The NBA's Trade Deadline culminates on Thursday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. EST, but that hasn't stopped four teams from making some major moves.

The Portland Trail Blazers tipped off the big moves of the day when they traded away longtime shooting guard C.J. McCollum to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The full scope of the deal includes McCollum, forward Larry Nance Jr, and swingman Tony Snell. In exchange, Portland receives combo guard/forward Josh Hart, Nickeil Walker-Alexander, veteran Tomas Satoransky, Didi Louzada, along with a protected first rounder and two second round picks.

Meanwhile, a few hours later, the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers struck a deal involving several other stars. The Pacers ship Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb to the Kings for guard Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson.

All four of these teams are in action tonight in the Association. Over at WynnBET Sportsbook, the Pacers are 12-point underdogs in Atlanta tonight against the Hawks, the Pelicans host the Houston Rockets as 10-point favorites, the Kings are 7-point home dogs vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Blazers and Orlando Magic are currently set at a pick 'em.

How do these Trades Impact Today's Lines for the Pacers, Pelicans, Kings and Blazers?

Before the Pacers-Kings trade went down, Indiana had opened as 6-point underdogs on the road against Atlanta before the line moved up another six points. Per our Peter Dewey, the Hawks have gone 23-2 vs. the spread when they've won outright this year. They've also gone an astonishing 0-28 ATS in losses.

The Pelicans, who have gone 18-16 after starting the year 3-16 opened as 7-point favorites in their home game against the Rockets. Despite the deal and several notable players on the move, the line has still moved all the way to -10.

In the late tip-offs, the Kings opened as a short 3-point home dog against the Timberwolves, but the line has moved four points towards Minnesota who looks to win their fifth straight.

Lastly, the Blazers began the day as 3.5-point favorites at home vs. the Orlando Magic, tied with the Detroit Pistons for the least number of wins this season with 12. Now, the line has shifted a full 3.5 points to a pick 'em.
