It’s not a good sign that the Los Angeles Lakers have been asked about their reactions to displeased fans at Crypto.com Arena more than wins on their home court. Then again, the former has become the more common occurrence, as of late. Unlike in recent losses to the New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and New […]

It’s pretty hard to root for the Los Angeles Lakers this season.

And while there are […]

When looking at the Boston Celtics, the most obvious play for hobbyists to consider is to go for Jayson Tatum’s stock.

Tobias Harris’ role with the Philadelphia 76ers changed when James Harden joined the team, from being the second option on the offense to being relegated to third or even fourth.

After nine and a half seasons playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, CJ McCollum is finally wearing new threads and causing mayhem for the New Orleans Pelicans.

To say that the implications of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s all-out war against Ukraine are immense would be an understatement.

He’s a winner. He’s smart. He’s […]

The Chicago Bulls have been excellent all season, but they just can’t seem to compete with other contending teams.

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers have had a shockingly poor campaign. They have been riddled with injuries, which has led to chemistry and continuity problems.

The Milwaukee Bucks haven’t been playing their best basketball since winning the NBA championship a season ago, but that shouldn’t be a cause for panic given that they’ve dealt with many injuries this season and Brook Lopez has yet to play in a game other than the first of the season.
