Russell Westbrook goes past Terance Mann to get to the rim, but will he do the same in the Clippers’ rotation? | Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images
Fans on both sides are deciding they already know how this one will go, so what should we expect from Russell Westbrook with the Clippers? A clip of Anthony Edwards describing the one thing he’d change about the NBA went viral this All-Star weekend.

The Clippers take yet another shot at addressing their lack of a play-making point guard. After finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, 11-year veteran Russell Westbrook is joining the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Prior to the end of the trade deadline, the nine-time All-Star guard was dealt from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Utah Jazz and will now suit up for the Lakers’ crosstown counterparts.

There’s no doubt about it. In the Los Angeles Clippers history, there isn’t much lifting trophies and hanging banners.
In fact, there’s none.
Even after half a decade, three different cities, the Clippers have still yet to make a mark on the NBA’s history book. But what they did do is produce the greatest line of off-the-bench scorers. The players that take over and entirely shift the momentum game. The players that check in on the co...

Paul George acknowledges the Clippers are stacked as they see off their Western Conference rivals. In what could be a huge result when the NBA’s regular season seeding is locked in ahead of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers took down the Phoenix Suns 116-107.

168 games later, the sharpshooter leaves L.A., having won the hearts of Clippers fans for good and all. When I walk around the vast gothic campus of Duke University, remnants of Luke Kennard greet my gaze.
Hung on one of the door rooms of Duke’s Trinity Residence Hall is a whiteboard that reads, “Who is your favorite Duke basketball player of all time?” Above the obvious fan favorites — the likes of Paolo Banchero, Jayson Tatum, and Zio...

For the Orlando Magic, Valentine’s Day has had its quirks over the years. In 1990, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan was infamously forced to wear a nameless No. 12 jersey after his came up missing at Orlando Arena.
On this day 30 years ago, the Magic played their first triple-overtime game. Shaquille O’Neal bounced back from a poor offensive start with several key defensive plays down the stretch as the Magic topped the New York...

Can the Blues turn around a sinking ship? To say that the Blues’ play as of late has been uninspiring is being very generous. Mired in their longest regulation losing streak since Craig Berube took over as coach, the pressure is on for this team to play as well as they did during the first three games.
Brandon Saad is still out for tonight, but the team has options, and they’ve chosen to exercise them. From stlblues.com, here’re tonight’s lines:

What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games.
Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in.
He’s getting one more game’s worth of rest before returning Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, and honestly, a healthy Buchnevich is worth one more game out. Will that make a win again...

Sead Haksabanovic, never heard of him mate, and never have you, don’t act it.
Maybe the Sorare enthusiasts have, but that’s it.
Anyway the Daily Record are reporting we’re signing him and he is YET another attacking player which provides us with even more depth in those areas.

A battle between two of the best rookies in Evan Mobley and Scottie Barnes makes both of them viable options on Thursday. Time is running out for certain players to make their cases in the respective award races they are involved in. Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the three favorites to win the MVP award. Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes, and Cade Cunningham are vying for the top spot in the Rookie of the Year race. Ja Morant...

With Ja Morant ruled out on Wednesday, the guards on the Grizzlies give us plenty of value to choose from. The NBA has been largely unpredictable this season and blowouts have become even more abundant recently. Weird things have been happening across the association as of late and it’s made things difficult to predict, whether you are playing NBA DFS or sports betting. For example, on Monday night, the Miami Heat were easily defeated by the Philadelphia ...
