Why the Magic can cover
On Monday, the Magic were able to grind out an impressive victory over the Lakers, taking the game 118-106.

Paolo Banchero also had a strong showing in the win, recording 30 points and seven rebounds. Banchero is knocking down 44.9% of his field goals while averaging 25.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. Orlando is also disruptive on the defensive end of the floor.

Why the Hornets can cover
The Hornets were victorious in their last game at home, securing a 115-98 win over the New York Knicks.

For the season, Ball is averaging 25.2 points, 7.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.

He’s connecting on 43.8% of his field goals and 32.5% of his 3-point attempts.

Com contas reprovadas, Corinthians volta a discutir sobre o impeachment do presidente Augusto Melo
Augusto Melo, presidente do Corinthians (Foto: Reprodução) As contas do Corinthians em 2024 foram reprovadas no começo desta semana pelo Conselho Deliberativo do clube, em reunião. O balanço, referente ao primeiro ano do mandato do presidente Augusto Melo, pode fazer voltar as movimentações para que o dirigente seja alvo de impeachment. De acordo com o Uol Esporte, com o veto ao balanço do último ano, já haverá de forma automática a entrada de um processo de impedimento (que, no caso de Melo, seria o terceiro) do atual mandatário corintiano. Tal pedido deverá conter assinaturas de, pelo menos, 51 conselheiros ativos do Timão e terá de ser remetido ao presidente do órgão, Romeu Tuma Júnior, que encaminhará o parecer para a Comissão de Ética e Disciplina.

Ancelotti volta atrás e recusa oferta da CBF para assumir a seleção; diz imprensa espanhola
Uma reviravolta na novela em torno do novo treinador da seleção brasileira. É o que apontam os jornais espanhóis nesta terça-feira. De acordo com os diários Marca e AS, Carlo Ancelotti voltou atrás e recusou a oferta da CBF. O motivo seria o surgimento de uma proposta para trabalhar na Arábia Saudita.
