The PGA TOUR has reached the third of its eight Signature Events, as The Genesis Invitational will take place this weekend.

Despite getting healthy again, the Orlando Magic have been unable to limit the damage. They’re just 4-6 in their last 10 games, and now they’re two and a half games behind the red-hot Detroit Pistons for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Orlando still has a five-game lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in 11th, […]

The Phoenix Suns were part of history last night in their 119-112 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, when Kevin Durant became the eighth player in NBA history to score 30,000 career points. During the game, Durant was clearly the No. 1 option, as co-star Devin Booker had just 17 points on six-for-13 shooting. The Suns […]

Arguably the biggest winner of the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers prior to the trade deadline wasn’t the Lakers, or the Dallas Mavericks, or even Dončić himself. Instead, it was the greatest 40-year-old in NBA history, James — who has averaged 25.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per […]

Wednesday, February 12 is an NBA day, with all 30 teams in action, all but 10 for the last time prior to the All-Star Break. A 14-game featured slate — all but the Clippers-Grizzlies game at Intuit Dome — means that DFS players on DraftKings will have nearly unlimited choice while filling out their lineups. […]

During the most shocking trade deadline in NBA history, there were several teams that made calls to inquire about the availability of Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, including — reportedly — the Golden State Warriors, the team with which he won his only two championships and finals MVP’s. Another suitor was the Memphis Grizzlies, who […]

Usually, the only way that the PGA TOUR visits the same course twice in one season is if that course hosts a major championship. However, after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles closed Riviera Country Club temporarily and caused an estimated $250 billion worth of damage, The Genesis Invitational was moved from Riviera to Torrey […]

Of the seven major NBA award races, five of them look more or less settled, with Rookie of the Year probably the most intriguing battle. But the Most Improved Player award is setting up to be a duel between Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (-120) and LA Clippers shooting guard Norman Powell (+125). Cunningham […]

Last spring, the Indiana Pacers emerged victorious over the New York Knicks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, notching a 130-109 win over a shorthanded Knicks team that lost Jalen Brunson during the contest to a broken hand. During that game, Indiana’s marquee midseason acquisition — power forward Pascal Siakam — had 20 […]

As the NBA ramps up towards All-Star Weekend, February 11 offers a modest four-game slate of hoops action, but there are still plenty of decent matchups, including a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals. No teams are on the second night of a back-to-back, so the injury reports should be pretty clean, but all […]
