TOPDREAM VS SKY PREDICTIONS, PICKS & ODDS FOR TODAY’S WNBA GAME
Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray has been struggling with her 3-point shot recently, making only 2 of 13 attempts in her last two games, falling below her season average of 2.3 made threes per game at a 39% success rate. However, a matchup against the Chicago Sky presents a strong opportunity for Gray to bounce back. The Sky allow an average of 10 made three-pointers on 27 attempts per game and are further weakened defensively by the absence of guard Ariel Atkins, a key perimeter defender. Given Chicago's poor switching, thin backcourt, and Atkins' injury, Gray is expected to receive ample open looks during her anticipated 30+ minutes of play. This situation creates favorable conditions for her to exceed her recent performance. The article specifically recommends betting on Allisha Gray to make Over 2.5 three-pointers in the game, citing strong value at even money (+100). Additional predictions include Jordin Canada making Over 1.5 threes and the Atlanta Dream winning the game (moneyline), suggesting a three-leg same-game parlay combining these outcomes.

IU basketball’s Aleksa Ristic records double-double as Serbia beats Ukraine, 75-61
Incoming Indiana University basketball guard Aleksa Ristic delivered another strong performance during the FIBA U20 Eurobasket in Heraklion, Greece. Playing for Serbia in the round of 16 against Ukraine on Wednesday, the 6-foot-4 guard recorded 12 points and 11 assists, contributing significantly to Serbia's 75-61 victory. Ristic also registered one steal and one block during his 31 minutes on the court, though he committed four turnovers. Serbia improved its tournament record to 4-0 with the win and advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face Spain on Thursday. Offensively, Ristic shot 4-for-11 from the field, including 2-for-5 from beyond the three-point line. He was perfect from the free-throw line, making both of his attempts. Serbia outscored Ukraine by 13 points while Ristic was playing. Through four games at the tournament in Greece, Ristic is averaging 13.3 points and 7.8 assists in 30 minutes per game. He has been efficient from the foul line, making 11 of his 13 free-throw attempts. The 19-year-old Serbian is expected to join the IU basketball roster after the conclusion of the FIBA U20 Eurobasket tournament, which wraps up this Sunday.

USA beats China 122-57 in FIBA U19 World Cup as Maddyn Greenway dishes out nine assists
The USA U19 basketball team defeated China 122-57 in the FIBA U19 World Cup Round of 16, extending their undefeated tournament record to 4-0. This victory followed their 3-0 group stage performance, which included a 114-40 win over Israel. The game was relatively close after the first quarter, with the USA holding only a 10-point lead. However, the USA asserted dominance with an explosive 40-point second quarter, setting the tone for the remainder of the lopsided contest. Despite struggling with her shooting (1-5 from the field for 4 points), USA point guard Maddyn Greenway contributed significantly by dishing out a team-high nine assists during her 20 minutes of play. Sienna Betts led the USA scoring with 21 points against China. She was supported by Saniyah Hall (19 points) and Jazzy Davidson (18 points). The USA team will next face France in the Quarterfinals on Friday.

Liberty Star Sabrina Ionescu Among City's Top Athletes
SNY released its ranking of the top 10 metropolitan professional athletes, with New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu placing ninth. The list was headlined by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in the top spot. Ionescu is one of three basketball players on the list, joined by New York Knicks players Jalen Brunson (second) and Karl-Anthony Towns (fifth). SNY's analysis highlights Ionescu as a key reason the Liberty won their first-ever WNBA championship last year, ending New York City's professional basketball title drought since 1973. She is recognized as the Liberty's most recognizable star due to her regular-season performances, four All-Star selections, setting the WNBA three-point contest record (37 points) in 2023, and her competitive performance against Stephen Curry in the "Sabrina vs. Stephen" event. Since being drafted first overall in 2020, Ionescu has become the undisputed homegrown face of the Liberty franchise. She was instrumental in their championship run last fall, notably hitting a game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 3 of the Finals against the Minnesota Lynx. This season, Ionescu became the Liberty's all-time leader in three-pointers and earned her fourth All-Star selection, where she aims to defend her three-point contest title. She is averaging a career-high 18.8 points per game through her first 19 games, showing improvements in her mid-range and defensive play. Aaron Judge leads the SNY list amid a dominant season where he hit 35 home runs by the MLB All-Star break. Other baseball players on the list include Francisco Lindor (third) and Juan Soto (fourth). Ionescu's Liberty teammate Breanna Stewart received an honorable mention.

Mark Cuban makes surprising statement on Mavericks' GM Nico Harrison
The Dallas Mavericks have moved forward from the controversial Luka Dončić trade, facilitated by securing Duke standout Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall draft pick. Flagg joins Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, both recovering from injuries, bolstering the team’s core. Former majority owner Mark Cuban initially opposed trading Dončić in February 2023 after selling his stake, but has since shifted his perspective. In a SiriusXM NBA Radio interview, Cuban reflected on past unpopular decisions—notably letting Steve Nash leave without compensation—emphasizing the complexities of roster management under the NBA’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement and second-apron restrictions. Cuban praised General Manager Nico Harrison for proactively extending key players like Irving and Daniel Gafford before salary cap increases, citing Oklahoma City’s strategy of locking in contracts during a lower-cap period as a model. The Mavericks aim to secure similar deals with P.J. Washington and Dereck Lively II, positioning themselves for future financial flexibility as the cap rises 10% annually. With the healing effect of time and the addition of the top draft pick, the Mavericks now find themselves in a significantly stronger position than months prior.

Bucks President Reveals What’s Going On Behind the Scenes As Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors Swirl
Persistent trade rumors surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks, fueled by playoff disappointments, have been addressed by Bucks president Peter Feigin. During a telecast of the Bucks' NBA Summer League game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Feigin dismissed the speculation, stating that Giannis loves Milwaukee and the city reciprocates that affection, creating a stable environment. Feigin elaborated that the organization internally laughs at the rumors, viewing the situation as "business as usual" for the past decade, with Giannis enjoying his summer and the team feeling confident about the upcoming season. This update directly contradicts ongoing speculation and provides reassurance about Giannis's commitment to the Bucks. Feigin's comments align with an earlier report from ESPN's Brian Windhorst, who noted that Giannis did not apply any pressure on the Bucks' front office for a trade during the offseason. Windhorst emphasized that Giannis maintained his regular routine, including overseas activities, and highlighted the Bucks' limited assets for major moves, reinforcing that a departure was never likely. While attention focused on Giannis, the Bucks' front office actively reshaped their roster for the 2025-26 season. Key offseason actions included waiving and stretching Damian Lillard to free up salary cap space, and signing Myles Turner to a four-year contract worth $108.8 million, aimed at strengthening the team for a deeper playoff run.

Anthony Edwards Takes Shot at Denver Nuggets While Signing an Autograph
At the NBA Summer League, a young Denver Nuggets fan wearing a Jamal Murray jersey approached Minnesota Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards, who was sitting courtside to watch his team. Someone informed Edwards that the fan was a Nuggets supporter, which was presented as a caution against being overly friendly, likely in jest. Edwards responded quickly and lightheartedly, stating, "It's all good," and adding, "I be busting their a--." This exchange was captured in a clip and shared on social media, sparking discussion. The clip invites two possible reactions: dismissing it as a trivial Summer League moment or questioning whether Edwards should make such a boastful claim. To evaluate his statement, evidence from recent NBA seasons is considered. Historically, the Timberwolves swept the season series against the Nuggets last year, and the year before, they defeated Denver in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. However, in the prior season, the Nuggets beat Minnesota in the postseason and went on to win the championship, which remains the only title for either franchise. The author argues that the championship title holds greater significance than regular-season wins, especially since Edwards has not yet reached an NBA Finals despite being discussed as a face of the league. This positions the incident as an ideal mid-July debate topic for basketball fans.

The campers will receive coaching from current and former WNBA and FIBA players and coaches, including Georgia Amoore (Washington Mystics), Tonya Edwards, Kelly Faris, and Andrea Gardner-Williams. Allison Feaster, a 2004 WNBA All-Star and current Boston Celtics executive, will serve as camp director. Activities will include movement efficiency drills, offensive and defensive skill stations, three-point contests, 5-on-5 games, and life-skills/leadership sessions.

Ja Morant Gets Honest on Jaren Jackson Jr. Contract Decision
The Memphis Grizzlies made significant moves during the 2024-25 NBA free agency. They unexpectedly traded star guard Desmond Bane and added multiple key pieces. Crucially, they renegotiated the contract of All-Star forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. and signed him to a multi-year contract extension, though the specific terms were not disclosed by the team. Jackson Jr.'s teammate, superstar guard Ja Morant, expressed strong support for the extension while attending Summer League. Morant stated Jackson Jr. "deserves it," calling him "the heart of Memphis" and "the heart of this team." Morant admitted he thought the deal would have been larger, citing his lack of understanding of salary cap rules. Morant also emphasized his personal focus on being healthy for the upcoming season and winning more games, declaring he is already working hard ("in the lab"). The article suggests the Grizzlies will be a significantly different team next season. With the previous "big three" of Morant, Jackson Jr., and Bane now broken up, the team will need to rely more heavily on players like Zach Edey and GG Jackson. While the team showed potential last season, starting as a top-four seed, they ultimately finished eighth and were swept in the first round of the playoffs. It remains uncertain if these changes will make them a better team overall.

Flashback: Diana Taurasi Wins NCAA Championship, Phoenix Struggles
Diana Taurasi is recognized as one of the WNBA's biggest stars, significantly impacting the league's direction. She spent her entire professional career with the Phoenix Mercury after being drafted by them in 2004, achieving numerous accomplishments including championships and record-breaking performances. Her legendary status with the Mercury is cemented, and her jersey retirement is anticipated. Taurasi's journey began during her highly successful college career at UConn. In the 2003-04 season, she led the Huskies to a 31-4 record, starting with a nine-game win streak before suffering losses to Duke and Notre Dame. UConn cruised through the NCAA tournament, defeating teams like Auburn, Penn State, and Minnesota, ultimately winning the championship by beating Tennessee in a rematch of the previous year's final. During that championship 2003-04 season, Taurasi averaged 16.2 points, 4.9 assists, and 1.5 steals, earning her second Most Outstanding Player award. The previous season (2002-03), where UConn lost only one game, she averaged 17.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks, winning her first Most Outstanding Player award after beating Tennessee in the final. Taurasi's college success translated to the WNBA. Although it took a few seasons for the Mercury to reach the playoffs after drafting her, they won a championship early in her career. She led the team through many successful seasons thereafter. Now that her playing days are over, the Mercury organization aims to carry on her winning tradition with their current talented roster, which is performing at a high level and has the potential to win another championship.

Update: It turns out Lakers DID tell LeBron they were selling the team
An update clarifies that LeBron James was notified about the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers before the public announcement, correcting the original report. The original story examined the relationship between LeBron James and the Lakers. While evidence points to a positive relationship, including James opting into his contract for the 2025-26 season after seven years and a championship with the team, his agent Rich Paul made confusing comments about James prioritizing winning now over the future. This sparked speculation about a potential future trade request, which Paul explicitly denied. From the Lakers' perspective, they are not pursuing a dual timeline strategy like Golden State. However, the age difference between the 26-year-old Luka Dončić and the 40-year-old James suggests the franchise views Dončić as its long-term cornerstone. The report highlighted an example of this potential shift in priorities: ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that when the Buss family agreed to sell a majority stake in the Lakers on June 18th, Dončić was given advance notice and publicly congratulated the new ownership, while James reportedly found out when the public did and made no public acknowledgement. LeBron James has not yet commented on the matter. The story suggested that if accurate, not informing James about the sale beforehand could indicate he is no longer as central to the Lakers' inner circle as he once was, and that failing to extend him the same courtesy given to Dončić seemed like a petty action.

‘We’re not skipping steps’: Beard on Johnson’s recovery, Case’s Ole Miss legacy
Long-time Ole Miss basketball staffer Win Case departed the program in the off-season to become the associate head coach at Southern Miss under Jay Ladner. Case had been with Ole Miss since 2018, serving as the lead assistant under former head coach Kermit Davis and acting as interim head coach for the final five games of the 2023 season after Davis's dismissal. Under current head coach Chris Beard, Case held an off-court role as a special assistant. Beard praised Case's "great" work at Ole Miss, expressing happiness for his opportunity to return to full-time on-court coaching at Southern Miss while acknowledging Case's significant contributions to the program. Meanwhile, Louisville transfer guard Koren Johnson is currently recovering from a labrum injury that limited him to just two games last season. Four weeks into Ole Miss's summer program, Johnson is working separately with trainers, estimated at around 80% health by both himself and Coach Beard. Beard emphasized a cautious rehab approach, stating Johnson's return is a matter of "when," not "if," and noting Johnson's positive progress, including weight loss and strength gains. Johnson is expected to be cleared for full contact in August and fully healthy by the season opener in November. Beard expressed strong optimism about Johnson's potential fit and impact. He described Johnson as a competitive combo guard with a point-guard mentality, capable of driving and passing, understanding ball movement, and scoring. Beard highlighted Johnson's untapped competitive drive and potential to become a "great defensive player" who takes being scored on personally. He sees significant upside if Johnson can reach his best form within the team system, embracing values like discipline and unselfishness. Johnson stated he was drawn to Ole Miss by Beard's plan to utilize him similarly to former standout guard Sean Pedulla.

Heat’s Ware goes from Spoelstra criticism to breakout performance in summer-league loss
Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware delivered a standout performance in a 92-72 Las Vegas NBA Summer League loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Responding directly to coach Erik Spoelstra questioning his intensity and professionalism the day before, Ware scored 11 of the Heat's first 15 points, featuring dunks and a three-pointer. He maintained his high level of play, finishing the game with 21 points, nine rebounds, and three blocked shots, with his most inspired play occurring in the first half. Heat assistant coach Eric Glass, leading the summer roster, praised Ware's effort, stating, "That’s what we’ve been waiting for from him." Glass emphasized that Ware's focus and intensity allowed the rest of his game to flourish and expressed a desire to see him replicate the performance. Ware attributed his success to simply putting in the effort and playing hard, as Spoelstra had emphasized. This marked a significant improvement for Ware, who had previously underperformed in his first three summer league games. His effort against the Cavaliers mirrored the play that earned him a starting role late last season. Despite Ware's strong individual showing, the Heat's summer roster lost its second consecutive game (0-2), resulting in elimination from defending the Las Vegas Summer League championship they won last year.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant breaks silence with NSFW response to Desmond Bane trade
Ja Morant expressed disbelief upon learning about the Memphis Grizzlies trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, stating to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, "I thought the s— was fake, honestly." He received the news directly from Bane. Morant acknowledged the trade signifies a step back for the Grizzlies' contention hopes, despite receiving future first-round draft picks in return. He framed the move as "best for both sides," believing Bane is "the piece" the talented Orlando Magic, featuring Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, have been missing to contend near the top of the Eastern Conference. While wishing Bane well in Orlando, Morant faces the reality of moving forward without his backcourt partner on a diminished Grizzlies team. His new challenge will be trying to lead Memphis to a playoff spot in the highly competitive Western Conference, which he views as a difficult situation.

Kang LeeSeul drives Korea’s ambition for redemption
Kang LeeSeul played a pivotal role in South Korea's 78-76 victory over New Zealand during Day 2 of the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup 2025, marking her fifth appearance in the tournament. Before exiting late in the third quarter, she contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and six three-pointers, setting the tone for a hard-fought win that avenged Korea's narrow loss to New Zealand in 2023. This victory reignited Korea's hopes of returning to the top four and restored team pride. Kang expressed strong personal motivation for this game, driven by the 2023 defeat where New Zealand, for the first time in tournament history, prevented Korea from reaching the semi-finals. She reflected on the sting of that loss, stating, "They defeated us in the last tournament. Because of them, we fell outside of the top four teams," and emphasized her excitement about her new role as team captain, her first in her Asia Cup career since debuting in 2017. Reflecting on the 2023 shortcomings, Kang acknowledged, "In the last tournament, we did not really play well," and stressed the team's goal to achieve better results this year. Despite the lingering disappointment fueling their drive, she highlighted the need for consistent execution against all opponents, sharing, "Regardless of our opponents, we have to execute our plan and do what we practiced. We have to be confident throughout the tournament to reach the top four or higher." Kang's resilience, leadership, and clutch performance—including her shooting, defensive intensity, and composure under pressure—are crucial as Korea seeks redemption from the 2023 setback. Her ability to blend veteran experience with youthful energy anchors the squad, which now faces a competitive field including powerhouses like China, Japan, and Australia in their pursuit of renewed glory.

Bailey Flavell: from family legacy to Women’s Asia Cup debut
Bailey Flavell, the 18-year-old daughter of New Zealand basketball legend Judd Flavell, is making her debut with the senior Tall Ferns at the FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2025. As the second-youngest player on the roster, her entry follows a natural progression given her deep family roots in the sport; her father was a key player for the Tall Blacks, reaching the 2022 FIBA World Cup semi-finals. Flavell has steadily progressed through New Zealand's youth ranks, competing at U15 to U17 levels from 2022 to 2024. She recently gained senior experience at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Pre-Qualifying Tournament in Mexico, averaging 5.5 points per game. The Asia Cup represents a new challenge and opportunity to prove herself against Asia's best teams. Expressing gratitude for her selection, Flavell highlighted the supportive team environment and the guidance from experienced leaders like Esra McGoldrick and Tahlia Tupaea. She credits these veterans for their on and off-court knowledge and advice, which she actively incorporates to aid her development. Her basketball foundation stems from her family, where everyone played. Her father, Judd Flavell (now head coach of the Tall Blacks), concluded his playing career around her birth and began coaching, providing significant coaching and advice throughout her journey. While acknowledging this head start, Bailey is dedicated to forging her own path. On the court, Flavell aims to bring maximum effort on both offense and defense. She specifically focuses on disrupting opponents defensively and maintaining high energy levels consistently. With her blend of family legacy, youthful promise, and hard work, she is positioned as a rising star for New Zealand as the Tall Ferns compete in the tournament.

New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu has confirmed her participation in the 2025 WNBA 3-Point Contest, scheduled for All-Star Weekend on Friday. She revealed this news to The New York Post. Ionescu initially sparked speculation about her involvement through a subtle Instagram post. The post featured a photo of her with Stephen Curry from last year's NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest, captioned only with several eyebrow-raising emojis. This marks Ionescu's second appearance in the WNBA 3-Point Contest. Her last participation was in 2023, where she delivered a record-breaking performance by scoring 37 points in the final round – the highest single-round score in both WNBA and NBA history. In 2024, Ionescu competed directly against Stephen Curry at the NBA 3-Point Contest, narrowly losing 29-26 to the Golden State Warriors star. Currently in her sixth WNBA season, Ionescu is averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.6 steals. While her three-point shooting percentage this season (32.4%) is a career low, she holds a career three-point percentage of 35.9%. So far, Ionescu and Washington Mystics rookie Sonia Citron are the only confirmed participants for this year's WNBA 3-Point Contest, which is set to take place in Indiana.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin continues to impress in Cavs’ 92-83 win over Bucks
The Cleveland Cavaliers secured their first win of the 2025 NBA Summer League, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 92-83 after building and maintaining a significant lead. Nae'Qwan Tomlin continued his excellent performance, scoring 21 points on high efficiency. Across two Summer League games, he has made 21 of 28 shots and dominated at the rim. Currently on a two-way contract, his strong play suggests a potential conversion to a standard deal soon. His ball-handling skills for a 6'10" forward make him a dynamic scorer, and he relentlessly pressured the defense. He also contributed significantly on the boards with 13 rebounds (8 defensive). Jaylon Tyson, filling in at point guard, had a less effective game compared to his previous outing where he recorded 12 assists. Against the Bucks, he managed only 3 assists and shot poorly from the floor (3-13). However, he remained impactful by aggressively drawing fouls, making 9 of 10 free throws to finish with 18 points. Tyrese Proctor performed slightly better in the point guard role, dishing out 4 assists with only 1 turnover. While still struggling in one-on-one situations, he showed improvement attacking closeouts and navigating dribble-hand-offs. He contributed 12 points, including making 3 of 8 three-point attempts.

Sources: Mavs shutting down Flagg for summer
The Dallas Mavericks have decided to end Cooper Flagg's participation in the NBA summer league for the remainder of the Las Vegas session after just two games, as confirmed by sources to ESPN's Tim MacMahon. This decision follows Flagg's performance on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, where the No. 1 draft pick scored 31 points while shooting 10-for-21 from the floor. This marked a significant improvement over his summer league debut against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, where he managed only 10 points on 5-of-21 shooting. After the Mavericks' 76-69 loss to the Spurs, Flagg commented on adjusting to the new environment, stating the team wanted him to be aggressive. He felt he achieved that better in the second game by drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line, which helped him settle in, though he noted he missed several free throws. Mavericks summer league coach Josh Broghamer praised Flagg, saying he "just continues to make the right plays" and specifically highlighted the 6-foot-9 rookie's work "off the ball" during Saturday's game. The Mavericks' choice to shut down Flagg was initially reported on Sunday by veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein.
