LOS ANGELES — While fans desire players to be as reliable as a calculator, the truth is they are human. And the consistency and dependability to reach a certain level of play are always a balancing act. This season, Deandre Ayton has been fairly consistent for the Lakers. He’s started every game he’s played in, logs […]
The Lakers badly needed a reset after a pretty rough stretch of games over the holidays. Fortunately, the Grizzlies offered themselves up as a middling team ready to take a couple of losses. Nothing about the last two games changes the problems or long-term outlook. But it does improve the mood ever so slightly. LeBron […]
Coach Mark Few was not happy with the effort from his No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs (16-1, 4-0 WCC) in the last two meetings and sent a message. He went with his eighth different starting lineup of the 2025-26 season and gave freshman wing Davis Fogle (two points on 1-for-3 shooting in ten minutes) his first […]
Gav says… Brobbey hits his stride I think Brian Brobbey has been really good recently and the goal he scored against Spurs was probably the best we’ve scored all season, although you have to give credit to Omar Alderete, Nordi Mukiele, Granit Xhaka and in particular Enzo Le Fée for their part in it, too. […]
The Utah Jazz are 3-7 in their last ten games, with two of those wins being against the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs.

After giving up 65 points in the first half, the Lakers held the Grizzlies to 49 points in the second half. Each team started off […]
The Phoenix Suns just knocked off the Oklahoma City Thunder. So on the one hand, they’ll be tired as they come in to play the Houston Rockets. On the other hand, teams that beat OKC (and Golden State back in the day) always get what I call a “Beating a champ bounce.” Usually a win […]
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Sacramento Kings 115-98 in a game that was mostly uneventful to kick off their West Coast swing. Giannis was dominant for the Bucks with 37 points and 11 rebounds. Russell Westbrook stuffed the stat sheet for the Kings with 21 points, six rebounds, three assists, four steals, and three blocks. […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are fresh off a win against the San Antonio Spurs, a feel-good start to the 2026 calendar year. The Utah Jazz are on tap tomorrow. If Portland weren’t so random, it’d be easy to predict a three-game winning streak and a genuine hot streak on the rise. As Portland fans know, […]

Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday and forward Jerami Grant will continue to be out of the lineup versus the Utah Jazz on Monday night as they continue to recover from injuries, the organization announced on Sunday.

So much for playing better. The Wizards hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves — on the fourth game of a four-game road trip and the second night of a back-to-back — and got vanquished, 141-115.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers weren’t able to play a complete 48 minutes against the Detroit Pistons and lost 114-110 because of it. For as much progress as the group has made over the last few weeks, the same holes from throughout the season are still present. Cleveland once again gave up a crucial offensive […]
Game Story The Washington Wizards entered the evening as winners in four of their last five games. Yet, they still remained as one of four teams in the National Basketball Association with single-digit wins (nine) on the season, and the second worst point differential (-10.5). Minnesota Timberwolves fans were rightfully queasy prior to tipoff. The […]
There is a school of thought that suggests the Portland Trail Blazers will forever be consigned to mediocrity in the NBA until they have the star power required to match the high-level talent possessed by their more fortunate opponents. Fans advocating that the Blazers go all-in on acquiring a top-5 player (or top-10 at least) […]
