If NBA fans heard prior to the season that, three weeks into it, one of the Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers was in the play-in picture in its conference and the other was second-to-last, all but the most ardent Pacers haters would assume that Indiana had a winning record and Phoenix was awful.

Last night’s 12-game NBA slate was wildly entertaining, and tomorrow night will bring nine games of Emirates NBA Cup action. By comparison, tonight’s three-game offering represents a lull, but with one 7 p.m. ET tip-off and two 9 p.m. ET games, there will be hoops action from dinner time into the witching hours. That 7 […]

With the clock winding down on the San Antonio Spurs’ 117-114 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, Victor Wembanyama changed the tide of the game in a hurry. First, he drained a 28-foot three-pointer from the right wing, rebounded Harrison Barnes’ block of Tre Jones’ layup, and isolated at the top of the […]

Entering the 2018 NBA Draft, the most intriguing prospect was Luka Dončić, and it seemed plausible that either the Slovenian maestro or Arizona center Deandre Ayton would be drafted first overall. Kentucky’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a talented player but not widely on the radar. Dončić ended up going third overall and Ayton first, while Gilgeous-Alexander […]

It’s never too early to start looking ahead to the NBA playoff chase. It was clear by this point last season, when the Oklahoma City Thunder were 9-2, that they were among the favorites to win the NBA championship, and they ultimately went on to claim it. Of course, surprises could be in store — […]

Perhaps more than any team in the league, the Indiana Pacers are a reminder that fortunes can change quickly in the NFL. The Pacers held a lead in the first half of Game 7 of the NBA Finals less than five months ago, but after losing Tyrese Haliburton to a torn Achilles tendon and Myles […]

UPDATE: Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (right knee soreness) has been ruled out for tonight’s game. On the opening day of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers back-court of VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey combined for 74 points in a one-point win over the Boston Celtics. Boston returned that favor four games later by beating the […]

On paper, the Atlanta Hawks arguably had the best offseason of any team in the Eastern Conference, bringing in Kristaps Porziņġis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Luke Kennard to bolster a core that already featured Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and Dyson Daniels. The LA Clippers also seemed to have a great summer, acquiring John Collins, Brook Lopez, […]

Entering the NBA season, few would have expected the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls to both be in playoff positioning after the first three weeks, but if the season ended today, each team would host its first-round series. The Spurs’ success is less of a surprise — after all, they have a likely Defensive […]
