The NBA trade deadline has come and gone!

Some teams made massive moves, and others upgraded around the edges. In this article, I will be ranking the top title contenders as of now, while also highlighting their DraftKings Sportsbook odds movement pre/post-trade deadline.

No. 5: Philadelphia 76ers

All hopes of Philly finally breaking through and winning it all lie with this man. Joel Embiid has re-inserted himself into the MVP race after a ridiculous recent stretch of play. The star big man is averaging a career-high 33.3 points per game, along with 10.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists.

The 76ers have jumped to the No. 3 seed in the East at the time of this article's publication. While they didn't make a huge move at the deadline, the team did acquire Jalen McDaniels from Charlotte and earned one of our highest trade grades of the day.

PHILLY LANDS JALEN MCDANIELS

76ers get: McDaniels (A)

Trail Blazers get: Thybulle (C+)

Hornets get: Multiple second-round picks & Mykhailiuk (C)

Weird move by the Hornets, as McDaniels fit their timeline. HUGE upgrade for Philly, and the Blazers take a flyer on Thybulle.
