Our experts rank the best teams in the league, from No. 1 to No. 30, with the Utah Jazz rising and the Brooklyn Nets sliding.

Continue readingThe dreadful race for 8th in the NBA’s Western Conference is incredibly unfamiliar
The Spurs might still find a way to extend their NBA-record streak of consecutive playoff appearances to 23 years in a row. They followed a win over the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night with a 129-114 victory over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday to improve their record to 16-20. “Our themes have been the […]
Continue readingTen NBA things I like and don’t like, including the Lakers without LeBron
It’s really the only blemish on an otherwise dominant season: The Lakers average 100.5 points per 100 possessions with LeBron James on the bench — three points worse than the league’s clankiest offense. It’s all shooting: The Lakers with LeBron sitting don’t get nearly as many profitable shots — corner 3s and attempts in the […]
Continue readingFantasy 30: KAT, Kyrie getting close to game action?
Atlanta Hawks: Jabari Parker‘s production has dropped off considerably since John Collins returned, and now Parker is out for at least two weeks after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on his right shoulder on Tuesday. Parker can safely be dropped in 10- and 12-team leagues at this point. Boston Celtics: Enes Kanter remains available in 22.5% […]
Continue readingCeltics’ Kemba Walker ejected for first time in NBA career
“I thought I was being nice,” Walker said with a smile afterward. “I thought the ref missed the call. I voiced my opinion, and the rest is history.” The call Walker was referring to was a bone-crunching moving screen set on him by Spurs big man LaMarcus Aldridge — one that sent Walker flying to […]

Previous rankings: Week 11 […]
Continue readingTrae Young’s bag of tricks holds more than 30-footers
The Hawks call this area their “flex space,” and today, it’s serving as Young’s personal film room. He peers down at the screen beside him to watch a highlight he has seen countless times. “Oh yep,” he says with a coy grin. “This play.” Young is about to school LaMarcus Aldridge. In the video, Young […]
Continue readingFrom Charles Barkley to Joel Embiid: The fight to modernize the NBA big man
Embiid also confesses that what he craves nearly as much as knocking down those treys is to lure players into believing he is about to release the 3. He does this with a most curious pump fake: hoisting the ball well above his head, then unfolding ever so slowly, like a rusty crane squeaking in […]

Continue readingTriple-doubles, 30-footers and all the stats that defined this NBA decade
In case you haven’t noticed, the 2010s are officially over. And it was a wild ride in the Association. It was a span full of triple-doubles, shattered 3-point records and LeBron James trips to the NBA Finals. However, other questions remain outside of points, rebounds and assists. Who was statistically the best in the clutch? […]
