The Cleveland Cavaliers host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for their annual trip to Cleveland on Wednesday.

Kevin Durant didn’t sugarcoat it. After the Rockets held Victor Wembanyama to a rough 5-for-21 shooting night last week — including 3-for-18 on jumpers — KD offered some veteran wisdom disguised as postgame analysis. “He’s still working on his jump shot. We made him shoot over us,” Durant said. “He’s more dangerous when he gets layups and dunks. That’s more …

With nine games on the board, it’s a jam-packed Hump Day of basketball action, which means a ton of NBA player props to bet on. I’ve found my three favorites for today, which include a continuously undervalued Immanuel Quickley as he goes against his former team, and LaMelo Ball will create a buzz with the 3-ball when the Hornets take …

Xavier wasn’t supposed to be able to hang with either of their last two opponents. Creighton had run them off their own home floor a month ago, and St. John’s is two games clear of anyone not named UConn in the Big East. Both teams figured to make short work of the Musketeers. The fact that Xavier was in both …

The Los Angeles Lakers are now Luka Doncic’s team, and James doesn’t fit his timeline. James could retire this summer, but it’s hard to imagine one of the greatest …
