Report: Howard unlikely to re-sign with LAL

Dwight Howard is unlikely to re-sign with the Lakers, sources tell ESPN's Chris Broussard.

The report lists the Mavericks and Rockets as the two favorites to sign the pending free agent, which isn't surprising considering he's been linked to both teams ever since the season ended. While the Lakers aren't completely out of it, they're a long shot because of Mike D'Antoni's offense, according to Broussard. Of course, as Broussard points out, Howard's legendary indecisiveness could always change things.

Brook Lopez (ankle) will travel to Detroit

Brook Lopez (ankle) will travel with the Nets for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Coach Jason Kidd said he doesn't know if Lopez will be able to play in Friday night's game. Lopez said he wanted to go back in Thursday's game, but that was a similar situation to the one that occurred before he missed seven games due to a left ankle sprain last month. His owners should be preparing for him to sit while Andray Blatche makes for a great speculative add.

Dwight Howard goes off for 32 and 17 in loss

Dwight Howard had one of his best games of the season on Thursday during a loss to the Blazers with 32 points, 17 boards, one assist, two steals and three blocks in 42 minutes.

He shot 4-of-6 from the line and hasn't been too shabby over his last four games. Howard made a combined 31-of-49 while posting averages of 22.5 points, 18.8 boards, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks. This has been his best four-game stretch of the entire season, so maybe he's starting to learn to play in the Houston system.

Report: James Dolan blocks Kyle Lowry deal

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan vetoed a trade that would have sent Kyle Lowry to the Knicks, sources told the Daily News.

"There are two problems," the source said. "Dolan didn’t like that someone from his group leaked it to the media, and the other problem is the Knicks seem to have too many (people)involved with making decisions." The report adds that the deal is not dead and would "almost assuredly" include Raymond Felton, but the Knicks do want to keep Tim Hardaway Jr., Metta World Peace and Iman Shumpert as possible trading pieces.

LaMarcus Aldridge explodes for 31 and 25

LaMarcus Aldridge was unstoppable against the Rockets on Thursday with 31 points, 25 boards, two assists, two steals and two blocks on 12-of-22 shooting.

He had a career high in rebounds and became the first Blazer to ever have a 30-25 line. Aldridge was up to his usual tricks with nine field goals outside of the paint, making nine from that range. The MVP candidate was on a roll even before this game with averages of 24.0 points, 11.1 boards, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in his previous 10 games. The Blazers are 19-4 and have a one-game lead in the Western Conference for the top seed.

Andray Blatche scores 21 against Clippers

Andray Blatche scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting with nine boards, three assists and one turnover in 28 minutes against the Clippers on Thursday.

Brook Lopez suffered a left ankle injury and there's a very good chance he will miss Friday's game and beyond. Lopez missed seven games with a left ankle sprain last month, meaning the Nets probably will want to proceed with caution. Blatche basically becomes a "run, don't walk" add based on his averages of 16.8 points, 6.3 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks as the starting center.

C.J. McCollum (foot) cleared for 3-on-3 work

C.J. McCollum (foot) has been cleared for 3-on-3 play, according to coach Terry Stotts.

He still doesn't have a timetable to return and the team is no rush to get him on the court based on their 18-4 record. McCollum was the centerpiece of their Las Vegas Summer League team, but Wesley Matthews having a career year along with Mo Williams' improved play should keep the rookie's impact to a minimum. He's only worth stashing in the deepest of leagues.

Jermaine O'Neal will have wrist surgery

Jermaine O'Neal will have arthroscopic surgery on a torn ligament in his right wrist.

It's sad news for a great bench player for the Warriors. O'Neal took on a leadership role with the team despite playing just 18.6 minutes per game and coach Mark Jackson even used him at power forward a bit before going down. There hasn't been an official prognosis, but there was talk of a surgery being season-ending. He can be cut in all leagues. Marreese Speights and Hilton Armstrong picked up most of the minutes at the backup center spot, but neither are deserving of a pickup in really any league. Although, Andrew Bogut's propensity to miss games could be a potential problem.

Knicks, Nets both eyeing trade for Kyle Lowry

The Knicks are reportedly preparing a trade package for Kyle Lowry that would send Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Raptors.

The Raptors, however, continue to gauge their options with an "ever-growing list of teams," and the "most direct competition" is coming from the Nets. The Knicks are reportedly hesitant to include a first-round pick, but without it the Raptors may be demanding both Tim Hardaway Jr. and Iman Shumpert. Lowry has a reasonable $6.2 million deal which expires this summer and he's been playing well all year, which puts Toronto GM Masai Ujiri in the driver's seat as talks continue.

Steve Blake (elbow) out 6+ weeks w/ torn UCL

Steve Blake will miss a minimum of six weeks with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Blake was playing through the injury, which is a testament to his toughness, but further testing revealed the torn UCL. His absence, combined with injuries to Steve Nash (nerves) and Jordan Farmar (hamstring), leaves the Lakers completely barren at PG. Don't be surprised if L.A. signs a PG in the coming days, and we expect more ball-handling duties for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers' platoon of swingmen.

Ty Lawson (hamstring) probable for Friday

Updating a previous report, Ty Lawson (hamstring) practiced fully on Thursday and coach Brian Shaw expects him to play in Friday's game vs. the Jazz.

Andre Miller has been an uninspiring fill-in at PG during Lawson's absence, with Nate Robinson and Evan Fournier picking up more minutes off the bench, but all three guards will resume their usual roles once Lawson is back in action.

Raymond Felton (hamstring) to miss 2-3 weeks

Raymond Felton's MRI confirmed a strained left hamstring and he will miss 2-3 weeks.

Pablo Prigioni started in Felton's absence Wednesday night, but only posted six points and two assists in 31 minutes of action. Beno Udrih didn't fare much better in 17 minutes, so Mike Woodson will have his work cut out for him filling in for Felton over the next two or three weeks. Neither player has much fantasy value even with Felton out, but there are rumors of the Knicks chasing Kyle Lowry that we'll be keeping an eye on.
