Jimmy Butler continues to loom large over the NBA trade deadline. Here is the latest intel and rumors surrounding possible deals.

The Denver Nuggets are 28-19 after three straight losses on their current five-game road trip. Currently sitting at fourth place in the Western Conference, the Nuggets have mostly bounced back from an inconsistent start to the season, though weaknesses on defense continue to show.

Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.

Amen Thompson made a game-winning floater with 1.3 seconds remaining to polish off a career night, lifting the visiting Houston Rockets to a 114-112 victory over the short-handed Boston Celtics on Monday night.

For those unfamiliar with the All-Star starter selection process, fans make up 50% of the vote for two guards and three frontcourt players (forward or center) for the Eastern Conference and Western Conference.
