The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Houston Texans on Christmas Day, and the biggest running back in the league is ready to feast. Coming off an elating win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday, which kept them alive for the AFC North title, the Ravens will surely come to Texas flying high. Although quarterback […]

Of the five-game Christmas Day slate, arguably none has bigger playoff implications than the rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals. Back in May, the Dallas Mavericks came out on top, ousting the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves in five games. This season, based on current form, has been much of the same; Dallas has won eight […]

Besides the NBA Finals, Christmas Day is when the lights are brightest on the NBA’s superstars. Jalen Brunson lives for that pressure. Wednesday’s five-game slate will tip off with a matinee a block and a half off Broadway, where the New York Knicks will host the San Antonio Spurs. America’s biggest market is, of course, […]

The Kansas City Chiefs’ magic number — besides 15, of course — is down to one. With a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in western Pennsylvania on Christmas Day or a Buffalo Bills home loss to the New York Jets on Sunday, the Chiefs will secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a […]

As Ja Morant goes, so do the Memphis Grizzlies. In the 2022-23 season, Morant played 61 games and Memphis finished 51-31, nabbing the second seed in the Western Conference. Then, the season after, suspension and injury limited Morant to just nine games, and the Grizzlies missed the playoffs entirely. This year, Morant has played 17 […]

Of all the good teams in the Western Conference, the emphasis has rightly been on the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets. But last season’s conference champions, the Dallas Mavericks, have been as good as ever, winning eight of their last 10 and climbing to fourth in the standings. Even with perennial MVP candidate Luka […]

Amidst all the good teams in the crowded Western Conference standings, the Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t expected to be near the back of the pack. But after trading Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in the offseason, Minnesota has struggled to get anything going. The Timberwolves are 14-13, behind the Kawhi Leonard-less LA Clippers […]

Monday’s 14-game NBA slate will see a true David vs. Goliath clash, as the 22-5 Oklahoma City Thunder, who have the second-best record in basketball and the best net rating, take on the 4-22 Washington Wizards, who have the worst record and worst net rating. To make matters even worse for the Wizards, it’ll take […]

LeBron James continues setting records, as he climbed to the top of two more leaderboards last week. On Thursday, he broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 35-year-old minutes played record, and two days later, he passed Kareem again with his 1,510th double-digit scoring game. And, having recorded three consecutive wins against quality opponents, the Los Angeles Lakers are […]

Monday Night Football will mark Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s second-ever game at Lambeau Field in an opposing uniform, and, while he was quiet in his first return, he’s enjoying somewhat of a career renaissance with the New Orleans Saints. The former Green Bay Packers wideout was one of Aaron Rodgers’ more reliable targets early in his career, […]

It’s hard to expect too much from a team that just lost its starting quarterback for the rest of the season. It’s even harder to have high expectations when its star running back, one of the best dual-threat players in the league, will also miss the game. That’s the situation that the New Orleans Saints […]
