Jayson Tatum, star of the title-favorite Celtics, has the best odds to win Finals MVP heading into the conference finals.
Boston is well ahead of its contemporaries in the betting markets and the same goes for Tatum, who has better odds than Nikola Jokić, LeBron James and Jimmy Butler, the leaders of the other three teams that are still standing. Of the players available to wager on, only James has ever won the award before.
Tatum entered the NBA Finals last season with the second-best odds to win Finals MVP behind Stephen Curry, who ultimately won the award.

The calendar has moved past the 2023 NFL draft, so now we’re at the point in the offseason where we go from NFL mock drafts to “fantasy” mocks. With most of the free agents signed, the rookies drafted and more news coming out about the status of players returning from injuries, mock drafts will be much closer in terms of their potential accuracy of player values and projected draft positions.
After a few pre-NFL draft, five-round mocks, here’s my first one-man, 10-round mock for 2023.
Back in the 90s, ESPN and the NHL had a terrific relationship. Just hearing the theme song puts me in a good mood. But the league left the network after the 2004 season and began bouncing around before returning to ESPN in 2021.
The network promised to deliver the hockey content that it did back in the 1990s and early 2000s. It said it wanted to help “grow the game.”
But two years in and ESPN doesn’t seem overly interested in promoting hockey nearly as much as other properties.
In fact, the NHL and fans got extremely upset when Stephen A.
The final four teams standings in the NBA playoffs might evoke some deja vu from the bubble.
In 2020, the Celtics, Nuggets, Lakers and Heat all advanced to the conference finals and those are the four teams who are back in the penultimate postseason round fighting for a spot in the NBA Finals. More recently, Boston and Miami met in the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago where the former prevailed in an epic, seven-game series.
The Celtics, who lost the 2022 Finals in six games to the Warriors, are heavy favorites (+110) to capture their first title since 2008.
The rich get richer, should be the theme for Georgia football. On Monday, five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola committed to the Bulldogs, setting them up for a bright future at the position.
What turned out to be a pretty wild recruitment ended on Monday, as Raiola made his final decision. After throwing at a Georgia football camp in 2021, Kirby Smart extended an offer to the talented quarterback. Now, three years later and holding off plenty of other schools, Kirby has landed his future gunslinger.
BATON ROUGE, La. – Tennessee was the No. 1 college baseball team in the country for 12 consecutive weeks a year ago after its first top ranking in history.
The Volunteers dominated the Southeastern Conference regular season with six, three-game sweeps and won 10 of 11 league series. But UT was upset by No. 6 Notre Dame in the best-of-three Super Regional.
And Tennessee’s season was over at 57-9. At least, Notre Dame was a good team, though.
Tigers Falling To Lower Division Teams
LSU was No.
Dylan Raiola, the top quarterback prospect in the class of 2024, announced on social media that he will attend the University of Georgia. Raiola is the son of former offensive lineman Dominic Raiola, who played in the NFL for 14 years, all with the Lions.
Before committing to Georgia, Raiola also considered Nebraska and USC, among a variety of visits. He also at one point committed to Ohio State, but he de-committed in December and reopened his recruitment.

Here are the outside-the-box tactics to watch in the Lakers vs. Nuggets Western Conference Finals.
They say that a playoff series doesn’t begin until the first adjustment is made.
The postseason is like a giant game of chess, with tactical strategies being levied both ways throughout the course of a best-of-seven war. The final four teams standing all have a good amount of versatility on offense and defense; they can win a game in a variety of ways.
