Why the Bucks can cover
The shorthanded Bucks have been without forward Bobby Portis (suspension) for 21 games and point guard Damian Lillard (blood clot in calf) since March 18. Trying to pick up the scoring slack has been veteran power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. The 30-year-old has scored 30 or more points in each of the last four games, including 31 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the loss to the Hawks. In 61 starts on the year, he is averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 blocks in 33.9 minutes.
Also helping fuel the Milwaukee offense is small forward Kyle Kuzma. He is coming off a 25-point and six-rebound performance in the loss to Atlanta. Since being acquired from the Washington Wizards in a February trade, he is averaging 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 33.5 minutes. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Suns can cover
Shooting guard Devin Booker is coming off a dominant scoring performance against Houston, pouring in 28 points, while adding three assists and three rebounds. He has registered three double-doubles over the past five games. In a 108-106 win over the Bucks on March 24, he scored 19 points, while dishing out 12 assists and grabbing seven rebounds. In 69 starts this season, he is averaging 25.3 points, seven assists and 4.1 rebounds in 37.3 minutes.
With shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) questionable, veteran point guard Tyus Jones will look to fill some of the scoring void. In a 123-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 21, he scored 16 points, while adding three assists and three rebounds. He had eight points, three assists and three rebounds against Milwaukee in the first meeting. In 74 games, including 57 starts, he is averaging 10.3 points, 5.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 27.5 minutes. See which team to back at SportsLine.

He will be challenged by a strong field that includes two horses trained by Bob Baffert, as the legendary trainer returns to Churchill Downs for the first time since 2021 when Medina Spirit was stripped of the Derby crown after testing positive for an anti-inflammatory in post-race screening, resulting in Baffert receiving a three-year ban from the track.

PSG’s star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia making case as most impactful January signing in soccer history
Getty Images The common refrain around the reconstituted Paris Saint-Germain of this season is that this is a club light on superstar attacking talent. If Ousmane Dembele's continued presence already brought questions over such an assessment, the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia belies that cozy narrative. The Georgian may lack the name recognition of past marquee additions, but in pure quality terms, he is eminently worthy of following in the Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe lineage.He may prove to have been even more significant than those players, certainly that will be the case if he brings them their much-coveted Champions League trophy. That seems eminently plausible after Tuesday's 1-0 win at Arsenal, and if PSG do finally achieve their raison d'être, there will be a compelling case to be made for Kvaratskhelia being the most immediately impactful January signing in […]
Caitlin Clark says ‘really, really hungry’ Fever have championship expectations after busy offseason
During the Indiana Fever's media day on Wednesday, 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark did not mince words when asked about the team's expectations this season. Boasting a new coach and revamped roster, the Fever only have one goal in mind. "Yeah, absolutely," Clark said, when asked if the team has been "explicit" about wanting to win a title in 2025. When a reporter followed up, asking what success would look like this season, Clark doubled down: "a championship." Clark's arrival last season put the Fever back on the map. After years of bizarre draft decisions and frequent last-place finishes, they went 20-20, made the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and were transformed into one of the most well-known franchises in all of sports, let alone the WNBA. Instead of slow-playing their rebuild, the organization went all-in this […]

USATSI The 2025 NFL Draft is over. The 2025 Fantasy Football prep season has begun! And it's not stopping until September, so take a deep breath, lock out any negative thoughts, picture yourself with your league's trophy/title belt/shiny whatever and let's focus on what's seriously important: Your make-believe football team. My colleagues and I have revealed our initial 2025 Fantasy Football rankings, both in full PPR and non-PPR. It's our first attempt to give you a blueprint of where we'd draft the players you know -- and some you don't.

More detailed drill-downs into specific positions, teams, and players will definitely follow. This is just an overview, a 30,000-foot view, […]

Julen Lopetegui close to joining Qatar as new head coach
Julen Lopetegui is close to becoming the Qatar national team’s new head coach.A two-year deal in principle has been tabled, with sources close to Lopetegui, speaking on the condition of anonymity, describing the project as “ambitious”.The 58-year-old was sacked as West Ham United head coach in January after just six months in charge.AdvertisementHis 22 matches in the role — which brought seven victories, five draws and 10 defeats — was the shortest spell for any permanent head coach in West Ham’s history, surpassing David Moyes’s first spell at the club (31 games) in 2017-18.A move to Qatar would represent a first return to international management for Lopetegui since he was dismissed from his role as Spain head coach on the eve of the 2018 World Cup.Lopetegui was unbeaten across 20 matches in charge of the Spanish national team but was […]
