Joel Embiid Scores Another 27 Points

Coming off a dominant performance in a loss to the Indiana pacers, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid contributed enough to get his team in the win column for the first time since the restart.

Nikola Jokic Notches Triple-Double

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 30 points with 12 boards, 10 assists, 10 made free-throws and two steals in a 121-113 win over the Thunder. Jokic did all this despite going 0-for-5 from beyond the arc, so there was potentially room for even bigger numbers. Thunder center Steven Adams simply had no answer for […]

Thomas Bryant Posts Another Double-Double

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant made it two double-doubles on the bounce with a 20-point, 11-rebound effort in Monday's loss to Indiana.

Jarrett Allen Will Rest On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (rest) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is quite shocking news considering the Nets don't have much frontcourt depth. He played 38 minutes last game and Brooklyn is playing three games in four nights. Rodions Kurucs and Lance Thomas should see plenty of playing time […]

The Carolina Hurricanes took a stranglehold in the second game of the best-of-five series against the New York Rangers on Monday afternoon.

The Miami Marlins had all of their COVID-19 tests come back negative on Monday. That makes three days in a row of all negative tests for the Marlins.

Nurkic dominated Boston on Sunday in a losing effort, scoring 30 points with nine boards, five assists, two steals, a block and a triple in 32 minutes. The 25-year-old feasted on the […]

Mitch Garver Breaks Out Of Slump With Homer

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver finally broke out of his 2-for-15 funk with a second-inning home run off Aaron Civale. The baseball gods smiled upon Garver, as he popped up foul down the right-field line but the Indians were unable to make a play on the ball. The 29-year-old clubbed the next pitch 412 feet […]

Jarrett Allen Puts Up 22-15 Line

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen posted 22 points and 15 rebounds in 38 minutes of floor time on Sunday. Allen didn't do much in his first game back- only playing 27 minutes- though it's possible the Nets wanted to ease him back into things. The 22-year-old is all Brooklyn has manning the five position in […]

Christian Dvorak Sparks 1st Period Rally for Coyotes

Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Dvorak picked up two points in the first period, a goal and a primary assist on Clayton Keller's power-play goal.
