3, the Knicks floor general has been averaging 31.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.7 boards to go along with a sizzling 50% mark from deep.
1 pick hasn’t looked anything like the player who earned three All-Star selections and a pair of NBA All-Defensive first-team nods with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Nets bench boss Jacque Vaughn admitted postgame that finding playing time for Simmons would be challenging with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving no longer sharing the floor with him.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the Milwaukee Bucks’ current 12-game winning streak – tied with the pre-deadline Nets for the longest this season – perfectly coincides with the return of Khris Middleton.
Milwaukee has been the hottest team in the league since Middleton’s return, with key wins against fellow postseason hopefuls like the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers , Miami Heat, and the top-ranked Boston Celtics.
One year after doing nothing at the trade deadline, Chicago again did nothing at the trade deadline – one of just two teams to stand pat, in fact.
1, Chicago has been tied with the Miami Heat as the second-best team by defensive rating , but the Heat are six games clear of the Bulls, suggesting Chicago’s issues may be sourced in something beyond the numbers.
While Kevin Durant has yet to suit up for the Phoenix Suns due to injury, his addition immediately raises the team’s ceiling through the roof.
So what are the chances the Suns finally win their first title since joining the Association in 1968? At full strength, they have arguably the best roster in the league.
After entering 2023 with a 23-13 record, the New Orleans Pelicans now sit just 30-29 and are running the risk of completely derailing a once promising season.
The recent prognosis on Williamson is not very positive, and with the Pelicans likely without him for most of their remaining regular-season games, the rest of the team must begin to find continuity.
