A week before the NBA's trade deadline, USA TODAY Sports looks at where teams stand and their chances of winning the title:

The NBA's triple-double boom, riding giants at Nazaré, the Utah Hockey Club needs a name, Scheffler makes his return, FireAid benefit concert in L.A., and more.

Let’s have fun by starting with trading De’Aaron Fox.

Duke’s Cooper Flagg is the obvious No. 1 pick. He’s lived up to the hype during his freshman year with the Blue Devils, and will be expected to be an All-NBA player by the time he reaches his prime. Behind Flagg, there are a number of prospects who have a pathway to NBA stardom but also have scary downside scenarios if they don’t hit.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished with an absurd 52 points on 16-of-29 shooting. He went 18-of-21 at the free-throw line. It was his second career 50-point outburst after he eclipsed his career-high to 54 points a little over a week ago.

With this performance, Shai also made NBA history. He became the only Canadian-born player to record multiple games with 50 or more points. Of course, he was tied with fellow Canadian-born player Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets with one 50-point game, but after his incredible performance Wednesday night, Shai now stands alone at the top.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has started the Oklahoma City Thunder's game against the Golden State Warriors in phenomenal fashion. In the first quarter, Shai put up 21 points (7-8 FG), two rebounds, and two assists to help the Thunder score 34 points.

With 3:10 remaining in the third quarter, the former Davidson star hit a step-back three to tie the game up at 77, his 12th point of the game and 24,506th of his career. In doing so, Curry (24,515) has now passed Allen (24,505) for 27th on the all-time scoring list. The Warriors announced the historic feat on X.
