March Madness Expert Picks and News

The 2024-25 NBA season began with two clear favorites for the championship: the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both teams have lived up to expectations in the early weeks of the season, and their stats reflect that. The Celtics, with an impressive 10-3 record, lead the NBA in three-point attempts and makes, and have a net rating of +10.8 per 100 possessions. Meanwhile, the Thunder, with a 10-2 record, have dominated defensively, holding the highest defensive rating in the league.

Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo has already achieved impressive feats in the NBA, including 18,868 points, two MVPs, and one Finals MVP before turning 30, the "Greek Freak" continues to show he is still not on the point he wishes. It may seem surprising to many, but the reality is that Giannis is still evolving, and his recent 59-point performance in a game against the Pistons is the clearest proof of this.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns face off in a pivotal AFC North showdown on Thursday Night Football, at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Since Doc Rivers took over as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, the team has played 47 regular-season games under his direction, posting a 20-27 record. Given that he has Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo at his disposal, this record is clearly under scrutiny, especially with the Bucks starting the season with a poor 3-8 record.
