More time for Amari? Over the last three games, Amari Williams played five minutes against the Brooklyn Nets, then followed that with 10 minutes against the Chicago Bulls during a back-to-back. In his limited time, Williams impressed with his defensive ability while also looking competent on the offensive end. That earned him an expanded role, […]

As their number two behind Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns is central to the Knicks’ plans. Lately, though, he hasn’t been central to how games are ending. Over the past week, a new strategy has emerged from New York’s coaching staff. When the screws tighten, their most effective lineups have often come with Towns watching from […]

Tonight’s Spurs vs Rockets I-10 showdown at the Toyota Center is a massive divisional clash with both jockeying for playoff positioning. The Spurs (31-15) arrive as one of the West’s biggest success stories this season, led by the impossible-to-miss Victor Wembanyama and a backcourt fueled by De’Aaron Fox. They’re looking to shake off a recent stumble against the Pelicans and prove they’re ready for a deep playoff run.
Across the court, the Rockets (28-16) have turned their home floor...

From mid-December until just last week, the Knicks played the worst stretch of basketball they’ve played since 2022. So naturally, it’ll take more than a three-game winning streak, with two of the wins coming against the Nets and Kings, to win back the trust of the fanbase and the belief of the national media.

Seattle selected Bradford in the fourth round of the 2023 draft out of LSU, and in 2025, his snaps jumped from 578 in 2024 to 1,037 in […]

Two pieces dropped on Wednesday morning that give us two unique perspectives on the current state of the Blackhawks’ rebuild. One comes from outside Chicago, an analytically-driven assessment that compares the Blackhawks’ projection for the future (the next seven years in this case) to other organizations in a similar situation. The other is a conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson about how he views the trajectory of the franchise.
Because the two speak to similar ide...

One of the Lakers’ underlying issues throughout the season has been their paltry bench scoring. While their starting lineup has been great, their bench has left much to be desired. Rui Hachimura’s emergence in recent games as a viable scoring option off the bench has been a huge boost in that regard. For really the […]
