Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, his agent, Rich Paul, and Drake are among the high-profile names who have recently invested in the PGA Tour, according to the New York Times.

The Philadelphia 76ers picked off yet another win without Joel Embiid by defeating the Dallas Mavericks. They played a strong game until the final few minutes, where they were holding onto their lead for dear life. But they did hold on and win their second straight game.

On Sunday night, the Phoenix Suns had to deal with the herculean task of overcoming the Oklahoma City Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back despite missing the services of Devin Booker. The Thunder, especially, made life extremely difficult for Kevin Durant, as the Suns star faced plenty of double teams throughout the night. […]

The Phoenix Suns are heavily reliant on starting center Jusuf Nurkic to win basketball games. Without him, the Suns may not have a legit shot to win their first-ever championship. Nurkic in the Suns’ 118-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday night set a franchise record with 31 rebounds to pair with 14 points. […]

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama put up 31 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, blocked 6 shots and dished out six assists in Sunday’s 117-105 win vs. the Indiana Pacers.

On Sunday night, the Phoenix Suns faced the Oklahoma City Thunder in a tough contest made even more difficult by the fact that they were on the second night of a back-to-back. Making matters worse, they also entered that game without Devin Booker, who is nursing an ankle injury. Booker’s absence, in particular, meant that […]

Until this season comes to a close, every time the Cleveland Cavaliers face the New York Knicks, people will think back to last April. In a fairly one-sided series, the Cavs were the recipient of a gentleman’s sweep at the hands of the Knicks. Over the five-game stretch, Cleveland was outhustled, outmuscled, outworked, and forced […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder, despite slipping on a banana peel from time to time, have looked like a world-beating team this season, and they look poised to make some noise in the franchise’s inevitable return to the postseason later this year. Their performance on Sunday night in an impressive 118-110 win over the Phoenix Suns […]

Gilbert Arenas has never been shy to express his thoughts on matters concerning the current state of the NBA. Recently, however, the former All-Star might have just dropped the most ridiculous and divisive take he has ever made. While discussing the uptick of offense in the league and the lack of defense that is seemingly […]

The Indiana Pacers are now in the play-in race after an abysmal February run. Coach Rick Carlisle could not replicate the momentum of his heliocentric offense after the NBA All-Star break. Now, the Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin-led squad has a lot of catching up to do if they want to get homecourt advantage come […]

Victor Wembanyama continues to shine. Fresh off a big outing against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs big man led the team to a second-straight victory, this time at the expense of the Indiana Pacers.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart nearly became the Aqib Talib to the Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell’s Michal Crabtree late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between two Eastern Conference playoff contenders. After Hart drilled a crucial 3-pointer right in front of the Cavaliers bench, he turned around and had his attention captured […]

San Antonio Spurs super rookie Victor Wembanyama is already showing a veteran’s acumen when it comes to dealing with outside noise. After San Antonio’s 117-105 win on Sunday over the Indiana Pacers, Wembanyama revealed an airtight solution to distance himself from all the commotion that happens on social media (h/t Matthew Tynan of Corporate Knowledge). […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves played host to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. A weekend matinee game pinned two of the top Western Conference teams against each other. Prior to Sunday, the Wolves had previously dominated the Clippers this season. With a chance to move to 3-0 in the season series, a win would have been […]

The Boston Celtics showed no mercy on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, mopping the floor of TD Garden using the Dubs in a 140-88 demolition of the Western Conference franchise on Sunday. And they did it despite missing the services of big man Kristaps Porzingis, a fact that Boston legend Paul Pierce felt […]

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson left Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening minute with a knee contusion, and we are still waiting to see the full timeline for his return to action, but his teammate Donte DiVincenzo said he is not worried about Brunson. “I asked him if he was okay. […]

Victor Wembanyama never ceases to blow people’s minds with what he’s capable of doing on the basketball court. With his size alone, the San Antonio Spurs rookie is already a commanding presence whenever he’s on the floor. But his ability to combine his size with exceptional, athleticism, agility, and court awareness is making him a […]

Jaylen Brown splashed five three-pointers to finish with 29 points against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. The wingman led the Boston Celtics, who picked up a whopping 52-point win over the Dubs to bloom their winning streak to 11 games. Brown’s outburst started immediately, as the 27-year-old finished the first quarter alone with 19 […]

The San Antonio Spurs may not be a very good team record-wise this season, but Victor Wembanyama has been dazzling fans and fellow players alike with his play. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Wembanyama has actually been exceeding expectations from when he was drafted. There’s no question that the Spurs […]

The New York Knicks picked up a big road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers by the score of 107-98, and they did it after losing All-Star guard Jalen Brunson in the first minute of the game. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau raved about the contributions he got form those who stepped up with Brunson leaving […]

One of the New York Knicks’ worst nightmares happened on the court during Sunday’s meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, with star guard Jalen Brunson suffering an apparent lower-body injury that forced him to exit the contest early. However, New York got a great sign after the game when head coach Tom Thibodeau revealed that what […]

The New York Knicks pulled off one of their most impressive wins of the season on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They came into the game without Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson due to injury, and lost Jalen Brunson less than a minute into the game. The Knicks still rolled to a 107-98 […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a tough 89-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Sunday, and Anthony Edwards opting to go for a layup down three late in the game made some fans scratch their heads, and he discussed the play after the game, giving an explanation for why the possession played out […]

The Boston Celtics steamrolled the Golden State Warriors on Sunday to the tune of 140-88. Coming into the game, it appeared as if a major part of the Warriors strategy was to leave Celtics star Jaylen Brown open. That strategy backfired in a big ways as Brown knocked down his shots on the way to […]

It’s understandable that the New York Knicks want to climb the Eastern Conference. They currently just have the fourth seed in the standings and can surely go up higher. But, fans are starting to notice a pattern after their win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Julius Randle and OG Anunoby are both out with Jalen Brunson […]

The New York Knicks need Isaiah Hartenstein back and completely healthy, that much is clear. Hartenstein has done an impressive job of filling in for Mitchell Robinson as the Knicks’ starting center since Robinson underwent ankle surgery in December. But the seven-footer injured his Achilles tendon at some point in February. If he doesn’t get […]

At the moment of this writing, the Golden State Warriors probably want nothing more than to leave the city of Boston. The team just suffered a 52-point loss to the Boston Celtics, marking their fourth-worst loss in franchise history. This was due largely in part to how their game plan backfired immediately in the first […]

The Golden State Warriors won their last championship in 2022 after dispatching the Boston Celtics in six games.

Tyrese Haliburton’s production significantly dropped after his injury return. Since All-Star Weekend, the Indiana Pacers have been doing their best to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference standings. While they do have a six-game advantage over the Chicago Bulls, Coach Rick Carlisle still has to make adjustments to get out of the play-in race. One […]

The New York Knicks came into Sunday ready for a huge Eastern Conference matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs hold the No. 2 seed in the East and even though the Knicks have injury issues, it’s still a good test for them. The Knicks got yet another injury scare though against the Cavs, this […]

Inactive on the court since the start of 2024, Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason is now out for the season with a left leg injury.

The Golden State Warriors ended their week with a loud thud, as they got demolished by Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in Beantown on Sunday. Brown was a force on the floor all game long, and his dominance can be attributed to a Golden State plan that blew up on the Warriors’ faces. After […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has never really been known as a shooter throughout his basketball career. In college, he shot just 29.4% from deep and although he’s gotten close, he’s never shot better than 40% from 3-point land in the NBA. However, by no means should a team leave him wide open from beyond […]

The New York Knicks are taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a heated Eastern Conference battle. However, things turned south early in the contest after Jalen Brunson fell to an apparent leg injury. Brunson was helped off the court after falling awkwardly nearly immediately after tip-off. The injury is worrisome, as the star point guard […]

The Dallas Mavericks suffered a disappointing 120-116 loss at home to the Philadelphia 76ers, who are still dealing with the absence of Joel Embiid. Derrick Jones Jr. got brutally honest on the lack of energy that led to the Mavericks being upset at home against the 76ers. “Play harder. It’s a 48-minute game, not a […]

Looking at the Boston Celtics on Sunday, one can surmise that the team is poised for another deep postseason campaign.

Jaylen Brown led the Celtics, sinking five three-pointers en route to a 29-point outing. […]

The Boston Celtics have consistently been the best team in the NBA this season. The Celtics impressive play hit a new high on Sunday when they demolished the Golden State Warriors, 140-88. The Celtics held a 44-point lead at halftime and just continued to cruise in the second half. It was a great birthday present […]

Being at the other end of a historic record is not something that any team in league history would desire. The Golden State Warriors just became one of these squads. They gave the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics their third win with more than a 50-point deficit which no other team has ever done. Stephen Curry […]

Once a Celtic, always a Celtic. That phrase can be made about a lot of players who have worn a Boston uniform, but perhaps nobody exemplifies it more than Kevin Garnett. He was thrilled when he was traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Celtics in 2007, and he helped the Celtics win their 18th […]
