Oakland Athletics vs Kansas City Royals Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
Lawrence Butler's bat has been in a deep slumber, and the 25-year-old outfielder hasn't resembled the player who topped 20 homers in each of his first two full major league seasons. Perhaps that's why Athletics manager Mark Kotsay was so excited to see the "Law Dog" deliver a pivotal three-run homer in Wednesday's 5-2 triumph over the Kansas City Royals. Now Butler and the A's will look to beat the Royals again on Thursday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series at West Sacramento, Calif. Butler broke a 1-1 tie with his three-run homer, in the fourth inning, to help propel the Athletics on Wednesday. "It's nice to see the results and the joy," Kotsay said of Butler. "It's

Minnesota Wild vs Dallas Stars Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
Dallas heads to Grand Casino Arena on Thursday night for Game 6 with its season on the line. Minnesota leads this first-round series 3-2, so the setup is pretty clean now: the Wild can close it out at home, while the Stars have to win to force a Game 7 back in Texas. Puck drop is set for 7:30 PM ET, and this one lands in a high-pressure slot on TNT. Minnesota has earned this chance by taking the last two games, including a 4-2 road win in Game 5 behind another big Kirill Kaprizov night and steady work from Jesper Wallstedt. Dallas still has the profile of a dangerous team, especially with its power play, but the Stars have

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
The Edmonton Oilers head to Honda Center on Thursday night for a 10:00 PM start on TNT knowing there is no margin left. Anaheim leads this first-round series 3-2, so Game 6 is simple for Edmonton: win and drag this matchup back to Rogers Place, or the season ends on the road. The Ducks, meanwhile, are one win from closing out a Pacific Division rival in front of a crowd that has already seen them go 2-0 at home in this series. Edmonton did exactly what it had to do in Game 5, winning 4-1 behind a huge night from Leon Draisaitl and another strong effort from Connor Ingram. That result matters, but so does the setting change. The Oilers

Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
The Knicks head to Atlanta for Game 6 with a 3-2 series lead and a real chance to finish this first-round matchup on the road. Tipoff is set for 7:00 PM ET on Thursday night at State Farm Arena, with ESPN carrying the broadcast. New York grabbed control again in Game 5 with a 126-97 win, and that result felt bigger than the margin. It was not just a win. It was a reminder that when the Knicks own the glass and dictate the physicality, Atlanta has a hard time getting the game where it wants it. That is the pressure spot for the Hawks now. They are back home, facing elimination, and trying to recover after getting pushed around

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Picks and Predictions April 30th 2026
Boston gets its second straight chance to close this series on Thursday night, heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game 6 with a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference first round. Tipoff is set for 8:00 PM ET, and the game is available on Peacock. The Celtics finished the regular season 56-26 and entered the playoffs as the No. 2 seed, while Philadelphia went 45-37 and came in as the No. 7 seed. Game 5 was the reminder that this matchup still has some life. Philadelphia stayed alive with a 113-97 win in Boston behind 33 points and eight assists from Joel Embiid and 25 points plus 10 rebounds from Tyrese Maxey. The Celtics led by a point after three
