Draymond Green points out problem with NBA and society
Draymond Green is speaking facts once again....
Recent stretch shows Carmelo Anthony could be Portland’s X-Factor as he climbs NBA all-time scoring ranks
Who doesn’t love nostalgia?...
The Derrick Rose trade could work for Knicks, but only if Immanuel Quickley is allowed to grow
Derrick Rose is back in his second home. The New York Knicks re-acquired the former MVP in a deal over the weekend with the Detroit Pistons, confirmed on Monday morning. The Knicks sent a 2021 second-round pick and enigmatic 2017 top-10 draft choice, Dennis Smith Jr., to Detroit....
De’Aaron Fox is totally right about pointless All-Star Game, which should be virtual like Pro Bowl
De’Aaron Fox, following a 26-point, 11-assist performance in a loss to the Celts Wednesday night, said during his postgame Zoom conference that the NBA’s lust for an All-Star Game this season falls a bit shy of sagacious. ...
The Miami Heat are victims of circumstance
It’s easy to eyeball the defending Eastern Conference champions through the prism of disappointment without absorbing the nuance plaguing their dispiriting season. ...
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....
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...
The Sixers look just fine without James Harden, thank you very much
The 76ers may have won the James Harden trade after all....
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: Of all the great center options tonight, who will provide the best value?
The day is finally here. The day of change. The day of a new beginning. The day the franchise enters a new realm. The day we could finally experience new heights. A fresh start. A clean slate. A new vision. ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
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. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Someone’s gotta score for the Houston Rockets tonight
I’ve never smoked crack before, but the rush of an NBA transaction probably brings me closer to that feeling than the Houston Rockets were to making any of their 27 straight threes to end that infamous game 7. That James Harden trade … man, hopefully, we could actually get through this season....
NBA Daily Fantasy: Why would you <em>not</em> play Kevin Durant? And is the debuting Kristaps Porzingis worth a look?
We’ll have to wait and see how he feels in March or so, but so far, Kevin Durant’s been an MVP candidate. Did you see him last night against the Denver Nuggets? And people think the Nets will drop off without Kyrie Irving. Pffft. The Slim Reaper won’t let that happen. Let’s stay in Brooklyn for the ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Will Tyler Herro take advantage of a depleted Heat roster?
We’re beginning to see actual cancellations, so bet carefully. FanDuel didn’t even list the Philadelphia 76ers versus Miami Heat game but fret not. Two of today’s choices come from that game, but alternatives will be provided for FD players. You’ll be missing out, though!...
