The Seattle Seahawks have made a few roster shuffles as they prepare for their 2025 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers.

White suffered a groin injury during the week 17 game against […]
The Detroit Lions (8-8) are officially eliminated from the 2026 playoffs, following a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With the postseason out of reach, the Lions are unsurprisingly ranked below the 14 teams expected to compete beyond the regular season.

The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-2 this week with losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers to start, then wins over the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks to close it out.

Every year, each team has hits and misses in free agency. Some gambles work out, and others don’t. While the Lakers still have some work to do with their roster, one area they look good in is the center position. And that’s because Deandre Ayton has been so good. Ayton has started in all 26 […]
The Wolves at the Crossroads: The Season So Far and What Must Change in 2026 As the calendar turns from 2025 to 2026, it feels like the perfect moment to take a deep breath, step back, and assess what this Timberwolves season has actually been, not just in wins and losses, but in identity, trajectory, […]
The San Francisco 49ers have quite a few playoff scenarios that could happen in the final week of the regular season, as they’re vying for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers will play the Seahawks for the No. 1 seed next weekend at Levi’s Stadium, with the winner getting the coveted first-round […]
So, the Blackhawks came out of the Christmas break with a thrilling win in Dallas and a dull thud at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That’s kinda the way things have gone this season, isn’t it? The good news for tonight is Nick Foligno is healthy and in the lineup and Ilya Mikheyev also returns from his absence to be with his family. We’re getting closer to a full Blackhawks lineup. The Blackhawks held only an optional morning skate today, so these are the new lines we saw at practi...
As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, several clubs are angling for that top pick. But whose name will be called with the pick is still a matter of some debate. So let’s run through some of our options with a good, old-fashioned 2026 NBA Mock Draft. The 15-16 Chicago Bulls continue to hover along the periphery of the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Chicago is a bit more hapless than its record appears. The Bulls are loaded with expiring contracts at key positions of need, and the team’s front of...
It’s a big night in Los Angeles, where the Pistons vs Lakers odds predict an Oscar-worthy game. The Pistons have been the surprise story of the East, but they’re coming off a rare couple of losses and are desperate to find their rhythm again. Meanwhile, the Lakers are riding high after a big win over Sacramento. A big story tonight is LeBron James celebrating his 41st birthday on the court. He’ll be carrying a massive load alongside Luka Doncic, especially with the Lakers missing a co...
After upsetting the Oklahoma City Thunder three times in quick succession, the San Antonio Spurs now find themselves back in reality. First, they lost to the tanking Utah Jazz; now they’ve lost to the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. On the one hand, this may have come as a surprise. On the other, the history of team […]
For the Portland Trail Blazers, late-game thrillers are becoming just another day at the office. No matter the size of the lead/deficit at halftime. Or the quality of the opponent. Or who’s suiting up for Portland’s MASH unit. Blazers games this season seem to always end the same way: a one-to-two possession battle in the […]

Just like that, we’re only one week away from the NFL Playoffs! Where has the time gone?! With Week 17 in the books, we’re down to just one regular-season week left on the calendar, and the Super Bowl odds are tight at the top, with the NFC West being heavily featured. Will someone from that division hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the postseason, or will a different squad establish itself as the NFL’s best this season? Let’s look at the current Super Bowl LX odds with Week 1...
The Cleveland Cavaliers were on the verge of having four All-Stars last season. Now? They are only on track for one.

Just a week ago, the Sixers were 16-11 and trending up in the standings. Joel Embiid dropped 39 points in a win over the Indiana Pacers, the most he’d scored since a Game 6 loss against the New York Knicks back in 2024. Paul George recorded a Sixers-high 35 points in a tight road loss […]
The Chicago Blackhawks close out the 2025 calendar year on home ice Tuesday night, hosting the New York Islanders as they look to finish the year on a stronger note. The Islanders come into this one sitting third in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage (.590), a spot that looks solid on paper but hardly comfortable in practice thanks to a crowded playoff picture. The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels — the latter of which is on a nine-game winning stea...

Having the same coach for a long time means you take the good and the bad for granted. In the case of Tom Thibodeau, it meant two things in particular. First, the Knicks would come out playing their hardest every single night. No question. The guys out there on the floor would give it their […]
