The Washington Wizards play the Orlando Magic at 7:00 p.m. tonight. Watch the game on Monumental Sports Network.
This last week has been pretty rough across the board for the Knicks. Blowing a 19-point lead on New Year’s Eve to the Spurs snowballed into three straight bizarrely uncompetitive defeats, with two of them only appearing close at the end due to a strong fourth quarter. After Monday’s blowout loss in Detroit, there seem […]
Let’s get this out of the way immediately: the Oklahoma City Thunder are still the best team in the league.
However, it seems like other young, athletic teams — on the right night — have their number. Unfortunately for the Thunder, the second-best team in the West certainly applies to this rule. And it appears their quest for a 70-win season may be dead.

They can’t all get healthy at the same time without there being some doubt. Fresh off their worst loss of the season the Sixers look to bounce back hosting the Washington Wizards, and they’ve released an injury report for that contest. Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Trendon Watford are all listed as questionable for […]
Before he strained his left hamstring midway through an eventual 136-101 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey was looking like an All-Star.
At least, he was to the people paying attention.
Apparently, the fact that his Bulls are barely on national TV and are hovering around a .500 record in the JV Eastern Conference might be hurting his case to at least be named an All-Star starter.
The NBA has released the second batch of results f...
Injuries are not, and cannot be, an excuse for how poorly the Knicks have played.
