The Brooklyn Nets are the hottest team in the NBA right now. The fact that they’re in the midst of a 12-game winning streak is a clear testament to this fact.

The Miami Heat will not have power forward Nikola Jovic for at least a month due to an upper-body issue, according to Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel. Heat announce Nikola Jovic out at least four weeks with a lower-back stress reaction, then will be evaluated. Jovic has not appeared in any of the Heat’s last […]

Basketball fans are starting to learn that De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings are a team they should not be sleeping on. The Kings are having success under Mike Brown in the 2022-23 NBA season, but they still have long ways to go to get on the level where they will get respected in the […]

Keldon Johnson has been on quite a tear for the San Antonio Spurs of late. In his last three games, this young man has averaged 27.3 points on 52.8 percent shooting, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks, while also connecting on 3.0 triples per game on a highly-efficient 47.4 percent clip. To say that Johnson has […]

The Detroit Pistons 2022-23 season has been a pretty big waste early on, with young guard Cade Cunningham getting ruled out for the season after playing just 12 games. At 10-30, the Pistons have the worst record in the NBA, and unfortunately, the latest update on Marvin Bagley’s injury status won’t make things any better […]

Both Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have a big decision to make in the coming months. The 30-year-old’s current contract with the Nets is set to expire at the end of this season, which means that unless he signs an extension soon, he’s going to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. At one […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is deemed questionable to play this coming Wednesday against the Miami Heat at home. Meanwhile, in other news, water is wet. The four-time NBA MVP has become synonymous with the questionable tag this season but has played through his ailments more often than not, so it is fair to […]

New Orleans Pelicans fans have been holding their breath as they wait for an update on Zion Williamson’s injury status. The All-Star forward was forced to exit Monday’s loss against the Philadelphia 76ers with a groin injury and was unable to return.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma couldn’t help but wonder why Skip Bayless remains unpunished until today despite all the insensitive remarks he has said over his broadcasting career. Kuzma asked the question after Bayless made headlines once again, this time for his disgusting remarks about Damar Hamlin’s injury. On Monday, the FOX Sports commentator really […]

After losing just once in their last 17 games, there’s no denying that the Brooklyn Nets are looking like a well-oiled machine at the moment. At this point, it’s almost easy to forget about all the drama this team had to go through earlier in the season (and beyond) surrounding the one and only Kyrie […]

Joel Embiid went on an absolute tear in December as he led the Philadelphia 76ers to a 9-4 record during the calendar month, which included a scorching eight-game win streak for the Sixers. It’s no surprise that the five-time All-Star has once again been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month — an honor […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to win games over the past two weeks. The team has lost five out of its last six and endured recent blowout losses to the Nets and Wizards. However, part of the reason for Milwaukee’s recent skid is the injury bug. Guard Jrue Holiday has sat out the last three […]

Despite the fact that reports came out a couple of weeks back about the Charlotte Hornets negotiating a new deal with embattled free agent Miles Bridges, there just hasn’t seemed to be any progress on the same.  As it turns out, there could be a very good reason why this has been the case. Apparently, […]

The Toronto Raptors haven’t been a very good team this season. They are currently 16-21 and are sitting at the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference. At the moment, Pascal Siakam and Co. are 4.5 games outside a guaranteed playoff spot, and things aren’t looking very good for this side right now. Siakam himself has […]

Klay Thompson turned back the clock on Monday night, erupting for 54 points and 10 triples when his woefully short-handed team needed him most.

The play of Orlando Magic center Bol Bol has been one of the best feel-good stories of the NBA season. After riding the bench in Denver behind Nikola Jokic for a few years and missing much of last season with an injury, the Magic have given Bol his first real NBA opportunity, and he’s made […]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ stellar season continues to be interrupted by injuries to their best players.

Through tons of ups and downs through the 2022 portion of the 2022-23 season, the Philadelphia 76ers are right about where most people expected them to be.

The Boston Celtics are doing their best to prove that their ridiculous turnaround last season that saw them go all the way to the 2022 NBA Finals wasn’t a fluke.

The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-23 season has not gone according to plan at all.

The load is obviously heavier now for LeBron James, with Los Angeles Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis out indefinitely with a stress injury in his right foot.

Entering the 2022-23 season, LeBron James has only missed the postseason four times in his career. Simply put, James’ teams are almost always expected to make the postseason.
