Game 4 shifts back to Moda Center on Sunday, April 26, with tipoff set for 3:30 PM ET on ESPN. San Antonio leads the series 2-1 after taking Game 3 on the road, 120-108, and now has a real chance to push Portland to the edge before the series swings back to Texas. The Spurs finished the regular season 62-20, the Trail Blazers 42-40, so on paper this was always a gap series. Still, Portland already proved in Game 2 that it can make San Antonio uncomfortable if the game gets loose late. The biggest storyline is Victor Wembanyama’s status. He remains in concussion protocol and was still questionable as of Saturday, so bettors should not assume he is back

Game 4 shifts the pressure squarely onto Philadelphia. Boston took back control of this first-round series with a 108-100 win in Game 3, so the Celtics head into Sunday night up 2-1 with a chance to put the 76ers on the brink. Tipoff is set for 7:00 PM ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena, and the spot is pretty clear for both teams. Boston is looking to turn one road win into full series leverage, while Philadelphia needs a response before the matchup swings back north. Game 3 felt tighter than the final margin. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scored 25 apiece, Tyrese Maxey answered with 31, and the Celtics survived 17 turnovers because they were stronger on the glass, hit

Game 4 heads back to Toyota Center with Houston staring at the exact spot it wanted to avoid. The Lakers are up 3-0 in this Western Conference First Round series after stealing Game 3 in overtime, and now Los Angeles gets a closeout shot Sunday night at 9:30 PM on NBC. The records still matter here, too. The Lakers finished 53-29 and went 25-16 on the road, while the Rockets closed 52-30 with a strong 30-11 home mark. What changed the tone of the series was Friday’s collapse. Houston led by six with under 30 seconds left in regulation and still lost 112-108 in overtime. LeBron James finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists, Marcus Smart added 21

The Kansas City Royals will go for their first series sweep of the season when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday night. The Royals rapped out 14 hits and benefited from 10 walks in a 12-1 rout of the Angels on Saturday. Kansas City right-hander Seth Lugo (1-1, 1.15 ERA) will oppose left-hander Reid Detmers (1-2, 4.08) in the series finale — a rare nationally televised game for these teams. Lugo will look to continue his stellar start to 2026. The 36-year-old has allowed two earned runs or less in each of his five starts and has pitched into the seventh inning four times. Last time out, he tossed seven shutout innings Monday in a no-decision against the
