INDEPENDENCE — James Harden’s ability to make each of his new teammates better in different ways has stood out in the first nine games with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The instant chemistry he’s developed with Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Sam Merrill has been easy to see. Evan Mobley is looking to be the next Cavalier to benefit from playing alongside the all-time great guard.
“He’s not scared to take risks,” Mobley said about playing alongside Harden after practice on Saturday. “There’s a lot of benefits with how he just controls the game.”
Mobley hasn’t had the same time to develop chemistry with Harden. He missed Harden’s first few games with the team due to a calf strain. As such, they’ve played in just five games and 99 minutes together, but the results have been impressive.
It’s a much smaller sample size when Mobley is the only center on the court (just 57 possessions). Groups with Harden and Mobley, but without Allen, have been better offensively as they’ve posted a 122.8 offensive rating (95th percentile). The defense hasn’t been as good as they’ve had a 120 defensive rating (20th percentile) and just a +2.8 net rating (65th percentile). It’s worth noting that the Cavs have been without Dean Wade in most of these lineup configurations, which likely hurts how they’ve performed defensively.

Offensively, these groups have thrived due to Mobley knowing exactly what he needs to do to make things work on that end.
“I got to be dominating the paint,” Mobley said. He pointed out that it includes setting good screens and being aggressive offensively so that Harden can attack in the pick-and-roll.
Being a more physical screen setter is an area Mobley needs to improve. He is good at finishing in the pick-and-roll and can have success alongside Harden by just slipping screens. However, doing so doesn’t create the same space for Harden that a physical screen does. And he knows this.
“Hitting my screen hard,” Mobley said when asked how he could help Harden. “They’re going to put the best defenders on him, make sure we get [his defender] off James.” Mobley also mentioned that they want to get switches in these actions, which requires him to roll hard to the basket to do so.
There’s a learning curve that comes with playing alongside a new pick-and-roll partner, which is something the duo is still working through.
“Tendencies, that’s the main thing,” Mobley said. “When they like to throw it. How they like to throw it, how they would like to come off the screen as well. When he looks to attack, when he doesn’t. … I’ve been watching him most of my life, so I know some of his tendencies, but as you play with him, you learn more and more.”
Plugging Harden into the offense has worked incredibly well so far for the Cavs, but there are still areas that the team needs to work through. And they only have 19 games to do so. As of now, they’re confident that’s enough time for everyone to get up to speed.
“We’ve done a great job so far,” Mobley said. “All the guys fit in pretty well. We just got to keep sharpening it.”
March is a month defined by its trademark madness, but it can also be a time to bury the metaphorical hatchet.
After spending much of the past week critiquing Miami (Ohio) men's basketball and dumping cold water on its NCAA tournament aspirations, former Auburn coach Bruce Pearl made nice with RedHawks head coach Travis Steele as Steele made an appearance on TNT on Saturday, March 7, one day after Miami capped off an undefeated regular season.
Pearl, ever the charmer, broke the ice by telling Steele he felt like the fourth-year RedHawks coach was Cinderella and he was “the ugly stepmother,” drawing a laugh from Steele.
“I’ve also said teams are going to win their way in or they’re going to lose their way out, and you guys have won your way in,” Pearl said. “All you’ve got to do is go, ‘Hey, BP, scoreboard.’ You know I’ve been rooting for you. I’m proud of you.”
With a 110-108 overtime victory on Friday at Ohio, Miami improved to 31-0 and became just the sixth team since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to finish the regular season unbeaten.
While the RedHawks would earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament by winning the Mid-American Conference tournament, their potential candidacy for an at-large berth has been a subject of intense debate, particularly from Pearl, who’s in his first season as an analyst for TNT.
On Feb. 28, Pearl said Miami would have to win its conference tournament to make the cut for March Madness, noting that “as an at-large, they are not one of the best teams in the country.” Pearl’s comments drew extra attention and criticism because his son’s Auburn team is among the squads on the tournament bubble, with a 16-14 record heading into its regular-season finale against Alabama. Steven Pearl is in his first season as the Tigers’ coach after taking over for his father following his abrupt retirement last September.
"U are flat out wrong about @MiamiOH_BBall when u say we would finish last in the Big East," Sayler wrote on Twitter. "The disrespect is awful and u should not be near a TV studio covering this sport when u show your true colors! Even slipped in a 'we' when talking about Auburn, nice work!"
Though Miami made serious efforts to schedule “buy games” against teams from college basketball’s five power conferences, only to be turned down, the RedHawks have played no games this season against teams in Quad One of the NCAA’s NET rankings and their non-conference strength is schedule is rated as the fifth-easiest in Division I, according to KenPom. Their non-conference schedule included three games against non-Division I opponents.
Still, Miami is No. 21 of 365 Division I teams in strength of record and they’ve managed to go undefeated against Quad Two opponents, something that even top-10 teams like Michigan and Florida can’t say.
“We’re getting everybody’s best shot,” Steele said to Pearl. “It’s a Super Bowl everywhere we’re going. For our guys to be able to kind of withstand that, it just shows you the resiliency and the grit our team has. It’s really impressive.”
Pearl made sure to leave things on a positive note at the end of their two-minute conversation.
“Travis, you and me, it’s just business,” he said. “This is the business we’ve chosen. It’s not personal. I’m happy for you.”
The Philadelphia 76ers head to State Farm Arena tonight to take on the red-hot Atlanta Hawks, with tip-off scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET.
CJ McCollum continues to flourish with his new squad, and my 76ers vs. Hawks predictions will focus on his ability to score at will. Read more in my NBA picks for Saturday, March 7.
76ers vs Hawks prediction
76ers vs Hawks best bet: CJ McCollum Over 17.5 points (-125)
CJ McCollum has been a nice addition to the Atlanta Hawks after coming over in the Trae Young trade. He’s averaging 18.6 points per game across 23 contests with his new squad.
The veteran guard has cashed the Over in points in three consecutive appearances, and he also dropped 23 against the Philadelphia 76ers last month and had an 18-point performance versus Milwaukee earlier this week.
McCollum's also hit the Over in three of his previous five outings at home.
76ers vs Hawks same-game parlay
Dyson Daniels has been one of Atlanta’s top playmakers this season, averaging 6.1 dimes per night. The Aussie is averaging 6.5 dimes at home compared to 5.8 on the road, and Philly is considered an easier matchup for small forwards when it comes to facilitating the basketball.
Atlanta is riding a five-game winning streak and has been dominant against Philly in recent years. The Hawks have won eight straight against the Sixers, who will also be without Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe.
Alexander-Walker went 5-for-9 from deep on Wednesday, and the Hawks have covered the spread in six of their last seven games.

ROME (AP) — Italy beat England for the first time in a rugby international on Saturday.
Italy triumphed 23-18 at the Stadio Olimpico, finally knocking off the only team it hadn’t beaten since it joined the Six Nations in 2000.
In a scrappy match, the home side claimed the lead for the third and final time with eight minutes to go after a Leonardo Marin try converted by Paolo Garbisi, who was a perfect five-of-five off the kicking tee.
Italy erupted in joy at fulltime, and a little relief. Having beaten Scotland at home in round one, Italy believed it had its best ever chance to topple a deflated England.
“We felt tension before the game,” Italy captain Michele Lamaro said. “We felt this game was close. We were nervous. Our confidence built during the game. We stuck together as a wall in defense.”
Defeat was England's third in a row following a 12-match winning streak, and it could get worse. England faces title-chasing France in Paris in the final round next Saturday with the possibility of suffering four defeats in the same championship for the first time in 50 years.
There's even a very slim chance England could end up with the wooden spoon if a heavy defeat to France follows a big win by Wales over Italy. As it stands, Italy has overtaken England in the table to fourth place.
Asked why things have gone so wrong for England, captain Maro Itoje said, "We have to figure it out. If we knew we wouldn't be in this position. We have to stick together. Teams go through tough periods and we are going through a tough period now.
“We have to own the result and it is a results business. As captain, I take responsibility for that.”
Two yellow cards
England’s win-loss record against Italy was 32-0 since the 1991 Rugby World Cup in tests capped by both sides, and 26-0 in the Six Nations. England averaged 36.2 points at Stadio Olimpico.
But England contributed to its historic defeat when it received two late yellow cards while in the lead.
At 18-10, flanker Sam Underhill was sin-binned for head contact on Italy prop Danilo Fischetti. Garbisi slotted that penalty kick and another soon after off the post to cut the gap to two.
Itoje was sin-binned in the 64th for illegally slapping the ball in a maul and 13 men were playing Italy's 15.
England held out and got Underhill back. Then Italy produced the try of the match.
Garbisi kick-passed to left winger Monty Ioane near halfway. Ioane charged and offloaded to Tommaso Menoncello, who bumped off Elliot Daly and passed inside to midfield partner Marin to finish off.
Until then, England looked like hanging on after coach Steve Borthwick named a new backline amid 12 team changes, three of them positional, in the most changes by England in the Six Nations era.
England dominated the first quarter but without any punch until center Tommy Freeman scored from an Alex Coles miss-out pass.
Menoncello replied with a break and 40-meter solo try for 10-5 but England reclaimed the lead right on halftime. A counterattack was capped by Fin Smith's kick-pass to scorer Tom Roebuck that Smith converted for 12-10.
Smith added two more penalties after halftime for 18-10 with Italy down a man after hooker Giacomo Nicotera was yellow-carded for a cynical ruck foul.
But instead of taking advantage, England's discipline imploded.
“We are gutted,” Borthwick said. “For 60 minutes, we are in control and those two sin-bins hurt us. Discipline is a significant factor, it is something we have to improve.”
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics center Nikola Vucevic had surgery to stabilize his broken right ring finger on Saturday and won't be reevaluated for at least three weeks.
The Celtics said on Saturday that Vucevic will be reevaluated in 3-4 weeks.
Vucevic was acquired from the Chicago Bulls last month at the trade deadline to give the Celtics depth at big man. The 35-year-old Montenegrin averaged 10.4 points and 21.7 minutes in 12 games with Boston.
As we inch towards the final month of the regular season, the Top 10 teams look set in both conferences – but the seeding race is just heating up.
Today’s six-game slate will have a bearing on that conversation, with the Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic and Golden State Warriors among those trying to boost their playoff positioning.
My NBA picks dig into the March 7 schedule, including a wager on the in-form Brandon Podziemski.
The Atlanta Hawks have relied on CJ McCollum for steady offense since he arrived in the Trae Young trade, and he’s answered the call. He averaged 19.3 ppg in February, and he’s nailed this combo Over in his last three games.
McCollum torched the Milwaukee Bucks in midweek with 18 points and eight assists, and he’s primed for another productive outing here as Atlanta hosts a Philly squad missing Joel Embiid, Paul George and probably VJ Edgecombe too.
The veteran has scored 17+ points in seven of his past nine outings, and his numbers jump to 20.2 ppg and 3.5 apg when playing at home.
Time: 6:00 p.m. ET

Prop #2: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 25.5 points
-115 at bet365
The Milwaukee Bucks will have to consider shutting down Giannis Antetokounmpo if their losing streak continues, so tonight’s matchup with the Utah Jazz feels like a must-win.
We haven’t seen the best of Giannis yet since his return from a calf injury, but I like the Over on his points total here.
He scored 24 points in 26 minutes against Atlanta this week, making 10 of his 15 shots, and he should feast against a Jazz team that’s short in the frontcourt without Lauri Markkanen, Jusuf Nurkic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Walker Kessler.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 64% from the field this year, so look for him to live in the paint tonight.
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET

Prop #3: Brandin Podziemski Over 22.5 points + rebounds
Podziemski has scored 18+ points in four of his past six contests, while balancing a heavy minutes load, and he’s jacked up 18 shots in each of his last two games.
But it’s his rebounding that makes this such an attractive prop. He’s grabbed 7+ boards in seven straight outings, including two 15-rebound efforts, and the Golden State Warriors will need his savvy work on the glass to hold off the relentless Thunder.

The Milwaukee Bucks will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive as they host the Utah Jazz tonight.
Milwaukee has suffered four straight blowout losses, and I’m confident Utah can at least cover the spread in my Jazz vs. Bucks predictions.
Let’s take a closer look at tonight’s game in my free NBA picks for Saturday, March 7.
Jazz vs Bucks prediction
Jazz vs Bucks best bet: Jazz +10 (-105)
The Utah Jazz may be tanking, but they’ve come out to play in their last three games, covering in all three and beating the Washington Wizards on Thursday. Utah will also be at what passes for full strength right now with Keyonte George back in the lineup.
Meanwhile, theMilwaukee Bucks have lost four straight by 18+ points. Giannis Antetokounmpo is back from his calf injury, but hasn’t gotten Milwaukee any closer to winning in his first two games. I can’t see the Bucks being favored by double-digits over anyone right now, so I’m taking the Jazz to cover.
Jazz vs Bucks same-game parlay
With so many players out for the Jazz and Giannis still working his way back into the lineup for Milwaukee, I like the Under, as scoring options are somewhat limited.
One Jazz player who can put up points is George, who has scored 30+ points in each of his last two games.
Jazz vs Bucks SGP
Jazz +10
Under 234.5
Keyonte George Over 23.5 points
Our "from downtown" SGP: George's Way!
For a longshot pick tonight, I’m going out on a limb and putting a moneyline bet on the Jazz based solely on just how badly Milwaukee has been struggling lately.
I’ll also stick with the Under while looking for George to hit his PRA total, as he’s gone Over tonight’s target in four of his last six games.
Jazz vs Bucks SGP
Jazz moneyline
Under 234.5
Keyonte George Over 32.5 points + rebounds + assists

The streak continues. The Brooklyn Nets completed their two game mini series against the Miami Heat on Thursday night. The Nets put forth good effort, but it wasn’t nearly enough to get the win as Miami handed Brooklyn their tenth consecutive defeat.
The opponent tonight is sitting on top of the Eastern Conference for the first time in a long time. The Detroit Pistons have been one of the biggest stories of the NBA season as JB Bickerstaff’s club has exceeded every expectation possible. They have a beeline on the number one seed in the East come postseason time and have an outside chance of capturing best overall record. They didn’t help their cause after losing to the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night.
Where to follow the game
YES Network on TV. Gotham Sports on streaming. WFAN on radio. Tip after 6 PM.
🤕 Injuries
Egor Dëmin is out. The three two-ways and Drake Powell remain with Long Island. This is the last game for Grant Nelson under his initial 10-day contract. The Nets can renew him for another 10 days.
Ausar Thompson is out. Cade Cunningham is questionable while Jalen Duren is probable.
🏀 The game
Detroit won the first meeting in November and second in February. These teams wrap the season series up next week.
Cade Cunningham is in a bit of a slump. The star guard has shot under 50 percent from the field in each of the past three games. It happens to everyone over the course of 82 games, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Cade can make his life a bit easier by getting back to the free throw line. He’s getting to the free throw line at the highest rate of his career and remains one of the league leaders in drives to the rim. When games slow down and get choppy late, being able to get points any way possible takes on even more importance. Having a guard who can get their own shot and make something happen every time they have the ball is so valuable, and Pistons fans are lucky to have a franchise guard as good as Cunningham.
Although Michael Porter Jr isn’t competing for a championship for the first time in a good while, his habits and effort stand out. He’s got a fan in Jordi Fernandez, and the way MPJ is conducting himself is part of what makes a winning franchise once they return to contention:
“… when I see Mike so engaged, and then when he thinks about rebounding, about cutting, and playing as far as he can defensively, then shots go in. I thought he was aggressive. I was very happy with the game he played. That’s the Michael that the group needs, because he brings so much good energy and the level of play of a very, very, very good player, a top player in the NBA.”
Effort is all you can ask for, and as long as you’ve got that, you’re off to a good start.
The Pistons have a roster of bruisers, which has helped them to the best offensive rebound rate in the Eastern Conference. When your guys can consistently get second and third chance opportunities, you wear the opponent down and get easy opportunities to score. Possessions become even more valuable in a close game, and being able to create a bunch more by outworking your opponent on the boards can demoralize them.
Most concerningly for the Nets, the Pistons have a propensity to force a bunch of turnovers. Detroit is first in opponent’s turnover rate and Brooklyn has the second worst turnover rate this year. One bad stretch can turn a close game into a blowout in a hurry.
👀 Player to watch: Jalen Duren
When you enter title contention, the questions you face are different. It’s no longer a question of if you’re good, but now you have to ask how far your team can go. And that is answered in part by how good your secondary star is. We know Cunningham is going to get his shots and make plenty of noise in the playoffs. For the Pistons, Jalen Duren’s play will determine how far they can go. He made the All-Star game for the first time in his career, and it was an incredibly well deserved honor. What’s different about his game this year is he’s more involved in the offense and is stretching his game out to around 10 feet. He’s evolved to being more than an elite rim running big, and that desire to get better combined with his success makes him someone to keep an eye on.
We mentioned the new questions the Pistons face now that they’re contenders, and Duren’s ability to be a good secondary option is something on our mind. From Austen Flores of Detroit Bad Boys:
“We saw how defenses sold out to stop Cunningham in last year’s playoffs, and he’ll be an even bigger focal point this time around. If Duren can consistently punish that attention — not just as a finisher, but as someone who can initiate offense — it changes Detroit’s ceiling.
The challenge? There aren’t many bigs who can truly function as a No. 2 without any perimeter game. Whether Duren can bend that rule may end up being one of the defining questions of Detroit’s postseason run.“
It’ll be fun to see how he and the team does.
Nic Claxton will have to do his best to keep Duren off the glass. Duren is fourth in the NBA in offensive rebounding this season, and will consistently create trouble on the inside. For Claxton, a game like this will provide a great test and work as a measuring stick of sorts. As Brooklyn works to find its place in the future, knowing that you have a good center that can match up against some of the league’s best will make roster building a lot easier for Brooklyn.
📺 From the Vault
Shouts to an underrated WrestleMania classic
And I turn 36 tomorrow, so let’s vibe out a lil bit
NBA commissioner Adam Silver's quixotic quest to end tanking came to the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference this week, and the only thing we can say for sure after his talk is that there will be changes made to the NBA's lottery system this offseason.
Whether those will be "substantial changes" or "incremental" depends on what part of Silver's talk you choose to listen to. Here are a couple of his quotes from the conference, via Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic.
"We are going to make substantial changes for next year. I think where I'm on the fence — on one extreme, you could completely divorce the draft from teams' records. Just argue we could take all 30 teams regardless of the outcome, that would completely disincentivize tanking. You could win the finals, you know, and get the first pick. But then there's gradations of that."
"Not to exactly forecast where we're going, but I think I'm sort — I am an incrementalist. I think we got to be a little bit careful, you know, about how huge a change we make at once. I'm not ruling anything out, but I am paying attention to that. And then there's something significantly more than, I would say, just tinkering with the existing system."
First, nobody sane is suggesting putting all 30 teams in the lottery each year, that's a straw man argument from Silver. The most "radical" suggestions on the table are to return to the 1985 system, where every team not making the playoffs had the same lottery odds, or to eliminate the lottery and have the worst team draft first. Nobody thinks it would be good for the league if this June Oklahoma City or San Antonio got the No. 1 pick.
What Silver mentioned, what is on the table, is going to the WNBA system of using two seasons of a team's record to set the lottery odds. That would help lessen situations like the Pacers this season, a team in the Finals last June, but due to a rash of injuries starting with star Tyrese Haliburton, has the second-worst record in the league this season. Indiana is poised to add a high draft pick to a roster that, once healthy next season, will be a contender in the East. Whether this system is fair to teams that suddenly get worse because of injury or a star player leaving is the question.
One change expected this offseason is to pick protections, according to league sources speaking with NBC Sports. Most likely, teams will only be able to protect picks 1-4 or for the lottery, but eliminated in future trades will be the top-eight protections that have Utah and Washington tanking to retain their picks this year.
Silver spoke with the 30 general managers of teams recently to discuss potential changes, and there was limited agreement about solutions in that group (to put it kindly). Silver needs the owners' approval for any change, and their competing interests on this topic make incremental changes to a flawed system the most likely outcome.
The reality, something Silver admitted during All-Star weekend, is that tanking will never completely go away in the NBA because one high draft pick — landing Cade Cunningham, Anthony Edwards, Cooper Flagg, Victor Wembanyama — dramatically changes the course of a franchise, so the losses are worth the risk. This season, with an exceptionally deep draft (especially at the top), has made this season a perfect storm of tanking.
This summer, Silver and the NBA are going to try to do something about it. What that will be remains the big question.

Bristol, Connecticut native Donovan Clingan was a centerpiece of two national championship teams as a UConn Husky. He was the nation’s best backup big man in 2023 and a two-way destroyer on the 2024 title team. The 7-foot-2 center averaged 13 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game in his last college season before being picked 7th overall in the NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
After a solid rookie year (6.5 PPG, 8.0 RPG), Clingan is taking the next step in his second pro season. The 22-year-old is averaging 11.8 points and 11.5 rebounds on 52.6 percent shooting, earning himself a spot in the Blazers’ starting lineup.
Clingan’s rebounds per game put him third in the league behind stars like Karl-Anthony Towns (11.8) and Nikola Jokic (12.6). He’s doing it in just 27.4 minutes per game, while Jokic and Towns each play over 30 minutes per contest. Clingan also averages 1.5 blocks per game, putting him inside the top-10, and a solid 2.5 assists per game. He was always a solid passer with the Huskies.
Several performances this season highlight Clingan’s progress. On Jan. 3, he put up a career high 24 points along with 12 rebounds, helping the Blazers take down a Finals-contending San Antonio Spurs team. Clingan shot an efficient 3-for-5 from downtown in the win, something we never would have seen from him in a UConn jersey.
Though he showed that he can hit it, Clingan only hit two in college. He has developed a respectable three-point threat for a center since entering the league. He made 14 from beyond the arc on 28.6%. This year, he’s up to 63 threes in 187 attempts, good for 34%.
The big man had a dominant month of February, averaging 14.3 points and 13 boards per contest.
Feb. 12 saw Clingan put up 23 points and 18 rebounds against the Jazz. He followed up the stellar night with another 23 points and 13 rebounds against Phoenix. Other notable performances in February include one rebound shy of a 20-20 game against Memphis, a 16 rebound game against Minnesota, and a 13 point, 17 rebound performance against the Grizzlies.
During the All-Star break, Clingan was selected for the Rising Stars challenge. The format was tournament style, featuring rookies, sophomores, and G-League players as well, with teams coached by former NBA stars. Clingan was picked by Team Melo. He scored a team-high nine points in the first game and went to the championship game, scoring six points in a finals loss to Team Vince.
February was a momentous month off the court for Clingan as well, as he proposed to his high school sweetheart, Madeline Ross. Dan Hurley provided some simple advice for Clingan when he heard the news of the engagement.
This season has included learning moments. Just two games ago, Clingan was ejected for the first time in his career. Late in the second quarter against Memphis, the big man had the ball at the top of the key. He used his elbow to gain space and caught defender Olivier Maxence-Prosper, a former Marquette star, in the face. Officials reviewed the play and called it a flagrant 2, an automatic ejection.
The Blazers’ most recent game was a close 106-99 loss to Houston. Clingan finished the night with 18 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 7-for-11. He picked up his 25th double-double Friday night, tying him for 10th in the league in the category.
Clingan and his team are now pushing for a postseason appearance. The Trail Blazers are 30-34, holding the 10th spot in the Western Conference, 5.5 games ahead of 11th place and just 8 games out of a top-6 seed. For Clingan, meaningful basketball brings familiar territory. The former Husky built his reputation in March and is looking to do so in the NBA.
The shorthanded Golden State Warriors travel to Paycom Center to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
Oklahoma City’s elite defensive unit will stifle the Dubs, and my Warriors vs. Thunder predictions expect Chet Holmgren to lead the charge as the home team earns a comfortable win.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this primetime Western Conference showdown on Saturday, March 7.
Warriors vs Thunder prediction
Warriors vs Thunder best bet: Chet Holmgren Over 27.5 points + rebounds (-112)
Chet Holmgren has been on a tear, and with Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined, I expect him to continue his strong play against a depleted Warriors frontcourt at home.
Holmgren has averaged 27.9 points + rebounds in 24 games without Hartenstein, hitting the Over on this line 13 times.
Over his last six games, Holmgren has averaged 16.3 points and 12.2 rebounds, averaging 16 points and 18 boards in his last two home games. He’s reached the Over in four of his last five home games and delivered 28+ points + rebounds in all three matchups with the Golden State Warriors.
Warriors vs Thunder same-game parlay
The Oklahoma City Thunder are just 15-16 ATS at home, but Golden State are 13-17 ATS on the road. Golden State is missing a number of key players, while Oklahoma City still has the reigning MVP and a deep cast of talented defenders.
The Warriors have scored 103 points or fewer in 15 games this season, and five of those have come across their last 12 games. Oklahoma City held Golden State to under 103 points in two of three head-to-head matchups this season, and the NBA's top defensive rating should be able to do it again at home.
Cason Wallace is averaging 2.3 steals + blocks this season, including 2.6 at home. Across his last six at home, Wallace has averaged 3.4 steals + blocks and hit the Over on this line five times.
Warriors vs Thunder SGP
Chet Holmgren Over 27.5 points + rebounds

Golden State Warriors Under 103.5 points

Welcome to Inside the Suns, your weekly deep-down analysis of the current Phoenix Suns team. Each week the Fantable — a round table of Bright Siders — give their takes on the Suns’ latest issues and news.
Fantable Questions of the Week
Q1: Some fans are adamant in their belief that the Suns will not be able to significantly improve the team in the near future without trading away some of their better players to obtain more draft picks and/or younger players with higher potential for growth. Do you agree or disagree with this?
GuarGuar: We are very limited with our assets, so if we are gonna improve this team, it’s either through internal development or trading our current players. I’d like to see if this group can make the playoffs and do some damage first before leaning either way on what to do, but the only real moves we can make are player trades this offseason.
Diamondhacks: It’s difficult to ‘significantly improve’ and more difficult to pull it off two years in a row, irrespective of rebuilds or resets conjured from the confines of adamant fans’ basements. Many theoretical strands inform that difficulty, under an umbrella perhaps too broadly labeled “regression”.
Yes, the Suns are the ninth oldest roster (basketball reference) but also feature physically promising novices and, as this above .500 season illustrates, there are unexpected paths toward ‘significant improvement’. It’s just that once you get there, fueled largely by moxie, there are typically more paths toward everything else, regardless of anyone’s best laid plans.
Ashton: I assume that is a question on Jalen Green’s trade return value. I have already put myself on the record within previous Fantable discussions. I would support Green’s development around a solid starting five.
But, as a nod to some commentators, I would not take him off the trade table until I am actually able to see Green’s value with a starting lineup and what role he is actually expected to play. Facilitator? Driver?
Or he recently just tried to put the Suns team on his shoulders and failed miserably at it. Let’s just see what he does with starter-caliber players.
Beyond that? What? Mark Williams is in a bit of a slump, but still respect that he shows up to basically every single game. I did not expect that. And no poster would trade Brooks and his technical fouls.
Suns just need to secure MW and CG contracts.
OldAz: Dunn was a late first, Fleming was an early 2nd. I have often said that the NBA draft is a total crap shoot and a team’s commitment to developing young players has always been more important. For years, the Suns have been terrible at this, while teams like the Miami Heat have often had multiple undrafted free agents contributing to winning.
With the success of players like Colin Gillespie and Jamaree Bouyea, along with the developmental focus applied to Oso, Dunn, Fleming, and Maluach give me a lot of hope that the Suns now get this. If so, then getting more or better draft picks is less important than hitting on those picks they do have and maximizing the minimum signing made to fill out the team.
Trading established players just for picks is just not a path I am a fan of. Maybe I will be more in favor of this path once they prove to be successful (on a sustained basis) in developing that drafted talent.
Rod: As John Voita pointed out a few days ago, Brian Gregory has already done a really good job rebuilding/retooling the Suns since his arrival and I don’t expect him to suddenly lose his knack or finding hidden/overlooked treasures. While there is no guarantee that he will continue to be as successful in the future, that in itself is no reason to suddenly shift coarse and head off in a different direction.
Their success this year has largely been due to how well they’ve functioned as a team rather than relying upon any one or two players to carry the majority of the load. They’re maybe one or two pieces away from becoming an even better team and I think it makes more sense to ride this strategy out for at least another year, especially since one of those missing pieces (PF) may already be on the team (Fleming).
Q2: Dillon Brooks is expected to be out until at least March 28 and possibly even two weeks more than that. If it’s left up to him to make the decision, what’s your best guess at when he’ll return?
GuarGuar: I think he will return right before the regular season ends. I’m expecting an early April start back from him as it’s his off hand, not his shooting hand. He’s a competitor, and when he heals enough that playing isn’t a risk of reinjury, he will immediately be back. He’s too competitive.
Diamondhacks: This question has several parts, none of which capitalize on my catalog of imagined insights. I’m not an orthopedist, nor do I understand what makes Dillon tick. Perhaps someone more sold on Brooks might speak to his “return policy”?
Ashton: Oh, this is an easy question.
Brooks will enter the regular season two games before the Play-In or playoff designation for the NBA teams.
He can grab two more technicals and have it all wiped out on post season. He will use them. Unless he breaks his hand again.
OldAz: Since this question was asked before Friday’s news, but published after, I would say it will be about 2 days later than Dillon Brooks “decides”. In answer to the question, if it is solely left up to him, he will be back as soon as possible and even declare himself ready a few games early just so he can serve whatever suspension the league hands down. I believe it will probably be close to the March 28th date to give him 9 games or so to get back into game shape and ready for any playoff run. Players always want to play, regardless of the health questions. This is especially true when it comes to playoff time.
Rod: My impression of Brooks leads me to believe that he’ll be back sooner rather than later, and he’ll probably be pushing the medical staff to clear him even before March 28. There was a scene in Black Hawk Down in which the soldiers were preparing to head back into Mogadishu and one guy with a broken arm ripped off his cast before returning to the fight with his buddies. I just get that kind of vibe from Brooks and feel as though it’s going to be hard to keep off the court any longer than is absolutely necessary.
Q3: Who do you consider to be the most undervalued Suns player by the fans?
GuarGuar: This is a tough question. I’m not quite sure who we underrate in this fanbase exactly, but I’ll go with Royce O’Neale. Yes, his defense is really bad at times, and he can be a liability when the shot isn’t falling. But it’s super valuable to have a stretch forward with deep catch and shoot range, and isn’t lacking confidence. Not to mention he’s shooting a great percentage, too. He’s experienced and brings some stability to this team night in and night out, and fits really well offensively next to Booker.
Diamondhacks: Despite an alarming performance drop-off, I’d say fans’ most undervalued Sun over the entire season is still Mark Williams, whose most verifiable sin to date is miserably failing to be Hakeem Olajuwon. Instead, all this lethargic disappointment’s managed to cobble together is to lead the entire team in Win Shares, Offensive Rating, Defensive Rating, and get to the line more per FG attempt than anyone not named Booker. Oh, and he’s our best offensive rebounder and best defensive rebounder, by sheer volume and rate (TRB%), and gets more steals per minute than Brooks, Booker, or Fleming.
But to hear some, Mark needs to make way more angry faces, bark like a dog, and take three times as many bad shots – like their intrepid hero, Dillon Brooks – to be considered anywhere quite so central to our success.
Ashton: Probably the one person I have not commented on a lot is Rasheer TyLee Fleming. The fans like him, but he was in a seven-team trade involving the Wolves. That is seven teams that took a pass, except the Suns.
A second round pick out of A-10s conference, and raise your hand if you watched Saint Joseph’s, he also gained conference accolades…
You know let me just wiki it.
“He was named First Team All-Atlantic 10 after averaging 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game.”
And this is why NBA hoop heads (Word tried to auto-correct me to hop-heads. Not wrong based on game chat conversations) should pay attention to the college game and the draft picks. Even if the Suns do not have a pick in the first round, it is worth monitoring on future player trades.
OldAz: Currently, it is Mark Williams, but then again, the starting center always seems to be undervalued by this fanbase. We also tend to fall in love with the backup, and build them up in our minds to be the second coming of Kareem or Bill Russell. Everyone wants to see counting stats from the center, but that is not how modern basketball works. Because of this Fans clamor for 5 players who can put up the most individual stats, when in reality the most important thing is how the team performs.
As long as the Suns are going to play so small, they need a center like Williams to anchor the middle and allow Oso to be a main hub with the bench unit. Neither of their counting stats are going to get them in the All-NBA conversation, but their contributions to winning are vital. That’s all that matters to me.
Rod: I’m going with Royce O’Neale on this one. He’s been asked to play out of position all season long and, while it hasn’t been a roaring success, it hasn’t been a dismal failure either. Royce has had his good moments and his bad, but he’s soldiered on without a complaint. I think he’s been a good teammate and mentor to some of the younger guys too. Just the fact that Jordan Ott trusts him in the role he plays also says a lot to me. Say whatever you want about him but he’s led the Suns in total minutes played this season (1808) which isn’t bad for the team’s “old guy”.
As always, many thanks to our Fantable members for all their extra effort this week!

Suns Trivia/History
On March 8, 2020, Ricky Rubio had his second triple-double of the season (25 pts, 13 rebs & 13 asts) in possibly his best game as a Sun as Phoenix beat the Milwaukee Bucks 140-131. The Suns had four players who scored 20+ points in the game (Rubio 25, Booker 36, Mikal Bridges 21 & Aron Baynes 24) plus two more in double figures (Dario Saric 11 & Jevon Carter 12).
On March 9, 2003, three-time All-Star “Thunder Dan” Majerle was placed in the Phoenix Suns’ Ring of Honor. Majerle played 8 seasons for the Suns, 7 at the beginning of his NBA career, and the 8th was his last in the league following stints in Cleveland (1 season) and Miami (5 seasons). He averaged 13.5 pts, 4.7 rebs, 3.1 asts, and 1.4 steals per game for the Suns and hit 36.4% from three for the Suns and is 11th on the Suns’ All-Time leaders in points scored (8,034), 5th in steals (811), and 3rd in three-pointers made (800).
On March 11, 2008, Shaq cleared the Suns’ bench while going after a loose ball.
On March 12, 2020, the NBA suspended the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. The season would not resume until July in the Orlando “bubble” where the Suns would go 8-0 and just barely miss making the playoffs/play-in tournament.
On March 14, 2007, the 49-14 Suns met the 52-10 Dallas Mavericks in a match-up where both teams were fighting for the top seed in the Western conference and Steve Nash was going for his third consecutive MVP award against Dirk Nowitzki. Though the Suns won the game in double overtime, the Mavericks would finish with the West’s top seed at 67-15, and Nowitzki would narrowly win the MVP award over of Nash.

Both the Orlando Magic and the Minnesota Timberwolves are playing their fourth game this week, so there may be some fatigue at the early 3:00 p.m. ET tip.
But my Magic vs. Timberwolves predictions and these NBA picks see value in Minnesota’s depth on Saturday, March 7.
Magic vs Timberwolves prediction
Magic vs Timberwolves best bet: Ayo Dosunmu Over 11.5 points (+100)
The Minnesota Timberwolves stumbled their way into bench depth, now turning to Naz Reid, Ayo Dosunmu, and Kyle Anderson as their first three reserves, with Mike Conley and Joan Beringer adding variable pieces.
But Anderson is listed as questionable against the Orlando Magic, and the Timberwolves’ rotation may be knocked off kilter again.
If Anderson’s minutes are at all reduced, that should lean to more for Dosunmu, who has already cleared this prop in his last two games, three of his last four, and six of his 10 games with Minnesota.
Magic vs Timberwolves same-game parlay
Dosunmu has hit multiple threes in just one of his last eight games, yet he has cleared this points prop in five of those eight games.
His best impact for Minnesota is in driving to the hoop, particularly in transition. Those drives helped this exact same-game parlay cash twice in the last eight games.
Magic vs Timberwolves SGP
Ayo Dosunmu Over 11.5 points
Ayo Dosunmu Under 1.5 threes
Timberwolves -6.5
Our "from downtown" SGP: Timberwolves Set The Terms
The Timberwolves have cashed the Under in each of their last four games, their defense aided by identifying offensive wrinkles and thus slowing opponents’ transition opportunities.

The LA Clippers started the season 6-21 and looked dead in the water, but since then have played inspired basketball to get back into the play-in and with a legitimate chance to be a top-eight seed.
Then there are moments the Clippers remind you of the 6-21 team. The final 15 seconds against the Spurs on Friday were one of those moments.
Los Angeles trailed San Antonio 113-112 with 16 seconds left, and Tyronn Lue drew up a potential game-winning play. The goal was to get the ball to Kawhi Leonard, but he was at one point triple-teamed, so inbounder Nicolas Batum passes the ball to a release valve in Brook Lopez, who quickly passed it back to a shot creator in Batum, except Batum never fully stepped onto the court.
Lue slamming the scorer's table in frustration spoke for every Clippers fan.
Still, the Clippers had a chance to tie. The Clippers were down 114-112 with 6.1 seconds left and Stephon Castle was at the free throw line for the Spurs. If he makes it, the Clippers can send an intense game to overtime with a 3-pointer; if Castle misses it, the Clippers just need to secure the rebound and then have a chance to tie or win. Except Castle got his own miss for the putback.
Stephon Castle misses the clutch free throw, gets the rebound and scores- Spurs win!
Let's not take anything away from the Spurs' ability to pull out a tough win on the second night of a back-to-back, it was so emotional that Victor Wembanyama was in tears after the game.
Still, the Clippers helped the Spurs out here, and it was ugly.
It’s a mismatch in Motor City tonight, and the Detroit Pistons likely won’t need to get out of first gear against a Brooklyn Nets team that’s lost 10 in a row.
Despite back-to-back losses, Detroit is a huge favorite here, and my Nets vs. Pistons predictions point to Michael Porter Jr. as the only reason that Brooklyn may hang around at Little Caesars Arena.
Check out my free NBA picks for this March 7 matchup.
Nets vs Pistons prediction
Nets vs Pistons best bet: Michael Porter Jr. Over 21.5 points (-112)
As the Brooklyn Nets jockey for lottery balls, Michael Porter Jr. is seizing the chance to showcase his offensive arsenal. He’s averaging a career-best 24.2 PPG, and he’ll have the green light again as the Nets’ best source of buckets.
MPJ has gone past this O/U points number in five of his last eight outings, and he nailed seven triples on the way to 27 points in Miami on Thursday.
The Detroit Pistons are without Ausar Thompson, so there should be just enough cracks in the hosts’ defense — and more than enough volume — for Porter Jr. to nail this Over.
Nets vs Pistons same-game parlay
The Under is a combined 69-54 for these teams this season, and this has been a winning ticket in the Pistons’ last three contests. With the Nets averaging just 106.9 PPG, last in the NBA, and Cade Cunningham on the injury report for Detroit, brace yourself for a rock fight.
That should pump up the rebounding numbers, and Jalen Duren is averaging 12.7 RPG in his past seven outings. Brooklyn’s Nolan Traore has cashed this Over in four of his last five games.
Nets vs Pistons SGP
Under 215.5
Jalen Duren Over 10.5 rebounds
Nolan Traore Over 1.5 rebounds
Our "from downtown" SGP: "Beef Stew" brings it
The Nets have some young players in their rotation, and they’re about to be introduced to the Isaiah Stewart experience. "Beef Stew" continues to be a key cog off the bench for Detroit, and he’s coming off an 18-point effort in San Antonio on Thursday.
Stewart could see extended minutes here if the scoreline gets out of hand and the Pistons take a cautious approach with Cade and Duren.
Nets vs Pistons SGP
Isaiah Stewart Over 9.5 points
Isaiah Stewart Over 5.5 rebounds
Isaiah Stewart Over 1.5 blocks
Pistons -14.5
