Cameron Boozer was awesome, baby. A legit super stud who brought the goods every night -- no off nights, no soft nights, just dominance.

"Anything for the win," he said. "Trust the coach's game plan." Adams' commitment to team success was evident as he adjusted his role and welcomed new players, showcasing his unselfishness.

Tatum put together his best game of the season on Sunday - a masterful all-around performance in a return to last year's role as the no-questions-asked first option.

"It's been my dream and my goal my whole life to play in the NBA. Honestly, since I can remember. I was probably like, 5 years old, making drawings of myself playing in the NBA. ... It's pretty special, you know, to be in this position right now."

"The Heat do have interest," he said recently on Sirius XM NBA. "I would like to see him in Miami. I would like to see him in Miami because of the structure. [Miami Heat president Pat Riley] being there - he's never been shy to bring on guys who have questionable paths. I think it would be good for Ja Morant not just as a player, but as a man to go into there. The Miami culture is different. It really is."

The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is heading to the sunny beach town of Los Angeles this year. And despite how well Josh Giddey played this season, it looked like the Bulls wouldn't have any representation. Or so we thought, until the NBA announced Matas Buzelis as a participant in the Rising Stars Game, which takes place on All-Star Friday. This will be Matas Buzelis' second appearance in the Rising Stars Game as a Chicago Bull after playing on Team Mitch last season.

Kevin Durant Props Kevin Durant's 25.8 points per game are 1.3 higher than Thursday's prop total. He has averaged 5.3 rebounds per game, 0.8 higher than his prop bet on Thursday. Durant's assists average - 4.4 - is 0.9 higher than Thursday's over/under (3.5). He has connected on 2.3 three-pointers per game, 0.2 fewer than his over/under on Thursday. Amen Thompson Props The 17.6 points Amen Thompson scores per game are 2.1 more than his over/under on Thursday.

Obviously, things in the DMV are turning around for the better, and in large part because of the bold moves made by the team's new front office regime. With one of the best young cores in the league and a new superstar duo formed with the additions of Trae Young and Anthony Davis, the Wizards are catching the attention of many minds around the league, including the likes of future Hall of Famer and pending free agent LeBron James.

Averaging a career-high 14.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists, while shooting 45.9% from field goal range and an impressive 40.5% from beyond the arc, the 22-year-old has raised eyebrows about how good he can be in the coming years. The 6-foot-8 wing has the offensive versatility to play both on and off the ball, the size to serve as a capable defender that can guard multiple position and the IQ to be an impact player on both ends of the court.

Caleb Williams is no stranger to letting it fly from deep. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the Chicago Bears quarterback will be a participant in the upcoming 3-point shooting competition during the NBA's All-Star Game Weekend festivities. No, seriously ... this is a thing that is happening. The event is set to take place on Friday. So if you saw this tweet and thought Jacob Infante was just having a laugh, think again:

Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware will be a part of the 2026 All-Star Weekend in Inglewood, Calif.! The second-year big was named to the NBA Sophomores team for the Rising Stars Game on Feb. 13, the league announced. Among his teammates will be Spurs' reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, Houston's Reed Sheppard, Memphis' Cam Spencer and Jaylen Wells plus Portland's Donovan Clingan.

We got to think long term. But yeah, these kind of games, you got to have the greed. I mean, every game you have to have this greed to want more every time, because you know at all times it doesn't matter who's on the court, it's somebody who's going to want to stop you from doing what you do out there. So you got to be greedy.
