No better way to treat your Super Bowl hangover than with the 10 — count ‘em, 10! — NBA games that were on Monday’s docket. Let’s dig into each, starting with the battle of New York.

Knicks take first matchup with new-look Nets, 124-106
I have a feeling Knicks fans are gonna like this Josh Hart guy.

Still in disbelief days after defeating Josh Emmett at UFC 284, the new Mexican titleholder is far from finished.

Yair Rodriguez has fought for the UFC since 2014. Often overlooked in the featherweight division during the course of his first 12 fights—nine of which were wins—he was not going to let his title shot slip away.
And he didn’t. Even if he hardly remembers it.

The former Colts and Lions coach reunites with Frank Reich.
The Panthers will have not one, but two former Colts head coaches steering the ship during the 2023 NFL season. After hiring Frank Reich as the team’s new head coach, Carolina added Jim Caldwell, who led the Colts (’09 to ’11) and Lions (’14 to ’17) to two playoff appearances each, as a senior assistant.
Carolina announced the move on Tuesday morning. He had interviewed for the head coaching job during the Panthers’ search, and now joins Reich’s staff.

Analyzing the betting numbers that defined the past NFL season.
After crowning the Chiefs as Super Bowl champions for the second time in the last four seasons following their triumph over the Eagles, it is time to take a look back at the NFL season from a betting perspective.
Home field was everything it was meant to be in 2022 as home teams went 160-122-2 straight-up (SU) (56.3%).
Meanwhile, grabbing the points was the lucrative way to invest as underdogs finished with a moneyline victory by Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII.

With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving now out of Brooklyn, there’s even more of a spotlight on Ben Simmons, which isn’t exactly a good thing.
Simmons came off the bench against the New York Knicks on Monday night and put on quite the performance. He played just 13 minutes, but they were an eventful 13 minutes, to put it lightly.
The 26-year-old scored just two points while attempting just two shots on the night and it was his lack of a field goal attempt in the first quarter that has the entire NBA world talking.

Prior to taking the Southampton job, Jesse Marsch was perhaps the favorite to replace 2022 USMNT World Cup coach Gregg Berhalter.

Hoping to find a franchise QB of their own, the Colts hired Shane Steichen, who has helped to develop Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert.

Arne Espeel was 25.

The early move for Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC has suddenly put a new spotlight on the conference and its decisions for the future. Moves that some thought would still be two years away are now being expedited, including how the conference handles its football scheduling.
Even though the SEC has been preparing for the arrival of Oklahoma and Texas over the past two years, it’s still going to take time to get accustomed to new scheduling. I’m not talking about the teams though, I am thinking of the fans.

Phoenix got Kevin Durant, but it can’t stop there in its championship-or-bust approach. Kyrie Irving holds the leverage in Dallas while Brooklyn and Toronto look ahead.
