Here we will discuss the player who's part of the Houston Rockets' dream scenario for the 2025 NBA trade deadline.

The Houston Rockets have been a surprise team in the NBA this season and by making a trade with the Sacramento Kings for their superstar guard, they could become championship contenders.

DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points and Domantas Sabonis recorded his league-leading 36 th double-double of the season to lead the Kings to a 132-127 victory over the Houston Rockets on Thursday at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

DeMar DeRozan had 33 points, Malik Monk added 26 points and nine assists and the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 132-127 on Thursday night.

The regular review of calls in the last two minutes confirmed two fouls on Dillon Brooks in closing seconds of 132-127 loss to Sacramento.

The Sacramento Kings edged out the Houston Rockets with a final score of 132-127 during last night’s thrilling matchup. DeMar DeRozan was the standout performer for the Kings and led the team to a much-needed victory.

Per The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Houston could pursue an asset-related trade by the NBA’s Feb. 6 in-season deadline. They won’t go after De’Aaron Fox.

In case you missed it, the Sacramento Kings are expected to open trade talks around franchise point guard De'Aaron Fox, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday, and Fox's preferred landing spot is San Antonio.

That is supported by Yahoo’s Kevin O’Connor, who wrote that the Heat have “lowered their asking price for Butler because they’re tired of his act”. “And they’d like to get something in return instead of letting him walk in free agency for nothing,” he added.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

The reserves for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday and sparked social media posts about who was snubbed.
