Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant blames Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry while questioning the NBA All-Star Game.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looking for his second consecutive award, what do the current NBA MVP odds look like?

The recent defeat dropped the Rockets to fifth in ESPN's latest NBA power rankings. They've lost two of their last three games, but have also seen impressive production from Alperen Sengun. After posting a 33-point triple-double in Denver, the Turkish center is averaging 23.5 points, 9.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists on 50-35-74 shooting splits.

At this point, the Oklahoma City Thunder have made actual game breakdowns a bit mundane. Either they blow out teams or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turns into a scoring machine in high-pressure moments. The reigning NBA champions are on track for one of the greatest seasons ever — once again.

At a point when the stock for LaMelo Ball, Trae Young and Ja Morant appears to be as low as it has been since all of them turned pro, at least one prominent NBA insider believes Ball would still have the highest trade value from that group.

Las Vegas may seem obvious, but is it still a good option? And are owners willing to split the financial pie even more?
