Detroit center Jalen Duren has been unusually quiet during his team’s first-round series against the Orlando Magic. That likely needs to change soon if the Pistons intend to earn their first playoff-series win since 2008. Duren has been a non-factor for the top-seeded Pistons, who trail 2-1 in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference series heading into Game 4 on Monday in Orlando. The 22-year-old All-Star, who has averaged just 9.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in this series, posted eight points in 27 minutes before fouling out in Saturday’s 113-105 road loss. Detroit was down 96-79 with 8:34 left before going on a 26-8 run to move ahead by one with 2:52 remaining. The eighth-seeded Magic responded by scoring the game’s final

The Edmonton Oilers need to repeat history. Again. The Oilers are looking to kick off yet another series comeback when they continue their Western Conference first-round playoff series on the road against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. During runs to the Stanley Cup final in each of the past two springs, the Oilers have erased a handful of series deficits. They were down 2-0 to the Los Angeles Kings last year before rallying to win the opening-round series. Edmonton also won series after trailing 2-1 against both the Vancouver Canucks and the Dallas Stars in 2024 and the Kings the year before that ahead of a second-round exit. Therefore, trailing the Ducks by a 2-1 margin is not uncharted waters

The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles meet Sunday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and the handicap starts with how much weight bettors should give Saturday’s blowout. Boston crushed Baltimore 17-1, which immediately creates a market question: was that a real offensive reset for the Red Sox, or just one extreme result in a series that has already swung wildly? Boston enters at 10-17, last in the AL East, and still has a poor overall profile despite the recent win. The Red Sox are 5-9 on the road and have struggled to cover numbers, especially as underdogs. Baltimore is 13-14, third in the AL East, but the Orioles have not been consistent either, going 4-6 over their last 10.

The Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays meet Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre, and this matchup has a few layers beyond the short home favorite price. Cleveland enters at 15-13 and leads the AL Central, but the Guardians are coming off a 5-3 loss to Toronto and have split their last 10 games. The Blue Jays sit at 11-15, fourth in the AL East, but they bring some momentum after taking Saturday’s meeting. The pitching matchup gives Toronto the cleaner starting point. Slade Cecconi enters for Cleveland at 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA, while Patrick Corbin counters for the Blue Jays with a 3.68 ERA and a recent strong outing against the Angels. That gap matters, especially in a controlled
