The Washington Wizards slip below .500 after a 121-111 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 29, 2026. Despite a blistering 42‑point first quarter and a 50‑12 paint advantage that gave them a 10‑point lead at halftime, the Wizards were outscored 34‑16 inside the paint in the second half. Rookie AJ Dybantsa debuted with 19 points, a highlight‑reel lob dunk and his first NBA assist, while veterans Trae Young and Anthony Davis struggled to steady the team. Cleveland’s experience, highlighted by a dominant third‑quarter block from Bilal Coulibaly, ultimately seized control.
Sportsnaut outlines one likely trade target from each AL West club ahead of the 2027 season. The Astros could move 35‑year‑old first baseman Christian Walker—who’s hit 25+ homers for five straight years—if a team like the Diamondbacks, Guardians or Tigers bites. The Rangers may flip left‑hander MacKenzie Gore, whose 2026 season posted a 4.58 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, to suitors such as the Marlins, Mets or Tigers. Seattle’s durable right‑hander Logan Gilbert, a $15 million man with a 3.60 ERA over 2021‑26, might be dealt if the Mariners choose a rebuild, with the Cubs, Diamondbacks or Padres in the mix. Oakland’s catcher Shea Langeliers is also flagged as a potential mover. Each player’s contract status and recent performance fuel the speculation.
The Browns head to Pittsburgh for their Week 8 AFC North showdown, recalling the franchise's infamous 51‑0 victory over the Steelers on Sept. 10, 1989 – the fourth‑largest Week 1 margin in NFL history.

Now, after a strong start to the season and a first‑place hold in the division, Cleveland aims for a season sweep, though a win of any size would be notable given the Steelers haven’t lost in Pittsburgh since 2003. Coach Todd Monken stresses focus, while injury updates and trade rumors swirl ahead of the clash.

A late fourth‑quarter surge, highlighted by Lu Dort’s back‑to‑back threes, trims the gap to five, but Miami’s interior dominance—Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo combine for 48 points and 27 rebounds—keeps the Hawks at bay. Turnovers, poor rebounding and Miami’s 65% shooting in the first quarter seal the game. Atlanta heads home Thursday to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. ET.
