Three years ago, almost to the day, a ragtag collection of end-of-roster Mavericks nearly torpedoed Dallas’s lottery dreams by almost winning a game no one in the front office wanted to win against these same Chicago Bulls. Theo Pinson, McKinley Wright, AJ Lawson — names that barely register now — chucked four three-pointers in the […]
The San Antonio Spurs come into Game 82 of the 2025-2026 regular season with the power to influence the final standings and potential 2nd round match-ups. Though they’re locked into the #2 seed and one side of the West bracket, their opponent tonight, the Denver Nuggets, come into tonight’s game as the 3rd seed, but […]
Martin Wanless predicts… Score prediction: Sunderland 2 Spurs 0 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Chemsdine Talbi After being able to enjoy the derby win for three weeks, it’s back to Premier League action and — to channel my inner Régis Le Bris — this is an interesting challenge. Spurs have been awful recently but another change of […]
It’d usually be a bit odd to think of making a number of changes to a team that’s just beaten their rivals 2-1 away from home, but three weeks and a number of players coming back from injury means Regis Le Bris will almost be starting from stratch with team selection today. It’ll be nice […]
Are you ready for the NFL Draft yet? Well you better be soon, because it’s just around the corner for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks!

The Portland Trail Blazers will close their 2025-26 regular season schedule on Sunday evening with a game against the Sacramento Kings.

Before we start, I want to thank everyone who has even read one of these this season. They’ve always been a fun way to talk about basketball and the Houston Rockets specifically. A huge round of appreciation for Xiane and Holly, who each grabbed a couple of previews back in January while I was abroad […]
With the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings winning their respective games today, the Winnipeg Jets needed the same result in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers if they wanted any legitimate chance at making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Jets wouldn't be eliminated from the race, but the required wins and losses to get in are at their maximums after tonight's woeful, uninspired 7-1 hammering at the hands of the Flyers. For a team that needed to be at its best to make the...
Chicago lost yet again on Saturday at the United Center, falling 5-3 to the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis struck first midway through the opening period. The Blackhawks weren’t able to get the puck out and, after some cycling, Jimmy Snuggerud got to the net to tip in Tyler Tucker’s shot. Not sure there's a more perfect tip than that. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/dS3bAXIjGI — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) April 11, 2026 The Blackhawks evened the score 1-1 about five minutes lat...

He’s off to the NBA (most likely). Illinois freshman Keaton Wagler declared for the NBA Draft on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Wagler had one of the great freshman seasons in Illinois history, with the most points in a single season by a first-year player. He also led the Illini to their first Final […]
The Edmonton Oilers had a chance to clinch a playoff berth on Saturday if they could grab at least a point in their matinee against the Los Angeles Kings. From L.A.’s side, they’re clinging to the second Wild Card spot, and with only a handful of games left, the margin for error is razor-thin. So,…
The Edmonton Oilers no longer control their fate to finish first in the Pacific Division.

Victor Wembanyama needed to play one more game to qualify for end-of-season awards. After a rib injury, many people suggested he could do 20 minutes of cardio to meet the minimum requirements.
