The Oklahoma City Thunder have recalled guard Jeremy Lamb and center Daniel Orton from the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

Lamb has appeared in 14 games (all starts) with the 66ers this season, averaging 21.1 points (1st in NBA D-League), 5.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.4 minutes.

Orton has seen action in 19 games (all starts) with Tulsa this season, averaging 11.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.1 blocks (6th in NBA D-League) in 28.7 minutes.

Kevin Martin will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and said that he prefers to re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Martin is making $12.4 million this season and will surely take a pay cut at this stage of his career.

"This summer, hopefully everything works out here," Martin said on Wednesday. "I haven't said that too often. But I will put it out there; hopefully I have found a home in the NBA. I love playing with this group of guys. The organization is great to me. The community has been great to me. It's the happiest I have been during my NBA career."

The Thunder acquired Martin in a multi-player trade when they were unable to agree to an extension with James Harden.

"We will handle anything contractual at the appropriate time when the season is concluded," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. "We certainly are pleased with [Martin] and excited about how he has fit in and how hard he has worked to fit in."

Fifteen teams have at least one All-Star (Knicks, Heat, Celtics, Bulls, Pacers, 76ers, Blazers, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors and Grizzlies), while 15 teams do not have a representative (Hawks, Nets, Bobcats, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pistons, Bucks, Wolves, Hornets, Magic, Suns, Kings, Raptors, Jazz and Wizards).

The 76ers and Cavaliers each sent a Coaches Vote All-Star despite a losing record, while the Lakers and Celtics have two starters despite a sub-.500 record.

The Nets, Hawks, Bucks, Nuggets and Jazz all have a record over .500 and no All-Stars. 

The All-Star starters are LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

The Chicago Bulls’ Carlos Boozer and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant today were named Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, Jan. 14 through Sunday, Jan. 20.

Boozer led the Bulls to a 3-1 week, which included wins over the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors. He averaged 23.0 points (fourth in the conference) and a league-leading 14.8 rebounds. Boozer recorded a point-rebound double-double in all four contests, including a 19-point, 20-rebound game on Jan. 18 during a 100-99 win over the Boston Celtics.

Durant helped Oklahoma City to a 3-1 record on the week, which included wins over the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. He averaged a league-best 37.5 points and recorded a career and NBA-season-high 52 points on January 18 during a 117-114 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks.

The NBA has announced its starters for the 2013 All-Star Game.

Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul are the starting guards for the Western Conference with the frontcourt consisting of Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin.

On the Eastern Conference team are LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo.

Bryant was the leading vote-getter, narrowly beating James.

Only six NBA teams are represented of the 10 starters.

Kevin Durant wanted to play for the Toronto Raptors as a young player growing up in Washington, D.C.

"They were a new team when I was growing up, so I wanted to be a part of that," Durant said.

Durant was a big fan of Vince Carter, who played for the Raptors from 1998-2004.

"His enthusiasm he showed, just his athleticism, and how he brought Toronto from being one of the newer teams in the league to almost going to the finals,” Durant said. “He changed the culture there in Toronto."

Kevin Durant is on track to become just the sixth NBA player to shoot 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line for an entire season.

“I don't know if I can keep it up for the whole season,” Durant said. “I've been shooting a lot of 3s lately. I've got to cut down on those. I've got to shoot better shots.”

Durant is now shooting 52.5 percent from the field, 40.2 from three-point range and 90.1 percent from the line.

Durant's shooting percentages add up to 182.8.

“Anytime you're over a 170 shooter, that's outstanding,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “He's shooting at a level only a few guys in the history of the game have. He's done that all year. We hope he can continue that. He's so consistent, it's like Groundhog Day. Every day you see KD working on his game.”

The NBA announced on Monday that Brandon Jennings and Kevin Durant were named Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, Jan. 7 through Sunday, Jan. 13.

Jennings led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 3-1 week, including come-from-behind road victories over the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors. He spearheaded both efforts, scoring 20 points in the third quarter of the Jan. 9 game at Chicago, 12 of which came from behind the arc. He was second in the Eastern Conference in scoring with 24.5 ppg while shooting 48 percent from the field for the week to go along with 6.5 apg and 4.0 rpg.

Durant helped the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 3-1 record last week, scoring more than 25 points in each contest, including a season-high 42 points in Los Angeles against the Lakers on Jan. 11. He averaged a league-best 32.5 points to go with 6.8 rpg and 5.5 apg.

The Oklahoma City Thunder has recalled forward Perry Jones and center Daniel Orton from the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

Including his 13 point and 18 rebound effort this past Friday against the Santa Cruz Warriors, Jones has appeared in 11 games (all starts) with the 66ers this season and recorded averages of 14.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 33.0 minutes.

Orton has seen action in 16 games with the 66ers this season (all starts) and posted averages of 11.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.81 blocks in 29.1 minutes.

With nearly half of the 12-13 NBA season, analysts have a fairly clear idea of which teams are playoff contenders and which are firmly in the lottery.

The change in popularity of teams based on ticket prices on the secondary market based on data from VividSeats.com is also revealing.

The Brooklyn Nets have the largest increase in price from last season, with a 105 percent jump from their final season in New Jersey.

The Chicago Bulls have the NBA's largest decrease at 27 percent, undoubtedly related to the injury to Derrick Rose.

Despite the departure of Dwight Howard, the Orlando Magic have only had a decrease of four percent. Also noteworthy is that the Houston Rockets have a four percent decrease even though the team seemingly improved their markability with the acquisitions of James Harden and Jeremy Lin.
