The Washington Wizards will be looking to end a three-game losing skid on Tuesday against the lowly Detroit Pistons, but they are going to be without a key contributor. Kyle Kuzma picked up a knee injury on Sunday versus the Philadelphia 76ers and was listed as questionable for this matchup until Tuesday morning. He’s now […]

It seems like no other MVP candidate has been put under a microscope much like Nikola Jokic has been in recent weeks. Some pundits have even wondered whether race plays a huge part in the Denver Nuggets star’s MVP candidacy. Amid all the noise, however, there are some legitimate concerns regarding the merits of making […]

Jayson Tatum accepted responsibility for the Celtics’ disappointing defeat to the Houston Rockets on Monday night. The Celtics never really got going as they were outworked in just about every facet of basketball by the league-worst Rockets who ended up winning 111-109. It was another bad loss for Boston with Tatum notably opening the game […]

From Splash Brothers to Wright Brothers? Well, not quite. Though the Golden State Warriors were certainly flying high after their 123-112 win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.

The Golden State Warriors got the last laugh Monday night when they defeated Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns in a battle between Pacific Division rivals at home, 123-112. Just like everyone else, Stephen Curry was left in awe of the amazing shooting display teammate Klay Thompson put up in the game, particularly in the […]

Paul George is one of the best two-way players in the league today. That has always been the Los Angeles Clippers’ claim to fame: he was an elite defender dating back to his days in Indiana. His MVP campaign in 2019 hinged on his two-way prowess. However, George made a bonkers claim that had many […]

There is, perhaps, no stronger bond than that of family. While family can come from all sorts of places, nothing seems to compare to the love from one’s own blood. And on Monday night, with the Golden State Warriors taking home a convincing 123-112 wire-to-wire victory against the Phoenix Suns, Steph Curry saw that this […]

Ja Morant has continuously made headlines for all the wrong reasons of late. The Memphis Grizzlies star has missed several games and counting following his most recent gun-related transgression and has since checked into a facility to help him change for the better. Morant has put a handful of his endorsement deals at risk just […]

Things got heated between the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings at the end of Monday night’s game, after Trey Lyles gave Giannis Antetokounmpo what Brook Lopez called, a “cheap” shot. “I thought what that guy did to Giannis was cheap,” Lopez told Mark Haynes of Sideline Sources afterwards. “He didn’t need to do any of […]

The tail end of the game between the Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks got heated way too quickly. With the game already over, Trey Lyles shoved Giannis Antetokounmpo from behind while the latter was dribbling the ball. That prompted a reaction from Giannis’ teammate Brook Lopez, confronting Lyles and starting a scuffle with the […]

Klay Thompson dropped a game-high 38 points on Monday night, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 123-112 victory over the Phoenix Suns.

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors rose to the occasion with the Phoenix Suns in town on Monday night, using a scintillating start to beat their division rivals 123-112. The victory marks the defending champions’ ninth straight at Chase Center, pushing their home record to 29-7, fourth-best in the NBA. Everyone knows by now […]

Amid the Phoenix Suns’ 123-112 wire-to-wire defeat against the Golden State Warriors, it was Stephen Curry’s trash talk towards Chris Paul that grabbed headlines. After scoring an and-one on the Suns guard along the baseline, Curry yelled out “this ain’t 2014 no more”, which appeared to be a shot at the last time Paul had […]

This isn’t the same old Sacramento Kings that we have grown accustomed to for the past 17 years, their 133-124 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night notwithstanding. The Kings’ moves over the past year or so, including the hiring of head coach Mike Brown, marked a huge culture shift that bodes well for […]

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic doubled down on his belief that defense remains the biggest problem for the team. In fact, he even went as far as to saying that it’s the Mavs’ “weak point.” Doncic shared as much in his appearance on ESPN ahead of the Mavs’ second straight meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies […]

There are a few players in the NBA that you genuinely don’t want to mess with. And Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez is one of them.

It looks like Joe Mazzulla is bothered now. After playing down the Boston Celtics’ struggles last week, the team remains unable to really solve their woes. On Monday, they finally hit rock-bottom after losing to the league-worst Houston Rockets. Jaylen Brown erupted for a 43-piece in the contest, while Jayson Tatum bagged 22 points for […]

A lot has changed since 2014 – especially for the Golden State Warriors. Nine years ago, the Warriors were a middle-of-the-pack team in the Western Conference, Stephen Curry hasn’t yet won an MVP, and Draymond Green was yet to emerge as the two-way force he grew to become. That was the year the Warriors suffered […]

Prior to the Phoenix Suns’ visit to play the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night, Steve Kerr told reporters he thinks Dubs fans will give Kevin Durant “the applause and energy that he deserves for everything he did,” as reported by ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. Durant once again missed a chance to play in front of the […]

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson has had some incredible shooting performances throughout his career. With fellow Splash Brother Stephen Curry sidelined recently due to injury, Thompson has stepped it up and was instrumental in the Warriors recent five-game win streak. Curry has since returned to the lineup and Thompson has kept up his strong […]

For much of the 2022-23 season, it looked like the Boston Celtics were playing on cruise control, having sat atop the Eastern Conference standings for a considerable stretch. However, over the past few weeks, it seems like the cracks in the Celtics’ foundation are beginning to show. And their performance on Monday night against the […]

The Houston Rockets are on pace to finish with the worst record in the NBA for the third season in a row. As frustrating as it can be for fans of a franchise that has grown accustomed to winning over the greater part of the last 20 years, bottoming out has helped the Rockets accumulate […]

The Golden State Warriors would not have won four titles in eight years had it not been for Stephen Curry. However, it’s also true that the greatest shooter of all time would not be where he is today had it not been for Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Together, this trio has carried the Dubs […]

The Memphis Grizzlies continue to find success on the court despite the absence of star point guard Ja Morant.

The Golden State Warriors are one of the worst teams on the road this season, and it doesn’t look like they can resolve it with just a few games left this 2022-23 campaign. However, head coach Steve Kerr apparently knows where their biggest issue lies. Speaking on NBA TV ahead of their home game against […]

Monday night’s matchup against the defending champs Golden State Warriors would have been a very intriguing contest for Kevin Durant as he faces off against one of his former teams.

The New York Knicks are in the midst of a tough West Coast road trip and they’ve been without the services of star point guard Jalen Brunson due to injury. Brunson has missed four of the past five games with a foot injury. Brunson actually played in the Knicks first game of this road trip […]

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is in the midst of an MVP caliber season and has been etching his name in the NBA record books along the way.

There was a time when the Nets — the then-New Jersey Nets — were the kings of the Eastern Conference. Part of those dominant Nets teams was forward Richard Jefferson, who still vividly remembers the time when he and the Nets consistently devour the Boston Celtics. Reacting to a recent quip by Celtics legend and […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are currently in the thick of an all-out battle for the final few Play-In spots in the Western Conference.
