Chet Holmgren separated himself from Victor Wembanyama and the rest of the Rookie of the Year candidates with his performance for the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

The New Orleans Pelicans fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-120 on Saturday night, but they almost pulled off a miracle.

After two strong wins in a row, the Cleveland Cavaliers have to feel better about themselves after an uneven start to the season.

Stephen Curry hilariously trolled Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren when he broke out the “too small” celebration from the sidelines during the second quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ home game Saturday night. After Dario Saric buried a bucket in the face of Holmgren near the basket in the second quarter of the contest, […]

The Charlotte Hornets dropped their fourth straight game after losing to the New York Knicks 122-108. They shot better from the field and from 3-point range on the second end of a back-to-back, but they just couldn’t come up with stops to get this game close. On a brighter note, however, the Hornets’ second overall […]

The New York Knicks won a playoff series last season and are hoping to build on the momentum with another climb up the league standings in 2023-2024.

The Pelicans are setting themselves […]

There are great athletes, and then there are transcendent ones who you know regardless of your interests and occupation. You might call them icons.

The Milwaukee Bucks took on the Dallas Mavericks at home on Saturday night, and ‘The Greek Freak’ Giannis Antetokounmpo took it upon himself to make sure the visitors don’t forget he’s one of the NBA’s burgeoning all-time greats.

He called the […]

The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday in the tail-end of a back-to-back after beating the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo actually had a rather quiet game, finishing with just 16 points in 28 minutes of action. The Greek Freak missed Wednesday’s contest due to a calf injury but that problem […]

The Denver Nuggets lost their third game of the 2023-24 season against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nikola Jokic finished the game with a legendary stat line.

The Golden State Warriors will be without Draymond Green for Saturday’s rematch with the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center. Fortunately for Steve Kerr’s reeling squad, though, there’s a chance the Dubs won’t be as shorthanded against Oklahoma City as they were during Thursday’s blowout loss. Is Stephen Curry playing on Saturday versus the Thunder? […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges is off to a superb start for the 2023-34 NBA season. His newfound role as the Nets’ two-way star has Brooklyn staying afloat in the competitive Eastern Conference.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe became the youngest player in team history to reach 1,000 points in Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kendrick Perkins carved out a lengthy NBA career despite entering the NBA straight out of high school. The 6-foot-10 center even managed to win an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008. As of late, Perkins continues to make an impact to the game as an analyst for ESPN. Given Perkins’ impact in the […]

It’s fair to say the Los Angeles Lakers have slightly underwhelmed to start the 2023-24 NBA regular season. Injury report appearances from LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and multiple rotation players have posed a legitimate obstacle to finding a rhythm. Effort levels have been occasionally substandard. The Lakers have one victory over a team (Orlando Magic) […]

To start the Boston Celtics’ 2023-24 season, nobody was talking about forward Sam Hauser. It’s not hard to understand why given Boston’s exceptionally busy offseason. The C’s traded major players like Marcus Smart, acquired All-Stars in Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and gave Jaylen Brown the richest contract in NBA history. When it came to […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are performing well so far in 2023-24. Dallas is set for a big game on Saturday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Luka and the Mavs can make a pivotal statement by defeating Milwaukee in the contest after struggling versus the Bucks last year. Doncic has been in the MVP […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are starting to pick things up in the middle of November. The Bucks got their third straight win over the Charlotte Hornets in an In-Season Tournament matchup. Of course, Damian Lillard showed up in signature fashion. He had a solid scoring night in addition to landing his first dunk with the team. […]

With their 107-96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers improved to 3-0 in the NBA In-Season Tournament, having previously defeated the Phoenix Suns (Nov. 10) and Memphis Grizzlies (Nov. 14).

During his playing days, Brian Shaw was one of the Los Angeles Lakers favorites that went on to win a three-peat from 2000 to 2002. Nowadays, Shaw has long been retired from playing basketball. However, he remains to make an impact to the game by serving as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers. […]

The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday in what should be an enticing matchup. However, it sounds like Milwaukee will be without their star small forward, Khris Middleton. As it turns out, Middleton has officially been ruled out and will not play in Saturday night’s contest, according to the NBA’s injury […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have seemingly turned a corner since enduring a five-game losing streak earlier in the month. An impressive 115-10 home victory against the Denver Nuggets on Friday marked their fourth win in five contests. Unsurprisingly, Zion Williamson was a major part of that success (26 points, 10-of-17). Also unsurprisingly, he will not […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ losing streak is over after picking up a huge win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Tobias Harris scored […]

Though his acclimation in the season’s hasn’t been quite as seamless as anticipated, Damian Lillard is fully entrenched as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Remember the role the Brooklyn Nets played in his dramatic offseason trade request, though? Mikal Bridges, it appears, would’ve been just as thrilled to play with Lillard as the former […]

The Portland Trail Blazers don’t take on the San Antonio Spurs until late December. But that’s not stopping Shaedon Sharpe from talking about dunking on rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama. But while discussing that potential dunk, the Blazers guard hilariously finds out that Wembanyama is quite a bit taller than he originally thought, per Brenna Greene […]

The Miami Heat are 8-4 so far during the 2023-24 season. Although Miami is playing well, one major roster question revolves around Nikola Jovic.
