The most important variable for the Los Angeles Lakers is health, and, perhaps, Anthony Davis’ health. Thankfully for Los Angeles, the center has played 37 of the team’s 40 games, and he’s slated to suit up tonight against the Washington Wizards despite battling a calf strain. As LeBron James’ defensive intensity and finishing ability has […]

The Minnesota Vikings were largely written off before the season began after losing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency and his replacement, rookie JJ McCarthy, to a torn ACL during the preseason. Then in stepped Sam Darnold, and under the tutelage of head coach Kevin O’Connell, Minnesota won 14 games. A 27-9 drubbing in […]

Knicks vs. Nets. Manhattan vs. Brooklyn. Glitz vs. grit. It’s Rivals Week in the NBA, which means all the nationally televised games are rivalry games in one way or another. For the Subway Series, the connection is pretty obvious, although there’s not much of a battle for the soul of New York City. In 2024-25, […]

You’d be forgiven if you hadn’t heard of anybody in the Utah Jazz’s likely starting lineup for today’s 8 p.m. ET clash against the New Orleans Pelicans: Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Walker Kessler, Keyonte George, Cody Williams, and Isaiah Collier. With Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Lauri Markkanen, and Collin Sexton all sidelined, the Jazz are stretched quite […]

After three shootouts to open the 2025 season, the PGA TOUR circuit will get a little tougher this week at the Farmers Insurance Open.

UPDATE: Norman Powell (back) has been listed as questionable for tonight’s contest. Guess which team has the longest active win streak in the Western Conference? It’s not the conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, who suffered a defeat to the Dallas Mavericks last Friday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined. Instead, it’s the 24-17 LA Clippers, who have won […]
