It wasn’t pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to execute well enough late to defeat an undermanned Golden State Warriors team 118-111 to cap off their three-game road trip. This was a messy game for both sides. The Warriors were playing without several star players, including Steph Curry, and were also on the second […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are in the thick of a tight race for standing in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament this week. You wouldn’t have known it from their outing against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night. Portland came out flatter than a yeast-free pancake, giving up 65 points in the first half and […]
On a night where everything that could go wrong did for the Lakers, the biggest blow did not come on the scoreboard. In the third quarter of Thursday’s demoralizing loss to the Thunder, Luka Dončić came to a stop for a jumper and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg. He lost the ball […]
The return of Jayson Tatum was much anticipated. We are just about a month into it and it could not have possibly gone any better than it has. Tatum went through a short shooting slump, but he is starting to find his shot and is a positive in every other aspect of the game. In […]
The Lakers were bludgeoned from the opening tip of Thursday’s showdown with the Thunder, falling behind by double digits minutes into the game and trailing by as many as 45 en route to a 139-96 loss. Turnovers plagued the Lakers from the jump, allowing OKC to jump ahead early. The Thunder shooting an incredible 53.9% […]
One of the crazier rule changes the NBA has made in recent years was the 65-game minimum for players to qualify for awards. It’s led to some truly wonky results like a whole host of the league’s top defenders being ineligible for Defensive Player of the Year and plenty of deserving players missing out on […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are facing the New Orleans Pelicans at the Moda Center tonight. If the Blazers don’t win this one, their hard-fought victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday won’t matter anymore. It’s win or give up on the 8th seed in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Winning seems like a decent […]
Collin Gilllespie spent years knocking down three’s within Villanova’s offense and that has translated into the NBA. On Thursday night, Gillespie knocked down two three-pointers to get to 227 on the year for the Phoenix Suns. This set a new franchise record for three’s made in a single-season, passing the previous mark of 226 set […]
One of the few things that hasn’t gone right for the Lakers during their recent winning run has been Marcus Smart’s injury. After establishing himself as a valuable role player and starter this season, Smart has missed six straight games due to injury. In the team’s stop in Orlando, Smart injured his ankle after Goga […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the Dallas Mavericks in Anthony Edwards’ return and behind Ayo Dosunmu’s impressive triple-double. The welcome-back party for Edwards has been short-lived, as he was ruled out for knee injury management and an illness for this Thursday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons. With this missed game, Ant will not be eligible […]

The Portland Trail Blazers take on the New Orleans Pelicans at the Moda Center tonight. It’d be easy to dismiss a game against a team that’s won just 25 of 76 games as trivial. Reality check: if the Blazers don’t win this one, their hard-fought, rallying cry victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday […]
Head down to the comments to discuss Thursday’s game against the Oilers! Game Preview
Tilman Fertitta has undergone a bit of a transformation in terms of his favorability in the public eye. For the first several years of Fertitta’s ownership of the Houston Rockets, he was quite heavily disliked by the Rockets’ fanbase. Understandably, as he struggled with knowing when/how to insert himself at the onset of his ownership […]
The Utah Jazz are signing Bez Mbeng to a two-year contract, according to Shams Charania via Mbeng’s agent. This comes after hearing from Sarah Todd that Mbeng would be signed through the end of the season. This is great news for Mbeng, who brings defensive intensity to the Jazz on the perimeter. It’s a sign […]
Look, as far as couch-bound talent evaluators go, I haven’t been the most pro-Peterson scout during his freshman season at Kansas. The off-court issues left many — including myself — questioning his motives, drive to compete, and overall health as he withdrew from games on his own accord and constantly battled nagging injuries from the […]
The Celtics will once again be without Nikola Vucevic when they face the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Vucevic is continuing to recover from a fractured right ring finger suffered almost four weeks ago (on March 6th), but seems to be progressing in the right direction. “He’s getting better, as you saw in the workout […]
The Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama has been named Western Conference Defensive Player of the month for the third straight time, the league announced. Wembanyama averaged 9.7 defensive rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 3.7 blocks per game during March in just 29.9 minutes a night. The Spurs held opponents to an outrageous low 102.9 points per 100 possessions […]
“Doubtful” leaves so much room for vague tweets. The Sixers have released their injury report for when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday, and doubtful is Joel Embiid’s listing with an illness. After playing three games straight returning from an oblique strain, Embiid told reporters that an illness had impacted his play against the Miami […]
The Knicks are in a bit of a rough patch as time winds down on the regular season. They just lost a handful of extremely unsettling games against playoff teams that have many questioning their effort and desire, have fans up in arms about the coach and believing he’s on the hot seat, and there’s […]
The Big 12 has gone out of its way to try to account for weather in its scheduling. Most of the first half of the conference season has been played on the home fields of warm-weather programs like Arizona, Texas Tech, and Arizona State. Cold weather programs like Iowa State, Kansas, and Utah were set […]
