Three quick things to know about the NBA trade deadline:

When: Thursday, 3 p.m.

Biggest moves so far: The Lakers, Mavericks and Jazz completing a three-team trade that sends Luka Doncic to Los Angeles and Anthony Davis; Miami trading Jimmy Butler to the Warriors for three players and future draft picks.

Will the Hawks make a move? The team will look to make a move despite a few of the names linked to the Hawks leaving the trade market. The team has held out veterans Bogdan Bogdanovic and Clint Capela for several games leading to the deadline. The Hawks also have De’Andre Hunter, who has had a breakout season, as a key asset that can net them potential draft pick or several young players that could add to their core.
