A lot of Rockets fans just witnessed their first full, top-down rebuild. Some of us have been here before. When the Rockets’ geriatric Olajuwon/Barkley/Pippen trio finally got put to pasture, the team’s future was unclear. Had Steve Francis not rejected Vancouver (a beautiful city, as long as you’re not in the DTES), who knows what […]
As we wait for the No. 23 Virginia Cavaliers to return to action this Saturday against Maryland, it’s a great time to check in on the former ’Hoos in the NBA. With seven Cavaliers in the pros, UVA is tied for 16th-most active NBA players among all colleges and universities. The NBA season is a […]

Despite having a 20-point advantage at one point, the Lakers were down by one late in Sunday’s game against the Suns thanks to Dillon Brooks hitting a 3-pointer with just 12.2 seconds left. With Brooks being his typical villain self, he made another bone-headed play by unnecessarily bumping LeBron James to not only put the […]
Forward Jeremy Doku suffered a lower leg injury last week, and he missed out Sunday’s 3-0 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace. According to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, he’ll miss out on tomorrow night’s League Cup quarterfinal clash, at home to Brentford FC, as well. So when is he coming back? Well, typically Guardiola […] The post Pep Guardiola Makes Prediction on Jeremy Doku Injury Return appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Portland Trail Blazers will host members of their star-studded 1999–2000 Western Conference Finals team next Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Though the press release for the event does not specify which players will be in attendance, there are plenty of good names to pick from. The roster features numerous legends, including Damon Stoudamire, Bonzi […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are almost exactly one-third of the way through their 2025-26 regular season schedule. A 10-16 record doesn’t look as good as they’d hoped at this point in the season, but injuries have played a part, and six games under .500 isn’t an insurmountable deficit. Still, it’s fair to call the beginning […]
The NBA Cup Final features an exciting Spurs vs Knicks matchup where Jalen Brunson tries to lead New York over Wemby and San Antonio in Las Vegas. Can Brunson fill up the box score? Will Wemby steal the show? Let’s take a quick look at the Spurs vs Knicks odds and player props for each team’s star from Sin City.

The NBA world at large has been quietly salivating over some of the top-tier talent expected to be available for next summer’s draft. There’s a lot of talent coming available next summer. So let’s jump into an updated mock draft — my first run at the first round here at BN! Freshman North Carolina power forward Caleb Wilson has vaulted into my top three, after being projected to go fourth in Tab’s mock draft last week . That’s usually where he’s hovering around recent mock drafts. M...
Knicks. Spurs. Bring. It. On. Mike Brown On the impact of elimination games:“Being in an environment like this, it’s a great experience for all of us, especially having the feel of a single-elimination game. There was no, ‘Hey, let’s go get them tomorrow,’ or, ‘Let’s figure it out.’ Everybody kind of hangs on to that […]
Welcome to Finals Week, where the staff of Hammer & Rails works to create content while no games are actually happening. It’s not quite the desert of mid-June, but as the players work fervently on cashing in more NIL deals and increasing their brand Finals this week there is not a lot of actual sports […]
Pistons fans were trashing their own players and when that player did something good, it's like they always liked them. Calling Payton Pritchard an angry hamster cracked me up. They complained so much about the Celtics shooting threes while they shot almost as many. All the complaints about the Pistons being targeted by the refs when they take the 2nd most free throws in the league and the Celtics take the fewest. My favorites are in bold. What are yo...
Jarred Vanderbilt has had quite a time with the Lakers. He’s had highs like the 2022-23 season, where he was an integral part of a team that reached the Western Conference Finals. Then came bad luck with injuries, which have limited his availability over the last two years. Now that he’s healthy, he has been […]
The Boston Celtics went down in painful fashion against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Once again, a glaring hole at the backup big man spot — and the inability to corral defensive rebounds — reared its head in what is becoming a familiar trend in Celtics losses this season. Joe Mazzulla has attempted to […]
The Mavericks were 1-1 this past week and now sit in 10th place in the West. They beat Brooklyn (119-111) at home on Friday before going to Utah and losing a heartbreaker to the Jazz (140-133). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring during these two games with 32 points per game. Daniel Gafford (ankle) […]
When it rains in Chicago, it pours. With not much to celebrate day to day for the Chicago Bulls, the one thing we’ve always had was Michael Jordan and his legendary run in the Windy City. But here comes Stephen Curry, breaking not one, but two Jordan records — with another major one approaching soon. So, what were the TWO Michael Jordan records broken? Let me read you the charges facing the Baby-Faced Assassin. On December 12, in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry ...
On today’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun break down the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ wins over the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, as well as the recent play of Bones Hyland. — The Timberwolves have won six of their last seven games, but of done so in somewhat lackluster fashion. Does the “eye test” even […]
Two 18-7 teams meet in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena tonight when the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs face off in the Emirates NBA Cup Final. The paths that brought them here could not look more different. Practically everyone predicted New York to dominate the Eastern Conference, while most pundits had […]
The biggest 2026 NBA Draft storyline for the Washington Wizards has understandably been about who they will take with their own first round pick. The Wizards currently have the worst record in the NBA and are on track to have a 14% chance at the first overall pick and a 40.1% chance at getting a […]
College basketball produced a great week last week, which lined up nicely with the Dallas Mavericks not playing a game for almost a full week.
