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 […]

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! It’s a TNT Thursday, and in a pleasant surprise we have eight games of NBA action instead of the 3-4 games we usually get on Thursdays. It’s almost March, which means we have a few games featuring teams not trying to win, but there are a few great matchups for […]

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 […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s time for a TNT Tuesday of NBA action. We have mostly nonconference matchups with a few division games as well. Nonconference games are always interesting because these teams don’t play each other as often, but they can be harder to handicap because there is less reason for each team […]
