Kyle Kuzma, all of 22, is out here being the voice of reason. People have taken to disparaging Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball in recent weeks—more so than usual. His shooting percentages are in the toilet, and head coach Luke Walton has benched him for a couple key fourth-quarter runs. Given the hype attached [...]

The Houston Rockets are really good at offense and the Phoenix Suns are really bad at defense. The Rockets clearly received a huge boost with the return of superstar point guard Chris Paul in Phoenix Thursday night as they scored 45 points in each of the first two quarters in their 142-116 spanking of the [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t exactly lighting up the nets from downtown this season. They are last in the NBA in three-pointers made through 15 games and are shooting a league worst, 28.8% from three-point range for the season.

After the Knicks comeback victory at home against the Utah Jazz Wednesday night, they are now 8-6 on the season and have been 8-3 since an 0-3 start.

Nikola Mirotic already isn’t happy that Bobby Portis is playing while he himself recovers from injuries sustained during a physical altercation between the two. And now he has another reason to wear an indefinite frowny face: Rookie Lauri Markkanen has the Chicago Bulls’ starting power forward spot on lock—so much so that Mirotic’s return won’t force [...]

Mike Conley hasn’t looked great to start the season. He’s shooting under 39 percent from the floor overall, just over 31 percent from three and not having a profound impact on the Memphis Grizzlies offense. They’re actually scoring slightly more points per 100 possessions when he’s off the court—an unsettling split that runs counter to [...]

Kawhi Leonard’s 2017-18 season debut has yet to take place, and the San Antonio Spurs haven’t offered a definitive timetable for his return from a quad injury.
