🏀 Zach Cohen’s NBA Report
Sixers Crashing The Party?
The 76ers had Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George on the floor on Saturday. The result? Oh, just a 118-114 road win over a Hornets team that has been among the best in basketball for three months. Philadelphia is clearly a dangerous team, and it’s a group that’s sitting out there at 33-1 odds to win the Eastern Conference.
Sunday Slate
Charlotte will be right back at it on Sunday, hosting a red-hot Boston team in a big Eastern Conference tilt. Let’s see how the Hornets respond to a tough loss. We’ll also get a massive showdown between the Knicks and Thunder at the Paycom Center. That’s a game that could potentially be a preview of the NBA Finals.

🏁 NASCAR race simulation
The favorite: Denny Hamlin is atop Steve Makinen’s final simulation for Sunday’s race at Martinsville.
Says Steve: If anyone figures to challenge him, it would be William Byron or Ryan Blaney.
👉 See the full simulation + odds board
Steve’s Top 5 picks:
Hamlin • Elliott • Blaney • Larson • Wallace
Underdogs with value:
Wallace • Berry • Chastain
Favorites to fade:
Briscoe • Buescher • Busch
The rub: Martinsville get a grade of A- from Steve, meaning it is one of the most predictable tracks — underdogs typically don’t outperform.
