NBA Trade Week Blockbusters Photo: Ronald Martinez / Getty Images Blazers Ship McCollum to Pelicans; Kings & Pacers Swing 6-Player Deal
The NBA trade market picked up momentum on Tuesday with a pair of blockbusters featuring all-stars and young talent across the board. The Blazers started things off by sending C.J. McCollum to the Pelicans in exchange for a hall of players and picks. Later in the day, Indiana began its rebuild by shipping Domantas Sabonis and a pair of guards to Sacramento in a six-player swap. Plenty of rumors and discussions are heating up all week long with the NBA’s trade deadline looming on Thursday (3:00 pm ET).
Pelicans Get: C.J. McCollum, Larry Nanace, Tony Snell Blazers Get: Josh Hart, Tomas Satoransky, Didi Louzada, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, 2022 1st & 2nd-Round Picks
Kings Get: Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday Pacers Get: Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Tristan Thompson

NCAA Razorbacks Cut Down Number 1 Photo: Wesley Hitt / Getty Images Arkansas Snaps No. 1 Auburn’s 19-Game Win Streak (80-76, OT)
Another No. 1 has fallen! Auburn tumbled on Tuesday after multiple weeks atop the NCAA basketball rankings. The Tigers were upset by unranked Arkansas in an overtime thriller that went down to the wire. Razorbacks’ senior J.D. Notae poured in a game-high 28 points, including a go-ahead 3 in OT before Arkansas closed the door and stormed the court at Bud Walton Arena. Auburn had ridden a 19-game win streak to their first No. 1 ranking in program history, but a new No. 1 awaits next week — likely #2 Gonzaga or #3 Purdue.
Watch: Arkansas Stuns #1 Auburn (80-76, OT)
Other NCAA Basketball Highlights #3 Purdue def. #13 Illinois (84-68) #5 Kentucky def. South Carolina (86-76) #14 Wisconsin def. #17 Michigan State (70-62)

🏀 NBA: Giannis Puts Up 44 to Beat Lakers Giannis Antetokounmpo (44-14-8) flirted with a triple-double to garner Tuesday’s game ball in the Bucks’ win over the Lakers (131-116). Giannis was nearly perfect, shooting 17-for-20 from the field and 2-for-2 from deep. Milwaukee has won four straight.
