Monday follows up Christmas weekend with a very promising seven game slate.

Eight games Friday and still more and more players are being sent into health and safety protocol. Future postponements are inevitable, and since the institution of the rule forcing teams to announce their lineups 30 minutes prior to game time, it's never really been enforced. The amount of variability in the NBA right now is […]

A massive 13-game slate on Wednesday is the perfect chaser for last night's trio of competitive games.

There are 10 games Monday and it's no surprise that the Hawks-Minnesota matchup possesses the highest point total for tonight.
