Rockets waive F/C Jon Brockman.

MRI negative for Luol Deng (Achilles, calf)

Luol Deng's MRI results were negative and he's optimistic that the swelling in his Achilles will subside within a few days.

"I tweaked it a little bit in the second quarter [on Thursday] and it just kind of flared up on me the next day," Deng said. "A lot of swelling and I've still got a lot of swelling in it." The Bulls' trainers told Tom Thibodeau that Deng "could be better in a couple of days," and owners should await updates on his status for Monday's game.

Deron Williams (ankle) may return Tuesday

Asked about Deron Williams' (ankle) tentative plan to return vs. Boston on Tuesday, Jason Kidd said, "From what I understand, he's still on track to do that."

Williams traveled for Saturday's game and we can only hope that his ankle is fully healed when he returns, preventing the type of setback that's sidelined him for the past nine games and counting. Brooklyn plays three times this week, making D-Will somewhat of a risky option with no guarantees that he'll suit up vs. the Celtics.

Rumor: 76ers trade partner for Omer Asik?

The 76ers may be a "viable destination" for disgruntled Rockets center Omer Asik, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Stein presents the rumor cautiously, supporting the "notion" with circumstantial evidence such as GM Sam Hinkie's affinity for Asik, the Sixers' ability to send Thaddeus Young to Houston in return, and the scarcity of a defensive difference-maker like Asik in the 2014 draft. There have been "rumbles" that the Rockets would prefer to deal Asik to the Eastern Conference, but at the moment this is little more than scuttlebutt.

Brown: MCW's knee infection 'under control'

The bacterial skin infection in Michael Carter-Williams' knee is "under control," and coach Brett Brown said that it's "nothing to really get too overly concerned with."

That's not the most confident quote and the Sixers will continue to take all due precautions with their ROY candidate, who has been at the UPenn hospital for three days. There is no timetable for his return which casts a shadow on his status for Monday's game if not the 76ers' entire four-game week. Tony Wroten has proven himself as a fill-in PG in case MCW does miss one or more games.

DeAndre Jordan's foot injury is not serious

The Clippers almost put DeAndre Jordan back in the game after he strained his right arch in the fourth quarter on Saturday.

"I was going to put him back in but the way he walked to the table, he was limping, so I thought that wouldn’t be a good idea," coach Doc Rivers said. "So, I think he’ll be fine in the short run." Jordan had his foot re-taped in the locker room and he has a very good chance to play on Monday against the Sixers.

Rodney Stuckey (knee) walking fine after game

Rodney Stuckey (knee) was walking around after Saturday's game against the Bulls.

This is great to hear after he did not return from a sore knee. Stuckey was sitting on the bench after his injury and the team might not need to re-evaluate him. Although, it might not be easy for him to suit up for Sunday's game against the Heat. Rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would absorb most of the minutes should Stuckey need to rest.

Monta Ellis hits game-winning jumper at POR

Monta Ellis knocked down a 20-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer to beat the Blazers 108-106 on Saturday, shooting 9-of-18 from the field for 22 points with one rebound, four assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

The shot was defended well by Wesley Matthews, but Monta got tremendous elevation to get a good look at the basket for the win. "I was born for it," Ellis said after the game. Confidence has never been an issue for Ellis and he's put up some numbers to back it up this year, averaging 21.6 points, 5.8 boards, 1.6 steals and 0.9 triples. He's definitely not a sell-high candidate and the Dallas offense is conducive to his skill set.

Tristan Thompson posts 20 & 13 w/ full line

Tristan Thompson's 20 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block led the Cavaliers to a much-needed win vs. the Clippers on Saturday.

He didn't turn the ball over once in 40 minutes, capping off his best night of the season, and the only downside was his 6-of-11 mark at the FT line. He won't score like this all the time, but TT is now averaging 15.0 points, 14.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in the past four games.

Damian Lillard scores 32 in loss to Dallas

Damian Lillard got hot in the fourth quarter in Saturday's loss to the Mavericks, finishing with 32 points, one rebound, five assists and five 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

He shot 9-of-18 from the field and made all nine attempts from the line. Lillard has been automatic at the line this season, ranking seventh in free throw percentage at 91.1 while knocking down the seventh-most attempts. The reigning Rookie of the Year also upped his triples per game to a robust 3.0 and he's emerged as one of the best offensive point guards in the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas sizzles for 26 points in win

Isaiah Thomas terrorized the Utah defense on Saturday with 26 points, eight assists, four steals and one 3-pointer on 8-of-14 from the field in 32 minutes.

The Jazz weren't helping rookie Trey Burke and Thomas had a slew of easy looks at the basket tonight. He also made 9-of-10 from the line and tonight was the third time in his last four games in which he handed out at least eight assists. His minutes haven't been consistent all year, but his upside in fantasy will make him a must-own player.

Trey Burke flirts with triple-double in loss

Trey Burke flirted with a triple-double in an overtime loss to the Kings on Saturday with 19 points, 10 boards, seven assists, two steals and two 3-pointers in 44 minutes.

It wasn't all good for the rookie with some terrible defense and he did shoot 5-of-19 tonight. The Jazz had no answer for pick-and-rolls with Isaiah Thomas and the Kings got to the line 38 times tonight. Burke was benched on Friday for some terrible defense and he didn't do much better tonight. His man made some cuts to the basket for easy looks while he struggled in isolation. Even with the invisible defense, he has almost no competition and the Jazz will have to let him have some growing pains. Outside of some poor shooting, Burke should be able to fill up the stat sheet in his rookie season.
