Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a simple but strong message for Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets following Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors: “Who do we want to be?” The Nuggets looked nowhere near the top seeds in the West with the way they are playing recently. They even lost to the San Antonio Spurs who […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine couldn’t care less what people say about his defense. After all, he knows himself what he can do on that end of the floor and what he brings to the team. LaVine said as much after helping the Bulls take down the Minnesota Timberwolves in double overtime on Friday, during […]

Friday’s marquee matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers was not short in action. As a matter of fact, it needed a last-second Maxi Kleber triple to decide a winner. That turned out to be the Mavs, who escaped with a 111-110 win over a LeBron James-less Lakers side in the most […]

Joel Embiid is on a magnificent tear. The Philadelphia 76ers star big man churned out yet another great performance, as he led his team to a 141-121 victory over the Indiana Pacers at home Saturday night. The Sixers center muscled out 31 points to go with seven rebounds and seven assists in just 30 minutes […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (48-22) and Indiana Pacers (32-39) faced off with each side’s respective floor generals, James Harden and Tyrese Haliburton, just two of the multiple players to sit out. The Sixers completed a clean sweep against Indy for the season and collected their eighth consecutive win by a score of 141-121. Let’s break down […]

Robert Williams will miss his eighth consecutive game for the Boston Celtics when they take on the Utah Jazz on Saturday. The 25-year-old has been out of commission due to a lingering hamstring problem, and Celtics fans have been anticipating the return of their high-energy big man. As it turns out, Boston supporters might not […]

The Duke Blue Devils saw their 10-game winning streak come to a devastating end on Saturday night at the hands of the Tennessee Volunteers. It wasn’t a good day for Duke fans everywhere as they saw their title hopes thrown out the window following a heartbreaking 65-52 loss against No. 4 Tennessee. Unsurprisingly, this was […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has yet to return from his bothersome foot injury, but it sure looks like he’s getting close. James hinted as much in his latest Instagram story showing him getting some sort of treatment. While we’re not sure what he’s doing, James did write in the caption that he’s “recharging.” […]

Anthony Davis had a forgettable evening on Friday as the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks at the buzzer. AD had a chance to seal the deal for LA late in the game, but his missed free throw gave the Mavs an opportunity to steal the game […]

It has now been nearly a month since we last saw LeBron James in action for the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, recent reports indicate that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer isn’t exactly close to returning. Be that as it may, LeBron is apparently doing everything he can to get himself back into shape as he […]

Anthony Edwards could be out longer after he injured his ankle on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. He has already been sidelined for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Saturday game against the Toronto Raptors. According to head coach Chris Finch, they have no timetable for Edwards’ return, meaning he is out indefinitely. The Timberwolves will get further […]

Trae Young played a key role in the Atlanta Hawks’ 127-119 win over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Young even came up with a game-sealing steal on Curry late in the contest that prompted a savage finger-wag celebration from the Hawks star. Atlanta is back in action on Sunday against […]

The Phoenix Suns snapped their three-game losing streak on Thursday with a 116-113 win over the Orlando Magic. They are back in action on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder as they kick off a critical three-game road trip in the West, but at this point, the Suns will need to try and secure a […]

Jordan Poole gave the Golden State Warriors a much-needed offensive jolt late in the third quarter of Friday’s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. He’d scored just two points up to then, shooting 1-of-6 overall and clanking all three of his triples while contributing to his team’s inability to contain the ball and lazy transition defense […]

The red-hot Philadelphia 76ers will be putting their seven-game winning streak to the test against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Sixers, James Harden has popped up on the injury report due to a left foot injury, and they will now need to try and navigate a win against a Tyrese Haliburton-less […]

Nikola Jokic wants the rest of the team to wake up. With the Denver Nuggets losing once again Saturday, this time at the hands of the New York Knicks, the superstar big man is now really alarmed. The Nuggets are still at the top of the West with a 47-24 record, but they have won […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. Anthony Edwards is on the injury report alongside Rudy Gobert, with both players initially listed as questionable. Edwards left Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls in the first quarter after he suffered an ankle injury and had to be helped back to the locker room. […]

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter made an early exit in Thursday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets after injuring his popliteus muscle. Despite being without one of their best offensive players for the lion’s share of the contest, the Kings went on to beat the Nets by a final score of 101-96. Still, when the Kings […]

The Washington Wizards are in dire need of a win on Saturday night when they take on the Sacramento Kings. The Wizards have lost four out of their last five games, and have fallen out of the Play-In picture out in the East. The problem for Washington is that star center Kristaps Porzingis is currently […]

Utah Jazz star guard Jordan Clarkson has missed the last four games due to a finger injury. Unsurprisingly, without arguably their second-best player, the Jazz have done little more than tread water in the Western Conference standings, as they own a 2-2 record since he’s been out. So when Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the […]

Boston Celtics big man Al Horford put together a fantastic all-around performance in Friday’s contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He scored 12 points — on 3-for-4 shooting from behind the three-point arc — dished out a whopping ten assists and grabbed five rebounds in a game the Celtics went on to win by a […]

Metropolitans 92 big man Victor Wembanyama has become an NBA Draft sensation. Standing tall at 7-foot-3, the lanky power forward is a human highlight reel, with the social media age only adding to the sensationalism that surrounds the Frenchman. As Wembanyama has made waves with his relatively unique combination of size and skill, there are […]

Josh Hart was traded by the Portland Trail Blazers to the New York Knicks at the trade deadline last month. However, he still has positive feelings about former coach Chauncey Phillips even though his day-to-day focus is helping the Knicks win games. And I’ll run through a wall for Chauncey. He’s a hell of coach […]

Jonathan Kuminga missed three games earlier this month due to a left ankle injury. The Golden State Warriors forward is now dealing with soreness in his right ankle, and he has popped up on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s marquee matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. As such, the question on the minds of Dubs […]

The weekend has started off on the wrong foot for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Friday night, the team lost star guard Anthony Edwards to an ankle injury before falling on the road to the Chicago Bulls in double overtime. The loss plunged them below.500 at 35-36 and only one game clear of  the 11th-place Utah Jazz. […]

With March Madness upon us, it’s worth looking into how some of the greatest NBA players today first showcased their talent at the collegiate level. Although the NBA has seen a lot of international prospects as of late, the NCAA remains to be the biggest hotbed of NBA prospects. While some NBA players make the […]

The NBA MVP race is as compelling and newsworthy than it has been quite a while. There have been daily debates analyzing criteria like individual excellence, team success and durability. Though, Hall of Fame point guard Walt “Clyde” Frazier believes there is no debate at all, and Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid should be awarded […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before but Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry has not been having his best season. Averaging 11.9 points and 5.2 assists per game, his lowest averages since the 2013-14 season, Lowry has not only been unable to discover his touch from the floor but has also been hampered by injuries. […]

The Boston Celtics haven’t been playing great basketball since the All-Star break, but they have managed to string together two straight wins, with their victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night being about as commanding of a victory as we have seen from Boston in awhile. The C’s play the Utah Jazz on […]

Steph Curry knows what it’s like to be targeted on defense by superstar ball handlers. The Golden State Warriors superstar has worked tirelessly to become a viable one-on-one defender in the back half of his career, no longer the wallflower he was even at the start of the defending champions’ dynasty. Trae Young, compared to […]

After Penn State upset Texas A&M in their March Madness first round game, the university decided it wanted Micah Shrewsberry to be the coach of this team long term.

The 2023 NBA Draft will take place on June 22, and with March Madness in full swing, many NBA teams have their best scouts in the bleachers. However, while many mock drafts simply attempt to find the best players available for the team picking them, the following mock draft takes into account the needs of […]

Sports talk show hosts have a very fine line to balance. They have to be edgy enough that people make watching their show a regular ritual but not too provocative as to carry no credibility whatsoever. Ever the trapeze artist, Colin Cowherd was determined to walk that edge when it came to his latest take […]

Every year, the NBA holds the draft. It’s a chance for various NBA teams to bolster their roster with the top basketball prospects around the world. As of late, we’ve seen international prospects come from professional leagues. On the other hand, 90% of the draft is still composed of players from the NCAA, particularly Division […]

The Portland Trail Blazers got off to a good start this season but things have fizzled as the final stretch of the regular season approaches. The Blazers are hanging on to a thread for their playoff hopes and that has drawn critics of head coach Chauncey Billups. Some have even called for Billups to be […]
