Domantas Sabonis has been integral to the Kings having a positive record so far this year. It will be a quiet night in the NBA on Tuesday with just three games on the schedule. There is the potential for a couple of blowouts, with the Bucks hosting the Wizards and the Celtics taking on the Thunder. We could also see a high-scoring affair when the Jazz host the Kings. The Jazz will be shorthanded, though, with Collin Sexton (hamstring) expected to miss at least the next week. Let’s dig… Source link

Lauri Markkanen is having a breakout season, averaging 22.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.9 three-pointers per game. Thursday will bring just two games in the NBA.

The Pelicans have a loaded roster and playoff aspirations, while the rebuilding Spurs have their sights set on a high draft pick. The second game of the night will feature the Wizards, who finally broke their 10-game losing streak Tuesday, taking on the… Source link

It’s a battle of two California teams as LeBron James and the Lakers head to Sacramento for Wednesday’s matchup. We have our usual robust Wednesday night slate on tap, as 11 games are on the docket. There are several advantageous positional matchups to exploit, as well as a good trio of candidates that may be best to steer clear of due to a combination of circumstances/salary.   Guards Jaylen Brown, BOS vs. IND ($40): Brown went off for 53.8 Yahoo points in Monday’s loss to the… Source link

Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz travel to Detroit to face the Pistons for Monday’s first matchup of the night at 7 p.m. ET. Tuesday brings a modest five-game schedule in the NBA. Jimmy Butler will take on one of his former teams with the Bulls, who are off to an 11-18 start that could make them surprise sellers at the trade deadline. The Warriors will once again be in action without Stephen Curry (shoulder) when they travel to New York to take on the red-hot Knicks. The marquee matchup… Source link

Domantas Sabonis has been dominant recently, and a Charlotte matchup on Monday looks like a favorable game for him. The NBA starts off the week with nine games on the schedule Monday. The marquee matchup of the night could take place in New Orleans when the Pelicans host the Bucks. However, both teams will be shorthanded with Khris Middleton (knee) and Brandon Ingram (toe) out. Another matchup with plenty of star power will feature the Suns hosting the Lakers. The Lakers will be playing… Source link

The Miami Heat are either the most injured team in the NBA or threw a very public dig at the league. The team’s Friday began with the NBA fining it $25,000 for “failing to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players” before its win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. For those who don’t speak league office, the NBA was punishing the Heat for sitting star Jimmy Butler, among others, for what the team called “knee maintenance.” Despite missing Butler, the Heat… Source link

LaMelo Ball is finally back in action after missing 11 games. Buckle up for a packed Friday with 10 NBA games.

The Jazz and Pelicans will face off again, coming on the heels of the Jazz blowing out the Pelicans on Tuesday. Let’s dig into some of… Source link

Anfernee Simons’ high-percentage shooting makes him an appealing player for Wednesday’s matchup against the Spurs. We have our usual robust Wednesday night slate on tap, as 10 games are on the docket. There are several advantageous positional matchups to exploit and a good trio of candidates that may be best to steer clear of due to a combination of circumstances/salary.  Guards Terry Rozier, CHA vs. DET ($33): Rozier continues to be a linchpin for the Hornets amid many injuries, and… Source link

Terry Rozier and the Charlotte Hornets host the Detroit Pistons in one of the first matchups of the night at 7 p.m. ET. There will be no shortage of action across the NBA, with 10 games on the schedule Wednesday. One team to keep an eye out for is the Warriors, who will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set when they face the Pacers in Indiana. Given how they previously handled back-to-back sets, we could see multiple starters sit out. The Kings will also be playing for the second… Source link
