There are 11 games Monday, but not many that are expected to be close.   The average spread for the day’s games currently sits at 11 points, which is the […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! March Madness may be a college basketball event, but the NBA is not safe from the madness of March.

NBA Best Bets of the Day (3/19)

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Normally I would be writing here about how upset I am that this is not a TNT Tuesday night of NBA action, but looking at the slate, I understand that decision.   March NBA basketball is very fickle and not for the weak of spirit. Teams’ motivations are unclear and […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Thank you for taking a few moments away from your March Madness brackets to read this piece!

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA seasons grind on with a six-game slate Friday. To be honest, it’s a messy group of games. We do get to see Nikola Jokic go against Victor Wembanyama, but any other potential marquee matchups are marred by player availability concerns. 82 games is a lot to play in […]

This is a TNT Thursday, which means we have a few marquee matchups and a few other games of varying quality.   Injuries are a part of the long, 82-game season […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s a TNT Tuesday of NBA action with seven games that fall into two, starkly different groups. Three, possibly four, matchups featuring good teams or promising young players in games with teams with clashing styles of play.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA season rolls onward with a six-game slate tonight. We have two matchups between teams poised to make deep postseason runs, two matchups between interesting members of the league’s middle class, and to be perfectly honest, two games that are kind of a mess.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! We have a jam-packed slate of games on a TNT Tuesday. Unfortunately, Joel Embiid’s knee injury has taken most of the excitement out of the first game, but the second national TV is a must watch. The Houston Rockets go to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder in a game […]
