Now that all the big trades have been made we can all shift our focus back on the game of the night.
Wizards vs Hornets

NEW YORK -- OG Anunoby will miss the New York Knicks' game against Houston on Monday night, sitting out for the first time this season because of a sprained right foot.
The Knicks originally listed the starting forward as questionable to play when they submitted their injury report Sunday. He was then downgraded to out on Monday.

Bucks sitting Giannis and Middleton. Dame likely to play little or none. Line is 15.5. I'd take OKC although I guess there could be a garbage time backdoor cover.

Sounds like Fox and Lavine etc will not be ready to play tonight but I'll try to keep an eye out for updates. Trade wasn't official as of last night and they still have to travel and do physicals etc.

Officiating in the Rockets/Knicks game is starting to annoy me.
Josh Hart called for the softest foul on Tori Eason you'll ever see.

Its impossible with the size of Giannis' contract.
I think he ultimately plays out his carrer in Milwaukee despite all the conspiracy theories

That was a makeup. Udoka told the ref that Amen was jumping past Brunson, and Brunson leaned/stepped into his flight path to get two free throws for what should have been an offensive foul. It was the very next possession, and it was the exact same referee.

Bucks are playing no one. Giannis, Middleton, Dame, Lopez and Portis all out. Thunder are missing J-Dub, Caruso, Wallace and of course Chet. But the Thunder have their main guy and also better depth so it probably will end up a blowout.
