Which Clipper will step up fantasy production without Leonard, George, or Beverley?
Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far. No, it’s not because of the Knicks: Their match-up with the Utah Jazz saves this from being downright abysmal. That […]
Vanessa Bryant Reflects On Kobe & Gianna’s Deaths One Year Ago: ‘It Still Doesn’t Seem Real’
We can’t even imagine what Vanessa Bryant must be going through right now, what with Tuesday being the one-year anniversary of the deaths of her husband Kobe and 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a tragic helicopter crash.

We tuned in to see the return of Kyrie Irving as he was finally going to join James Harden and Kevin Durant in the most offensively-gifted trio in NBA history.

NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these two […]
Dear Jackie MacMullan: Kyrie Irving and Black NBA players aren’t anybody’s ‘property’
Jackie MacMullan is one of the world’s best sportswriters and has covered a Black league in the NBA for decades. As a woman working in a male-dominated industry, you would think she would have a good grasp on the diminished role minorities have historically played in sports. Read more…
NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand.
