Thunder vs Timberwolves Odds, First Basket Props, and More for Thursday, January 29th

Tonight’s Thunder vs Timberwolves matchup at the Target Center has all the makings of a classic. It’s a rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals, and both teams are currently jockeying for position in a wide-open West. The Thunder (38-10) have been the team to beat all season, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-level scoring and Chet Holmgren’s presence in the paint. They’ve hit a few bumps lately, but with Isaiah Hartenstein returning to the lineup, OKC looks ready to reclaim its do...

GM #53: Winnipeg Jets @ Tampa Bay Lightning

The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...

Stats Corner: Comparing MWC, A10, AAC, and WCC Basketball

In previous seasons, Stats Corner has compared Mountain West Conference (MWC) basketball to the AAC, Atlantic 10, Missouri Valley, PAC-12, and WCC. While a Power Four bias exists in both basketball and football, the MWC has its sights set on challenging the Big East for the title of the nation’s fifth-best conference. This week Stats […]

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Rockets

I was tired before this game even started. I had just spent two straight days in 10 hours of meetings, and I was mentally done. It was my department’s annual meeting at work, and usually it’s a “destination” event. Sometimes it’s in San Antonio — yes to that! It’s my hometown, an easy drive from […]

Rockets NBA trade rumor round up

Why are we talking about trade rumors? How many of these articles… Oops. Sorry. Thought I was in the comments section. Look. It’s trade season. There will be trades. There will be trade discussions. If you’re someone who gets irrationally furious at the mere mention of an NBA trade (a surprisingly common cohort), the internet […]

Syracuse and the ACC should add women’s flag football

Since we could all use a little break from the topic of men’s basketball (spoiler alert- there’s a story next hour on that topic), let’s turn some attention to an opportunity for Syracuse and the ACC to be leaders and not followers. Women’s flag football has been building momentum and has now been designated as […]

Comments from the Other Side - Hawks 1/28/26

 I really don't like Hawks fans.  So much talk about racism and they appear to be the racist ones.  The Celtics just didn't have it last night for some reason.  They couldn't hit their shots and couldn't stop the Hawks from hitting theirs.  They like our coach and seem to like Payton Pritchard but other than that their constant comments about whities and honkies are not nice at all. And all the whining about how the Celtics always get favoritism from the refs.  I ...

Is Coby White the Missing Piece for the Detroit Pistons?

The Detroit Pistons are 8-2 in their last 10 games and now boast a 34-11 record — six games ahead of the 29-18 New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, the conference’s respective Nos. 2 and 3 seeds. They’re running away with the Eastern Conference, despite one big weakness: shooting. That’s where Chicago Bulls combo guard Coby White could come in.

MMBets — Mavericks vs. Hornets: Rookie Bowl

Nazem Kadri Confirms He Is Open To A Trade

His name has been out there as a potential trade candidate all season long. But Nazem Kadri has always insisted that he's happy in Calgary and is not interested in leaving the Flames . There is now a significant change in that line of thinking, as we have a report from David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period . Kadri is now open to a trade.  Multiple sources have confirmed that while he has not formally requested a trade, he and his camp have informed the Flames he is open to being moved.&nbsp...

The delta between worth and want

There is a particular kind of uncertainty that clings to every NBA draft pick — the wide-eyed, romantic uncertainty of projection. It is the mystery that animates fanbases, front offices, and entire ecosystems of scouting jargon: Will he translate? Will he blossom early or late? Will he break your heart or redefine your franchise? We […]
