NBA:
The Trail Blazers are 22 – 22 on the season after a three-game win streak. Yesterday, results of All Star game voting were revealed: Deni Avdija came up just short of being voted a starter in the overall tally of fans, players, and media… but the fans picked him as the 5th highest Western Conference player. Due to next month’s U.S.-born vs International format for the All Star game it’s likely Avdija will start for the international squad.
Next up, it’s a break until Thursday when the Heat visit.
NFL:

The Seahawks will host the Los Angeles Rams Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
