LIVE DISCUSSION: Brooklyn Nets at Sacramento Kings, 6:00 PM ET

While all eyes are likely on Darryn Peterson headlining against St. John’s, the Nets are quietly playing the most important game of the season strictly because of lottery odds. Sacramento won two in a row and suddenly they have a game on Brooklyn. Tonight can change all of that. We have a thread dedication to […]

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Pacers

If you follow NBA Draft conversations, you’ve likely heard some familiar narratives about Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs. Some argue the Spurs should have taken Kon Knueppel, as he fits into the team’s current needs as a knock-down shooter who can play on or off the ball. Others argue that Harper is held […]

No Requiem for the Wicked: Blackhawks vs. Predators Preview

Following a loss on Friday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon — a team that was supposed to be at the bottom of the standings, but has snuck their way back into the playoff conversation. The Predators are currently in the second wild card spot with 73 points. That’s right: even though Nashville was supposed to be hanging out in the basement of the league alongside the Blackhawks, they’ve won three straight, have a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 g...

SB Reacts: All eyes on the NCAA Tournament

Though the NBA season is rolling on, a good chunk of the basketball world puts it on the back burner every March to pay attention to the NCAA Tournament. And there are plenty of bets to be made for both leagues if that’s your thing. This week at Mavs Moneyball, I kept the survey simple. […]

Iowa Hoops: previewing Hawks/Gators, how to watch, & fan discussion

The 9-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes (22-12, 10-10) take on the 1-seeded, and defending national champions, Florida Gators (27-7, 16-2) this evening in Tampa, FL. It’s the first chance Iowa’s got of getting to the Sweet 16 since 2021 and it is a slim one. Team Rankings gives the Hawks about a 20% chance while KenPom has […]

Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week!  Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve.

NCAA Tournament Sunday Live Discussion: Trains, Hawks, Bruins

All five Big Ten teams survived Saturday—Sunday could have more chalk, and if it holds, only one B1G team will survive today. We had our best friends over yesterday, up from wisconsin, with their two boys in tow. Basically spent the whole day running around after the kids, though with drinks in hand—Cutwater margaritas and […]

Rockets have the luxury of thinking about the future

Confession: I have not watched enough Houston Rockets games this year. I feel bad about it. I write about the team. I’ve never been an 82-game fan. Are you crazy? Living where I do is a factor. Some of these games start at 11 PM for me. I am writing this on my 39th birthday. […]

What’s next for the Hawks after victory versus Warriors?

The Atlanta Hawks took on the Golden State Warriors in an out-of-conference contest on Saturday.

Game Preview: Knicks vs Wizards, March 22, 2026

Happy Sunday, folks. To put a cherry atop your weekend, the Knicks (46*-25) host the Wizards (16-53) tonight at Madison Square Garden. Washington just wants to end their miserable season, yet given how New York plays down to competition, a sixth consecutive win is not guaranteed. I mean, it’s like 95% guaranteed, but I’m supposed […]

Box Grades: Spurs blow out Pacers early, cruise to win

Games like this are interesting in that the two teams playing are pursuing fundamentally different goals. Furthermore, because these goals are so diametrically opposed, the game’s outcome either means that both teams win or both lose. Coming into last night’s game, Indiana was riding a 15-game losing streak to the best lottery odds available in […]

Vucevic is expected to be re-evaluated in the next 1-2 weeks as he continues to recover. Jaylen Brown is probable to play as he deals with a left quad contusion. The rest […]
