NBA
Western Conference Finals, Game 5
The series comes back to Paycom Center knotted at two games apiece, with the winner moving within one victory of a Finals date with New York.
Spurs at Thunder · 8:30 ET
Paycom Center · NBC · Market: OKC -4.5, total 216.5, OKC ML -185
Wembanyama is the only player on either roster expected to reach a double-double, and the scale of his two-way impact is staggering — his expected five combined steals and blocks more than doubles every other player on the floor. His rebounding dwarfs everyone else in this game, and his ceiling in combined points, rebounds, and assists stretches past 58.
| Team | PTS | REB | AST |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAS | Wembanyama 25.9 | Wembanyama 13.0 | Castle 6.4 |
| OKC | Gilgeous-Alexander 29.3 | Hartenstein 7.3 | Gilgeous-Alexander 8.0 |

MLB
15-Game Tuesday
A packed slate stretches from first pitch on the East Coast at 6:10 all the way to Dodger Stadium past ten, with a handful of interleague matchups mixed in as June approaches.
Mariners at Athletics · 9:40 ET
Sutter Health Park · Market: SEA -116, total 9.5
This matchup carries the highest projected run total on tonight’s 15-game slate, and Julio Rodriguez is at the center of it — he leads all hitters in combined production. Severino has the edge from the mound with more projected strikeouts and fewer hits allowed than Hancock, which could keep the scoring tighter than the total suggests.

NHL
Western Conference Final, Game 4
Colorado visits Las Vegas facing a sweep after dropping the first three games of the Western Conference Final.
Avalanche at Golden Knights · 9:00 ET
T-Mobile Arena · ESPN · Market: COL -115, total 6.5
MacKinnon carries the heaviest shot load on either bench, a full attempt ahead of anyone in a Vegas sweater — and his ceiling stretches to six. The Avalanche need that volume with their season on the line, and with Carter Hart projected to make nearly 30 saves on the other end, Colorado’s offense has a clear path to testing him.
