      • Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett: Still not present for OTAs

        Brissett didn’t report to Arizona’s OTAs on Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

        Brissett remained away from the team after already missing all of last week, which was the first week of the Cardinals‘ OTAs. The veteran quarterback is holding out in the hope of securing a restructured contract, as his current deal is worth a maximum of only $5.39 million, with just $1.5 million guaranteed. Per Weinfuss, Arizona has informed Brissett that he is the team’s starting quarterback, though he’ll obviously need to eventually join the team in order to accept that role.

    • Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison: Healthy for offseason program

      Harrison (foot) participated at Cardinals OTAs this week.

      Harrison sat out Arizona’s regular-season finale due to a foot issue that he suffered one week prior, which capped an injury-plagued second pro campaign that contained him to three appearances over the final eight games. Overall, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft followed up a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets in 17 contests as a rookie by hauling in 41 of 73 passes for 608 yards and four TDs in 12 outings last year. With Kyler Murray getting released in March, Harrison will be working with one of the following QBs this fall: Jacoby Brissett (holding out for a reworked contract), newcomer Gardner Minshew or 2026 third-rounder Carson Beck.

  • Dbacks recap and news

    • Diamondbacks’ Adrian Del Castillo: Knocks homer in win

      Del Castillo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday’s 7-5 win over the Giants.

      Del Castillo hadn’t gone yard since May 3 versus the Cubs. He hit a meager .136 over 16 games during the power drought, adding just six RBI and a 6:16 BB:K before his long ball Tuesday. For the season, the 26-year-old is hitting .191 with a .586 OPS, four homers, 19 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles across 120 plate appearances. Del Castillo continues to play regularly versus right-handed pitchers, splitting his time between designated hitter and catcher, though he’s done nothing to challenge for a spot higher in the order.

    • Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte: Adds insurance with homer

      Marte went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday’s 7-5 win over the Giants.

      Marte extended his hitting streak to 10 games when he took Erik Miller deep in the seventh inning. The second baseman has been scorching hot in that span, going 22-for-42 (.524) with four homers, 17 RBI and seven multi-hit efforts. The surge has him batting .273 with an .802 OPS on the year, and he’s added nine homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples and zero stolen bases over 51 contests. Marte has made a home for himself atop Arizona’s order and is still tracking toward a quality year in run production.

    • Diamondbacks’ Paul Sewald: Allows run but converts save

      Sewald allowed one run on one hit and struck out one without walking a batter to earn the save in Tuesday’s 7-5 win over the Giants.

      Sewald served up a solo shot to Willy Adames, but the Giants never mounted a real threat to the Diamondbacks‘ lead. This is the first time all year Sewald has allowed a run while converting a save. He hasn’t been all that dominant with a 3.98 ERA, though his 0.79 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB are strong marks through 20.1 innings this year. Sewald has converted 13 of 14 save chances in 2026, and his next save will be the 100th of his career.

    • Diamondbacks’ Eduardo Rodriguez: Earns fifth win

      Rodriguez (5-1) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants.

      Rodriguez has quality starts in four of his five outings in May, and he’s earned three wins this month. He’s allowed just six runs over 33.2 innings in that span, a strong rebound after some struggles in the latter half of April. The southpaw is enjoying an impressive bounce-back campaign after two years of struggles, pitching to a 2.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB through 66.1 innings over 11 starts. The walk rate (3.4 BB/9) is in line with his career norms, but a career-low BABIP (.259) has allowed him to find more success than usual. Rodriguez’s next start is projected to be a tough one at home versus the Dodgers early next week.

  • Golden Knights sweep Avalanche to advance to third Stanley Cup Final in nine seasons

    AP

    LAS VEGAS (AP) Brayden McNabb hit Mark Stone in stride with a lob pass in the first period for a highlight reel of a play, but it was the gritty work of the Vegas Golden Knights’ defense that ultimately put Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final.

    The Golden Knights limited the Colorado Avalanche’s high-powered offense all series and then suffocated it Tuesday night.

    That defense, aided by goals from Stone and Cole Smith, led to a 2-1 victory and an unthinkable sweep of Colorado for the Knights’ third final in nine seasons.

    “It’s by far our best game,” said Vegas coach John Tortorella, whose team was 30-1 at Caesars Sportsbook at the beginning of the series to sweep. “(Checking is) something we’ve been concentrating on, and I think we’ve gotten better and better through the rounds. But tonight’s game was our best checking effort, and that’s a hell of a hockey team we played over there.”

    The Golden Knights will get a break while they watch to see whether Carolina or Montreal emerges from the Eastern Conference Final.

    This is a crushing end for an Avalanche team that won the Presidents’ Trophy and had blown through the playoffs with an 8-1 record. Chicago in 2013 was the last team to claim the Presidents’ Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same season.

    “We ran into a buzz saw in Vegas,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “I think they deserved the credit. It’s not a knock on how hard they played, but they’re a well-oiled machine right now, peaking at the right time. I look at their series and man-to-man they’re playing at the top of their game. We’ll have to regroup and reassess and reflect on our season and the series and go from there.”

    With several Las Vegas Raiders players looking on, including quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, the Golden Knights got on the scoreboard when McNabb delivered a perfect pass to Stone. Not known for elite skating ability, Stone nevertheless got behind the Avalanche, caught the puck and scored.

    “I’m not winning a ton of races,” Stone said. “I think I can create angles to get into those positions. That’s probably why I’ve had quite a few breakaways in my career.”

    That was the only goal until Smith tipped in Dylan Coghlan’s shot from the point with 5:45 left for a critical two-goal margin.

    Carter Hart stopped 20 shots, coming within 2:03 of his first playoff shutout in six years.

    Gabriel Landeskog ended that shutout, one of the few highlights of the night for the Avalanche, who went the final 14:23 of the second period without a shot on goal and more than 25 minutes with just one shot.

    Hart said he thought the Golden Knights defense “100%” frustrated the Avalanche.

    “I think once we scored that first goal, in the second and third period we just kind of locked it down and kept pressure on them,” Hart said. “We did a great job. We had some huge blocks tonight.”

    It wasn’t just this night. Colorado center Nathan MacKinnon, who led the NHL with 53 goals in the regular season, failed to hit the back of the net in any of the four games. Martin Necas, who had 100 points, totaled just two in this series.

    The Avalanche averaged a league-high 3.63 goals during the regular season and in the first two rounds upped that to 4.11. Against the Golden Knights? It was 1.75.

    “I think you look back at the four games, there are definitely times where we found our game,” Landeskog said. “I think the problem was we found ways to lose hockey games. I think over the course of the regular season, in the first two rounds, it was the opposite. Even if we didn’t have our A-game, we were finding different ways to win hockey games, and against this good of a hockey team in the Golden Knights, they’ll make you pay for your mistakes.”

    Mackenzie Blackwood, making his first start in the series, gave the Avalanche a chance to win with several dazzling saves en route to 24 saves overall. His best stop came late in the second period when he lunged to glove a power-play shot from Pavel Dorofeyev.

    The journey to the final isn’t quite the Cinderella story of the Golden Knights’ first team that made the Stanley Cup Final in 2018 before losing in five games to Washington, but Vegas’ voyage to this point was far from expected.

    The Golden Knights faced the possibility of not making the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history when management fired coach Bruce Cassidy, who led the club to the 2023 title, with eight games left in the regular season.

    In came Tortorella, who validated the controversial decision by leading Vegas to a 7-0-1 record to close the regular season and then series victories over Utah and Anaheim. Then the Golden Knights faced an Avalanche team on a roll and without any sign of slowing down.

    At least until facing Vegas.

    Bednar searched for answers against the Golden Knights, even changing goalies on Tuesday. The Avalanche also dealt with injuries to their top two players this series – reigning Norris Trophy winner Cale Makar and MacKinnon, a Hart Trophy finalist.

    The Golden Knights had their own injury issues, winning the first two games of the series without Stone.

    WIN
    I’m backing Vegas to get the sweep tonight. This game is being priced like the Golden Knights haven’t dominated the first three games. I think it should be closer to -115. Vegas goalie Carter Hart has been a wall with a .942 save percentage in the series. It’s hard to believe but the vaunted Colorado offense have just four goals at full strength in the first three games. The Avalanche also has some key players banged up, including star Nathan MacKinnon, who is dealing with a lower body injury. The Vegas’ defense has been elite in the playoffs and I expect that to continue in Game 4. The Golden Knights move on to the Stanley Cup Final.

  • Thunder top Spurs 127-114 in Game 5, move a win away from a return to NBA Finals

    • AP
    • May 27, 2026

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 points, Alex Caruso led another strong bench effort with 22 and the Oklahoma City Thunder moved one win away from a return trip to the NBA Finals by beating the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 on Tuesday night.

    Jared McCain – getting the call with Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell both sidelined – scored 20 in his first playoff start for the defending NBA champion Thunder, who lead the Western Conference finals 3-2.

    Chet Holmgren scored 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Thunder, while Isaiah Hartenstein had a 12-point, 15-rebound night in Oklahoma City.

    Stephon Castle scored 24 points for San Antonio, which got 22 points from Julian Champagnie and 20 points from Victor Wembanyama – who was held to 4-of-15 shooting.

    Keldon Johnson scored 15 off the bench for San Antonio, which missed 29 of its 41 3-point tries.

    Game 6 is Thursday in San Antonio. If there’s a Game 7, it’ll be back in Oklahoma City on Saturday – and while this series winds down, the New York Knicks are waiting to see who emerges.

    The Knicks will play the Thunder-Spurs winner in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 3, with that series starting in the Western Conference city.

    Oklahoma City scored 40 points in the second quarter to take control and kept the lead the rest of the way.

    “We just played to who we were tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander said.

    It took nearly 10 minutes for the first free throws to be awarded. But when the parade to the foul line started, it didn’t stop.

    The teams combined to make 29 free throws in the second quarter alone, the most in the second quarter of any NBA game since the bubble playoffs nearly six years ago. It wasn’t a one-sided thing – the Spurs were 15 for 17 in the quarter, the Thunder 14 for 14.

    Oklahoma City went up by 20 in the third, before San Antonio closed within eight. The Spurs might have had some chances to cut even further into the deficit, but were fuming – and rightly so, it seemed – over some missed calls in the final minute of the quarter.

    A tip-in try by San Antonio’s Luke Kornet with about 56 seconds left was knocked off the rim by Oklahoma City’s Cason Wallace and should have been goaltending. And on the next Spurs’ possession, an out-of-bounds call that should have gone their way – replays showed the ball went out off of Holmgren – did not. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson tried to challenge the call, got ignored, then got a technical foul for arguing.

    After all that, Oklahoma City’s lead was 101-91 going into the fourth.

    Chet Holmgren has faced the Spurs eight times this season, averaging just 10.9 points per game, and has exceeded 13.5 points just twice, going for 14 and 17. In the Western Conference Finals, he’s scored no more than 14 points and taken no more than 10 shots, averaging 8 shots per game. In 13 career games vs. Wemby and the Spurs, Holmgren is averaging 12.6 PPG.

    LOSS
    Caesar’s. With Jalen Williams ruled out, I’m actually going to turn to his namesake. Jaylin Williams has seen an uptick in minutes as a backup big in the Thunder’s desperate attempt to find some complementary offense without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Playing 22 minutes in each of the last two games, Jaylin has attempted 13 total threes as a floor spacer, trying to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the bucket. He’s a more attractive offensive option than Isaiah Hartenstein, and a better threat from the outside than Chet Holmgren. At +115 or better, I like this spot.

  • Marte and Del Castillo homer as Diamondbacks beat Giants 7-5 for ninth win in 10 games

    AP

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Ketel Marte hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning, Adrian Del Castillo had a solo shot and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 7-5 on Tuesday night for their ninth win in 10 games.

    However, the Diamondbacks lost Nolan Arenado to right groin tightness, with the third baseman exiting in the seventh inning.

    Eduardo Rodriguez (5-1) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings, lowering his ERA to 2.31.

    Tyler Mahle (1-7) allowed three earned runs and three hits in five innings.

    Casey Schmitt got the Giants started with a solo home run in the first inning, matching the career high he set last with his 12th. Schmitt finished with two hits and two RBIs.

    Arizona went ahead with a three-run second, highlighted by Del Castillo’s homer.

    The Diamondbacks stayed ahead as Rafael Devers’ season-long offensive woes persisted. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the fifth, Devers struck out swinging, ending what would be San Francisco’s best opportunity.

    The Giants tried to rally as Eric Haase hit a solo home run in the seventh inning and Devers had an RBI double in the eighth. Willy Adames then had a solo homer in the ninth, but closer Paul Sewald eventually shut the door to give Arizona the win, his 14th save of the season.

    Giants prospect Victor Bericoto notched his first major league hit after getting his first career call-up after seven years in the minors.

    Diamondbacks RHP Michael Soroka (6-2, 3.27 ERA) opposes Giants RHP Trevor McDonald (2-1, 4.76 ERA) Wednesday night to close out the series.

    LOSS
    Caesar’s. Tyler Mahle has allowed 60 hits in 51.2 innings this season, with at least five given up in 7/10 starts. This includes his last start against the Diamondbacks in which he allowed 8 hits. The Diamondbacks offense has been hot in general, with a .275 batting average against righties over the last two weeks, as well as the highest line drive rate (24.6%) and third best hard hit rate (40.2%). Even if Mahle (.294 OBA) regresses to the mean (.250 xBA), this is still a line the D-Backs should hit within the first 22 batters.

    It was less than a week ago that Tyler Mahle faced this Diamondbacks team and gave up 6 earned runs through 5 innings and there’s very little evidence that he’ll have a drastic improvement this time around. Eduardo Rodriguez is due for some regression for Arizona, but the Giants aren’t great against lefties and I think he does enough to limit runs. Ultimately, this is a fade of Mahle and a lean on the Dbacks bats that are starting to heat up.

  • Svechnikov scores in OT as Hurricanes beat Canadiens 3-2 in Game 3 of East final

    AP

    MONTREAL (AP) Andrei Svechnikov scored at 14:06 of overtime as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Final.

    Shayne Gostisbehere and Taylor Hall scored in regulation for Carolina. Frederik Andersen made 11 saves.

    Mike Matheson and Lane Hutson scored for Montreal, which got 35 stops from Jakub Dobes.

    The best-of-seven series returns to the Bell Centre for Game 4 on Wednesday.

    Andrei Svechnikov fired a shot through a crowd after a back-and-forth with Seth Jarivs for the winning tally.

    After picking up a 3-2 extra-time victory at home Saturday that looked a lot more like their relentless style following a discombobulated 6-2 loss in Thursday’s opener, the Hurricanes came out flying and took the lead at 8:24 of the first period when the puck popped into the slot for Gostisbehere to fire in off the left post past a diving Dobes.

    The Canadiens, who topped the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres in a pair of seven-game matchups to make the conference final despite a combined 2-4 record at home, tied it at 15:28.

    Carolina, the East’s top seed coming off sweeps of the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers, pushed back less than minute later when Hall shoveled home his own rebound from in tight past Dobes as the winger was falling to the ice at 16:22.

    Montreal, which registered just 12 shots in Game 2, evened things up on a power play at 4:43 of the second period.

    Carolina’s defensive chops were on full display in a “must win” game 2; holding the Canadiens to just five (5) shots through two periods and doing everything they could to suppress scoring chances. When it comes to the playoffs defense travels and I think we see more of the same from the Canes tonight. Meanwhile Montreal showed early this postseason that they’re built to win a slug fest in their own barn as well. My total on the game given current form and situation is closer to 5.5 (over -15) so being able to bet under a flat 6 is an opportunity worth taking.

  • New York back in NBA Finals for first time since 1999 after beating Cleveland 130-93 to finish sweep

    • AP
    • May 25, 2026

    CLEVELAND (AP) Karl Anthony-Towns had 19 points and 14 rebounds, OG Anunoby scored 17 and the New York Knicks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 Monday night to complete a four-game sweep of the Eastern Conference finals and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

    Landry Shamet scored 16 off the bench while Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson had 15 apiece for the Knicks, who became the fourth team to have an 11-game winning streak during their postseason run. The last to do it was Golden State, which had a 15-game run en route to its second title in three seasons in 2017.

    All but one of the Knicks’ wins have been by double digits, with an average margin of victory of 23.7 points.

    The Knicks pulled their starters with 7:47 remaining and a 35-point lead as their large contingent of fans loudly chanted “Knicks in four!” New York fans easily outnumbered Cleveland fans as die-hard celebrity fans director Spike Lee, comedian Tracy Morgan and actor Timothée Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, made the trip.

    “Our guys played great. You’re in the conference finals and score 65 points off of offensive rebounds and fast break points. I don’t know if I’ve seen that at this point of the year. We wanted to push the pace,” coach Mike Brown said.

    New York will play the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs in the finals. The Western Conference finals is tied at two games apiece with Game 5 to be played in Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The Thunder or Spurs will have homecourt advantage when the finals start on June 3 because of a better regular-season record.

    This will be the Knicks third appearance in the finals since winning their last title in 1973. They lost in seven games to Houston in 1994 and in five to San Antonio in 1999.

    Knicks legends Walt “Clyde” Frazier and Patrick Ewing presented the Bob Cousy Trophy to the Knicks on the court.

    It is the 15th time since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976 that a coach has reached the finals in his first year with a team. The Knicks hired Brown after parting ways with Tom Thibodeau after they reached the Eastern Conference finals last year, but lost in six games to Indiana.

    It will be Brown’s second trip to the finals as a coach. His last trip was with Cleveland in 2007.

    The Knicks have won all three of their clinching games during the playoffs by at least 30 points. They routed the Atlanta Hawks by 51 in Game 6 of the first round (140-89) and then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers by 30 (144-114) in Game 4 of the second round to complete a sweep.

    Brunson was named the MVP of the series after averaging 25.5 points and 7.8 assists.

    Donovan Mitchell had 31 points for Cleveland, which was swept in a postseason series for the first time since the 2018 NBA Finals against Golden State.

    “They’re playing better basketball. You got to give them credit. They’re on a heater. I don’t want to detract from what we’ve done, but sometimes you’ve got to give the other team credit,” Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson said.

    Mitchell scored the Cavaliers first eight points as they jumped out to an 8-2 lead. Cleveland led for most of the first six minutes before New York took control.

    Evan Mobley’s putback dunk gave the Cavaliers a 17-14 advantage before the Knicks scored nine straight points.

    A floater by Mitchell got Cleveland within 30-26 with 2:12 remaining in the first quarter when New York went on a 20-0 run over a five-minute span. The Knicks were 8 of 14 from the field, including four 3-pointers. The bench scored 15 points, including a pair of 3-pointers by Shamet. The seventh-year guard was 11 of 12 from beyond the arc during the series.

    Cleveland was 0 for 9 from the field during its drought, including missing all three shots from beyond the arc, and committed four turnovers.

    The Knicks led by as many as 29 in the first half and were up 68-49 at halftime. It was the fourth time this postseason the Knicks were up by at least 19 after 24 minutes.

    Knicks already had four players in double figures in the first half. Towns had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

    New York’s largest lead was 45 points in the fourth quarter.

    MGM / FD. After his 17 rebound plus assist performance in Game 1, Evan Mobley has recorded 9 and 8 in the following contests. Overall, he’s under this line in 10/17 playoff games, and 5/6 against the Knicks this season. New York is a tough opponent for big men rebounds and assists, and with the Cavs inserting Max Strus into the starting lineup, that adds a better rebounder and distributor than Dean Wade.

  • Marte’s 4-hit day helps Kelly win 4th straight start as D-backs beat Giants 6-2

    AP

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Ketel Marte had four hits, including a tying double in the fifth inning and a two-run single in the sixth, and Merrill Kelly pitched seven strong innings to win his fourth straight start as the surging Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Monday.

    Kelly (5-3) allowed two runs on four hits, struck out four and walked two. He became the fourth pitcher in Arizona history to reach 1,000 innings.

    It’s the second-longest winning streak of his eight-year career behind a stretch of five consecutive victories from May 15 to June 9, 2023. The veteran right-hander beat the Giants for the second time in six days and is 4-0 over his last six starts against San Francisco.

    After Marte’s double in the fifth, Geraldo Perdomo singled one out later to put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-2. Adrian Del Castillo added an RBI single for Arizona, which won its third straight, ninth in 11 games and improved to 12-4 since May 9.

    Corbin Carroll extended his majors-best and season-high hitting streak to 13 games. Marte, who has a nine-game hitting streak, produced three or more hits for a third consecutive game.

    San Francisco’s Rafael Devers hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the fourth.

    Gabriel Moreno homered leading off the third for Arizona’s first baserunner. The Diamondbacks then loaded the bases on three straight singles against Landen Roupp (5-5), who retired Perdomo on a called third strike and induced an inning-ending foul popup by Nolan Arenado to escape further damage.

    Facing the Diamondbacks for a second straight start, Roupp struck out seven and allowed four runs – two earned – on seven hits over five innings. He held Arizona to one run and seven hits in six innings last Tuesday in Phoenix.

    Dating to 2020, the Giants are 32-15 at home against Arizona.

    Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodríguez (4-1, 2.24 ERA) pitches Tuesday opposite Giants RHP Tyler Mahle (1-6, 6.10).

    The Arizona Diamondbacks have now won a season best seven out of their last eight games. All the victories have came in the division, which included a home sweep over today’s opponent in the San Francisco Giants. Adrian Del Castillo’s has struggled on the season with a .181 batting average, and a drop in playing time. Yet his last multi hit game was against the San Francisco Giants, last Tuesday with Landen Roupp on the mound. He also moves up from the bottom of the lineup as he is hitting fifth today. Take Del Castillo to go over his combination prop offering today.
