This has somehow been the most injury plagued season of Tyler Herro’s entire seven-year career with the Miami Heat, which has already been filled with an assortment of availability issues throughout. Herro has appeared in just 11 of the Heat’s first 42 games during this 2025-26 campaign thus far. And that figure is likely to […]

Something had to be done following the embarrassing losses the Milwaukee Bucks have piled up recently and Doc Rivers opted for wholesale changes, starting Kyle Kuzma in favour of Kevin Porter Jr. and handing Gary Trent Jr. a DNP-CD in favour of Pete Nance. The moves proved positive for the most part, the Bucks leading […]
Our world needs heroes with the integrity of Martin Luther King, Jr. Let us all pay him homage today. The great ones deserve our respect. Who didn’t deserve such reverence this evening? The Knicks (25*-18)! On the day that Jalen Brunson was minted as an All-Star starter, New York embarrassed itself against the shorthanded Dallas […]
Two-time All-Star Victor Wembanyama put up numbers comparable to his lights-out Saturday performance, and after a second quarter lull where Utah briefly possessed the lead, San Antonio put away a depleted Jazz team with an excellent 35-23 third quarter. The Spurs nearly hit the magical 50/40/90 mark with 56% from the field, 42% from three, […]

On paper, it’s two losses. […]
The Brooklyn Nets couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in the home-and-home. They’re back in Brooklyn on Monday where they’ll welcome former Nets assistant Jordan Ott and his new-look Suns. It’s Ott’s first season as head coach after he spent six years with the Nets, spanning from Kenny Atkinson to Jacque Vaughn. Onto the […]

As his playing time continues to wane, culminating in a DNP-CD on Jan. 17 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sixers assigned Jared McCain to their G-League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats for a chance at extended run. It’s the second time they’ve sent him down this season, the first being a two-game stint in mid-November. Despite […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers ran into a buzzsaw today as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat them 136-104. Let’s see who won and lost the game. WINNER – Lu Dort This is the first time I’ve given ‘winner’ to an opponent this season. That’s not to say there haven’t been great performances from the other teams all […]

Donovan Mitchell 19 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds This is a nightmare matchup for Mitchell. He’s shot 5-19 tonight, and was 3-15 and 3-16 in his […]
Chicago Bulls star Josh Giddey could actually take the floor again, for the first time in three weeks, as soon as Tuesday!
K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports that the 6-foot-7 point guard, who has missed the Bulls’ last 10 contests with a left hamstring strain, has seen his status for a home encounter with the ascendant Los Angeles Clippers upgraded to “questionable.”
On Sunday, Giddey laced up his sneakers for his first five-on-five action since first suffering the injur...
Wizards lose their seventh straight game. Those pesky young Wizards fought in this game. This is despite the dominance of James Harden. As the game went on, the Wizards decided to double team Harden to get the ball out of his hands more. Harden did a great job of moving the ball to the open […]
The NBA season is a little more than halfway over for the 30 member franchises vying for the 2026 NBA Playoffs race. In honor of the event, Kevin Pelton of ESPN has offered grades for each team based on the season so far. The Portland Trail Blazers did not earn an A, but they got […]
CLEVELAND — It’s been wrong to use injuries as an excuse for many of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ losses this season. They’ve had enough talent in many of those defeats to prevail still. Monday afternoon was different. They didn’t have the right combination of skill players to compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder and were thoroughly […]
The NBA announced that Bam Adebayo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played from Monday, January 12 through Sunday, January 18. After a rough stretch of games, he followed that with a dominant stretch that helped guide the Miami Heat to a 2–1 record with notable wins against the […]

No Deni Avdija? No problem. At least you wouldn’t think so from the Portland Trail Blazers’ response to Avdija missing three of four games this week due to injury. Not only have the Blazers won three in a row, two of their players—Shaedon Sharpe and Donovan Clingan—earned consideration for NBA Player of the Week. When […]
There’s been a lot of rumors about other teams’ interest in Michael Porter Jr. (latest reportedly from Milwaukee) and Nic Claxton (as always from the Lakers) and even Day’Ron Sharpe (at least historically from Boston), but nothing about Cam Thomas. Thomas famously exercised his qualifying offer back in the summer and less famously switched agents […]

The Chicago Bulls might be getting their best player back this week. On Sunday, $100 million point guard Josh Giddey partook in his first five-on-five practice since suffering a hamstring strain during a workout with the Bulls’ NBAGL affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.
Giddey’s All-Star reserve dreams may be dashed if he misses much more time. We already know he missed out on starting , although that never felt like a real possibility. In 10 games without the 6-foot-7 Aussie, the Bulls have ...

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Knicks (25*-17) return to Madison Square Garden looking to snap a three-game skid against a struggling Dallas Mavericks team (17-26). The Knicks edged the Mavs 113-111 in Dallas last November. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have been cleared to play, while hotshot rookie Cooper Flagg is listed as […]
I’m going to be so real here — I hate the NBA trade deadline! It’s weeks of baseless rumours, being on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop… even though it might never drop. It has me on edge every year, and I sit here every February just counting down the seconds until it’s over. […]
The Dallas Mavericks (16-26) head back out on the road after a four-game homestand. They face the New York Knicks (25-17) on a Martin Luther King Jr. day game showcase on Peacock and NBC. Dallas has won two in a row after playing the shamelessly tanking Utah Jazz. The Knicks are looking to stop a […]
