Andrew Anderson+FollowJokić hits another triple-double as Nuggets roll over the HeatNikola Jokić dropped a monster line — 33 pts, 16 ast, 15 reb — leading the Denver Nuggets to a 122-112 home win vs the Heat, keeping their perfect home streak alive. This was his 169th career triple-double, a reminder that his all-time accumulation is still climbing. Are we witnessing one of the greatest big-men statistical machines in NBA history? #NBA #Denver #Nuggets #NikolaJokic #TripleDouble #NBAStats 310Share
Christopher Brown+FollowKawhi Leonard drops a career-high 55 and leads Clippers past the East’s No. 1 teamKawhi Leonard just put on one of the best scoring performances of the season — 55 points, plus 11 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks, to power the Clippers’ 112–99 win over the Eastern Conference’s top-seed Pistons in Inglewood. His offensive explosion buried Detroit’s defense, and the Clippers have now won four straight games behind the effort. Kawhi was efficient too — 17 of 26 from the floor and 16 of 17 free throws — and the victory gave LA some serious momentum as they play their way into the playoff picture. What do you think — is this one of Kawhi’s most impressive single-game performances this decade, or what? #NBA #Clippers #KawhiLeonard #NBAStats #BasketballDiscussion #Pistons #NBAHighlights 30Share
David Howard+FollowLeBron leads active players in Christmas Day points, followed by KD, Russ and HardenStatMuse dropped the active-player Christmas Day scoring list: LeBron James — 507 Kevin Durant — 342 Russell Westbrook — 288 James Harden — 273 With Lakers vs Suns on Christmas, it’s worth remembering how dominant this matchup has been historically.

Pamela Owens+FollowRockets just dropped 3 games to the West’s bottom seeds in one bizarre weekHouston’s had one of the strangest “good team” weeks you’ll see: they lost to the Pelicans (ranking 14th), beat the Nuggets (115–105), then lost to the Kings (ranking bottom) and got handled by the Clippers (ranking 13th). What makes it even weirder is the pattern isn’t just one bad night. They also took December losses to the Jazz and Mavericks—teams sitting in the West’s lower tier for stretches. So what is going on with the Rockets? #NBA #Rockets #HoustonRockets #NBAStats #NBADiscussion #WesternConference 10Share
Edwin French+FollowRudy Gobert has been DPOY level this seasonThe Wolves started shaky, but they’ve climbed back to top-5 in the west — and the constant is still Rudy Gobert anchoring everything on defense. Per Cleaning the Glass on/off + shot-profile tracking, Gobert’s impact this year has been absurd: the defense improves by roughly 14 points per 100 with him on the floor, opponents take way fewer rim attempts when he’s out there, their efficiency drops, and he’s even suppressing free throws — plus his rebounding has ramped up in December. He’s 33, still vacuuming boards, still erasing the paint, still making Minnesota’s entire scheme viable — all while the DPOY conversation about him feels weirdly quiet. Are people just tired of giving him credit? #NBA #Timberwolves #RudyGobert #DPOY #Defense #NBAStats #BasketballTalk 10Share
Shawn Martin+FollowKawhi Leonard is quietly at 97.9% FT this seasonKawhi is currently shooting 97.9% from the line this season — which would rank 2nd all-time for a single season (if he keeps it till the end of the season). The only season above it is José Calderón’s 98.1% in 2008–09, but that came on much lower volume at 2.3 FTA per game. Kawhi’s doing this on about 5.1 FTA per game, so you could argue the degree of difficulty is way higher. #NBA #Clippers #KawhiLeonard #NBATrivia #NBAStats #FreeThrows #BasketballHistory #JoseCalderon 10Share
Stephen Green+FollowSGA hits 100 straight 20-point games — he's now No. 2 all-time behind WiltShai Gilgeous-Alexander reached 100 consecutive regular-season games with 20+ points, which is now the second-longest streak in NBA history — only Wilt Chamberlain’s 126 is ahead. The wild part, is it doesn’t even feel like he’s forcing it — it looks just his nightly baseline in every game he played. Do you think he has a real shot surpassing Wilt on that list? #NBA #Thunder #SGA #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #OKC #NBAStats #WiltChamberlain 10Share
Shawn Martin+FollowHawks' Dyson Daniels is at 9% from three in DecemberPer ESPN splits, Dyson Daniels is shooting 9% from three in this month. Zoom out: over his last 15 games, he’s at 10.5% from deep and 60.6% at the line. And you can see it on film: opponents are comfortable putting bigs on him and letting them roam off-ball, because they’re not worried about the pull-up or the catch-and-shoot. That messes with spacing, shrinks driving lanes, and makes Atlanta’s half-court offense easier to load up against good teams. The timing is rough, too, because the Hawks just committed long-term: Daniels agreed to a four-year, $100M extension this offseason. What do you think: is this just who he is offensively—elite defender, but a spacing problem in big games? #NBA #Hawks #DysonDaniels #NBADiscussion #Basketball #NBAStats10Share
Richard Thomas+FollowThe NBA Cup “Runner-Up Curse” Might Actually Be a Finals BlessingSo far, the NBA Cup runner-up has turned into a Finals team within two seasons. 2023 NBA Cup: Lakers beat Pacers → Pacers make the Finals in 2025 2024 NBA Cup: Bucks beat Thunder → Thunder make the Finals in 2025 2025 NBA Cup: Knicks beat Spurs → Spurs Finals in 2026 or 2027? It’s probably coincidence, but it also kind of makes sense: if you’re good enough to reach the NBA Cup Final, you’re usually a “one leap away” team. You’ve already proven you can win high-stakes games, and you have a clear blueprint for what you’re missing. Are you betting on Wemby making the Finals in the next two years? #NBA #NBACup #Spurs #Knicks #Wembanyama #NBAStats #NBADiscussion 20Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowJosh Giddey joins Michael Jordan in historic Bulls clubGiddey recorded back-to-back triple-doubles for the Chicago Bulls, becoming the first Bull since Michael Jordan (1988-89) to do it. His latest came in a gritty comeback win vs the Philadelphia 76ers (29 PTS, 15 REB, 12 AST), dragging his team from 24-points down.
