Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has played well to start the 2025-26 NBA season. Without a co-star, Antetokounmpo has been doing most of the workload himself. The Greek Freak played the first three games, averaging the most points he’s ever had. The star forward has put up 36 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists on 68.3% shooting from the field. In the first game of the year, Antetokounmpo had 37 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Bucks to a 133-120 win over the Washington Wizards. He followed it up with a 31-point and 20-rebound game to secure the team’s second…

There is a bit of a rivalry between San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and OKC Thunder center Chet Holmgren. Although Holmgren was drafted a year earlier, he didn’t start his NBA season until Wembanyama was in his rookie year. Given that they’re both 7-feet tall, can shoot and dribble the ball like a guard, there were hundreds of comparisons between the two frontcourt players. But they had different situations. Wemby was given the keys to the Spurs franchise as the next big star. Holmgren, on the other hand, had a decent and somewhat developed young core that welcomed him…

The Los Angeles Lakers started the 2025-26 NBA season without their main star, LeBron James.

Thanks to All-Star guard Luka Doncic, who had back-to-back 40-point games in the first two games. Austin Reaves also stepped up his game and had 51 points…

Austin Reaves has been a major force for the Los Angeles Lakers in the first few games of the 2025-26 NBA season. On Sunday, Reaves erupted for 51 points against the Sacramento Kings. It was a surprising performance as the Lakers needed it. The team was without Luka Doncic, who was ruled out due to a left finger sprain and lower leg contusion, and will be out for at least a week. Aside from Doncic, the team was without LeBron James. According to injury reports, James could return to the lineup around November as he recovers from sciatica. Fortunately for…

No Luka Doncic, no LeBron James, no problem. The Los Angeles Lakers handed the Sacramento Kings their second loss of the season on Sunday. Despite not having their top two players due to injury, the team relied heavily on the production of guard Austin Reaves. The undrafted player took the chance to shine in front of the crowd with his 51-point performance, a new career-high. Reaves didn’t just score the basketball. He channeled his inner Doncic and had 11 rebounds and nine assists in a 127-120 win over the Kings. He also had two steals in the night and made…

Ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season, there were trade rumors surrounding Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The team that Antetokounmpo is reportedly interested in playing for is the New York Knicks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. When the season started, the rumors died down for a while. However, it picked up again after Karl-Anthony Towns’ first game of the season, where he had the same foul trouble. Adding the Greek Freak to the already stacked Knicks team could create a huge threat for the entire Eastern Conference and most of the NBA. But the Bucks are not willing to let Antetokounmpo…

Three consecutive victories have put the San Antonio Spurs in the middle of their best start to the 2025–26 NBA season. It’s the best record they have had through the first three games of the year for the first time in a while. One of the main reasons for the team’s success has been All-Star center Victor Wembanyama. The big man has been a terror on both ends of the floor, which has made the Spurs an exciting team to watch. What’s even more impressive is that the San Antonio team doesn’t have all of their players healthy. De’Aaron Fox…

Veteran big man Andre Drummond revealed that the team underwent a serious and intense summer. The…

Jonathan Kuminga has started to develop chemistry with his Golden State Warriors teammates, including head coach Steve Kerr. In the past, the coach has struggled to incorporate Kuminga in his system. The 6-foot-8 forward isn’t a sharp shooter like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It was one of the reasons why it was hard for Kerr to utilize his skills on the floor. In the 2025-26 NBA season, Kuminga has been part of the starting lineup in the first three games. Although he hasn’t been the top scorer for the Warriors, he’s made significant contributions to the franchise that drafted…

It’s a new season for the NBA, and San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has displayed a different brand of basketball. He’s more aggressive and intelligent with the basketball, which is how he was able to dominate against the Dallas Mavericks. Last season, Wembanyama was settling for more jumpers. For the 2025-26 season, he’s taking full advantage of his length by being everywhere on the court. The Spurs star had a strong 40-point game against the tall Mavericks team. Dallas started the game with Dereck Lively II at the center spot and Anthony Davis at the four. Rookie star Cooper…

During the 2024 offseason, there were several trade rumors surrounding Draymond Green’s Golden State Warriors. One of the rumors that would’ve improved the starpower of the Warriors was with the Utah Jazz. There were reports that the Warriors were interested in potentially acquiring All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen over the summer. Having him on the team would’ve given Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler another offensive star to lean on. Markkanen was an All-Star in 2023 and has been one of the best offensive players in the NBA. He’s averaged 23 points on 38.1% shooting from beyond the arc since joining the…

LeBron James will still not be in the Lakers’ lineup when they play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. James is anticipated to return in November after missing some time. Fortunately for the team, Doncic will be able to suit up. The recent injury…
