No Kidd-ing? They insist they're not under any added pressure to trade for Jason Kidd after L.A.'s theft of Gasol. After consecutive losses at Boston and Detroit, that feeling might change -- even if injuries (especially Devin Harris' ankle) have been a factor. |

They're celebrating Brandon Roy's well-deserved selection to the All-Star team. But with six losses in their last 11 games, they need their second-year phenom to help them get back to their winning ways. |

They opened 1-2 on their nine-game road trip with four more contests this week, including Sunday's clash at Boston. They're hoping Stoudamire can provide a steady hand at the point in the absence of the injured Tony Parker (heel). |

Carmelo Anthony returned from a five-game absence to lead them to Saturday's win against the Bobcats. It was their eighth straight victory at home, improving their season record to 19-5 at the Pepsi Center. |

They downed the Hornets and Bulls over the weekend to make it four straight as they continue to take advantage of the home schedule. Good idea, since they end February with nine of 10 on the road. |

Andrea Bargnani is showing signs of coming out of his seasonlong slump. The former No. 1 pick scored a career-high 28 points in Friday's loss to the Lakers, following a 19-point effort in a win over Washington. |

Caron Butler (hip injury) returned to action Sunday vs. the Lakers, but might wish he had not. His Wizards dropped their third straight game, and Butler's NBA season-high streak of consecutive free throws ended at 73. |

They are still hanging on in the East playoff race despite a 6-15 road record, and Joe Johnson made the All-Star team despite shooting just 40.5 percent this season. Maybe their luck is starting to turn. |

Move over, Muggsy Bogues. Newly signed Earl Boykins is the new little man in Charlotte. The 5-foot-5 dynamo might be a little rusty, however. He went scoreless Saturday at Denver, the Bobcats' sixth loss in eight games. |

Friday's two-point loss to the Magic snapped their two-game winning streak, but they continue to play better than expected. With six of their next seven at home, they hope to build on the positive energy. |
