LOS ANGELES – It was a night that started out as the worst half of basketball all season. It ended in absolute mayhem as Reggie Jackson and Nicolas Batum led the LA Clippers past Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers scored just 28 points in the first half, their lowest since scoring 27 […]

The Utah Jazz are sitting in a good position once again this season as they have certainly played like one of the best teams in basketball for this regular season. As we have seen with Utah in the past few seasons, their play in the regular season usually doesn’t translate to the postseason and that’s […]

The Charlotte Hornets are going to be in an interesting position for the next few months because they have been playing some excellent basketball. They have certainly exceeded expectations this year as they are currently 22-19 despite many of the injuries that they have had to face. There is clearly a need for a center […]

The New York Knicks have not followed up their playoff season last year with a good start. After the first half of the games played, they are 20-21 and three games back of the 6th seed that guarantees playoffs.

After a surprising playoff appearance last […]

Dallas has some bad contracts on the roster that they do need to […]

The Detroit Pistons are going to have some interesting decisions to make in the rest of the 2022 season because it seems likely that they are going to get rid of Jerami Grant and go even further into a rebuild mode than they already are in. If the Pistons want to have any success in […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to have some interesting decisions to make in the remainder of 2022. They could decide to potentially get rid of a guy like D’Angelo Russell, even though that would not be a smart decision for this organization. There have been many rumors that they were going to go after Ben […]

Anfernee Simons needed 24 shots to score 23 points in his depleted team’s stunning 114-108 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night at Moda Center. Don’t fret about that inefficiency, though.

The Detroit Pistons are going to have a tough decision to make when they do decide to get rid of Jerami Grant at the NBA trade deadline. It seems inevitable at this point that they are going to trade him and if they don’t trade him for the package that he warrants, Detroit can find […]

It is no secret Joel Embiid has been the driving force for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. He has elevated his game to new heights and led the charge on both ends every night.

Mostly. While the […]

The Dallas Mavericks are somewhat stabilizing after a poor start. The Luka Doncic-led Mavs are sitting 5th in the Western Conference.

The New York Knicks are off to a disappointing start this season. The current cornerstones of the Knicks’ franchise are Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.

The Los Angeles Lakers were pitted for a title challenge this season. Unfortunately, it has not gone well.

This should be an exciting interconference matchup for Tuesday night. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Suns-Raptors prediction and pick.

The Brooklyn Nets had a rather unusual set of circumstances for their game in Portland versus the Trailblazers. They played in overtime on Sunday at home where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-119. But then they had to hop a six-hour cross country flight for a back-t0-back in Oregon. Not everyone was able to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets faced off for the second over the past week Monday night. While Houston would be on their home floor this time around, they suffered a similar fate. Behind another masterclass from Joel Embiid, the Sixers won by a final score of 111-91. This victory extended their season-long win streak […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently the hottest team in the NBA with nine straight wins. They have also gone 19-4 since starting the season with a 9-10 mark. The emergence of these young and confident Grizzlies have been one of the best stories of the season so far. Much of the spotlight—and deservingly so—is going […]

The Sacramento Kings are one of the more interesting teams in basketball because they certainly have the talent to compete in the Western Conference but have just failed to do so the past few years. They are currently the 12th seed in the Western Conference and sit at 16-26. When looking at the Kings roster, […]

The Brooklyn Nets have the second game of a back-to-back on the road to take on the Portland Trailblazers who are still missing Damian Lillard due to an abdominal injury.

They have some of the most talent in basketball including a few players who are potential all-star-caliber guys. They just don’t seem interested in being with the Pacers anymore and that’s […]
