RCD Espanyol heads to Estadio de Vallecas on Thursday, April 23, for a La Liga Matchday 33 meeting with kickoff set for 2:00 PM ET, which is 8:00 PM local in Madrid. This is one of those lower-half matches that matters more than the names might suggest at first glance. Rayo is trying to steady itself above the relegation line while also managing the emotional and physical spillover from a historic run to the UEFA Conference League semifinals. Espanyol is in a similar survival-minded zone, still close enough to danger that every point matters.

Sevilla travel to the Estadio Ciutat de València for a huge La Liga Matchday 33 meeting on Thursday, April 23, with kickoff set for 5:00 p.m. local time. This is a relegation fight, plain and simple.

Cleveland heads to Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night for Game 3 of this Eastern Conference first-round series, with tipoff set for 8:00 PM ET and the Cavaliers holding a 2-0 lead. Kenny Atkinson’s group finished the regular season 52-30, while Toronto closed 46-36, and now the pressure flips squarely onto the Raptors in their first home game of the series. The Cavs have not just won the first two. They have looked like the cleaner, more stable team for most of the matchup so far. That matters because this number is not asking Cleveland to dominate. It is asking the Cavs to be slightly better on the road than they have already been at home. Toronto should get a lift
