The Dallas Mavericks fell heartbreakingly to the Utah Jazz tonight, losing 114-116. To make things worse, the team lost All-Star big man Anthony Davis late in the fourth, whose defensive presence could’ve prevented the Jazz from scoring several key buckets.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 46 points, including a buzzer-beater at end of regulation, as the OKC Thunder beat the Utah Jazz 129-125 in overtime.

Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George received injury status updates for the Jazz's Saturday night game against the Warriors.

This might be the smoothest 30 points through 2.5 quarters I’ve ever seen. Lauri Markkanen is definitely an all star. Let's look at some teams that could end up being buyers before the Feb. 5 trade deadline.

The Jazz would be smart to deal Lauri Markannen away, thus freeing up cap space and creating great flexibility. Fantasy Owners also would benefit.

This year, Lauri Markkanen is averaging the fewest turnovers (1.4) by any player to score 25+ points per game in NBA history. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is also averaging the fewest turnovers (1.9) by any player to score 30+ points per game in NBA history.
