The Phoenix Suns started the week strong with a win on national television against the Portland Trailblazers shorthanded. However, once the team returned home, Phoenix struggled to close games and hit the three ball when they needed to, going 1-2 for the week, their first time being under .500 for a week in 2026.

Here are the main questions for Week 16 that we want your thoughts on:

---

A Fourth Quarter Collapse Against the Warriors with no Steph Curry

Phoenix’s loss to the Warriors on Sunday wasn’t just bad because the Warriors were without Stephen Curry and recently acquired Kristaps Porzingis; they blew a double-digit fourth quarter lead. The Suns were up 90-76 with less than 9:30 left in the game and proceeded to score seven points the rest of the way, Golden State went on a 25-7 run to win 101-97.

The team’s offense went cold and couldn’t get into a rhythm, not scoring a single point the final 3:55 of the contest.

While the Suns did not have Devin Booker or Jalen Green, the team’s offensive continued to struggle when they returned to the lineup in the next game against the Philadelphia 76ers. How concerning were the team’s two losses this week?

Devin Booker Returns from a 15-Day Absence

Devin Booker returned to play on Saturday night after missing more than two weeks with an ankle injury he suffered against the Atlanta Hawks on January 23rd. In his return Booker had 21 points and nine assists on 5/12 shooting from the field, 1/7 from three and 10/11 from the line against the Sixers.

Additionally, Jalen Green also returned from injury on Saturday after missing more than a week, scoring 8 points in 17 minutes of action on 2/6 shooting from the field with three rebounds and three assists.

What did you make of the two guards’ returns, and do you the Suns should rest them on one-end of the team’s back-to-back this week with the All-Star Break coming up?

What Did You Make of Phoenix’s Trade Deadline?

The Suns stayed relatively quiet this trade deadline, moving Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis in exchange for forward Amir Coffey and guard Cole Anthony. The move gets the Suns out of luxury the tax for the first time since the 2021-2022 campaign. Neither Coffey or Anthony are expected to play a major role with the team, and the deal gives the team a chance to sign a 15th player, which their likely to use to convert Jamaree Bouyea’s two-way contract into a standard one.

What grade would you give the team’s deadline and do you think signing Bouyea to the last roster spot is the best use of it?

Devin Booker and Jalen Green returned from injury absences.

Green had 8 points in 17 minutes on 2/6 shooting and 0/3 from three.

Booker had 21 in 32 minutes on 5/12 from the field and 1/7 from deep.

What did you of their performances?

With the football season officially in the books, we can now turn our attention to NBA betting at least until March Madness.

This is a great day to dive in with 10 games on the board and unlimited options in the player prop markets. 

My three favorites include a pair of 3-point props. One is for an up-and-comer, while the other is more well-known. 

Those and more NBA picks for Monday, February 9, below.

Best NBA player props today

Prop #1: Derik Queen Over 11.5 points

-125 at bet365

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Derik Queen is playing his basketball, and he’s in a great spot to keep that going against the Sacramento Kings.

Queen has put up 14 points per game over his last five — topping 16 or more three times over that same stretch — and this is another great matchup for him.

The Kings have little interior presence, even with Domantas Sabonis, and he’s banged up and questionable to play.

Sacramento has surrendered the third-most opponent points in the paint per game, so Queen is a great bet to go Over his point total.

• Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
• Where to watch: NBCSCA, GCSEN

Prop #2: Julian Strawther Over 1.5 threes

+110 at bet365

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Julian Strawther has earned himself more playing time. 

The 23-year-old is coming off his second start of the season, playing a career-high 33 minutes, scoring 19 points while going 4-for-8 from 3-point range.

I’m betting he keeps letting it fly against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. The Cavs traded away all their best perimeter defenders, and Cleveland already ranks 27th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage and 21st in opponent made threes per game.

• Time: 9:00 p.m. ET
• Where to watch: FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, ALT

Prop #3: LeBron James Over 1.5 threes

+100 at bet365

With Luka Doncic still banged up, you can bet LeBron James will get up a few more shots when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And that isn’t as bad an idea as you might think. The Thunder were known for their defense last season, but it’s slipped a bit this year, particularly on the perimeter.

OKC allows the fifth-most 3-point attempts while surrendering the fifth-highest opponent 3-point shooting percentage.

LeBron has drained multiple threes in three of his last five games, and I love the idea of him jacking up some treys vs. the defending champs.

LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Chloe Kim and Eileen Gu, two Olympic standouts who have faced their share of hate over the years, each weighed in Monday on Donald Trump's bashing of their friend, American freeskier Hunter Hess, for having said he didn't back the U.S. president's heightened crackdown on immigrants.

“I think in moments like these, it is really important for us to unite and kind of stand up for one another for all that’s going on," said Kim, the two-time Olympic gold medalist whose parents are South Korean immigrants and who has faced racism throughout her career for her Asian heritage.

Gu, the American-born freeskier who competes for China, said after her silver-medal win in slopestyle that she had been in touch with Hess, who told her she was one of the few people who could relate to what he's going through.

“As someone who’s been caught in the crossfire before, I feel sorry for the athletes,” said Gu, who was born in San Francisco and whose decision to compete for China turned her into a lightning rod.

Hess drew Trump’s ire when he was asked by reporters to give his views on the immigration crackdown that has claimed the lives of two protestors in Minnesota and disrupted thousands of lives of immigrants and U.S. citizens. Hess answered: “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”

The next day, Trump lashed out at Hess on his Truth Social account, calling him “a real Loser” and saying he would be hard pressed to root for him at the Games. Hess's friends — snowboarders and freeskiers competing this week in Livigno — were asked for their reaction.

“My parents being immigrants from Korea, this one definitely hits pretty close to home,” said Kim, who begins defense of her title Wednesday.

"I’m really proud to represent the United States,” she said. “The U.S. has given my family and I so much opportunity, but I also think that we are allowed to voice our opinions of what’s going that we need to lead with love and compassion.”

Other American snowboarders spoke out for diversity and the right of expression.

“I think there are a lot of different opinions in the U.S. right now. Obviously we’re very divided,” snowboarder Bea Kim said. “I personally am very proud to represent the United States. That being said, I think diversity is what makes us a very strong country and what makes that so special.”

Teammate Maddie Mastro added: “I’m also saddened with what’s happening at home."

“It’s really tough and I feel like we can’t turn a blind eye to that. But at the same time, I represent a country that has the same values as mine of kindness and compassion. And we come together in times of injustice,” Mastro said.

Gu called it “an unwinnable press war” for Hess and lamented the fact that the controversy could be a distraction for the athletes, and overshadow the beauty of the biggest event in winter sports.

“I’m sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the Olympics has to be something so ... unrelated to the spirit of the Games," she said. "It really runs contrary to everything that the Olympics should be.”

A wild week in men’s college basketball produced considerable shuffling in the updated USA TODAY Sports Top 25 coaches poll. The changes didn’t quite reach the very top, but that could change soon.

Arizona will spend at least one more week as the No. 1 team. The Wildcats received 30 of 31 first-place votes, but their perfect record will be on the line immediately as they visit surging Kansas in a Big Monday showdown. Michigan solidifies its hold on the No. 2 spot this week, even picking up a No.-1 vote.

The rest of the top 10 looks different, with several of Arizona’s fellow Big 12 contenders leading the charge. Houston makes the biggest move forward among the contenders, vaulting all the way from No. 8 to No. 3 after defeating Brigham Young. Iowa State is back up to No. 4. Kansas, as mentioned, is also on the move climbing to No. 9.

Connecticut slips a couple of positions to No. 5 after its Friday night loss at No. 17 St. John’s ended a run of 18 consecutive wins, and Duke also falls two places to No. 6 after Saturday’s last-second setback at No. 13 North Carolina. Illinois drops just one spot to No. 7 after its loss at No. 10 Michigan State, and Nebraska is back up a notch to No. 8. Gonzaga tumbles to No. 11 after its midweek loss at Portland but remains ahead of No. 12 Purdue.

Defending national champion Florida, back on top of the SEC standings, is also on the rise checking in at No. 14 this week. Iowa nudges back into the poll at No. 25 as Texas A&M drops out.

The Bottom 2 teams in the Western Conference will face off on Monday night as the New Orleans Pelicans host the Sacramento Kings.

While both teams have struggled to win games this year, New Orleans has been the better team in recent weeks, and I’m taking it to cover in my Kings vs. Pelicans predictions below.

Read on to see which bets I like for this matchup in my free NBA picks for Monday, February 9.

Kings vs Pelicans prediction

Kings vs Pelicans best bet: Pelicans -7.5 (-115)

When breaking down a game between two teams with very little motivation to win that are both sitting at the bottom of the standings, it’s often worth considering which side has been showing some signs of life. It’s clear the New Orleans Pelicans have been the better squad in recent weeks.

The Sacramento Kings are on the verge of setting a franchise record for most consecutive losses. They come into tonight’s game riding a 12-game losing streak and are playing with a roster that has often leaned on younger players with Keegan Murray, Malik Monk, Zach LaVine, and Domantas Sabonis missing time.

Most of those players are out again tonight, with Sabonis listed as questionable.

New Orleans is offering up the best version of their lineup right now. Zion Williamson (21.6 ppg) is healthy, and his presence and physicality always cause trouble for opponents when he’s able to take the court. He makes a solid pairing with Trey Murphy III (22.2 ppg).

New Orleans is 4-4 SU in its last eight games, and while that’s hardly setting the world on fire, it’s a bit of proof that this is a legitimate NBA team when healthy.

Kings vs Pelicans same-game parlay

The Pelicans have hit the Under in five of their last seven games, while Sacramento has come in Under on tonight’s total in five of its last seven contests.

Murphy has scored Over 22.5 points in each of his last three games.

Kings vs Pelicans SGP

• Pelicans -7.5
• Under 231
• Trey Murphy III Over 22.5 points

Our "from downtown" SGP: Derik from deep

Derik Queen appears to have fallen in love with the 3-pointer lately. The center has hit at least one in three of his last four games, and went 4-for-4 from deep against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Kings vs Pelicans SGP

• Pelicans -7.5
• Under 231
• Trey Murphy III Over 22.5 points
• Derik Queen Over 0.5 made threes

Kings vs Pelicans odds

• Spread: Kings +7.5 | Pelicans -7.5
• Moneyline: Kings +250 | Pelicans -310

Durant and Hakeem trade notes on post work, precision, and obsession, revealing how greatness lives in basketball’s smallest details in the latest Boardroom Talks.

The exchange unfolds less like an interview and more like a private gym conversation that just happens to have microphones on. Kevin Durant isn’t there to be praised, and Hakeem Olajuwon isn’t there to reminisce. They’re trading notes in the kind of dialogue that only makes sense when two players have lived inside the same details for decades.

Durant sets the tone by admitting he recently spent nearly 40 minutes watching nothing but post work, possession after possession, all the mid-post touches, face-ups, and subtle angles. It wasn’t about highlights or ego. It was about feeling the rhythm again, letting the movements reset his mind. Olajuwon immediately meets him there, talking not in generalities but in specifics: positioning, how ground is gained before the move even starts, how strength shows up in ways the eye doesn’t always catch.

From there, the conversation turns collaborative. Leverage. Timing. Durant nods along because he’s felt it himself. Olajuwon pushes the idea further, reinforcing that innovation doesn’t come from flash but from understanding when and how to apply force. Size and position matter less than precision.

There’s humility threaded throughout. Durant openly critiques himself, admitting he sometimes stands too upright, that his spin can be slow, that he knows exactly where the improvement is waiting. Olajuwon doesn’t posture or lecture. He offers small corrections, the kind only someone who mastered the craft can give. Less talk about highlights, more about the invisible details — the pounding dribble, the balance, the moment when the defender’s weight shifts just enough.

By the end, the conversation feels like a bridge between eras. Olajuwon represents the blueprint of post dominance; Durant is the evolution, stretching those principles across positions and body types no one once imagined could live there. What connects them is obsession. The willingness to watch, steal, tweak, and refine.

Two generations, one shared truth: Greatness is built in the details most people never notice. Be sure to catch the full conversation here.

The Detroit Pistons travel to the Bible Belt to take on the hottest team in the NBA. The Charlotte Hornets are winners of nine in a row, and they’ve been more than an exciting young core. They’re figuring it out.

The Pistons wear you out with defensive pressure and intensity, while the Charlotte Hornets zoom up and down the floor with an elite offense. With Charlotte’s recent surge and the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks slipping, Pistons-Hornets is a legit potential first-round matchup. Sign me up for that.

Game Vitals

When: 7:00 p.m. ET

Where: Spectrum Center, Charlotte, North Carolina

How: FanDuel Sports Network Detroit

Odds: Pistons -3

Analysis

The Pistons have been the best team in the East all year, but Charlotte dominated January. The Hornets had a league high 11 wins, the best net rating (11.5), the best offensive rating (121.1), and the fifth best defensive rating (109.6). That’s not a cute team; that’s a group one has to take seriously.

LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Kon Knueppel are the team’s foundation. Ball is known for why’d-he-shoot-that shots and lackadaisical defense, but he’s running the show on this winner. Those insane one-legged shot attempts are there, but he’s contributing to winning basketball.

Miller has the potential to be a perennial top 20 scorer. He’s smooth overall and can be vicious when attacking the basket. Knueppel is the easy rookie of the year front-runner in most seasons. His efficiency and shotmaking as a rookie aren’t normal. The way he attacks off the bounce and defends on the other end shouldn’t go under the radar. Knueppel is a complete player with limited holes.

Those are the three this thing in Charlotte starts with. Compare that to three of Detroit’s young core, and you’ll see Detroit still has the upper hand.

Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren (probable) are both All-Stars. Ausar Thompson will more than likely get some league honors under his belt after this season. Those three are as good as it gets as an under-25 trio. Add Ron Holland (out, personal) to the mix, and that’s a fantastic four that front offices would kill to have at their disposal.

Duren is a man amongst boys, but he needs to be ready to go in a matchup against Moussa Diabaté. Per Basketball-Reference, Diabaté is second in the league with a 17 percent offensive rebound percentage. Duren is actually third at 15 percent. Diabaté isn’t the rebounder Duren is overall, but he’s an energy bunny who doesn’t quit on the O glass. He’s the cherry on top of this Hornets roster. Charlotte is 15-8 when he starts this season.

Daniss Jenkins isn’t quite Detroit’s cherry on top, but he’s one of the X-factors who can swing a game. Jenkins is arguably the best two-way player story the league has seen. Congrats to him on getting a new contract. Detroit is going to need his shotmaking, creation for others, and his grit as we inch closer to the postseason.

How can you not love his post-game comments after the Knicks game? That massive chip on his shoulder fits right into Detroit’s contagious culture.

"Most of these dudes who got drafted,

What was the difference between me & them?

"Going undrafted's insanity to me

"Burns inside me every day.

They gonna have to see me

Every time we match up"

— New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) February 7, 2026

Every game moving forward is another opportunity for Kevin Heurter to get more comfortable in his new environment. Tonight wouldn’t be a bad time for him to find his spark because the Hornets let it fly!

Charlotte shoots the fourth most 3s in the association, and they make the 3rd most. Volume plus efficiency is the name of the game for the Hornets. We know that’s not Detroit’s forte, but they strangle teams defensively. This is the best Pistons defense since their early 2000’s run that featured the best modern-day defense.

If Detroit stays put at No. 1 in the East, I think this is a likely playoff matchup. The Hornets are the 10th seed and would need to win two play-in games on the road to secure the eighth seed if the postseason started today.

I’d favor Charlotte over any team in the East play-in. Orlando, Miami, and Atlanta aren’t as consistent as Charlotte. Orlando has more top-end talent, but the Hornets are on a string, and the roster has bought in.

If it is Pistons-Hornets in the first round, then Detroit wouldn’t have any “easy” matchups. The Hornets have shown they won’t be a cakewalk in any one-off game. The nature of the playoffs can change that when schemes get more tailored to the opponent, but Detroit taking Charlotte out of what they do would be a testament to their great team defense.

Lineups

Detroit Pistons (38-13)

Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren

Charlotte Hornets (25-28)

LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges, Moussa Diabaté

Question of the day

What’s been your favorite game of the year so far?

It’s been a weird week. An underwhelming trade deadline overlapped with what’s already been a successful West Coast swing. The Sixers are 3-1 — and could very easily be 4-0 — during this slate as they take on the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night. They’ll return home to play the red-hot New York Knicks Wednesday and then it’s time for the All-Star break.

So, how are you feeling now? Joel Embiid is looking more and more like Joel Embiid. Tyrese Maxey is still playing at a high level. Trendon Watford appears to emerging more and more as a solid bench piece. The main guys are still playing a ton of minutes, but it seems like Nick Nurse is mostly hitting the right buttons.

Hit me with your thoughts and questions in the comments.

The Utah Jazz head to South Beach tonight to face the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center, with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m. ET. 

Bam Adebayo is a beast on the boards, but my Jazz vs. Heat predictions think his total tonight is too high. 

Read more in my NBA picks for Monday, February 9. 

Jazz vs Heat prediction

Jazz vs Heat best bet: Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 rebounds (-115)

Bam Adebayo is a physical presence down low for the Miami Heat, averaging 9.8 rebounds per night. However, his total is 10.5 here, and based on Bam’s recent play, I see value in the Under. 

The big man has cashed the Under in boards in three of his last four appearances, only hitting double digits once during that span. He’s also averaging 9.6 rebounds at home compared to 9.9 on the road. 

While the Utah Jazz aren’t an elite rebounding team, they’re around the middle of the pack in boards allowed, and we have to remember they now have a new big man in Jaren Jackson Jr. 

I have no doubt Adebayo will be a factor down low tonight — I just don’t see him grabbing more than 10 rebounds. 

Jazz vs Heat same-game parlay

Jusuf Nurkic is an important piece for the Jazz, averaging 11 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. He’s cashed the Over in points in 13 of his last 14 games. With his total sitting at only 9.5 points, this one is a no-brainer.

Andrew Wiggins isn’t a super high-volume 3-point shooter, but he’s still draining 1.9 treys at a 39% clip. The Canadian wing has hit the Over back-to-back games and in three of his last four.

Jazz vs Heat SGP

• Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 rebounds
• Jusuf Nurkic Over 9.5 points
• Andrew Wiggins Over 1.5 threes

Our "from downtown" SGP: Dimes for days

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is averaging 4.7 dimes this season, and he’s cashed the Over in assists in two consecutive games.

Jazz vs Heat SGP

• Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 rebounds
• Jusuf Nurkic Over 9.5 points
• Andrew Wiggins Over 1.5 threes
• Jaime Jaquez Jr. Over 4.5 assists

• Moneyline: Jazz +245 | Heat -305
• Over/Under: Over 240 | Under 240

The Chicago Bulls are in the Big Apple tonight to face the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. 

Nic Claxton has struggled lately, and my Bulls vs. Nets predictions expect another quiet outing from the big man. 

Read more in my NBA picks for Monday, February 9. 

Bulls vs Nets prediction

Bulls vs Nets best bet: Nic Claxton Under 12.5 points (-112)

Nic Claxton is having a respectable campaign for the Brooklyn Nets. However, he hasn’t been scoring the rock at a very high level over the last couple of weeks. 

The big man has cashed the Under in points in seven of his previous eight appearances, and he’s averaging just 11 points per game across three meetings with the Chicago Bulls this season. 

He’s also hit the Under in points in two straight contests at the Barclays Center.

Bulls vs Nets same-game parlay

Noah Clowney has hit the Over in points in two of his last four, and he just scored 18 on Saturday at home against Washington. He’s also averaging 16.7 ppg this season vs. Chicago. 

Matas Buzelis is a respectable 3-point shooter, averaging 2.0 makes on 5.5 attempts. He’s averaging 2.2 makes on the road at a 41% clip, and has hit the Over in two of his last three. 

Bulls vs Nets SGP

• Nic Claxton Under 12.5 points
• Noah Clowney Over 14.5 points
• Matas Buzelis Over 2.5 threes

Our "from downtown" SGP: Board room

Nolan Traore has grabbed Over 2.5 rebounds in three straight games.

Bulls vs Nets SGP

• Nic Claxton Under 12.5 points
• Noah Clowney Over 14.5 points
