One of the giants of the Eastern Conference might go down. After coming back from seven points down with less than a minute to play for the second time in three games, the Indiana Pacers have a commanding 2-0 lead on the 64-win Cleveland Cavaliers with the series headed back to Indianapolis for tonight’s Game […]

I’m not too young to remember when Toronto was the city of mashers, as Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnación launched bombs deep into the bleachers at the Rodgers Centre. Unfortunately, the 6ix is no longer the home of power hitters, or of a particularly good baseball team; the Blue Jays are just 16-20 and have […]

By any measure, it hasn’t been a good season for either Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur. The Red Devils began the season with Erik Ten Hag in charge but fired him after a disappointing start to the season, and Ruben Amorim has not fared much better. Spurs, meanwhile, have not found much success in their […]

The New York Knicks had opened their series as huge underdogs against the Boston Celtics and have cut it down to […]

Today’s featured MLB slate on DraftKings is split into an earlier and a late slate, with a four-game 1 p.m. slate and a four-game 7 p.m. slate. The 7 p.m. slate has a prize pool $25,000 larger, so I’m going to be focused on that one today, although you can find the early slate here: […]

376 matches in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League have been played. Only one remains. The last two teams standing both wear blue, and they’ve never faced each other in a competitive setting before. Perhaps it’s fitting that, in a history-making 2024-25 Champions League that saw the tournament’s first-ever expansion to 36 teams, Inter Milan and […]

After a 68-win regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder find themselves in a precarious and unfamiliar position. The Denver Nuggets stole Game 1 on the road on Monday night, when Russell Westbrook ($6,600) assisted a trailing Aaron Gordon ($7,800) for a dagger three on the right wing after Chet Holmgren ($8,800) missed a pair of […]

To say that Game 1 was a bit of a disappointment for the Boston Celtics would be an understatement. Jayson Tatum scored just 23 points on four-for-15 shooting from beyond the arc, and overall, the Celtics missed 45 three-point attempts, the most by any team in playoff history. Boston once led by 20 points, survived […]

The Denver Nuggets’ chances of making their second conference finals appearance in three years hinge on the shoulders of one man: Nikola Jokić. But when that man happens to be the best basketball player in the world, anything — including upsetting the 68-win Oklahoma City Thunder — is possible. In Denver’s 121-119 win on Monday […]
