The Charlotte Hornets have made their second trade of the calendar year, completing a draft pick swap with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jeff Peterson and the Hornets sent a conditional second-round pick in 2030 that originally belonged to the Nuggets to Oklahoma City in exchange for the Phoenix Suns' second-round pick in 2029.

The Washington Wizards are one of the few teams that are scoring worse than the Hornets, and that’s saying a lot, as the Wizards rank 27th, putting up a lowly 106.9 points per contest. However, their defense finally came to the rescue, as Washington snapped a mammoth 16-game losing streak with a 105-103 road win over Minnesota.

The Thunder acquired the Denver Nuggets' 2030 second-round draft pick from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the Phoenix Suns' 2029 second-round pick.
