This is so cool: Former Duke stars Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel are now the first draftees from the same school to be named Rookies of the Month in the same month. Flagg is the West Rookie of the Month while Knueppel represents the East. As the image here notes, their stats are very close: […]

North Dakota State dropped its most recent game to Arkansas State, 85-80 in OT, on Friday. Damari Wheeler-Thomas starred with 28 points, and also had six boards and two assists. When is Montana vs. North Dakota Sta...
In a lot of ways, the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic are similar teams on a similar trajectory. After years of suffering caused (in part) by betrayal from previous franchise players, they both found new ones with the top overall pick in consecutive years and have been building from there. As Victor Wembanyama and […]
Have the Dallas Mavericks (7-15) leveled up since the team’s last meeting with the Miami Heat (14-7) — or were the last two games merely blips on the radar? The injury-riddled, try-hard Mavericks pushed a Heat team without the services of Andrew Wiggins, Nikola Jovic and Norman Powell, and with Tyler Herro playing in his first […]
What is it about the ACC-SEC Challenge and Isaiah Evans? After burying Auburn under a barrage of threes a year ago, he turns the tables by hitting almost nothing against Florida this year… until the moment when it mattered most. The Duke Basketball Roundup has a joyous recap of a thrilling game that was as tense […]
The Spurs got another valuable win without Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. In their last home game in a while, they traded blows with the Grizzlies before closing strong and securing a 126-119 victory. Harrison Barnes led all scorers with 31 points. It wasn’t the prettiest start to the game, as both teams struggled to […]
I don’t need to remind most of you that the Sacramento Kings swept the Houston Rockets last season. In the first meeting, the Kings made 15 consecutive shots over a period over six minutes ansd while the Rockets never gave up, the game was over after that. The second game was the sort of contest […]
It’s a yearly tradition in the NBA world to wonder whether this will be the season a potential trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo might happen. The chatter this season is feeling more and more real, especially with how the Bucks have struggled so much with Giannis’ recent time away because of injury. The question for Utah […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back during their home back-to-back with wins against the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs. After a gust of wind hit their sails in the form of those two wins, which included some of the prettiest basketball they’ve played all season in the 4th quarter against the Spurs, they travel to […]
The Boston Celtics returned home to TD Garden to face the second-placed New York Knickerbockers on Tuesday night. Both teams took turn throwing haymakers throughout the game, but it was the Celtics led by Jaylen Brown and Hugo Gonzalez who rallied the home team, as Boston won their 12th game of the year, 123-117. Derrick […]
In a brief return home from a four-game road trip ahead of another in which they will play in 9 cities in 18 nights, the Spurs took on the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzles, and for the second time this season won by using a big fourth quarter run to end the game. It was a […]
It’s the beginning of a week-plus long home stand for the Toronto Raptors, as they welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers to Scotiabank Arena Tuesday night. After losing in back-to-back games against Charlotte and New York on the road this weekend, the Raptors got the news that Scottie Barnes was the Eastern Conference’s Defensive Player of […]
The Portland Trail Blazers treated their Tuesday evening game with the Toronto Raptors like a cat treats the back door. In it. Out of it. In it again. Out of it again. Like a proper feline, though, the Blazers ended up not only in it, but ready to jump on the counter for a proper […]
The Portland Trail Blazers fell short of a comeback in a 121-118 loss to the Toronto Raptors. Portland was led by some strong play by Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara who finished with 25 points, 23 points and 21 points respectively. On the other side, Scottie Barnes led Toronto with a 28-point performance. […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 121-102 on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Let’s say that the Sixers’ three point shooting was one of the major reasons why Washington gave this game away. The Wizards shot 9-of-36 from the three point line while the Sixers went 17-of-40 themselves. In addition, Philadelphia scored 28 points […]
A win the minutes police can be happy about (not that they’re wrong, though). The Sixers blew out a depleted Washington Wizards group 121-102, a team that already looks quite depleted at full strength. Looking to erase his mistake against Atlanta, Tyrese Maxey went for a game-high 35 points, on a scorching 13-of-26 night from […]

Avdija has been the clear star of the season for the Blazers so far, leading the team with 25.8 points per game. He’s also second on the […]
Watching Dillon Brooks prancing around Crypto.com Arena as he torched the Lakers wasn’t the best way to end LA’s homestand. The loss was bad, and it felt even worse considering it was the first time the Lakers played a team with a winning record since their victory against the Bucks back on Nov. 15. Despite […]
The Knicks head to Boston riding a four-game streak, while the Celts continue to scrap without Jayson Tatum thanks to Jaylen Brown’s scoring and Payton Pritchard’s occasional hot hand. Boston fires up huge shot volumes, but New York arrives with the stronger rebounding, a steadier offense, and better two-way balance. As long as this doesn’t […]
