TIP-INS

Warriors: G D'Angelo Russell was out with a bruised right quadriceps. Russell has been a rumored trade target in advance of Thursday's deadline. “It affects everyone," coach Steve Kerr said. “It's no fun having your name mentioned in trade talks. I can speak from experience. It's sort of a jarring thing when you read about yourself and the possibility that you might be moved.”Golden State beat Washington for the sixth straight time.

Wizards: Besides Hachimura, C Moe Wagner returned after missing 24 games with a sprained left ankle. He scored eight points in 11 minutes.With Wagner back, C Anzejs Pasecniks will spend time with the G League DC Go-Go, coach Scott Brooks said. “Right now, he's out of the mix,” Brooks said.
