MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have acquired guard Courtney Lee and have sent guard Jerryd Bayless to the Boston Celtics as part of a three-team trade that also includes the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Under terms of the deal announced Tuesday, the Grizzlies get Lee and a 2016 second-round draft pick from Boston. The Celtics get Bayless and also receive forward Ryan Gomes from Oklahoma City. The Grizzlies sent a 2014 second-round pick they’d acquired from Philadelphia in August and a 2017 second-round pick to the Thunder. Both picks going to Oklahoma City are conditional.
In a separate move, the Celtics said they have waived Gomes, who had appeared in five games for the Thunder this season and had six points and four rebounds in 34 minutes of action.
Lee has averaged 7.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.8 minutes per game this season. The 6-foot-5 guard is shooting 44.2 percent from 3-point range.
Bayless had six points in 25 minutes in the Celtics’ 129-98 loss to the Denver Nuggets later Tuesday.
Randy Foye scored a season-high 23 points, connecting on seven 3-pointers, for Denver.
Jeff Green led Boston with 17 points.
Kings 123, Trail Blazers 119
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins had 35 points and 13 rebounds, Rudy Gay scored 32 points and the Kings held off a furious rally to beat Portland.

Damian Lillard scored 26 of his 41 points in the final period to pull Portland within two in the final minute. But the Kings made just enough free throws to hold off the Blazers.
Cavaliers 111, 76ers 93
CLEVELAND — C.J. Miles set a team record with 10 3-pointers and scored a season-high 34 points, leading Cleveland over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
