NBA awards predictions: Bet on Coby White for Most Improved Player

The NBA's Most Improved Player Award has been incorrectly voted to varying degrees for a better part of the millennium. Perhaps the most egregious example happened when former No. 2 overall pick Ja Morant won the Most Improved Player in 2022. That ballot was a mess that saw Morant, who was already one of the league's better players, win the award…

Ugly duel should have Giants, Jets focused on different futures

The Jets and Giants only meet every four years, and after Sunday's debacle at MetLife Stadium, no one will be looking forward to their 2027 matchup. For now, though, the Jets' ugly 13-10 overtime win puts them back over.500 (4-3) and with the playoffs in sight. But in addition to the unimpressive nature of Sunday's win, which needed plenty of help…

NBA 2023: Damian Lillard trade news, updates, Ben Simmons contract, mock trades, Portland Trail Blazers, Brooklyn Nets, Tyler Herro

Damian Lillard could only be patient for so long. Now it is Portland's turn, although obviously it won't involve waiting for over a decade. But the Trail Blazers won't be rushing into a deal anytime soon after the 32-year-old requested a trade earlier this month. There is no need to anyway. With both the trade deadline and NBA draft now passed and…

Could Bradley Beal still be on the table for the Sixers, and what even are their assets?

As rumors continue to surround James Harden's free agency decision, could the Sixers pivot and turn their attention to Bradley Beal?

Playoff Odds: How to bet Celtics vs Heat, Game 2

The Miami Heat simply will not go away. We assumed they'd go away against the Bucks and Giannis would eventually put down the pesky rebellion. That never happened. The series against the Knicks was a coin toss but most assumed the Knicks would put up more of a fight. The "Zombie Heat", as Bill Simmons called them entering the playoffs, continue to…
