Over recent weeks, many have floated around the possibility of a potential reunion for James Harden and the Houston Rockets.

Nonetheless, the possibility gained even more legs after one of the most reputable […]

The Orlando Magic struck gold when they drafted Paolo Banchero with the first overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft. A scorer blessed with an incredibly soft touch, the 20-year-old, barring any unforeseen injury problems, is on track to be one of the best players in the NBA, given his combination of size, skill, and […]

The Chicago Bulls aren’t looking to trade Zach LaVine after he signed a five-year, $215 million deal with the team this offseason.

With James Harden set to become a free agent next summer, there have been rumblings in the past week that he’s interested in a possible Houston Rockets reunion if the Philadelphia 76ers don’t reward him with an attractive extension. While The Beard publically said he’s happy in the City of Brotherly Love, anything can happen […]

Memphis Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks has leaned into his identity as an instigator, someone who’s not afraid to get underneath the skin of his opponents. However, opponents, none more prominent than Klay Thompson in recent days, have learned to clap back, stifling Brooks and the Grizzlies’ scathing trash talk in the process. He even admitted […]

The Washington Wizards are the ultimate trade-bait team ahead of the 2023 NBA trade deadline. Every team is looking to see if they decide to tear it down. Kyle Kuzma is the main player everyone is looking at, as he is playing very well and is on a manageable contract. The Wizards could certainly get […]

Kawhi Leonard will forever be linked to the Toronto Raptors in a way nobody else who spent just one season with a franchise will ever be. The Los Angeles Clippers forward validated that after LA’s 124-113 win over the Canadian side on Tuesday. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue gave Leonard, who has not played in […]

The Washington Wizards are starting to find themselves in a little groove. They are winners of three of their last four games, they are starting to play better and inch closer to play-in tournament territory. Unfortunately, they may now be without Bradley Beal for a few games. Beal left the Wizards’ win over the Philadelphia 76ers […]

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have become arguably the league’s best duo today, and they showed as much when they eviscerated the Houston Rockets’ defense on Tuesday night. Brown led the way with 39 points, while Tatum almost matched him point for point with 38 to lead the Boston Celtics to a 128-102 victory. After […]

The number stats wouldn’t tell you that Jonathan Kuminga is better this season. The Golden State Warriors sophomore has seemingly taken a step back on the offensive side of the floor. But Kuminga himself feels he’s turning the corner in terms of what the Warriors need from him. After the Warriors’ win over the Charlotte […]

It hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies of late. The team’s detractors are keeping quiet about it, either.

Klay Thompson played a big part in the Golden State Warriors’ 110-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets at home Tuesday night, but whether he will be able to play on the second leg of a back-to-back remains up in the air. It is very much likely that he will not be able to get the […]

Jonathan Kuminga is coming into his own. The 20-year-old played perhaps the best game of his career on Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets, spearheading the short-handed Golden State Warriors’ 120-105 win by making winning plays on both sides of the ball from the opening tip. Not even Kuminga’s impressive numbers—14 points, six rebounds, two […]

The Sacramento Kings were going toe-to-toe against the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night until the wheels fell off under them late in the game, allowing Nikola Jokic and company to pull away and score a 113-106 road win.

The Golden State Warriors have found it difficult adjusting to a life without Stephen Curry, who remains sidelined with a shoulder injury. However, the Warriors may have stumbled upon a Christmas miracle after beating the Memphis Grizzlies convincingly. And now, the Warriors, led by an emergent Jordan Poole, looked to continue their winning ways on […]

LeBron James is doing all he can to will the Los Angeles Lakers to the postseason – but even he knows it’s going to be a daunting task. LeBron’s latest Twitter move may indicate some wavering confidence in the purple and gold being able to turn things around. During the first round of the 2022 […]

Here are three reactions from another significant win by the short-handed Dubs. Jonathan Kuminga doesn’t need numbers Dominant as the Warriors are when […]

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic went viral on Tuesday not only because of his insane 60-point triple-double but also because of his “happy dance” celebration after his game-tying shot to force overtime.

Julius Randle and the New York Knicks made the Dallas Mavericks’ lives a living hell for most of their Tuesday night game, particularly on the offensive glass, despite the absence of Jalen Brunson and premature exit of RJ Barrett from the game. It seemed like another Luka Doncic masterclass was bound to go to waste, […]

The NBA season is nearing its mid-point, leaving fans to look ahead to the 2023 NBA Draft. Much of the talk regarding the draft has surrounded Victor Wembanyama, and understandably so.

Luka Doncic is on another level. The Dallas Mavericks star just posted a stat line against the New York Knicks that left his NBA peers such as Trae Young, Kyle Kuzma, DeMar DeRozan, and the rest of the NBA in awe of his greatness. Doncic finished with a cartoonish stat line in the Mavs’ overtime […]

There are a lot of noteworthy things in the Dallas Mavericks’ epic OT win against the New York Knicks. There’s Luka Doncic’s insane one-of-a-kind triple-double, and there’s also that game-tying shot in the fourth quarter. However, Doncic’s celebration after forcing OT might just be the best. After Doncic drained the jumper that tied the game […]

Luka Doncic, simply put, is one of the most magical players in NBA history. His basketball wizardry was in full display once more as he put the Dallas Mavericks (and perhaps even the entire state of Texas) on his back with a gigantic 60-point, 21-rebound, and 10-assist performance to lead the Mavs to a 126-121 […]

It has been quite some time since the current NBA season started.

In 29 minutes, he shot 6-of-11 from the field and put up a team-high +18. Westbrook finds a cutting Troy Brown […]

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young was forced to exit Tuesday’s contest with the Indiana Pacers after suffering from a lower body injury.
