NBN Fantasy Basketball: Suns Are Absolutely COOKIN', Rockets Survive Slugfest & More

The NBN fantasy season is reaching a boiling point, and folks, we're here for it. Five days of pure basketball chaos have given us nail-biters, blowouts, and enough drama to make a soap opera writer jealous. Buckle up, because we're breaking it all down.

The Game That Should've Had a Heart Attack Warning Label

Let's start with the Day 13 disaster that was Bucks 147 – 148 Rockets. ONE. POINT. I'm sorry, did the basketball gods conspire against Milwaukee here? The Bucks dropped 147 points—yes, you read that right, 147—and STILL lost. Cedric Maxwell was out there putting up 36.8 PPG like a machine, but it wasn't enough. Someone check on the Bucks' fantasy owners. Actually, don't. They need a minute.

Meanwhile, the Rockets escaped with their lives and a one-point W. That's the kind of game that builds championship character... or causes fantasy owners to rage-delete their apps. Probably both.

Suns Are Running Train

Okay, let's talk about the Phoenix Suns because they're straight-up UNSTOPPABLE right now. Days 14 and 15 gave us:

  • Suns 135 – 111 Mavericks (24-point obliteration)
  • Suns 140 – 114 Thunder (26-point demolition)

That's a combined 50-point margin of victory over two days. The Suns aren't just winning—they're making teams look like JV squads trying to guard the Dream Team. Someone get this team an ice bath and a participation trophy because they've earned it.

The Thunder and Mavericks? Yikes. Those franchises need to have a serious talk in the mirror about what they're doing with their rotational minutes.

Who's Balling Out Right Now?

The stat sheet doesn't lie, and the Top 5 scorers are putting on an absolute SHOW this season:

Guy Rodgers is out here averaging 37.6 PPG for Portland with a silky .545 FG%. The man is cooking with grease. And don't sleep on Allen Iverson—his true shooting percentage of .830 is absolutely insane. The dude is efficient AND a volume scorer? That's illegal in most leagues.

Oh, and Patrick Ewing in New Orleans is grabbing 15.9 rebounds per game while scoring 31 points. He's basically playing hero ball every single night. Elite behavior.

Winners & Losers This Week

Let's get into the power rankings, NBN style:

🏆 WINNERS

Phoenix Suns — Two dominant performances. They're the team everyone wants to avoid right now.

Houston Rockets — Escaped Milwaukee with a one-point win against a high-scoring Bucks squad. Gutsy.

Cleveland Cavaliers — Took down the Spurs 122-118. Not flashy, but a W is a W.

💀 LOSERS

Milwaukee Bucks — 147 points and still lost. The universe has a sick sense of humor.

Dallas Mavericks — Gave up 135 points to Phoenix. That's not defense, that's an invitation.

Philadelphia 76ers — Lost to the Nets by 4. The process is still... in progress.

The Assist Kings You Need to Know

Zoran Radovic is averaging 12.1 APG for Denver. TWELVE. That's not running an offense, that's conducting a symphony. And Muggsy Bogues is right behind him at 11.9 dimes per game for Vancouver. Small ball is alive and well, apparently.

Bold Prediction 🔥

The Suns win their next three games by a combined 60+ points. Write it down.creenshot it. Hold me to it. This team is clicking on all cylinders, and I don't see anyone in the league with the defensive answer for what they're doing.

Also, watch out for Nate "Tiny" Archibald—he's averaging 32.4 PPG and 9.7 APG. That's not a point guard, that's a cheat code. Sacramento might be the sleeper team nobody's talking about yet.

The season is heating up, the stats are wild, and the drama is REAL. Welcome to Nothing But Net, where nothing makes sense and we love every second of it.
