He’s not the only guy riding a late wave up draft boards. Here are three players whose stock has skyrocketed in the past few days and could possibly smash… Source link

The potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft was born with the Christian name of Yuri. He played the trombone growing up. He wasn’t considered the best player (or even the second- or third-best …) on his college defense, even if his defense was really good.

Thanks to James Harden’s hamstring, Kyrie Irving’s ankle and Kevin Durant‘s toes, the Brooklyn Nets are out of the NBA playoffs.  The Nets were overwhelming favorites to win it all before their second-round series against the Bucks, and those odds got even shorter after taking a 2-0 lead. More than 40 percent of the money wagered on who would win the NBA championship was on the Nets. After Brooklyn’s Game 7 loss on Saturday night there were a lot of torn-up tickets and some very happy… Source link

Oddsmakers think Denver is facing a tough road against the Phoenix Suns without Jamal Murray.  The two teams are set to meet in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs after Denver closed out Portland in six games on the road Thursday night and Phoenix followed suit hours later with a Game 6 win on the road over the Los Angeles Lakers.  Phoenix — the No. 2 seed — is the favorite to win the series at -225 according to BetMGM.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have beaten the odds this offseason, winning three straight road games to make a Super Bowl. They’ll need to beat the odds again in Super Bowl LV. BetMGM released its opening line for Super Bowl LV just before the AFC championship game was done, and to nobody’s surprise the Kansas City Chiefs are favored. They opened as 3.5-point favorites over the Buccaneers. The Chiefs easily handled the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game to advance to their second… Source link
