magic need perimeter scoring. They're on track to be the worst three-point shooting team in more than a decade and their offensive rating has been stuck in the NBA's bottom third since 2011-12. Complementing Banchero, Wagner and Suggs now could further open Orlando's window of contention.

Teams are entering the NBA trade deadline with the idea of adjusting their cap situations, while rumors and intel about Jimmy Butler form.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal will not waive his no-trade clause to go to the Chicago Bulls, a source familiar with the three-time All-Star’s thinking told The Athletic. The Bulls had been mentioned as one team the Suns could use to facilitate a hypothetical trade for Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler.

Tyler Herro scored 30 points, Bam Adebayo finished with 26 and Miami Heat erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter before beating Orlando in double overtime.

The NBA trade deadline is just a week away, so let’s look at some of the players from and, if they’re moved, the potential fantasy implications.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Anthony Davis had 42 points and 23 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers used a huge first quarter from the All-Star center to build a 23-point lead before beating the Charlotte Hornets 112-107 on Monday night for their fourth straight win.

The Sacramento Kings are listening to offers for De'Aaron Fox before the NBA trade deadline. Expect more twists and turns.

If a team is  somewhere in the middle, it better have a clear direction because floundering around play-in territory is the NBA’s version of purgatory.

James Harden (24), Norman Powell (23) and Ivica Zubac (25) all scored 20+ points in the loss, snapping LA’s two-game win streak. Kawhi Leonard played a season-high 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block.
