Well, that’s no fun. The Sixers released their injury report ahead of their second NBA Cup matchup against the Detroit Pistons. VJ Edgecombe’s name has popped up — he is listed as questionable with back spasms. He did take a couple of hard falls in his most recent game against the Boston Celtics, but this […]
Game 17: Montreal Canadiens vs. Dallas Stars Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Stars region: Victory + Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ There wasn’t much to be happy about in Tuesday’s game versus the Los Angeles Kings, a 5-1 loss that stands as the most lop-sided defeat of the season for Montreal. But there was one positive, and that was the play of the fourth line versus a team that was able to contain the Canadiens’ at...

If there is one thing that immediately jumped off the screen about the 2025-26 Chicago Bulls, it was their chemistry. A young group lacking that clear No. 1 option, the team fully embraced an equal-opportunity system. They started the year punching teams in the mouth with their tempo and depth. Even in the wake of their four-game losing streak , the Bulls essentially have seven players averaging double-digit points per game. The group’s 67.5 assist percentage also ranks seventh in the NBA...
Road wins are hard to come by in the NBA. Last year, 18 teams had a record under .500 on the road. At home, only 11 franchises lost more than they won. So, with the Lakers embarking on their first extended time away from Los Angeles, it had to be considered that things could get […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are carrying an adequate, if not impressive, 6-5 record 11 games into the 2025-26 NBA season. Their style of play has been described as exciting, vibrant, and fast-paced. Pundits have had good things to say about emerging star Deni Avdija and fourth-year guard Shaedon Sharpe. But not everybody is pleased with […]
Well, at least the court looked nice? This was a game that basically highlighted everything good and bad about this current iteration of the San Antonio Spurs. All the promise and potential coupled with the rough edges that simply must get sanded off before anything of substance can get accomplished around here. They need to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers saw their first player be drafted into the NBA since 2022 this offseason when star guard John Tonje was selected No. 53 overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2025 NBA Draft. He followed Johnny Davis, who was taken by the Washington Wizards with the No. 10 pick in the 2022 NBA […]
Nine months after trading Luka Dončić to the Lakers in perhaps the most ridiculed deal in NBA history, Nico Harrison is now unemployed. The Dallas Mavericks parted ways with him on Tuesday after leaks began springing up about his job security in recent days. The Mavericks are now expected to work with Anthony Davis and […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers left Miami with a greater sense of pride as their reserves stunned the Miami Heat and their fans. They now turn to face Toronto in Cleveland the next night. Who: Toronto Raptors (6-5) at Cleveland Cavaliers (8-4) Where: Rocket Arena — Cleveland, OH When: Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:00pm EST TV: NBA TV, […]
Well, it appears one reinforcement is on the way. No, Paul George will not make his season debut in Detroit Friday and Joel Embiid’s status is murky at best, but it looks like there’s a chance two-way forward Dominick Barlow could return to the lineup. The 22-year-old’s elbow laceration has healed enough to the point […]
Los Angeles will be taking another flyer on a former first round pick. As first reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the South Bay Lakers plan to acquire Kobe Bufkin. He was selected with the No. 15 pick by Atlanta in the 2023 draft and averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists last year […]
The Anthony Davis snowball started rolling down the hill this week, and it’s finally become too big to ignore. With the Dallas Mavericks finally moving on from general manager Nico Harrison , the Dallas Mavericks’ future has become a hot topic around the league. Many are staring at their win-now roster, wondering how ownership or a new front office management will choose to proceed. Is the plan to continue to build upon Harrison’s shaky post-Luka Doncic plan that centered around Davis and...
The Philadelphia 76ers have assigned Jared McCain to their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. He is expected to practice and suit up for Thursday night’s game against the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets’ G League team.

The Washington Wizards lost to the Houston Rockets last night, 135-112. Kevin Broom is out today, so I will fill in with his stats-based analysis. I won’t be as great as he is. But I’ll do my best. First, let’s look at the Four Factors. The Good The Bad Washington will have some time off […]
The season has only just tipped off, but Zuby Ejiofor is already impressing draft experts enough to land on their radars. Earlier this week, Bleacher Report and NBA TV draft expert Jonathan Wasserman projected the Johnnies’ star center to be selected by the New York Knicks with the 24th overall pick in his latest two-round […]
Ah, the bad old days. Last night’s ugly 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons felt a lot like the Chicago Bulls of the past few years. Handed an opportunity to snap a losing streak against a heavily depleted opponent, they played easily their worst game of the 2025-26 season. After narrowly taking down the San Antonio Spurs with the same lineup, they played down to the makeshift Pistons rotation and faced a double-digit deficit for essentially the entire game. No Cade Cunningham or Jal...
