In 2023-24, it was the Oklahoma City Thunder who jumped from 40 wins to 57. Last season, the Houston Rockets went from 41 wins to 52. Can the San Antonio Spurs improve from 34 wins to 44? They’ll have to make that 10-win leap in order to hit their over, currently set to 43.5 at […]

If there was an award for the most surprising move of the 2025 offseason, it’d have to go to the Milwaukee Bucks, who signed former Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner to a four-year deal and waived Damian Lillard, stretching the remaining $112.6 million of his contract over five years instead of two. Lillard is the […]

The defending champion New York Liberty are still figuring out life without center Jonquel Jones, some three weeks after losing the Bahamian to an ankle sprain. Since she went down on June 19, the Liberty are just 2-5 (0-5 against any team not from California). The road doesn’t get too much easier for New York […]

However, the Cavaliers came out […]

The LA Clippers made one of the more intriguing moves of the NBA offseason this morning, dealing Norman Powell to the Miami Heat and acquiring John Collins from the Utah Jazz. It will sting for LA to move on from Powell, who averaged a career-high 21.8 points and surely would’ve received some Most Improved Player […]

Between their move to Salt Lake City in 1979 and the 2024-25 season, the Utah Jazz had never lost more than 60 games in a season, the only team in the NBA to accomplish such a feat. They are also one of just six NBA teams never to have picked first overall. Their reward for […]

Five months after the most shocking trade in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers still seemingly lack a direction. As the Minnesota Timberwolves proved with a first-round throttling, the roster isn’t championship-ready, and the rest of the West got better. That said, Los Angeles still rosters Luka Dončić and LeBron James, so the prognosis is […]

As a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, it’s my favorite day of the week, especially after coming off a sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros: Yoshinobu Yamamoto ($10,500) day! The Japanese star was named to his first All-Star team yesterday — undoubtedly the first of many. Any time he pitches, he’s a must-start, especially […]

Kevin Durant is a Houston Rocket. I repeat: Kevin Durant is a Houston Rocket. Unsurprisingly, adding a six-foot-10 sniper tends to increase teams’ win totals and championship probabilities, so it’s no surprise that the Rockets have an over-under of 54.5 wins at DraftKings Sportsbook, the second-highest in the Western Conference and the third-highest in the […]
