The Los Angeles Lakers were NBA champions in 2020 after being the last team standing in the Orlando bubble, and Kyle Kuzma played a key role on that team. He came off the bench as the Lakers sixth man averaging 10.0 points per game and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 43 percent from the field. And […]

Another day, another technical foul for Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors star wasn’t at all happy with this one, though, after Green was whistled for a technical foul for excessively celebrating while on the bench. After the game, the Warriors vet shared his true thoughts on the call as he tried his best not […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have gone two games above .500 for the first time this season after obliterating the Orlando Magic on their home floor.

The Boston Celtics were without superstar swingman Jayson Tatum on Sunday night as they took on the Washington Wizards. This did not turn out to be much of an issue for them, though, with Jaylen Brown stepping up to the plate without his backcourt running mate. Brown exploded for a season-high 36 points on 13-of-23 […]

Ja Morant has more than his share of highlight reel plays in his early career and on Sunday he added one more. In the Memphis Grizzlies game against the New York Knicks, Morant drove baseline, was met at the rim by two defenders, hung in the air as he sailed between both of them and […]

On Sunday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves proved no match to the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry and Co. came firing out the gates and never looked back after torching the Wolves in the opening period. The Dubs cruised to a dominant 137-114 win over a hapless Minnesota side. For his part, Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert […]

Michael Porter Jr. has missed the last two games for the Denver Nuggets and it appears as if he will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. He has officially been ruled out for the Nuggets game on Monday against the Houston Rockets and is dealing with a very painful heel contusion as per Harrison Wind […]

It’s no secret what’s driven the Golden State Warriors’ recent turnaround. That dynamic was on full display from the opening tip of Sunday’s 137-124 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, a wire-to-wire road victory that counts as their most encouraging performance of 2022-23. How’d they do it? By avoiding the self-inflicted mistakes that marred the first […]

The Brooklyn Nets ended their recent three-game road trip with a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers, 128-117. This resulted in Kevin Durant and Co. losing two out of their last three contests as they continue to struggle to reach the .500 mark. Nets head coach Jacque Vaugh could not help out but point out […]

With the Toronto Raptors dealing with a slew of injuries at the moment, certain players have been required to step up to the plate. One of them is OG Anunoby and the 25-year-old has responded in a major way. Anunoby had another noteworthy performance on Saturday night as he helped the Raptors to a 105-100 […]

The Toronto Raptors star posted a video on Twitter Sunday morning of his recent rehabilitation from a strain in his right adductor muscle, hinting that he’ll be back in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The New York Knicks haven’t had a great start to the start of their 2022-23 season, and calls for them to make some moves are beginning to increase. The good news is that the Knicks have a lot of spare pieces who could help out other teams, while also allowing them to address the real […]

The Los Angeles Lakers started 2022-23 on a sour note. LeBron James was injured in the 11th game of the season, and they were one of the worst teams at one juncture due to a 2-10 record. Newly hired head coach Darvin Ham had a plethora of problems from the onset despite the elite star […]

The Golden State Warriors’ defense of their 2022 championship win hasn’t exactly gone as expected so far. While they appear to be turning the corner, the Warriors are just 10-10 through 20 games of action, which is good for the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Golden State is figuring things out, but they still […]

The Boston Celtics have raced out to a flaming hot start in the 2022-23 season. Fresh off a disappointing loss in the 2022 NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors, the C’s have quickly proven that their sudden second half turnaround last year was no fluke, and that they mean business when it comes to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are finally starting to show some promise. They have won five of their last six games, including a tight win over the San Antonio Spurs. LeBron James delivered a masterpiece with a season-high 39 points on 11-21 shooting. James came through with a massive performance against the Spurs, 14 of which […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis was virtually unstoppable for the last two weeks. So much so that the only thing that halted his hot streak was – you guessed it – injury. AD was forced to sit out the LA’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night due to a left calf […]

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren plans to make his season debut on Dec. 2 against the Toronto Raptors, according to Shams Charania. Warren signed with Brooklyn on a minimum contract this summer. The 29-year-old played just four games over the last two seasons while undergoing several surgeries to repair a navicular stress fracture in his left […]

One of the biggest criticisms of Luka Doncic’s game is his isolation-heavy playstyle. Much like LeBron James’ teams before, the Dallas Mavericks run their offense mostly through the star. That often leads to Doncic hoisting up step-back threes or finding his open teammates off of pick-and-roll actions. For some, though, this style of play is […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has been the subject of trade rumors for years now. That noise has never been stronger with LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers reportedly hot on his trail. Amidst what’s been a career-best season for Myles Turner thus far, the value of his services is at an all-time high. While he’s […]

Christian Wood was the biggest acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in the off-season. The former Rockets center was supposed to be the second-in-command to Luka Doncic. 20 games into the season, though, and it seems as if Jason Kidd is more interested in seeing Wood ride the pine instead of playing when it matters. That […]

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine voiced his frustrations after being benched by head coach Billy Donovan late in the fourth quarter during a recent loss to the Orlando Magic. While LaVine apparently patched things up with Donovan, the Bulls’ 8-11 record and LaVine’s own struggles have some wondering if the team will look to go […]

The Charlotte Hornets are among the most overlooked teams in the NBA this season, but they have actually been on a bit of an upturn of late. They are fresh off back-to-back wins against the Sixers and the Timberwolves. As such, they now sit in 4th place in the Southeast Division and 13th place overall […]

LeBron James and Russell Westbrook’s relationship has been a source of speculation since midway through last season — particularly during NBA Summer League. On Saturday, however, during the Los Angeles Lakers’ fourth win in five games — a defenseless 143-138 victory over the San Antonio Spurs (L.A.’s third win this week over S.A.) — the […]

The Phoenix Suns went through a whirlwind of controversy this past offseason which led to the eventual exit of longtime owner Robert Sarver. While the team is trying to turn the page toward the next chapter of their franchise’s history, former NBA veteran Lamar Odom claims there’s still an unwelcome leftover from the previous regime: […]

The New York Knicks have lost three out of their last four games, and there’s no denying that RJ Barrett’s production — or the lack thereof — has been a key factor behind this team’s recent slump. Barrett had a brutal stretch last week where he averaged just 12.6 points in five games played. During […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had his best game of the 2022-23 season so far with his 39-point explosion against the San Antonio Spurs. More than his high-level production, though, what stood out from the game was his big-shooting night. Prior to Saturday’s game, James had only shot 24.0 percent from deep in the […]

LeBron James turned back the clock on Saturday night with a vintage performance for the Los Angeles Lakers against the San Antonio Spurs. One play summed up his incredible display of athleticism, though, and that’s when he rose in the second quarter for a monster alley-oop slam. Naturally the whole NBA Twitter was left in […]

In case you missed it, LeBron James WENT OFF on Saturday night in a masterful performance against the San Antonio Spurs. The four-time NBA champ led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 143-138 victory with a season-high 39-point explosion that sent shockwaves around the league. If you’re on social media then you likely wouldn’t have […]

LeBron James recently returned to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup after dealing with an adductor strain and on Saturday he just added to his list of accomplishments. His statline of 39 points, 11 rebounds and seven made three-pointers made him the oldest player in NBA history to put up a game of at least 35 […]

Last week, the Chicago Bulls suffered a tough loss to the Orlando Magic, 108-107. It was an opportunity for Nikola Vucevic to face off against his former team, which unsurprisingly, drew out all sorts of narratives pertaining to his previous spell with Orlando. The critics went hard on Vucevic and the Bulls after the loss, […]

Draymond Green isn’t exactly the best role model out there. The Golden State Warriors veteran is a great player and all, but he’s not exactly the type who you’d want your kids to idolize. This is especially once you take into consideration how he knocked out his own teammate in practice with a sucker punch […]

Stephen Curry is so good that he’s seemingly got the power to momentarily make opposing head coaches forget that they’re supposed to switch their fan mode off before a game against the Golden State Warriors. At least that was the case Friday night when the Utah Jazz, coached by Will Hardy, played the Warriors in […]

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green is turning into one of the most electrifying players right before our eyes. If you need proof, then look no further than his performance on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Saying that Green put on a show would be an understatement, as he hogged the spotlight and entertained the […]

The Atlanta Hawks and the Houston Rockets featured in an intense matchup on Friday night that seems to have produced a whole new rivalry.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook looked as though he just came home from a brutal street fight after getting elbowed in the head by San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins Saturday night. Russell Westbrook takes a shot from Zach Collins and is bleeding from his forehead 😳pic.twitter.com/SXDNXnvSlL — ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) November 27, […]

The Orlando Magic are still a new franchise, relatively speaking, having only been around since 1989. But they’ve still had some great players don the Magic jersey including Dennis Scott. On Saturday, the team announced they would induct Scott into the franchise’s Hall of Fame as per Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s Andscape. Magic say […]
