The Edmonton Oilers have won three of seven games since the Christmas break. While they have been playing better as of late, they are still struggling to find consistency on a night-to-night basis. They lost in a shootout to the L.A. Kings, who were playing their third game in four nights and on the second…
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been searching for reliable reserve point guard play for a little while now. They had it last year with Ty Jerome, who turned in the best season of his career and earned a lucrative deal from the Memphis Grizzlies. The Cavs essentially swapped him for Lonzo Ball at that position, but […]

Raphinha was once again the star of the show on Sunday, scoring twice as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 to win the Spanish Super Cup.

As the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline approaches, point guards are flying across the NBA landscape. The Washington Wizards just acquired Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks. It appears that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will be the next domino to fall. Meanwhile, up in the corner of the country, the Portland Trail Blazers are playing […]
The Chicago Bulls’ best player, point guard Josh Giddey , had been in the midst of a fringe All-Star season (fine, fine, maybe a fringe All-Star injury replacement season). But he’s also been out of commission for the last two weeks with a hamstring strain. With Chicago set to square off against lottery teams three times in the next six days, the team could certainly use as many healthy bodies as it can get to notch easy wins. According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic , Giddey has be...
The Mavericks are back home after a three-game road trip to face the Brooklyn Nets for a second time this season. Their first matchup was exactly one month ago, where Dallas won 119-111. This time around, the Mavericks will be without Anthony Davis and possibly P.J. Washington, while the Nets will not have first-round pick […]
The farewell tour LeBron James will go on after announcing his retirement will be as marketable as it will be memorable. As is the nature of life in 2026, everyone will be trying to get a piece of the pie. It’s with that in mind that Monday’s news feels a bit like a soft launch […]
The Edmonton Oilers head to Chicago tonight to face a Blackhawks team that’s been through absolute chaos recently. An illness bug ripped through the roster, taking out five starters at one point. They had to call up multiple AHL players just to ice a lineup, including an emergency goalie. It was a mess. But here’s…
The Thunder are frauds! That’s what r/nba and the talking heads are having you believe, and it’s not hard to see why following a 6-6 stretch. Still, the OKC discourse has swung too far in the opposite direction. Remember, they were only one of two teams (along with the 73-win Warriors) to ever start a […]
The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center. When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...
Josh Hart is the literal heart of the Knicks. It’s not just his name. I don’t need to regale you on what Hart does well. We’ve seen it over the past three-ish seasons of him in the orange and blue. He hustles, he’s a good secondary playmaker, he’s an exceptional rebounder, etc. Some fans, though, […]
Source Right now, the playoff road feels a little less bumpy for Seattle and Denver. Both teams earn first-round byes after finishing on top of their conferences, and that’s no small thing.

Like many youthful teams in 2025-26, the Chicago Blackhawks have yo-yoed up and down this season. After a surprisingly good start, then free-falling as the weather got colder, are the Blackhawks back on the come-up? That’s what their fans hope for ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Connor Bedard is back after nearly…

The Seattle Seahawks have had their bye week (with a couple of practices mixed in), and now it’s time to prepare for Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round showdown with the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not often that a team plays the same opponent twice in a row, but that’ll be the case for the Seahawks, whose […]
The San Antonio Spurs jumped out to an early lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves but could not finish strong as they fell to their Western Conference counterparts late in the game. Victor Wembanyama led all players with 29 points while Keldon Johnson chipped in 15 points off the bench. Luke Kornet along with Julian Champagnie […]
“It comes with responsibility,” Jordi Fernández said post-game Sunday. “Responsibility to take the shot when you open, responsibility to box out when you have to. Obviously, the 19 second chance points — once again, if we don’t rebound, we don’t win. We’ve been the number one defensive rebounding team for a stretch of games where […]
What have they got to lose? Besides a lot of games against lottery teams, that is. It’s getting frustrating, isn’t it? I tried to warn against panic. Perhaps that was projection. It may have been an ill-advised attempt at manifestation. It feels awfully trite now. The Rockets have lost three straight and four of their […]
