12:06 AM ET LOS ANGELES — Tempers flared just after the second-quarter buzzer sounded in Friday night’s game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers when several members of the Grizzlies engaged in a shouting match with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, who was seated near the court. Referees and security intervened
LeBron James has never backed down from answering the big questions. Like whether cereal or milk should go in the bowl first. Sports debates can get heated, with strong opinions on all sides. But not since the great “hot dog is/is not a sandwich” wars of 2020 have we seen as much passion as the
It seemed like the Los Angeles Lakers had turned their season around. But a recent skid has them looking at rock bottom again. Things were looking up in Los Angeles. Dennis Schroder was making everything. Thomas Bryant was dunking everything. Super Saiyan LeBron was back and the Lakers had won six of seven games. Things
Friday night brings us a bunch of NBA action, but I’m focusing my efforts on two games on the slate for today’s best bets. We’re starting with a prop and side in the Miami Heat-Dallas Mavericks game, and we’re ending the night with a play on the Oklahoma City Thunder, a favorite of mine this
3:00 AM ET PHOENIX — Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons‘ struggles continued during a 117-112 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night in which he was ejected for arguing with referee Eric Lewis after playing just 18 minutes.

The Utah Jazz got a win on Monday, 126-125 over Minnesota, Wednesday, 126-103 over the Los Angeles Clippers, and now they’ll go for three straight tonight at home against Brooklyn.

12:38 AM ET Kendra AndrewsESPN BOSTON — For the first three quarters of the Golden State Warriors‘ game against the Boston Celtics on Thursday, Stephen Curry and company looked like themselves. Coach Steve Kerr went as far as to say they looked like a championship team. But then, in the fourth quarter and through overtime,
Four primary drivers of the Grizzlies’ success during an 11-game win streak exist. Three are sustainable … but one may not be. The Grizzlies received a lot of flak earlier in the year after the typically brash Ja Morant offhandedly mentioned that Memphis was “fine in the West.” Malika Andrews: “Who do you look at
1:05 AM ET Tim BontempsESPN BOSTON — The Golden State Warriors returned here Thursday night for the first time since they beat the Celtics in Game 6 to claim the 2022 NBA championship. For much of the 53 minutes of basketball that followed, it felt like a repeat of how that series played out: lots
Thursday night’s NBA action brings us a couple of primetime games, and I have a player prop pick in each for bettors who want to really get involved in the game. Both players have hit these props in at least eight of their last 10 games, so we’re banking on consistency to keep this going
5:46 PM ET ESPN staff The Chicago Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons, 126-108, in Paris for the NBA’s second-ever regular-season game in France. Editor’s Picks 2 Related Perhaps no one was more excited than Pistons guard Killian Hayes, who grew up in France and played professional basketball for Cholet Basket. “I think it’s a once-in-a-lifetime
Steph Curry’s injury is giving us a chance to see Jordan Poole as the centerpiece of Golden State’s offense. Is he ready for that responsibility? The keystone to the Golden State Warriors dynasty (a fellow known by some as Stephen Curry) has missed their last seven games due to injury, and yet somehow, the unit
Bobby Portis is having one of the best seasons of his career and making a strong case as the best bench player in the NBA. In the Milwaukee Bucks’ final game of last season, their seventh of a second-round series against the Boston Celtics, Bobby Portis felt as though he let his team down. Portis
12:03 AM ET DALLAS — The drastically improved defense that helped the Dallas Mavericks make a run to last season’s Western Conference finals seems like a distant memory, prompting coach Jason Kidd to call out his team’s poor effort on that end of the floor. Kidd made his pointed comments, sprinkling in a healthy dose
There’s some rare air in today’s NBA best bets column, as I’ve put together a little parlay for the people in the New York Knicks-Washington Wizards game as one of today’s best bets. It’s been a terrific 2022-23 season, as we’re up over 11 units, and I’m looking to add to that with a spread

One of the best ways to bet on the NBA is through prop bets, and there are two players I have my eye on for Wednesday night’s action. Aaron Gordon and the Denver Nuggets are in the second game of a back-to-back, but that could give some value for the forward to have a big
Jan 16, 2023 Tim BontempsESPN NEW YORK — As Jalen Brunson‘s potential game-winning 3-pointer sailed through the air, Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse had a clear look at its trajectory. And, as it arced toward the basket, Nurse only had one thing going through his mind. “I just kind of said, ‘Please don’t go in,'”
The Cleveland Cavaliers are swinging with the best of the Eastern Conference, but are still looking for upgrades. The Cleveland Cavaliers are so back. After trading for Donovan Mitchell this offseason, the Cavs sit at fourth in the Eastern Conference, back just three games in the loss column from the first-place Milwaukee Bucks. The move they
Even though there are only four games in the NBA on Tuesday night, there are still plenty of bets that you can place. Sure, there’s always spreads, moneylines and totals to bet, but if one of those isn’t calling your name, betting props is a great way to attack the NBA. The BetSided team is
