The Boston Celtics roll on. With a 120-89 victory against the Magic on Tuesday night they advance to the conference semifinals. They’ll watch the Knicks-Pistons series with great interest to see who their opponent is. Boston was led, as usual, by Jayson Tatum ($9,500, 64.5 FPTS). His emphatic 35/8/10 stat line was cold-blooded in his […]

The Detroit Pistons were on the ropes tonight. With the New York Knicks up 3-1 in the series, a sense of desperation was needed. The urgency showed in a 106-103 victory at Madison Square Garden. That means there will be a Game 6 in Detroit with the chance to force a winner-take-all contest. As usual, […]

Two outs, bottom of the ninth, 6-6 ball game. Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner steps to the plate and works a 2-0 count. He’s already 4-for-4 on the night. All it takes is one swing. Or a ball in the dirt. Bryson Stott scored the winning run as the Phillies won 7-6. It was a […]

It’s been a strange start to the season for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani. They’re still on a 100-win pace, but their performances have been erratic. The bottom of the lineup is struggling mightily. Their pitching staff can’t stop getting hurt. And Mookie Betts has yet to find his form. One thing has […]

During Tuesday’s game against the Orioles, New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited after his first at-bat. Oswald Peraza replaced him.

It’s hard to have a series as tight as this Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers showdown. Kawhi Leonard has been at the center of it. The 33-year-old forward has been in Terminator mode since returning to the lineup in January. He’s scored 20+ points in each of the four playoff contests. After a gut-wrenching […]

On Monday, the Baltimore Orioles placed second baseman Jordan Westburg on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. The 26-year-old has been off to a tough start at the plate, slashing .217/.265/.391. Now he’ll be on the shelf for at least a week. It’s not how the 2024 All-Star wanted his season to go. […]

Perhaps no player’s performance has swung this series more than Jalen Green’s. In their two losses, Green has recorded a combined 16 points on 7-of-26 shooting. In their win, he scored 38 on 13-of-25 shooting. Whether the Houston Rockets get Good Jalen or Bad Jalen may swing the game. One thing is for sure: he […]
