The rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may be falling apart. If it does, we should be glad. In February, the streaming giant Netflix announced that the two would fight again on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with Mayweather announcing around the same time that he was “resuming his boxing career” […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their road trip with a stop in New Jersey to face the Devils, looking to salvage something, anything , from a stretch that’s quickly gone off the rails. It’s been a while since the Blackhawks last saw the Devils — all the way back in mid-November — and the version of this team now feels pretty different from the one that was still hovering around the playoff picture at the time. The Devils spent the first couple of months flirting with relevance in the Easte...

If the Miami Heat fail to secure a victory on Sunday, it’s going to be another rock bottom moment less than 10 games away from the end of the regular season. They are facing an injury riddled 16-58, 15th seed Indiana Pacers squad. Without the likes of Tyrese Haliburton all season long after suffering an […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat travel to Indiana searching for a bounce back win against Pacers appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Portland Trail Blazers will look to bounce back from an ugly, costly Friday night loss to the Dallas Mavericks when another lottery-bound team visits the Moda Center Sunday afternoon. The Washington Wizards make their lone visit to Portland this season having lost 17 of their past 18 games, but don’t expect the Blazers to […]
The Sixers went all out on their recruitment pitch for Paul George. They even enlisted the help of one of the most legendary figures in franchise (and basketball) history, Julius Erving. So, why have Erving involved, aside from him being arguably the coolest person to ever exist? To sell George on what he could be […]
The Spurs have now won three straight games by 25+ points, with a cumulative point differential during that span of +82. Since the start of 2012-2013, there are just 65 other instances in which a team has achieved a three-game point differential that high or higher at any point in the regular season. Granted, San […]
Long Island has now lost seven straight after last night’s 113-93 defeat to the Cleveland Charge, a season-ending seven straight … and that’s a problem with G League playoffs days away. They are short-handed with none of the Flatbush Five, the Nets’ three two-ways, nor their one 10-day available. And now, the G League playoffs […]
The Lakers have been on a roll for the better part of a month with just about everything going their way. Luka Dončić looks like an MVP, LeBron James is embracing his role as a third fiddle and Austin Reaves has stepped up in recent fourth quarters. The only thing that isn’t working? In-bounds passing. […]

Sometimes it feels like you know how 80% of a Celtics game is going to go. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are going to do half of the heavy lifting. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will cover about another third. But it’s that other 15-20% that you’re going to get from your 5th, 6th, and […]
When the Celtics and Hornets face off on Sunday night, it will be a match-up between two of the Eastern Conference’s hottest teams. And, in many ways, the two franchises are interconnected — both due to their personell and emerging styles of play. Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Jay Williams drew the connection himself: “They’re […]

It’s the calm before the NFL Draft storm. The Seattle Seahawks are at the top of the mountain and the rest of the league is chasing what Seattle has, which is the Lombardi Trophy. You know, the trophy you receive when you win the Super Bowl? The Seahawks have that again after a 12-year wait. […]
Kieran Trippier’s future at Newcastle United is increasingly uncertain as he approaches the end of his current contract. The 35-year-old has featured regularly this season, but just because of Tino Livramento’s injury absence. With the veteran no longer considered part of Eddie Howe’s strongest starting XI when the squad is fully fit, it’s fair to […]
The Atlanta Hawks have done incredibly this season, being on the outside of the playoff picture in some ways, then going all the way to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, where they currently remain. The Hawks’ win streak was halted by the Houston Rockets recently on March 20th, but they followed that loss up […]
Back home. The Brooklyn Nets wrapped up their four game West Coast road trip with a late night affair against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nets gave the Lakers a good fight, but not good enough to come away with a win. The losing streak is at ten. The opponent tonight is counting the clock […]
Even after Thursday night’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks have remained one of the hottest teams in the league over the last couple of months.

Tonight, the New York Knicks (48*-26) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (58-16) at Paycom Center. This matchup tests whether New York can hang with the reigning champs or are just part-time sluggers.
