The Atlanta Hawks have become relevant in NBA circles over the last couple of seasons, primarily because of Trae Young. The 24-year-old superstar point guard exploded onto the scene as a rookie. In the few years since, his usage and stats have continued to trend upward until this season. He even helped carry the Hawks […]

The NBA trade deadline is still rather far away, but that hasn’t stopped trade rumors from flying around like crazy. One team that finds themselves at the center of these trade rumors is the Chicago Bulls, and for good reason. Despite being led by the trio of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic, the […]

The Utah Jazz are one of the most notable overachieving teams of the 2022-23 NBA campaign. Many thought the team would be tanking for generational prospect Victor Wembanyama this season. Instead, the Jazz are winning games. At 18-16, the squad owns the eighth-best record in the Western Conference. One of the reasons for Utah’s surprising […]

The Chicago Bulls have won two in a row but overall, it’s been a poor start to the 2022-23 campaign. They currently sit at 13-18 and the star duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine are struggling to find chemistry on the court. That’s already led to speculation of the Bulls possibly blowing it up […]

Former NBA champion Matt Barnes was not happy with Wally Szczerbiak calling Tyrese Haliburton a ‘Wannabe All-Star’ earlier this week. Not happy at all. Barnes went in on the MSG broadcaster is a NSFW rant that was filled with colorful language, basically questioning the need for a comment like that at all. "We have to […]

The last few weeks have been rough for the Washington Wizards. The team has gone 1-9 over its last ten games to fall to 12-20, the fourth-worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards have seemingly gone from a team that many thought would contend for a top-eight playoff spot to a bottom-feeder in a […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has had his fair share of difficulties in dealing with contentious decisions made by officials. After all, the referee’s whistle plays a huge part in determining the rhythm of the game. And it seems as if, more often than not, Durant has borne the brunt of the officials’ ire. In […]

Fans love watching the NBA for several reasons. While some watch it for the highlights and basketball moves, others also enjoy watching the drama that comes with it. On top of boasting the best basketball players in the world, the NBA is no stranger to putting in storylines similar to a battle between good versus […]

The Sacramento Kings handily defeated the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday by a final score of 134-120.

So after the game, James […]

LOS ANGELES, CA – When the name ‘Nicolas Batum‘ pops up in NBA circles, there’s an influx of admiration and praise for him.

For weeks, the Toronto Raptors were in a state of confusion, unable to remedy what ailed them as they scuffled to a six-game losing streak. Fred VanVleet tried his best with a few 39-point explosions, but nothing seemed to be enough. But finally, it was Pascal Siakam who took matters into his own hands. On […]

The Golden State Warriors are feeling anything but jolly during the holiday season. They are in the midst of a painfully unsuccessful road trip and are just 15-18 on the season. Back-to-back blowout losses in New York have put them at a new low in an already miserable season. After losing by 38 to the […]

The Sacramento Kings are turning out to be one of the fun teams to follow this season. They have plenty of young talents and most of all, they’re winning. One of the youngsters making an impact on the team is rookie Keegan Murray, who played a vital role in Sacramento’s 134-120 home win over LeBron […]

The Sacramento Kings have started off the season well, as they sit in 6th place in the Western Conference at 16-13. Sacramento had a productive offseason, bringing in Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk, and Keegan Murray. They have put these pieces around their star duo with De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Fox is having a great […]

Domantas Sabonis has been dominant for the the Sacramento Kings in recent weeks, and his incredible play has allowed him to make history not seen in 52 years. While several players today like LeBron James, Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic (to name a few) could easily record triple-doubles and put up crazy numbers, what Sabonis […]

When it comes to the 2019 NBA Draft Class, no one would pay much attention to Bol Bol’s stock in the card market over that of Ja Morant or Zion Williamson. After impressing in a single pre-season and fizzling out after, most in the hobby learned the hard way regarding the 7’2″ forward/center. But in […]

Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox fired back at the official who ejected him in their game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Fox was ejected late in the fourth quarter after he complained about a no-call on what was a clear foul from Patrick Beverley. It’s understandable that he would be frustrated with such […]

All good things come to an end. With every fleeting high comes an inevitably crushing low, and the New York Knicks learned that the hard way on Wednesday night. Despite Julius Randle’s best efforts, the Knicks saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end after losing to the Toronto Raptors, 113-106, due to an […]

There may be no better time to bring joy towards others’ lives than in December. The holiday spirit is in full effect, and it’s always great to be blessed with gifts that could serve as validation over what had been a year of hardships and tribulations. Thus, it’s no surprise when New Orleans Pelicans guard […]

Fans can debate all day long about the merits of LeBron James’ career, and whether his body of work makes him worthy of the GOAT title. However, one thing cannot be questioned. James uses social media to his advantage at an unparalleled level – from his Taco Tuesday antics, to his emoji-riddled tweets, and to […]

It looks like Jason Kidd has heard what many Dallas Mavericks fans have been urging him to do to help Luka Doncic ever since the beginning of the season: start Christian Wood. Wood has been largely used by Kidd off the bench, though he opted to start him during their back-to-back losses against the Cleveland Cavaliers […]

Luka Doncic is really doing it all for the Dallas Mavericks, and as he recorded a near triple-double on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he made history as well. The Slovenian star led the Mavs in scoring, rebounding and playmaking in the 104-99 win, finishing with 25 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. It is […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets may be one of the most talented teams in the NBA right now, but they won’t be playing on Christmas day. Durant has no qualms about that or whatsoever, though, admitting that he might be the one to blame for their exclusion. To recall, there were plenty of uncertainty […]

PHILADELPHIA — James Harden’s foot injury is firmly a thing of the past now. The Philadelphia 76ers have now won six games in a row following Harden’s clunky return to the court. The Sixers torched the Detroit Pistons by a score of 113-93, showing once again how good they can be when Harden and Joel […]

Ayo Dosunmu played the hero for the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night, as he delivered the game-winning basket in their 110-108 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. It was a nice rebound for Dosunmu, especially after playing just very limited minutes in Tuesday night’s 113-103 win over the Miami Heat in South Beach. After the Hawks game, […]

One of the greatest letdowns of the season has been the Chicago Bulls. They are presently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 13-18 record. That’s just one win better than the Orlando Magic. Remember that Nikola Vucevic was acquired by Chicago from Orlando before the 2021 deadline. He came in with high hopes, […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks got their revenge on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Mavs fans may have an enemy supporter to thank for that. The Mavs were no match to the Timberwolves during the Monday showdown, and it certainly didn’t help that Doncic was ejected late in the third quarter of the game. As […]

Amid the lengthy absence of Lonzo Ball, the Chicago Bulls have turned to Ayo Dosunmu as the team’s starting point guard. And for most of last season, it worked. The Bulls won 46 games and made the playoffs before unceremoniously exiting after six games. However, with the Bulls in turmoil, particularly on the Zach LaVine […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers are on a roll. Winners of their last six games, the Sixers are looking strong on both sides of the floor. Their strides on offense look particularly promising as Joel Embiid starts to show more of his playmaking abilities. In a dominant, nearly-wire-to-wire victory over the Detroit Pistons, Embiid tallied […]

For the month of December, the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks have treated their fans to some gorgeous, exciting basketball. Despite the Knicks’ loss to the Toronto Raptors due to a Pascal Siakam explosion, the Nets and Knicks have combined for a blistering 16-3 record in the final month of the year, bringing holiday […]

Patrick Baldwin Jr. ranks extremely low on the Golden State Warriors’ list of top defensive matchups for Kevin Durant. Andrew Wiggins would’ve been assigned that near-impossible assignment on Wednesday night had he been available. Klay Thompson definitely would’ve gotten a few possessions checking Durant if the Warriors weren’t playing on a back-to-back, too. Jonathan Kuminga has […]

Toronto Raptors star Pascal Siakam joined an elite club of NBA stars after exploding for 52 points in their win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. New York has always been considered the mecca of basketball, thanks to its passionate fanbase. With that said, it’s always hard for opposing teams to score […]

The Toronto Raptors have been mired in a bit of a slump as of late. They entered their Wednesday night clash against the New York Knicks as owners of the league’s current longest losing streak. In contrast, the Knicks had won eight in a row to that point. But Pascal Siakam doesn’t care about what’s […]

There’s no denying that Anthony Edwards has now established himself as one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the NBA today. However, what some folks might tend to overlook is the Minnesota Timberwolves star puts in on the defensive end. In case you’re one of those who have yet to witness Edwards’ defensive prowess, […]

Honing in on his numbers alone against the Brooklyn Nets makes it seem like James Wiseman made a convincing case for a permanent rotation spot with the Golden State Warriors. He poured in a career-high 30 points on Wednesday night, shooting 12-of-14 from the field and draining his only 3-point attempt. Wiseman’s blend of size, […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ last two starts could be summed up using two words: uninspired and unfocused. Brooklyn fell behind by 18 and 19 points early in wins over the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons. The team emphasized the importance of opening with greater urgency heading into Wednesday’s matchup with the Golden State Warriors. “(There) definitely […]
