Not only does the NBA officially return on Tuesday night, but there is a whole new way to enjoy the action this season!
Bleacher Nation Fantasy recently rolled out a revamped app, which includes a new pick’em game where users can win real cash prizes. The reception of this updated DFS game by NFL fans has been amazing, but I genuinely think something like this is best played during the NBA season. BNF will have over 500 picks to make every day across the NBA. It can be something as simple...

The Houston Rockets are back, ladies and gentlemen! Not just back playing again (that, too), but back in contending status heading into the season. Sure, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference last season, which measures up as a viable contender (especially in the West) but that wasn’t expected. The Rockets caught everyone by […]

If someone told you a month ago that Joel Embiid would be suiting up for the opener in Boston against the Celtics, you’d have called them crazy. But here we are, the day before opening night, and the 2022-23 MVP is not listed on the injury report, meaning the big fella should take the floor. […]

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird.
McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

For many people, myself included, the NBA on NBC represents the first era of NBA basketball they were alive for. To be clear, while there was a stint from 1954-62 in which the NBA was on NBC, the 1990-2002 run is a run that an entire generation of NBA fans grew up with. Of course, […]
