Sunday’s regular-season finale might end up being a dress rehearsal for Wednesday. The Warriors head into Intuit Dome at 37-44 already locked into the No. 10 seed in the West, which means they know they are opening the play-in on the road no matter what. The Clippers are 41-40 and still have more to sort out. Los Angeles can still grab the No. 8 seed with a win and some help, while a loss would lock in the 9-10 path and likely set up an immediate rematch with Golden State. That makes the motivational handicap a little tricky. The Clippers clearly have more on the line in the standings, but the Warriors also need this game for rhythm after finally

The New Orleans Pelicans close the season on the road Sunday night when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. New Orleans enters at 26-55 and well out of the playoff picture, while Minnesota is 48-33 and already locked into the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.

Tipoff is set for 10:30 PM ET, and the Lakers come in off back-to-back wins over Golden State and Phoenix. There is some injury uncertainty hanging over the home side, which matters for bettors. Luka Doncic remains out, Austin Reaves is still sidelined, and LeBron James entered the day with a questionable tag. Even so, this is still

The Boston Red Sox head into Sunday’s matchup at Busch Stadium with a little more control in this series after beating St. Louis 7-1 on Saturday. That result mattered because it was not just a win. It was a pretty convincing one. Boston played the cleaner game, created more consistent offense, and never really let the Cardinals settle into a comfortable rhythm. Now the Red Sox come back Sunday as a slight road favorite at -128, while the St. Louis Cardinals sit at +108 at home. That price tells us this is still expected to be competitive, and I think that is fair. Busch Stadium is not the easiest place for a road team to fully control a series, and
