The Dallas Mavericks, despite all the doubt surrounding them entering the 2023-24 season, have been off to a terrific start, winning six of their first seven games.

A struggling Karl Anthony-Towns would often mean an easy win for any team that goes against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was not the case for the undefeated Boston Celtics led by Jayson Tatum.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered Monday’s contest vs. the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center with a depleted rotation — especially in the frontcourt.

[…]

Andre Drummond may have fallen out favor in league circles over the past few years, but there’s no denying that the 30-year old big man has been one of the best rebounders over the past decade or so. And on Monday night, with the Chicago Bulls taking on the Utah Jazz, Drummond reached a new […]

Another game, another huge night for Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid, who exploded for nearly 50 points in Monday’s 146-128 Sixers win at home over the visiting Washington Wizards.
