It’s officially Dec. 15! A somewhat pivotal day in the NBA calendar, as all contracts in the league (most notably ones signed just over six months ago in the summer) become tradeable. Even more importantly, players traded today and tomorrow can have their salaries aggregated in additional deals ahead of this year’s deadline. So, with […]

Over the weekend, former Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale sought to give Houston Rockets two-way standout Amen Thompson his flowers. Understandably so, as Thompson hasn’t been necessarily having a consistent season. Up-and-down would be the best way to coin it. It’s not entirely on him. The point guard experiment has […]

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (15-10) will look to bounce back from a Thursday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks when they host the Detroit Pistons (20-5) on Monday. But, as they look to get back on track, they could be without Payton Pritchard, who is listed as questionable due to a neck right neck […]

The Miami Heat’s hot start to the 2025-26 season has unfortunately cooled off. Heading into Monday night’s matchup versus the visiting Toronto Raptors, Miami is looking to finally snap a four-game losing skid and secure a long overdue bounce back win.

No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball won its seventh game in a row on Sunday, an 85-60 victory over the Toledo Rockets of the Mid-American Conference. For the third game in a row, though, there was little to convince outsiders that the Buckeyes are a team prepared for Big Ten play. “I think they’re a […]

The Portland Trail Blazers hold a 10-16 record in their 2025-26 NBA Campaign. Sitting 11th in the Western Conference, looking motivated some nights and confused on others, would normally bring considerations of a reset. But Zach Harper of The Athletic has Portland firmly in the “buyers” department at the opening of NBA Trade Season [subscription […]

There have been 50 draftees who have played at least five minutes in an NBA game this season. Miami Heat rookie Kasparas Jakucionis, who the franchise drafted No. 20 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, is not one of them. Jakucionis’ lone minute — 54 seconds, to be exact — came in the Heat’s 140-123 […] The post Davion Mitchell raves about Heat rookie: ‘He’s a dawg on both ends’ appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Can the Celtics beat Detroit again? The Detroit Pistons (20-5) sit atop the Eastern Conference and have shown the consistency of a legitimate contender. A few weeks ago, however, Boston (15-10) pulled off a mild upset, defeating Detroit 117-114 at TD Garden during the NBA Cup group phase. The Pistons entered that night riding a […]

It is far from an overreaction to state that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a disastrous season. Standing currently at 15-12, based on the past few seasons, one could think they have gone through hell and back to come out that slow. Not at all. Actually, in the past two games, the […]

The news isn’t great, but it certainly could’ve been worse, too. After practice on Monday, Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill provided an injury update on Connor Bedard, who suffered an apparent injury to his right shoulder while taking a faceoff in the closing seconds of Friday’s game against the St. Louis Blues. According to Blashill, Bedard is not expected back for this calendar year and will be re-evaluated when the calendar flips to 2026. Connor Bedard will be reevaluated after the ...

As we’ve discussed here at BH, December 15th is a key date for the Bucks’ ability to make roster moves. Per the CBA, any player signed this offseason as a free agent can’t be traded for the later date of three months after their signing or today unless they meet certain criteria, which I’ll get […]

The Nashville Predators are on a clear path to rebuilding and tearing it all down, much like the Chicago Blackhawks did before getting lucky with Connor Bedard and what the San Jose Sharks did, trading or moving on from all of their old core and old regime. The Predators need this. Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, and Juuse Saros are three great pieces to have, but the team hasn't been built well around them and they missed their shot at a Stanley Cup because the door slammed shut last offseason af...

The New York Knicks have two more pieces now available for dangling in the NBA trade market: Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele. These two, who signed with the Knicks last offseason, are part of a humongous group of performers who did the same across the Association and thus weren’t available for trade until the NBA […]

After not allowing opponents to score a touchdown for 9 consecutive quarters, the Seattle Seahawks said “this looks fun, let me try!” Six scoring drives. 18 points. Six scoring drives if they’re touchdowns gets you 42 points. Field goals don’t win postseason games. Unless, apparently, Jason Myers is on a hot one. I’ll just get […]
