Malik Monk just found a new way to miss a dunk. The Sacramento Kings guard picked up a steal and had a clear path to the hoop late in the second quarter of their matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

Malik Monk just found a new way to miss a dunk ... hoop late in the second quarter of their 123-117 win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. But as Monk went to throw down a two ...

Let's take a look at five potential trade candidates ahead of Thursday's deadline:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Keon Johnson led a balanced Brooklyn attack with 18 points, and the Nets snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 104-83 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Jalen Wilson added 15 points and Tosan Evbuomwan had 14 for the Nets,

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accounted for 21 of the Thunder’s 34 first-quarter points as they lead by 14 over the Warriors at the first break. The MVP candidate has gone 7-for-8 from the floor and 6-for-7 from the line, and is giving the Warriors defense all kinds of issues.

The "Light the Beam" era of the Sacramento Kings is rapidly devolving into yet another dark time for the forlorn franchise. De'Aaron Fox's refusal to sign a contract extension has forced the Kings to recoup whatever value they can retain on the trade market before the Feb.

Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II made the Chase Center feel like old times Wednesday night. Was it their last hurrah?

Enter Gary Payton II, who received the ball from a driving Dennis Schröder and got all the way up, slamming down a thunderous dunk on OKC center Isaiah Hartenstein to extend the Warriors’ lead to nine points with just over a minute to play. The dunk got the entire Golden State bench on its feet, and sent the crowd into hysterics.

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t expected to be in the mix for De’Aaron Fox, but if they’re willing to saddle up and make this offer, the Sacramento Kings will have trouble saying no.

Darius Garland scored 26 points and Evan Mobley had 16 points and 10 rebounds after both were named All-Star reserves, helping the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers to a 137-115 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
