The Pacers have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season and they have a good chance to add to their win total facing a Knicks’ team that will be without 2 of their top 3 scorers.
The Thunder are red-hot winners of 6 straight and they are coming off a HUGE win where they crushed the Chicago Bulls.
The Knicks have a 2.5 game lead over the Bucks, who they beat in their last game, for 8th and final playoff spot in the East, but can they hold on? Amare Stoudemire is out, and may be for the season, and both Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony are questionable for tonight’s game.
In the finals of the NIT tournament tonight at Madison Square Garden 2 teams that missed out on the Big Dance have a chance to add to their trophy collection.
Kentucky has had a rather easy road to the Final 4, as all of their wins in the Big Dance have been by double digits. It is no surprise that the Wildcats have the best odds to win the NCAA tournament.
The Kansas Jayhawks were a little lucky to get to the Elite 8, as they did not look good at all in their previous 2 Big Dance games, but they looked stellar in their win over North Carolina, who was the Midwest #1 seed and a pick by many to win the NCAA tourney.
The Knicks have a 2.5 game lead over the Bucks, who they beat in their last game, for 8th and final playoff spot in the East, but can they hold on? Amare Stoudemire is out, and may be for the season, and both Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony are questionable for tonight’s game.
The 2012 MLB season will open in the Land of the Rising Sun and the 2 game series in Japan will be dedicated to assisting in the rebuilding efforts across that nation that is still recovering from a massive earthquake last year.
The Clippers are coming off a win, but they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and are tied with the Mavs for the 4th spot in the Western Conference.
The Bulls will be without Derrick Rose for the 7th straight game, but even without the reigning MVP in the lineup Chicago has won 4 straight.
The Heat have beaten the Pacers 5 straight times, but they are coming off their worst loss of the season and Indiana is coming off a win.
Ohio is the Cinderella of the Sweet 16 being the 13th seed and while they face the Midwest #1 seed in North Carolina the Tar Heels and their title hopes took a huge blow in their last game when they lost G Kendall Marshall, who leads the nation in assists, to a wrist injury.
Ohio is not the only Cinderella in the Sweet 16, as 11th seed NC State is still alive and both teams are in the Midwest Region.
The Cardinals won the World Series last season, but with Pujols gone it will be tough to repeat and the Phillies, Yankees, and Pujols’ new team of the Angels have the best odds to win the World Series this season.
The Rangers did not have a very good off-season, as they lost out on signing prized free agent Prince Fielder and they lost starting pitcher C.J. Wilson to the rival L.A. Angels. The Rangers will have, pretty much, the same team as they did last season, but that is not a bad thing since they came within 1 out of winning the World Series.
