The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the Dallas Mavericks in Anthony Edwards’ return and behind Ayo Dosunmu’s impressive triple-double.

With this missed game, Ant will not be eligible […]

New Portland Trail Blazers Governor Tom Dundon made his formal introduction to Rip City on Thursday afternoon. In front of a packed room at Moda Center, Dundon took the podium alongside Blazers Alternate Governors Sheel Tyle and Andrew Cherng, as well as Blazers President Dewayne Hankins and General Manager Joe Cronin.

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 […]
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 […]

Things couldn’t have gone better for the Lakers this week. Not only did they win, but they did so with pizzazz. LeBron James had multiple jaw-dropping dunks, Luka Dončić scored more baskets in the month than any Laker ever, and the Lakers find themselves already at the 50-win mark with six games left to play. […]
The Miami Heat’s most recent loss to the Boston Celtics felt like an all-too-common occurrence. Miami surrendered 147 points, their second time allowing 147 or more over the last week, on 58.3 percent shooting with 21 made Celtic threes. Once prided on its defensive fortitude, the Heat displayed an episodic collapse on that end of […] The post Erik Spoelstra is shrinking his rotation, and that’s not a good thing appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
For what it’s worth, these Spurs are determined to head into the playoffs winning as many games as they can, building on their success and trying to stay motivated along the way. Couch-surfing fans (like myself) might question the need for motivation playing a game we all love, but 82 games is a grind. On […]
The king of the Western Conference is here and his name is Luka Dončić. During the month of March, no one played better than the Wonder Boy and the NBA agreed, naming him the Player of the Month for the Western Conference on Thursday. This is the second time this season that Luka has won […]

It’s been a few extra days, so it’s time to check with our friends in the Lone Star state. It’s been a good week for the Houston Rockets, which means it’s been a bad one for the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers as a result of the Jared McCain trade. Houston rebounded […]
If I’ve learned one thing from this season — or even the last 2-3 years — is that time flies, even when you’re not having fun. It felt like yesterday when the somewhat new-look Miami Heat torched the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of the season. Fast forward over five months later, the Heat […] The post 2025-26 Miami Heat Power Rankings Roundup: April appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Finally, some hardware for the campaign he’s put up. The NBA announced their rookies of the month for March and VJ Edgecombe was selected for the Eastern Conference. Not only is it his first time winning this award, but it’s the first Rookie of the Month in the East this season to not go to […]
