The team’s four-game winning streak against mid-major Eastern Conference teams isn’t that impressive on paper, but they have established themselves as contenders during that stretch. Indiana, Toronto, Philadelphia and Atlanta are by no means the toughest challenge in the NBA, but coming out and dominating inferior opponents is the sure sign of a championship-level team. That’s exactly what New Orleans did.The Pelicans have moved into the top five in net rating this season (fourth overall) and over their last ten games, the Pelicans are the second-best team in…

In a fortunate turn of events, Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun avoided serious injury after a worrying on-court incident, bringing major relief to both his team and the NBA.

THE Utah Jazz (28-36) welcome the Boston Celtics (50-14) at the Delta Center. The Celtics arrive in Salt Lake City as the best team in the NBA, record-wise. From a basketball perspective, this game will likely provide little entertainment. Simply, the Jazz, especially without Lauri Markkanen, are not a great basketball team. They have won only two of their previous 10 matches and entered under full scrutiny. The Celtics, meanwhile, have one of the most talented and complete teams in the NBA, led by MVP candidate Jayson Tatum. However, tonight offers a special non-basketball wrinkle, with the Jazz hosting their…
