Latest news and updates about the Kings
Before tonight, the Knicks (48*-26) had won seven consecutive games. Admittedly, some of those foes were lightweight competition. The Hornets (39-34) had won four straight and compiled a 22-6 record since late January. Charlotte had the fourth-best offensive rating, New York had the third. We were salivating for a shootout at the Spectrum Center. Truth […]

The NBA is about to get a whole lot more interesting. After plenty of foreshadowing that this would be coming, Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Wednesday that the league’s owners had voted for the next step toward expansion in fielding bids and applicants. This would add two more teams to the Western Conference, and […]
Stephon Castle is having himself a season. He has followed up his Rookie of the Year with improvements to every aspect of this game. Averaging 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists sounds great, but for a player like Castle, it just doesn’t tell the whole story. Currently, he doesn’t shoot particularly well, averaging a […]
Taking care of business against the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings has given the Sixers a shot at new life. It may not be likely that they’re able to climb out of the Play-In tournament in the Eastern Conference, but it’s a lot more possible than it was a week ago. It’s good to have […]
Game 70: Montreal Canadiens vs. Carolina Hurricanes Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Hurricanes region: FanDuel Sports Network South Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ The Montreal Canadiens managed one shot in the first period when they played the Los Angeles Kings on the road on March 7.

Former #1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Markelle Fultz signed a 10-Day contract with the Toronto Raptors yesterday after spending time with their G-League affiliate this season. The last time Fultz played in the NBA was with the Sacramento Kings in the 2024-25 season where he averaged 2.9 points in 21 games. Although the […]
Jordi Fernández was a big fan of the Brooklyn Nets’ performance against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday evening, a hard-fought game that resulted in a 126-122 Kings victory. The head coach described it as “very positive,” and it was easy to see why. Ben Saraf turned in a career-best performance as did Malachi Smith, Ziaire […]
The Nets lost (or won) depending on how you look at it against the Kings. We’re in the final stretch and guys are going down. Egor Demin is done for the year, Michael Porter Jr. is out at least 2-3 weeks, and Danny Wolf left the game with an ankle sprain. We’ll see what these […]
Today is one of the biggest days of the season for the Brooklyn Nets for the lamest of reasons. As the regular season inches closer to its conclusion, all moves made in the “tank race” fall under increased magnification. With Brooklyn facing the Sacramento Kings, who sat just a half game behind Brooklyn entering tonight’s […]
While all eyes are likely on Darryn Peterson headlining against St. John’s, the Nets are quietly playing the most important game of the season strictly because of lottery odds. Sacramento won two in a row and suddenly they have a game on Brooklyn. Tonight can change all of that. We have a thread dedication to […]
Almost got it. The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks all they could handle, but ultimately fell short by one point, 93-92. The losing streak is up to six. The opponent tonight is praying for some lottery luck. The Sacramento Kings have had a rough season but hope things turn around in the NBA […]
The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers made things more interesting than they needed to be. They fell down by 15 early in the fourth quarter to a bad New Orleans Pelicans team before turning things around. Strong finishes from James Harden and Donovan Mitchell were enough to secure the 111-106 victory. As has been a recent trend, the […]
The funny thing about playoff hypotheticals is that they always feel logical… right up until reality barges in. That’s where the Timberwolves are right now. Seeds 3-6 of the Western Conference are basically a four-car pileup happening in slow motion. Minnesota is behind the wheel, glaring at dashboard warning lights through the smoke coming from […]
Herald Key reserve helps Celtics rally past zombie Grizzlies, avoid upset Globe Jaylen Brown has 30 points as Celtics rally to defeat Grizzlies 117-112 What is the best soundbite in Boston sports history? Robert Parish’s take on this Celtics group centers on teamwork and the return of a strong defensive identity Celtics survive surprising battle from banged-up Grizzlies, need fourth-quarter rally for victory Nikola Vucevic (broken finger) eager to again lend a hand to Celtics’ playof...
The Nets thought adding some silly-billy physicality would help them beat the Knicks. They were in for a rough one, seeing their losing skid against the New York team go up to 14 and counting. Ooooofff… Mike Brown On being outcoached by Jordi Fernández on Friday: “Jordi outcoached me. They outplayed us in a lot […]
The Spurs’ West Coast trips have afforded me anywhere from 3-4 opportunities most seasons to see them in both Sacramento and San Francisco. With my dad — while bravely fighting his battle against cancer — unable to attend the game as had originally planned, the outing became a chance for my sister to see her […]
The third and fifth picks in the 2025 NBA draft face off against each other as the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center on Saturday night. VJ Edgecombe is coming off a career high 38 point and 11 assist performance as the 76ers dismantled the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. […]
Coming off a blowout win against the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs returned home to face the Phoenix Suns for the final time this regular season. Stephon Castle was ruled out before the game with a hip injury, but Devin Vassell returned from ankle soreness. What followed was a highly contested game. After a back-and-forth first […]
Wow! This game contained some cringe-worthy stretches of play by the Spurs, but they did just enough to stay in striking distance before finally finding an extra gear in crunch time. To cap it all off, Victor Wembanyama ended the game with a strategy that I typically hate: dribble the ball in place on the […]
Don’t look now, but they’ve won three of their last four! The Sixers blew out the Sacramento Kings 139-118 Thursday night. They are 38-32, a big win given big losses by the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat earlier in the night. Reaching 30 points for the first time since his NBA debut, VJ Edgecombe cruised […]

Update: After initially being listed as doubtful for today’s game, Joel Embiid has now been downgraded to out. After doing a nice job picking up two straights wins, including a solid performance against the Blazers on Sunday, it’s hardly surprising the Hospital Sixers faltered against the Nuggets on Tuesday. They were dismantled 124-96, falling behind […]
