Kelly Oubre, Jr. has a penchant for getting under the opponent’s skin. Whether it’s doing a push-up after he gets knocked to the floor, flexing after an and-one or blowing a kiss after a made three, his flamboyance can irk even the best players in the league. Just ask Paul George. Before they were teammates, […]

One of the best album titles, ever, is Jagged Little Pill. Sure, we’ve all heard of the cliched tough pill to swallow. Morissette paints a more visceral picture. The pill isn’t hard to swallow due to its size. It’s jagged. That’s worse. Here’s a jagged, medium-sized pill for Houston Rockets fans to swallow: Ime Udoka […]
My family and I spent some 17 hours of our Australian summer holidays road-tripping, nothing but the open road and the music blaring through the car speakers to stimulate our senses. It was during this—somewhere in-between my country shuffle and the kids’ umpteenth play of “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters—that the idea spawned: when you […]
Last February, the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors completed a five-team blockbuster for star forward Jimmy Butler. The two sides could re-engage for a deal once again, but this time for another disgruntled forward. As soon as he became eligible to be traded on Jan. 15, Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga reportedly “demanded” to be […] The post Report: Warriors could explore reunion with Heat’s Andrew Wiggins appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
At Mavs Moneyball we operate out of an instance of Slack, that’s how we do business, chat, watch games, etc. It’s one of those things I wish we could open to the public (a Discord?) but I don’t have time to manage one more thing. So sometime I’ll come back to a given Slack channel […]
In a season that has made no sense, it’s only fitting that Northwestern’s first conference win came in the most ridiculous game they’ve played to date. USC brought back its top recruit, point guard Alijah Arenas, to make his debut on Wednesday after returning from a torn meniscus suffered in the offseason. Northwestern elected to […]
Two of the NBA’s best scorers — Tyrese Maxey (third, 30.1 points per game) and Jalen Brunson (eighth, 27.9) — face off when the Philadelphia 76ers (24-19) host the New York Knicks (26-18) on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 3 p.m. ET on ABC.

In the 76ers’ win, Maxey led the way with a team-high 36 po...
NBA trades come in many shapes and forms. Some go better than others. One of the most lopsided trades in recent memory came in July, 2024 when the Washington Wizards traded forward Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers for veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon, a couple of second-round picks, and a 2029 first-rounder. Brogdon played […]
The Clippers were in control for the majority of the game against the Lakers on Thursday night. They jumped out to a double-digit lead early and had everything going their way.

Early on, against the Clippers, the Lakers’ offense was humming. This was largely due to Luka Dončić. He was aggressive, like he typically is at the start of games, which helped LA jump out to a four-point lead midway through the opening quarter. However, LA’s offense quickly stalled. While Luka’s shot diet consisted of double-digit […]

We are less than two months away from the start of the 2026 NCAA Tournament. Can you already believe it?! We are still far out — 153 days, to be exact! — from the 2026 NBA Draft. But it’s never too early to be talking about the next crop of prospects.

The Dallas Mavericks may be the hardest playing team in the NBA. They certainly play the hardest among teams not currently in the playoff picture. They’ve accumulated their fair share of dumb losses this season — and stolen several eye-catching wins — but one guarantee every time the ball is tipped is that Jason Kidd’s […]
Coming off a tough loss against the Houston Rockets, the Spurs traveled to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Jazz. Luke Kornet did not play due to an adductor injury, and Lauri Markkanen did not play due to reconditioning. After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Spurs started the second quarter on a 15-0 […]
The Portland Trail Blazers will be looking for their fifth win in a row when the surprising Toronto Raptors come to town tonight. The Blazers are fresh off a stout 127-110 win against the visiting Miami Heat on Thursday. The only real negative came in the form of an apparent aggravation of the back issues […]
The Chicago Bulls have quietly pieced together a three-game win streak. Their latest victory on Thursday night, a 120-115 road triumph against the Minnesota Timberwolves , coincided with a successful Josh Giddey return to action. The 6-foot-7 point guard had gone down with a hamstring strain during Chicago’s last tilt against Minnesota in December, causing him to miss 11 straight contests. Former Bulls MVP point guard Derrick Rose is gearing up for his jersey retirement after his hometown...
