Nets will be ultimate test of ‘defense wins championships’ theory
At some point, the Brooklyn Nets will need to get stops. Simultaneously, when it matters, they’ll need to prove they’re healthy. But even without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, James Harden was able to turnaround what would’ve been a dispiriting loss to the Phoenix Suns — who led by as many as 24 po...
Zion Williamson could start seeing Giannis treatment if he doesn’t diversify his game
Zion Williamson is only 50 games into his career as a New Orleans Pelican but it already seems clear that he’s going to be a problem for years to come — if he can stay healthy and in shape. Through 50 games, he’s averaging 23.6 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. According to ESPN Stats and I...
The NBA All-Star Game is a fan event, and playing one without them is idiotic and dangerous
For the most part, the NBA has done a good job navigating through the pandemic....
Kyrie Irving is having the best season of his career and it's shut up his critics
Maybe, just maybe. Some of them were “pawns.”...
These teams have never been to a Super Bowl, but how close did they get?
There are 12 teams who have never won a Super Bowl — and four of them haven’t even been to the big game....
Joel Embiid, Immanuel Quickley, and other picks to guide your DFS slate
Gambling is a humbling-ass undertaking. Fred VanVleet was awful against the Orlando Magic two nights ago, finishing with nine points and five assists, shooting 4-for-12 in the process. Last night, also against the same Magic? No one saw 54 points, three steals, and three blocks (!!) on 17-of-23 shoo...
The Nets might just have too much
Most eyes were on Brooklyn again last night, as the Clippers, the hottest team in the league, were the guests of the NBA’s latest and most vibrant science experiment in the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets came out on top 124-120, with Kyrie Irving going for 39, James Harden merely “settling” for a triple-do...
Wizards and Beal should consider parting ways
Ray Allen didn’t ask to be traded when it was clear he probably should’ve done so if he wanted to win. Not when the Milwaukee Bucks sent him to the Seattle Sonics in season seven, and not when the Sonics shipped him to the Boston Celtics before season 12....
‘Courtside Karen’ tries to lay into LeBron, gets booted
Four Atlanta Hawks fans got booted from their courtside seats on Monday night after trying to start beef with Lakers star LeBron James. ...
Lillard or Beal is a tough choice for daily fantasy – why not play both?
There are only six games tonight, but there’s gonna be a whole lotta non-defensive-ass basketball being played out there, with two games in particular that we’ll focus on here. The first is in Washington, and whew, boy, If you’re doing over/unders, I don’t need to tell you what to do. What’s bad for...
Even against Giannis and the Bucks, Enes Kanter is tonight’s best daily fantasy value play
Last week was rough in terms of daily fantasy, but we begin with a 10-game Monday slate on Day 1 of Black History Month, and it’s a snow day on the Northeast. Things are already looking up. We begin with the Greek Freak/Nigerian Nightmare up in Wisconsin....
NBA Daily Fantasy: Is Julius Randle a sure thing? And is it time to bet on Darius Garland?
Hopefully you have enough money left over for your daily fantasy ventures after your hefty Dogecoin investment yesterday. Hold on to that like you should to potential future All-Star Julius Randle, who opens our 10-game slate of picks to end the work week. ...
Damian Lillard or Steph Curry — who’s the better daily fantasy play for tonight?
To quote Joe Budden: This week has been a two-pack of ass. As far as fantasy basketball goes, we’re not looking out at an eventful overall slate until Friday. Even still, while tonight presents its challenges, it’s also an opportunity to play someone you never would due to lack of options, and be pl...
Will Clint Capela’s historic four-game fantasy stretch continue against Brooklyn?
Sometimes your targets are so far below your price range that you laugh at how easily you’ll take them. And in other instances, the bookkeepers raise their value so much, causing you to contemplate reevaluating your choices. That happened to some degree here, but still, I’m sticking to it. FanDuel i...
Which Clipper will step up fantasy production without Leonard, George, or Beverley?
Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far. No, it’s not because of the Knicks: Their match-up with the Utah Jazz saves this from being downright abysmal. T...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Don’t listen to Shaq, Donovan Mitchell deserves his due
Who else watched the TNT broadcast on Thursday night and thought, “Damn, do I really watch more basketball than Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley?” Then again, some of y’all have probably felt that way for years. (The terrifying thing is many of you might be correct.) ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Steph Curry will save you on this limited game-night
Much like a couple of nights ago, the slate tonight is thinner than your life-span when flying an airplane in Grand Theft Auto V. Seriously, even nearly eight years later I still can’t get the hang of it. Sucks when virtual condos just get in your way sometimes. ...
Collin Sexton totally got in the way of Brooklyn Nets’ ‘Big 3' debut
We tuned in to see the return of Kyrie Irving as he was finally going to join James Harden and Kevin Durant in the most offensively-gifted trio in NBA history. What we wound up getting was a coming-out party from a rising star, as Cleveland’s Collin Sexton crashed Brooklyn’s bash as the Cavs defeate...
NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...
Mets fire creep Jared Porter hours after report of his sex harassment
It had been one of the few Mets offseasons with a glow. A new owner who, at least at the moment, wants to run the team like it should be run. The acquisition of possibly the most fun player in the league in Francisco Lindor. But this is the Mets, and stepping on a rake is never more than two strides...
