Sunday is a day for early starts, but not a day for well-rested teams. The first game is starting at 12:00 p.m. ET, but I am still going to look at the full slate for my recommendations because five of the six start at 6:00 p.m. or earlier. Eight of the teams also played on Saturday, which means plenty of back-to-backs and recommendations. GOALIE Jaroslav Halak, BOS vs. NJD ($34): The Bruins are playing for the second straight day while the Devils are not, but I am still willing to go with… Source link

Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamel, and Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde discuss Louisville’s exclusion from the original field of 68 for the 2021 NCAA Tournament, and the situation for the team as it sits as the first designated replacement team. Source link

Reuters Team New Zealand hit top gear to level America’s Cup at 3-3 Holders Team New Zealand roared back to beat Luna Rossa and make it 3-3 in the 36th America’s Cup match off the coast of Auckland on Saturday, after the Italian challengers dominated the day’s opening race. TNZ hit speeds of over 40 knots in the second race to cross the line in 27 minutes and 27 seconds, a minute and 41 seconds ahead of Luna Rossa, to the delight of most of the roughly 15,000 fans on the quay and some 2,000… Source link

The 2021 NCAA men’s basketball tournament is here. At long last, after a 23-month wait. The March Madness bracket reveal is complete, with some unsurprising news at the very top of it: Gonzaga is the No. 1 overall seed. The Bulldogs enter the tournament undefeated, and as the betting favorite to win the national title — +300 at BetMGM. They went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the AP poll. Baylor earned the second No. 1 seed. Illinois earned the third No. 1. Michigan got the fourth. On the… Source link

Sunday slates tend to have games spread throughout the day, and that’s the case again here. We have nine in total, with six making up the night slate beginning at 7:00 pm ET. Many of the road teams are expected to be favorites, leading to some fascinating spreads. With that in mind, let’s get into it! Guards  Trae Young, ATL vs. CLE ($39)  It’s bizarre to see Trae below $40. He was closer to $50 for most of last season and it appears he’s recaptured that form recently. After another gem on… Source link

There are six games in the NHL on Sunday, but only the five evening bouts beginning at 5 p.m. ET are included in the main contests at Yahoo. Carolina, Colorado and Toronto are all huge favorites, while New Jersey and Columbus are both short underdogs on home ice. It’s also worth noting the Stars, Blue Jackets, Islanders, Devils, and Maple Leafs are all playing for the second consecutive day.  GOALIE Philipp Grubauer, COL vs. LA ($34): This salary probably isn’t prohibitive enough considering… Source link

Sunday slates tend to be lighter, but that’s not the case here. We have just one game during the day and then an eight-game nightcap. The good news is we don’t have a lot in terms of injuries or COVID news, which is a breath of fresh air with everything over the last few weeks. It’s also one of my final articles before the All-Star break, and we’re looking forward to finishing off the first half strong. Without further ado, let’s get into it!  Guards  Dennis Schroder, LAL vs. GSW… Source link

The main contests at Yahoo consist of the five late games beginning at 3:00 p.m. EST. Philadelphia and Washington come in as road favorites, whereas Chicago, Nashville and New York are all receiving chalk at home. The highest over/under total is in the Capitals-Devils contest. Here are some leans and fades to consider when assembling your lineups.  GOALIE Carter Hart, PHI at BUF ($24): It’s been a tough season for Hart, but his struggles are also built into his salary and this is primed as a… Source link

Sunday slates tend to be smaller ones, but we’re being treated to seven games. What’s really nice is we have a bunch of close contests to look forward to, with only Milwaukee coming in as a massive favorite over Sacramento. Every other matchup should be tight, and that’s all we can ask for as DFS managers!   Guards Fred VanVleet, TOR vs. PHI ($38) With Kyle Lowry missing another game, FVV should get another start at point guard. He’s had monstrous usage in this role by averaging 38 minutes and… Source link

The Canadiens and Bruins are significant favorites Sunday, while the Canucks are receiving short home chalk with the Yahoo featured contests only including the three evening games. Here’s a quick-hit primer to aid your lineup selections.  GOALIE Matt Murray, OTT vs. MON ($20): This is a letdown spot for the Canadiens after losing to Toronto 5-3 Saturday, and there’s potential for Murray to pad his fantasy point total through saves as Montreal has attempted the most shots per 60 minutes in the… Source link
