The Oklahoma City Thunder are waiting patiently for their prized pick to return to the hardwood after selecting Chet Holmgren with the second-overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Holmgren has been sidelined since August and will not play this season. While this season has gone better than many thought it would for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they…

As much fun as Wednesday night's matchup between the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder in Tulsa was, Dallas' matchup with the Orlando Magic at American Airlines Center tonight should be even better when considering that Luka Doncic is expected to make his preseason debut. After a grueling summer of hard workouts and physical…

The Hawks are 1-2 in Summer League play. Poor shooting doomed the Hawks during their first two NBA Summer League games. But the young team performed much better on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. Today is the Hawks final game before they enter the single-elimination playoffs starting tomorrow. The Hawks opponent today is the San Antonio…

Cleveland • It's fair to say that former Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is having a career-best season in his first year with the Cavaliers. After averaging 24 points per game in his five seasons in Utah, he's up to averaging 29.5 in his new uniform. He's become more efficient than ever before, shooting over 50% from the field and 42% from the 3-point…

For months now fans of the Colorado Rockies have been tantalized with idea of "Tovar Time:" the day in which the organization's no. 2 prospect and no. 28 MLB-wide prospect Ezequiel Tovar would be called up for his major league debut. There was clamoring for his call-up before the All-Star Break, only to have those hopes denied by a nagging groin…

The night before last month's NBA Draft was filled with drama after Duke's Paolo Banchero became the new favorite to be the top pick after Auburn forward Jabari Smith Jr. was the favorite for months leading up. While the movement among oddsmakers was downplayed by one of NBA's top insiders, Banchero would ultimately become the top pick on draft…

The Braves are finally free of the international free agent sanctions that hamstrung them for several years, restrictions which have contributed substantially to the lack of depth in the Braves' farm system at the moment. In their first year of being able to sign players without restriction, Atlanta put together quite a class, including one of the…

It is the line everyone remembers from the 2013 Tom Hanks movie "Captain Phillips." Well, I have one thing to say to Rob Manfred: I am the commissioner now. After rubbing the magic lamp, the genie granted me one wish and I choose to become the commissioner of Major League Baseball. Why? Because while I love baseball, I think there are some things…

When the 2022-23 season first tipped-off, it appeared as if Paolo Banchero would be the early front-runner for the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award. During summer league, the Orlando Magic shut him down after only two games, thoroughly impressed with that they had seen. In those two games, he put up close to 20 points per game, five rebounds and six…

High expectations won't burden the Houston Rockets this coming season, but that doesn't mean they're not ready to rise. So far, the Houston Rockets haven't made big moves in the 2022 offseason. They appear to have had another strong draft, though. Recall that Jabari Smith Jr. unexpectedly fell to them at No. 3. That's enough for many NBA experts to…

Things could be worse for Jamestradamus, and they certainly could be better. Back in October, I made my annual predictions for Detroit's 2022-23 campaign. The season is far from over, and in the case of the 5-18 Pistons, it really hasn't even started because of some significant injuries. But I thought it would be fun to take a quarter-season look…

The NBA's Las Vegas Summer League is kicking off with a bang on Thursday with the Houston Rockets and No. 3 overall pick Jabari Smith taking on the Orlando Magic and No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero. Banchero passed Smith as the No. 1 selection right before the 2022 NBA Draft, and he will look to show that he is the best player in this class in…

Is Banchero the Rookie of the Year favorite? ORLANDO - Las Vegas Summer League has come and gone, and the top picks from this year's draft have gotten a small taste of what life is like in the NBA. The rookies will have about two months to relax before training camp kicks off their NBA career and a race to become the Rookie of the Year. Each of the…

Hello again, Milwaukee Bucks fans! After a rougher than (I) expected stretch, the Bucks are now charging into (what I believe is) their easiest remaining portion of the schedule. This is not based on current winning percentage, or last year's, but it is more so based on how good I think the teams are. For instance, Indiana is doing well, but I…

The NBA was the first professional sports league to truly embrace sports betting as a key part of its future. Now, they're looking to foster the future of sports betting. The NBA is in the second year of its groundbreaking program, NBA Launchpad, which is an incubator of sorts for innovation in basketball. Last year's program was centered around…

The Los Angeles Lakers' Russell Westbrook era is off to a bad start. There isn't much sugarcoating available, even if you wanted it. L.A. went 31-47 in his 78 appearances. By Basketball Reference's points added, there were only two scorers in the NBA who were less efficient (Julius Randle and Reggie Jackson). When he played without LeBron James,…

WFAN | Ryan Chichester: The lead story comes from an old friend, as Ryan relays a report from Jon Heyman stating that the Yankees are willing to top Aaron Judge's preseason ask of $36 million per year. The two sides could not reach an agreement over the spring with the Yankees offering seven years, $213.5 million for a total of eight years, $230.5…

When it comes to promising young prospects, 20-year-old Jaden Hardy might be the best one on the Dallas Mavericks' roster - Luka Doncic is 23 years old, but he's already a bonafide superstar and not considered a "prospect" anymore. Despite being the No. 37 pick in the NBA Draft, many are expecting Hardy to perform at a lottery-pick level during his…

With the 2022 NBA Summer League in the books, we can start putting together our Rookie of the Year (ROY) futures portfolio. But before we get to those picks, I put together a list of key trends that date back to 1966, when the league revamped the draft to do away with territorial picks: Five of the past six ROY winners were on teams that reached at…

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been one of the worst teams in the NBA over the last two seasons. Sam Presti decided to go on a complete rebuild after trading Chris Paul in 2020. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is being developed as the franchise cornerstone of the team, with Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey, and Luguentz Dort also forming the nucleus of…

The Houston Rockets will not head into the 2022-23 NBA season with very high expectations. After finishing dead last in the league last season, the Rockets have nowhere to go but up. They will soar higher this season than they did last year but not by much. Here we will discuss four bold predictions for the Houston Rockets in the 2022-23 NBA…

The Houston Rockets have officially entered the post- James Harden era in Houston. After the blockbuster trade last season that sent Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, the Houston Rockets finished with the worst record in the Western Conference at 17-55. As a result, this netted the Rockets the 2nd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Now that the dust…

Just last February, the San Antonio Spurs point guard room was full. That is what made Derrick White expendable enough to trade to the Boston Celtics. In June, the position group took a hit with the trading of Dejounte Murray and the July release of Lonnie Walker IV (though more of a shooting guard). The team replenished it somewhat by adding…

BetOnline customers know that making NBA draft picks is a crapshoot. That may even be the case with the #1 selection. There is so much speculation involved, and not every teenager is ready to play at the highest level. Next summer the speculation may be at a minimum. In terms of who certain NBA teams may be "tanking" for this season, there would…

The Denver Nuggets are the current betting favorite to win the 2023 NBA Northwest Division at -150 odds, but the Minnesota Timberwolves aren't far behind at+165 odds after they added three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert in a trade. Since the creation of the Northwest Division at the start of the 2004-05 season, the Minnesota…

The two most coveted basketball prospects not currently in the NBA will not play NCAA Division I basketball this season. It would have been nice to have Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson in the 2023 NCAA tournament. But being totally honest, hardly anyone has seen those guys and hardly anyone will until next year's NBA summer league. But we've…

There are four games tonight. That means there are limited opportunities to find player prop bets, but they are there if you look hard enough. Player prop betting is simple, pick a stat or combination of stats. Rebounds, points, and assists, then bet the player to go over or under that stat. Let us look at the top player prop bets tonight.

Nowadays, betting on sports has become more mainstream than the original taboo label placed upon it decades ago. As many states legalize sports gambling and rake in the profits, odds are now a focus for any content-creation lane within the industry. Some are even building sportsbooks within their arenas or stadiums, promoting it to live bet the…

Milwaukee has had an interesting offseason, to say the least. Between locking up practically their entire championship roster from 2021 and landing some smart complementary wings like Joe Ingles and Marjon Beauchamp, it's a safe bet that they'll at the very least be in the thick of things to represent the East once again. Per the NBA GM Survey,…

The hype around the Kings heading into the 2022-23 NBA season isn't being felt just around Sacramento. The Ringer's Bill Simmons is all in on the revamped Mike Brown-led Kings team and had plenty of praise for their offseason moves, rookie Keegan Murray and their postseason odds. Less than four months ago, several NBA analysts and big-name media…

LeBron James wants to own an NBA expansion franchise in Las Vegas. Every time the four-time champ drops a simple snippet mentioning the state, he reignites [the] talk of expansion that commissioner Adam Silver has tried to somewhat quell. Credit the constant fodder surrounding cities like Seattle and Las Vegas as the reason why their league…

The Northwest Division is a mixed bag. You've got the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, two teams with title aspirations (as lofty as those may be). On the other end of the spectrum, there's the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder - bound for shameless "tankathon's" in pursuit of projected top picks Victor Wembanyama and Scoot…

The New Orleans Pelicans hope to keep rolling through the preseason tonight in Miami as they take on the Heat. Both teams will be without several regulars, so we won't get a true evaluation but this will be the best team the Pelicans have faced so far in the young season, so it would be nice to see the Pels keep playing well against one of the…

The NBA has handed out the Rookie of the Year Award since 1952-53. Malcolm Brogdon, selected 36th overall in 2016, is the only second-rounder to win the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award. Of the 73 winners, 55 have been top-five picks in the draft, and only six winners were selected outside the top nine (the average pick of winners is 4.7). This award…
