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....
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.

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...

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.) ...

Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand.

Cowboy Mounted Shooting Is A Sport With Its Own Ideas About The Old West
SOCORRO, New Mexico — Ten traffic cones dotted a large dirt pitch, each threaded with a helium balloon: five yellow, five pink.

Markelle Fultz Shooting Form Update: At Least The Dunks Look Cool?
Markelle Fultz played basketball in an NBA uniform for the first time since last November on Saturday, in a preseason game between his Orlando Magic and the San Antonio Spurs. Fultz was inefficient, as you’d expect from a guy who hasn’t played in so long and is on a new team, but he flashed some too...
Markelle Fultz Shooting Form Update: Tempting Fate In A Hype Video
Nobody’s heard much from Markelle Fultz since he was traded to the Orlando Magic last February, which is probably for the best. Aside from getting healthy and rebuilding his shoddily rebuilt jump shot from the ground up, what Fultz needed most was some time out of the spotlight. That time appears to...

Dominican Republic officials announced today that they have arrested the 12th and likely final person connected to the June 9 shooting that hospitalized David Ortiz.
