Nikola Vučević was on Golden State's radar, but Chicago didn't trade the Montenegrin center. And he didn't shine against the "Warriors" - Chicago lost to Golden State 111:132, Vučević was far below his numbers this season.

Vučević recorded 10 points, four rebounds and an assist, but only hit four of 11 field goal attempts.

But Chicago traded Zach LaVine, and he was brilliant in Sacramento's win over New Orleans with 22 points and five assists, while Domantas Sabonis proved he was unfairly left out of the All-Star team with 27 points and 16 rebounds.

Anthony Davis was brilliant in his debut in Dallas in the Texas derby - 26 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, with both three-pointers hit.

However, the basketball player, who was traded for Luka Dončić, managed to put all that performance together until the beginning of the third quarter, when he injured his thigh muscle.

And Denver celebrated its sixth consecutive triumph, Nikola Jokic lacked an assist for another triple-double, but the Serbian center played only 29 minutes. Jamal Murray shone, in the absence of Michael Porter Jr., who, after several games of dominance, injured a muscle.

The Lakers also celebrated, without the new star tandem Dončić - LeBron James, but Reeves scored a career-high 45 points.

Oklahoma holds the best record in the league, celebrating in Memphis, and the leader in the race for MVP - Shay Gilges-Alexander scored 32 points, but finished the game without a single catch.
