LEBRON JAMES HAS shown no signs of slowing down as he rapidly approaches the NBA's all-time scoring record long held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It seems like a safe bet that James, who recently celebrated his 38th birthday, will become the first player to break the 40000-point barrier. He's averaging 29.1 points per game for the Los Angeles Lakers,…

LOS ANGELES - It was only a pickup game after Wednesday's practice on the campus of the University of Southern California. But there was Josh Green, ripping and running and flying up and down the court like he didn't have a care in the world. The Dallas Mavericks' third-year guard was attacking the basket and soaring through the sky - just like the…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Unfinished business. That's the theme of the 2022-23 season for the Cavaliers. Fueled by an underdog, Cleveland-against-everybody mentality, the scrappy young group became the NBA's greatest surprise last season, rocketing up the Eastern Conference standings, doubling their win total from the previous season and advancing to the…

NEW ORLEANS - It's a safe bet the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2023 will have a heavy Spurs presence after point guard Tony Parker and coach Gregg Popovich - yes, Popovich - were announced Wednesday as first-time nominees. In addition to Popovich and Parker, several other members of the Spurs family were included in the…

On Monday night, in the Golden State Warriors' 112-104 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Klay Thompson passed Dallas Mavericks legends Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd for 13th place on the all-time three-point list. Thompson finished 8-of-16 (50%) shooting from downtown. It was the six-year anniversary of his 60-point performance against the Pacers. The…

Luka Doncic has been unstoppable this season, but the Pistons aren't going to offer up much competition tonight, and the Mavs could easily wind up in cruise control. See why our NBA picks are backing a backseat from the Dallas superstar. In a bit of an NBA scheduling oddity, tonight's game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Detroit Pistons is the…

The first of two TNT games features the Golden State Warriors against the Dallas Mavericks. It's a rematch of last year's Western Conference Finals and should be defined by pettiness (more on that later). The second game of the night features an injury-ridden and underperforming Los Angeles Clippers against the young and surprising Portland…

The 2022-23 NBA regular season is in full swing and the race for the championship is on.

The Orlando Magic have had to ask Franz Wagner to do a lot. It has not always looked comfortable for the forward who seemingly makes everything look easy. Wednesday night, the Magic were again asking a lot of Wagner. Paolo Banchero was out, ridding the team of one of the key players that drives the team in this period where the team is playing…

With the 2022-23 NBA season about to tip off Tuesday night, there is no better time than to showcase the 2023 NBA MVP odds, courtesy of FanDuel. For the last two years, Nikola Jokic has done wonders for the Denver Nuggets. So much so that he was named NBA MVP for back-to-back seasons. Jokic more than deserves the honor as the Nuggets would be…

We're only a few months removed from the blockbuster trade that saw the Utah Jazz send Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, Ochai Agbaji, and a collection of picks. So far both teams have looked good to start the 2022-2023 campaign. The Cavs are 2-1 with a close loss to the Toronto Raptors on…

It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Warriors-Pelicans prediction and pick. The Warriors are coming off a horrible loss to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night.

The Dallas Mavericks lost Jalen Brunson in free agency this summer. They helped the 26-year-old go from a second-round pick to the team's second-leading scorer. Brunson's fourth-year breakout was impressive, and he proved himself in the postseason as the Mavs reached the conference finals. Brunson joined the New York Knicks this offseason as he saw…
