TD Garden

The Celtics play their second straight home game as they host the Chicago Bulls. This is the first of 4 games between these two teams this season. They will play again at Boston on October 30 and will play at Chicago on December 30 and March 9. The Celtics were 2-1 last season against the Bulls, winning both in Boston and losing 1 in Chicago.

This is the first of 16 back to back sets for the Celtics this season. They will host the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday to complete the back to back set. The Celtics were good in back to back games last season and hopefully, with their depth, it will carry through to this season. The Celtics are 139-111 overall, all time against the Bulls and they are 80-40 in games played at home.

The Bulls have had a lot of change since last season. They replaced Billy Donovan with Tiago Splitter at head coach. They traded for Nic Claxton and Buddy Hield. They signed free agent Norman Powell and 2-way players Tobe Awaka and Jaylin Sellers. They signed Caleb Wilson (4th pick) and Dailyn Swain (15th pick). They lost Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton, Nick Richards, Yuki Kawamura, MacMcClung, Guerschon Yabusele and Rob Dillingham.

The Celtics went 4-0 in the preseason, winning with both starters in 2 games and reserves and Exhibit 10 players in 2 others. They beat Cleveland, Charlotte and Philadelphia twice. The Bulls went 3-2 in the preseason, beating Minnesota and Milwaukee and Phoenix and losing to Denver and Memphis.

After this game, the Celtics will play home against Brooklyn and Chicago again. They will then play at Orlando and Houston and then home against Milwaukee before a road tripp takes them through Charlotte, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Toronto. They play Dallas and Orlando at home before a West coast trip that takes them through Denver, Sacramento, Golden State, and Washington.

Next for the Bulls, they will host New York before a 3 game road trip through Boston, Philadelphia and New York. They then host Philadelphia, San Antonio and Atlanta before playing at Minnesota, Cleveland, and Brooklyn. They then host Washington, Denver and Cleveland before one road game at Charlotte and a 6 game home stand hosting Indiana, New York, Cleveland, Houston, Miami and Utah.

The Celtics started Derrick White, Jordan Walsh, Paul George, Jayson Tatum and Mitchell Robinson in the first 2 games and I have once again listed the same starters for this game. It’s also possible that Joe may change this up for this game. I’ve listed the Bulls starters from their last game, which are Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, and Jalen Smith.

The Celtics still have just Devin Carter on the injury report due to illness. After missing the final 3 games of the preseason, Carter was diagnosed with mononucleosis and is without a timetable for a return. The Bulls list starting center Nic Claxton out due to a hamstring injury. Patrick Williams (groin) and Noa Essengue (head) both missed Saturday’s game and are questionable for this game.

Key Matchups
Jayson Tatum vs Caleb Wilson
Wilson was the 4th pick in the draft for the Bulls and is playing very well so far. He is averaging 22.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 40.7% from the field and 17.4% from beyond the arc. The Celtics need another big game from Jayson Tatum on both ends of the court.

Jordan Walsh  vs  Norman Powell
Powell is averaging 19.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.0 steals.  He is shooting 34.1% from the field and 28% from beyond the arc.  Over his career against the Celtics, he averaged 10.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.  Walsh’s defense made a difference against the Knicks and he will need to continue to make a difference on that end of the court in this game. 

Honorable Mention
Paul George vs Matas Buzelis
Buzelis is the only player left from the Bulls starters in their last game against the Celtics.  He is averaging 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 36.7% from the field and 13.3% from beyond the arc.   Over his career against the Celtics, he averaged 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.  We will see how many minutes PG will play in back to back games. 

Keys to the Game

Defense – As always, defense is the key to winning this, and every, game.  In the preseason, the Celtics were tops in the league with a defensive rating of 98.6.  In the second half of their first game, the Celtics allowed the Pistons to score 78 points.  The biggest problem in the Celtics collapse against the Pistons was their failure on the defensive end.  Likewise, one of the biggest factors in their win over the Knicks was their They held New York to just 103 points and also forced 18 turnovers, leading to 19 points off turnovers.  The Celtics need to continue to make defense their priority. 

Rebound –  As with defense,  rebounding will always be a key to winning.  The Celtics have to crash the boards as a team and go after every rebound.  In the preseason, the Celtics were 1st with 55 rebounds per game and 3rd with 16.8 offensive rebounds per game. So far in the regular season, they are last in rebounding with just 38 rebounds per game.  The Bulls are 9th with 48.3 rebounds per game.   Robinson and Queta are 2 of the best rebounders in the league and they need to be aggressive on the boards.  The Celtics need to get back to what they do best and win the rebounding battle against the Bulls.

Move the Ball Carefully –  The Celtics need to move the ball to get the best shots.  The Celtics are much better when they move the ball and don’t lapse into iso ball. Hopefully this season we will see much less iso ball than in the past.   But, they have to be careful with the ball and avoid turnovers.  They need to make the extra pass to find the best shot but they also need to stay focused and make careful passes. The Bulls are averaging 17.3 points off turnovers per game. 

3 Point Shooting – If the Bulls have one weakness, it is their 3 point shooting.  As a team, they are shooting 41.3 threes per game to 40.5 threes per game for the Celtics.  However, the Celtics are shooting 39.5% from beyond the arc (7th) while the Bulls are shooting just 22.6% from beyond the arc (30th).  The Celtics need to defend the perimeter and not allow them to get hot shooting the 3.   

X-Factors
Home Game –  The Celtics need to take advantage of home court and the boost their fans can give them.  The Bulls will face a hostile crowd and an unfamiliar arena along with travel which will hopefully give the Celtics the edge.  The Celtics need to play hard and protect home court and use the advantages it gives to get a win.   

Officiating – Officiating is always an x-factor in every game. Every crew officiates differently. Some call it tight, others let them play. The Celtics need to adjust to how the refs are calling the game and not allow bad calls or no calls to take away their focus from playing the game.  The Celtics also have to be aware of the new points of emphasis for this season and try to avoid flopping, off‑arm push‑offs, reckless closeouts, delays before free throws, and illegal screens. Paul George was already fined for a flop in the first game.

Did Jaylen Brown ‘demand' trade from C's? Scal clarifies comments

Did Jaylen Brown ‘demand' trade from C's? Scal clarifies comments originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The Jaylen Brown trade saga has taken another unexpected turn.

After Brown and ex-Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum addressed a potential “beef” between them — or “lamb chops and gravy,” as Brown put it — NBC Sports Boston analyst Brian Scalabrine added another layer to the story on Monday. Scal insinuated that Brown requested a trade out of Boston, and the C’s obliged by shipping him to the Philadelphia 76ers.

“My understanding of this thing is that he demanded to be traded. Not through the media, but to the organization,” Scalabrine said on his SiriusXM show, The Starting Lineup.

“My understanding is that Jaylen Brown went to the organization and had a list of demands, and it was like, ‘You either do this, or you trade me.’ And he was rooting to get traded to Milwaukee, including calling some other teammates about, ‘Hey, man, what do you think of Milwaukee? We should go there.’”

That contradicts what Brown said immediately following the trade. On his Twitch stream, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP vented about the “amount of respect” he was shown during the trade process and said he “wasn’t thrilled” with how Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens “facilitated some of the conversations.” He seemed genuinely blindsided by Boston’s decision to move on, stating that there’s “no loyalty in the NBA.”

Predictably, Scalabrine’s remarks caused quite a stir in the NBA world. He added more context to his comments before Monday’s Celtics-Bulls matchup at TD Garden.

“Technically, [Brown] didn’t demand to be traded,” Scal said on Celtics Pregame Live. “I just summed it all up. I summed up the entire word salad and kept it simple, but I think that’s what kind of got me in trouble there.

“I have no idea [what the demand was]. I don’t know what the ultimatum was or the demands or whatever it was. So technically, he did not demand to be traded. It was, ‘Do these things right here, or else.’ And one of them might have been, ‘Give me the $140 million extension.’ I haven’t gotten to the bottom of all that. I didn’t even know this was going to be a thing. It’s one of those things that lived in my mind for months. I finally used it because we were talking about the weirdest stuff, and now it’s out there.”

So according to Scalabrine, Brown didn’t demand a trade. Rather, he approached Boston’s front office with a “list of demands,” and the front office didn’t acquiesce.

If Brown stayed, the Celtics would have had to decide whether to sign him to a two-year extension worth around $140 million. With Tatum still owed $190 million on his deal, Stevens admitted that it would be difficult to forge a path forward with both stars.

“I might be wrong. I’m not going to stand up here and be defensive about that, but the path looked a little bit more challenging, with 70 percent of our cap and such a high percent of our usage tied into two players,” he said at the time.

If nothing else, the latest Jaylen Brown drama has made the upcoming showdown between the C’s and Sixers even more interesting. Brown and Tatum’s first official game against one another is scheduled for Nov. 10 in Philly.

2027 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List introduction and nominees

It’s that time of year again, friends! The 2026 San Francisco Giants season may have been one of the worst in recent memory — or ever, for that matter — but at least we have a treat waiting to start the offseason: the return of the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, in which we will, as a group, rank the top 44 prospects in the Giants system.

Last year’s CPL was so much fun. After years of a middling farm system, it really felt like things were headed up going into the 2026 Minor League Baseball season, and the 44 names (which didn’t even include Jonah Cox, Scott Bandura, Turner Hill, or César Perdomo!) reflected that. And, looking back on the list, we were right to be excited.

And yet, even though last year’s No. 1 prospect (Bryce Eldridge) graduated, it still feels like this year’s list is going to be even more exciting.

So today we embark on a community journey that will last for a few months. Hopefully by the time we wrap things up, there will be preseason baseball to keep us occupied, though the impending lockout could keep that from happening.

For the uninitiated — or just those who would like a refresher — here are the rules for the CPL, copy, pasted, and updated from a year ago:

  • CPL’s will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I may not follow that strictly, especially with the holidays, but it will be close. Voting will remain open until the next CPL.
  • I have given up on trying to evade the bots with polls, and so all voting will take place in the comment system through the “rec” feature. You will need to be logged in to participate.
  • We’ll start with seven nominees to choose from. When we are down to voting on four prospects we will nominate new players, and add them to the next list so we’re back at seven.
  • When it’s nomination day (such as today), use the comments to nominate new players. I’ll leave a top comment that you can respond to with prospect names, and you can recommend any comment that has a player you think should be added. If someone else has already nominated a player, please do not comment nominating that player, but instead cast your vote by hitting the “rec” button. You can also rec your own nomination, which I suggest doing. The four players with the most recs will get added to the next CPL.
  • To honor McCovey, we will rank 44 prospects, which includes all Giants who are still rookie eligible, with the exception of MLB-ready international free agents (the “Jung Hoo Lee exception”). If there is a tie, the next CPL will be a runoff post, with the loser of the runoff also getting added to the list.
  • If the Giants acquire a prospect during the CPL, through trade or international signing, and it seems as though they belong somewhere that the voting is already past, we’ll do a special post to vote on/debate their placement.
  • Use the comments to stump for players, argue, share knowledge, etc. This is always really fun, because of the energy, passion, and smartness that you all bring to it. The real CPL is the invigorating conversations we have along the way!
  • All players in the organization who still have their prospect status are eligible, even if they’re on the 40-man roster and/or expected to be on the active roster when the season begins.
  • Players who graduated this season and are no longer eligible: Victor Bericoto, Drew Cavanaugh, Jonah Cox, Bryce Eldridge, Trent Harris, Turner Hill, Trevor McDonald, Jesús Rodríguez, Carson Seymour, Dylan Smith, Daniel Susac, Blade Tidwell, and Carson Whisenhunt.
  • I know there is always a hot debate as to what constitutes a prospect, and many in our lovely community feel strongly that players who have made MLB debuts should not be included on prospect lists. I certainly understand that sentiment, and can’t control who anyone votes for, but I strongly encourage people to vote based on who is included on this list, not on their personal ones, as that will more accurately reflect the purpose of the project. Protest votes have their time and place, but I don’t think this is either.

And with that, let’s head to the comment section and nominate some players for Wednesday’s opening chapter! As always, a special thank you to all of the McCovey Chronicles writers who have handled this project in the past, with a special shoutout to Roger Munter, who not only remains an active participant in the CPL discussions, but a vital resource to all of us.

Now prospect fans, start your engines!

Kevin Long no longer a consideration for spot in Mets' hitting department

It appears the Kevin Long reunion some Mets fans had been hoping for won't be happening. 

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, there wasn't a match when the two sides met last week to discuss a potential role in the club's hitting department. 

Long is reportedly no longer in consideration for the opening.

The 59-year-old seemed like a potentially good fit to return due to his strong stint previously in the organization and his connection with superstar Juan Soto from their days together with the Nationals. 

Long has a pair of World Series rings on his resume, and his offenses have consistently posted some of the best numbers in baseball throughout his 20-year big-league coaching career. 

Instead of bringing him back, though, the Mets will have to look elsewhere to help their offense next season. 

New York reportedly promoted Mariano Duncan to the big-league staff to fill an unknown role on Monday, and they previously expressed interest in meeting with Cubs assistant hitting coach John Mallee.

Game Preview: Suns have a chance to change the conversation in OKC

PHOENIX, AZ - APRIL 27: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander #2 of the Oklahoma City Thunder handles the ball while defended by Devin Booker #1 of the Phoenix Suns during the game during Round One Game Four on April 27, 2026 at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Who: Phoenix Suns (1-1) @ Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0)

When: 5:00pm Arizona Time

Where: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, OK

Watch: Arizona’s Family 3TV, Arizona’s Family Sports

Listen: KMVP 98.7


Phoenix got in the win column Saturday night against a depleted Warriors team, behind a vintage Devin Booker 43-point, 7-rebound, 7-assist game. Most of the reaction has been in the “concerned” category, and rightly so. The Suns have started games slowly, shown a lack of cohesiveness, failed to box out rebounders, at times losing focus, and have not consistently provided the level of effort needed for this roster to succeed.

In September, Bright Side of the Sun’s staff chimed in on the biggest questions facing the Suns in their first 10 games. I said, “My main question is in the intangibles category. Last year, the Suns were gritty more often than not. They dove for loose balls, scrapped on defense, and crashed the offensive glass. With new parts added and several high-effort players signing new contracts, will the effort dip?”

This remains the overriding thing to monitor, transcending individual player performances. Will the players self-correct and reach the required level? Jordan Ott was rated in the GM survey as having good offensive and defensive schemes. Can he show the coaching “goods” in the other skills like motivation, culture sustainment, and accountability?

Perhaps a game against a championship-caliber Thunder team will help Phoenix raise the bar on its play, even if it doesn’t result in a win. After a win on Sunday, OKC enters the game 3-0.  They also swept the Suns in last year’s playoffs. This game is not about revenge for that series; it’s about closing a large gap in “how” the two teams play and getting this season on the right path.

Late-breaking news as I prepared this article: Uber-talented star Jalen Williams was carted off the home floor during the fourth quarter of Oklahoma City’s victory Sunday night over the Clippers. With the culture in OKC, expect the rest of their talented team to respond. Devastating news for a player who has only been stopped by injury in a promising career thus far. The Thunder suffered several other rotation player injuries in that contest as well.

Tale of the Tape

Probable Starters

Injury Report

Suns

  • Oso Ighodaro — Doubtful (Right Oblique Strain)
  • Mark Williams — Out (Left Shoulder Surgery)

Thunder

  • Jalen Williams — Out (Lower-leg/ankle injury)
  • Cason Wallace — Out (Left shoulder soreness)
  • Chet Holmgren — Out (Right Patellar Tendinitis)

What to Watch For

This is a tough matchup for the Suns. Outcomes are what count in the standings, but “process” is what will ultimately count for this team’s season. Look for signs of improvement. Is awareness of defense improving? Do loose balls find their way into the hands of Phoenix players? 

After two games, the purple & orange are 26th in the league in defensive rebounding.  This has to improve the limit second chance points should the Thunder hit a cold streak in shooting. That is quite literally a tall task with OKC, who include three 7-foot-plus players in the rotation: Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and rookie Aday Mara. 

Watch for ways that make us feel better about the way we’re playing. It’s a long season, but bad habits can become the norm if not corrected.

Keys to a Suns Win

Upsets in the NBA are often tied to two factors: three-point shooting (volume and accuracy) and the absence of key players on the favored team, due to injury or rest. As covered above, the unfortunate three injuries OKC incurred Sunday night, check one of those boxes. 

To get good looks from long range, better ball movement would go a long way. As of Sunday, Phoenix ranks last in the NBA in passes made per game (230, compared to a league median of 294), per NBA.com.

Luke Kennard showed that elite sharpshooter talent in his first appearance Saturday. The ball needs to find its way to him, and last year’s team three-point recorder holder Collin Gillespie frequently. While we’re at it, it would be a big lift if Booker provided one of his occasional six 3-pointer games. His shot was “on” versus the Warriors, but almost exclusively inside the arc. Other potential contributors to a hot night from downtown could be Jalen Green, Miles Bridges, Dillon Brooks, or Jordan Goodwin — all of whom have had streaky, good long-distance games in the past.  

The flip side of this: limiting threes for the Thunder. Jared McCain is a dangerous combination of high volume and accuracy, so the Suns need to be aware of him at all times. It feels like Alex Curoso often gets hot versus Phoenix, and checking this shows a career 40% mark. The bottom line is that the higher levels of effort and awareness mentioned in “what to watch for” have to show up as quick, alert defensive rotations. Make OKC, playing the second game of a back-to-back and with a suddenly thinned rotation, work hard for those open shots and hope the weary legs lead to a low three-point percentage.

Then PLEASE box out and go after those rebounds to limit second chances.

Prediction

The Suns take steps in the right direction, but not quite enough to get the W against this powerhouse team at home.  

Thunder 110, Suns 102

Fans want Chris Boucher back on the Raptors after last night’s game

TORONTO, ON - MARCH 10: Chris Boucher #25 of the Toronto Raptors looks on ahead of playing the Washington Wizards in their basketball game at the Scotiabank Arena on March 10, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Chris Boucher played seven seasons in a Toronto Raptors jersey, and fans seem to be clamouring for him to have one more after the debacle that was Sunday night’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Losses are to be expected in the NBA, especially to teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have one of the most dangerous backcourt duos in Anthony Edwards and Lonzo Ball, paired with a 4-time Defensive Player of the Year in rim protector Rudy Gobert. This threesome looks built to be Raptor kryptonite, and indeed, beat the Raps badly, 94-117. However, what was shocking about the loss wasn’t the severity, but it was who became instrumental in the team’s collapse.

Two of the Raptors’ five starters scored zero points throughout the entire contest. Both Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes went scoreless last night, which, in the latter’s case, is absolutely shocking. However, while Poeltl is the Raptors’ starting big man, he has a documented injury history that is potentially still limiting his abilities on the court. For that reason, some Raptors fans are ready for a change at centre, with Boucher seemingly throwing his hat in the ring with a very simple Tweet last night.

Under the Canadian’s post were a flood of supportive messages from Raptors fans.

“miss you” @cmb6ix put it simply.

“Bonjour!! We need you!!!” Begged @NoelComstock.

“GAIN SOME WEIGHT, AND WORK ON REBOUNDING, AND YOU’D HAVE A JOB FAM.” @coach5611 came in, providing some clear instructions for what he’d like to see from Boucher.

The man who some fans called the “Block Quebecois” most recently played for the Boston Celtics, averaging two points and two rebounds across nine games, a far cry from his 10 points per game a year before for the Toronto Raptors.

Boucher would have some difficulties fitting into the current Raptors’ current needs as a result of his slender frame and height of 6’8”, of which the Raptors have plenty of such players already. Boucher’s last start came in the 2021-22 season for the Raptors, meaning that if he rejoined the team, he would undoubtedly remain a bench piece.

While it would be fantastic for team and fan morale to have Boucher back in a limited role, fans’ reactions are likely mired in nostalgia and frustration for Toronto’s current centre situation as opposed to clearheaded suggestions. Nevertheless, last night demonstrated that Boucher still has a contingent of loyal fans amongst Raptors supporters, who would be glad to see their fellow Canadian back in Raptors red and black.

Westchester Knicks announce 2026–27 training camp roster

TORONTO, CANADA - OCTOBER 13: Jaden Akins #14 of the New York Knicks looks to pass the ball during the game against the Toronto Raptors during a 2026 NBA Preseason game on October 13, 2026 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Westchester Knicks have announced their 2026–27 training camp roster, with 16 players competing for an opportunity to make their mark in the Knicks’ developmental pipeline. The group includes three players designated as two-way players: guard Jaden Akins and forwards Dalton Knecht and Tyler Nickel.

Those three will be worth watching as camp gets underway. For players on two-way contracts, Westchester offers a chance to get consistent minutes, sharpen their games, and build a case for opportunities at Madison Square Garden.

The full camp roster, with positions as listed in Ian Begley’s tweet:

  • Guards: Jaden Akins, Tre Dinkins III, Mitchell Mascari, Dink Pate, Amir “Primo” Spears, and Paul Zilinskas.
  • Forwards: Tahj-Malik Campbell, David Dixon, Nicholas Jourdain, Dalton Knecht, Oleksandr Kobzystyi, Igor Miličić, Tyler Nickel, and Toby Okani.
  • Forward/center: N’Faly Dante.
  • Center: Liam Robbins.

For those of you hoping there’d be a center here to save the big league club . . . probably not. Still, this crew should make Westchester an interesting watch. Nickel, Knecht, and Pate are sure to treat the crowd to some orange and blue fireworks!

The next step for these players is to turn that training camp invitation into a role. Attention now shifts to which players will distinguish themselves and who head coach DeSagana Diop will carry into the season. The season starts on Friday, November 6, with a road game in Maine.

Go W-Knicks.

Mets reportedly adding Mariano Duncan to coaching staff

According to a report from Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets are adding Mariano Duncan to their major league coaching staff. Sherman writes that Duncan “is expected to help in multiple areas with the position player group.”

Duncan has been a coach in the Mets’ Minor League system since 2019, serving as hitting coach for the formerly Rookie-class Kingsport Mets before taking over as bench coach for the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones in 2021 and later the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies in 2022. Excluding rehab assignments, he has previously coached seven position players on the Mets’ current 40-man roster (including Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez, who played with the Kingsport Mets during their debut pro seasons in 2019).

The 63-year-old enjoyed a 12-year big league career as a utility player from 1985-97, winning a pair of World Series (with the Reds in 1990 and the Yankees in 1996) and notching one All-Star selection (with the Phillies in 1994). He also finished third in Rookie of the Year voting with the Dodgers in 1985.

The Mets still have a few more slots to fill on manager Andy Green’s coaching staff before Spring Training arrives, as they parted ways with a trio of coaches at the conclusion of the 2026 season.

Thunder's NBA title odds drop after Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace injuries

The Oklahoma City Thunder have taken a hit to their NBA championship odds after star Jalen Williams suffered a severe lower leg injury on Sunday, Oct. 25 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Williams, an All-Star and key contributor to Oklahoma City’s 2025 championship, was taken off the court on a stretcher late in the Thunder’s 108-101 victory.

The Thunder entered the season as the favorite to win the NBA title in the betting markets, but the injury changes the pathway for Oklahoma City moving forward. Team general manager Sam Presti said both Williams and fellow starter Cason Wallace will need surgery.

Williams has a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle on the left side, while Wallace has a labral tear in his left shoulder. Presti did not provide a timeline for either Williams' or Wallace's return.

As of 7:17 p.m. ET, Oct. 26, the Thunder’s title odds lengthened to +347 from +238 on Oct. 24, per BetFinder’s consensus. That shift dropped Oklahoma City behind the San Antonio Spurs, who became the new championship favorite at +290.

The Thunder's odds had already lengthened to +309 earlier Monday, before Presti's press conference detailing the extent of the injuries.

In implied probability – the likelihood of winning suggested by betting odds – Oklahoma City fell 7.2 percentage points from 29.6% to 22.4%. That’s the largest peak-to-trough decline of any NBA team in BetFinder data dating to July 7.

The Miami Heat have experienced the next-largest drop, falling 3.4 percentage points from their July 22 peak to their Oct. 26 low. San Antonio also fell 3.4 points between its July 8 peak and Oct. 25 low.

No other team has seen a peak-to-trough decline exceeding two percentage points.

Oklahoma City’s change came over just two days. By comparison, Miami’s decline stretched from late July into October, while San Antonio’s peak and subsequent low followed a similar trend. The timing makes the Thunder’s slide especially abrupt.

Despite the injury to Williams and Wallace, Oklahoma City still has a stacked roster, led by two-time and defending MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, who ranked second in last season’s defensive player of the year honors. Holmgren is dealing with right patellar tendinitis, however, and will miss the Thunder's game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday, Oct. 26.

And with that in mind, bettors still give the Thunder a just over one-in-five shot at the title, per implied probability.

The third-ranked team in championship odds is the LeBron James-led Philadelphia 76ers at +925. No other team has odds shorter than +1000, while the defending champions New York Knicks sit right at that line.

Cincinnati Reds links – Arizona Fall League, Winter League standouts

CHATTANOOGA, TN - SEPTEMBER 13: Alfredo Duno #44 of the Chattanooga Lookouts uses a tiny camera prior to the game between the Rocket City Trash Pandas and the Chattanooga Lookouts at Erlanger Park on Sunday, September 13, 2026 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The World Series hit pause on Sunday, yet tonight (Monday) will feature the Tampa Bay Rays playing host to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 down by the bay. Yet while the big league Cincinnati Reds sit idle as their peers determine who gets to claim the title of World Champs, several of the top prospects in their farm system have been plying their trades all over the place in preparation for a (hopefully) big step forward in 2027.

Over in the Arizona Fall League, outfielder Yerlin Confidan is fresh off a week to remember with the Peoria Javelinas. The toolsy 23 year old hit .255/.332/.405 in 527 PA split between High-A Dayton and AA Chattanooga during the regular season in 2026, the 15 homers he socked in total perhaps an understatement of the overall top-tier power he possesses in his long, left-handed swing. That power has been playing up in-game in AFL play, though, and last week alone he went 7 for 12 with 4 runs, a pair of doubles, a triple, and a dinger, with MLB Pipeline noting that he hit a trio of balls in play in excess of 110 mph off the bat. Overall he owns a 1.097 OPS across 42 PA to start AFL play in what’s becoming a bit of a breakout party for him.

Confidan is in the lineup for Peoria today playing LF and batting cleanup.

Down in the Venezuelan Winter League, 20 year old stud catching prospect Alfredo Duno is holding his own quite well. As Doug Gray noted over at Redleg Nation, Duno became the youngest player in the league to homer so far this campaign when he swatted a homer on Friday night – and one of only two 20 years olds who’ve homered in that league in the last two years. There’s video of said blast, too.

Over in the Dominican Winter League, Noelvi Marte has seemingly found his groove again with the Gigantes del Cibao. After finally, mercifully being optioned back to AAA Louisville mid-August after a long run of poor form, said poor form dogged him at the minor league level, too. He hit just .273/.291/.374 in 103 PA from that point through the end of the AAA season, logging just a lone dinger in the process. However, this October has seen him turn 25 years old and go right back to mashing, and as of Monday morning he’s the owner of a .400/.424/.567 line across 33 PA to begin DOWL play. That includes this mammoth blast over the tall wall in CF from yesterday:

The Gigantes sport a roster full of recognizable names, including the likes of Marcell Ozuna, Nomar Mazara, Agustin Ramirez, and old friend Aristides Aquino. Also on the roster is promising Reds rookie Carlos Jorge, though he’s off to a bit slower start than Noelvi. He’s gone just 2 for 18 with a pair of walks and 9 K through his first 8 games played, but one of those hits was a 2-run blast over that same tall wall in CF last week:

MMBets: Dallas will need discipline to beat the Miami Heat

The Dallas Mavericks are in Miami playing their old rivals, the Heat, as they look for their second win of the year. Miami made a huge splash over the offseason trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but have not seen the fruits of their labor thus far. They have yet to win, but despite their hunger, the Mavericks are not going to go down easily. With Cooper Flagg looking good to go, Dallas can catch Miami with their pants down if they make shots early. Given the Mavericks’ center rotation, this will be Dusty May’s first true test of how he can scheme a win. It should be a chess match against one of the NBA’s longest-tenured coaches, Erik Spoelstra.

Game intangibles

Dallas Mavericks (1-2) at Miami Heat (0-3)

Tipoff: 6:40p CT at the Kaseya Center, Miami, FL.

How to watch: The game will be televised locally on KFAA Channel 29, or streaming on MavsTV+ for anyone in the Mavericks media market. For those outside of the viewing area, the game will be on NBA League Pass and NBATV.

Odds via the Fanduel Sportsbook as of 2:00PM CST

Spread: Dallas +7.5 (+100)

Over/Under: 241.5 (-108/-112)

Moneyline: Dallas +225

Player props

Giannis Antetokounmpo to score 35+ points (+172)

Cooper Flagg to record 8+ rebounds (+215)

I think May opts for the “Luka” game plan with Giannis: let him get what he wants and take away the other guys. Miami has very little shooting around him, and letting Antetokounmpo get his 40 in the paint while everyone else is locked up will be key to keeping this close. 

Flagg has 10 rebounds in his last four quarters, as he had five in the second half against Houston and five in the first half against Indiana. If he can put a full game together, this should be an easy over.

Game sides

Dallas +7.5 (+100)

Under 241.5 points (-112)

Dallas has slowed the pace down in their three games. I thought the contest vs Indiana would be run-and-gun, but they kept it to a battle of execution. I think the same goes tonight in Miami. You do not want to let them get out and run; they have the better transition players. I think this will be a close, well-played game, with the Heat victorious 113-109.

St. Louis Blues condemn what they called an antisemitic protest at an NHL game against Vegas

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues have condemned what they called an antisemitic protest during a game last week at Enterprise Center.

Signs that read “Israel Kills” and “Free America from Israel” were held by fans in the stands Thursday when the Blues played the Vegas Golden Knights.

In a statement on Monday, Blues owner Tom Stillman called the signs “vile messages of hate” that were “unfortunate and unforgivable.”

Stillman said the fans who held the banners were ejected from the arena.

The 2026 Freedom Convoy, which said it was responsible for the protest, disagreed with Stillman's characterization of the signs.

“Criticizing Israel is in no way, shape or form antisemitic,” the group said in a statement.

Fantasy Basketball Top 200 Rankings: Historic heater pushes Luka Dončić into the top spot

Last week was an eventful one for elite performances, as some of the NBA's top players did what fantasy managers expect stars to do. Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped two 40-point stat lines on the Cavaliers in consecutive games, while San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama recorded a stat line in a win over Dallas that only Wilt Chamberlain and Bob McAdoo had before.

But if one player has truly been on fire, it's Lakers point guard Luka Dončić. He's recorded at least 35 points, five rebounds and five assists in each of his last seven appearances. Dončić has scored at least 40 points in four straight games, including a 53-point effort against the Trail Blazers on November 6. His averages during that four-game run: 45.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 7.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 52.4 percent from the field, 45.5 percent from three and 87.0 percent from the foul line.

Thanks to this run, Dončić belongs in the conversation with Gilgeous-Alexander, Wembanyama, and Denver's Nikola Jokić for the most valuable player in fantasy basketball this season, regardless of league format. He did not play in the Lakers' November 8 win over the Pistons, and availability can be a concern for a player who last exceeded 65 games in 2023-24. However, that can't be used as an excuse not to acknowledge Dončić's production.

NBA: Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Lakers
Luka and Victor Wembanyama had elite performances in Week 3, while the Bulls welcome back center Nic Claxton.

▶ WHO’S HOT

G Darius Acuff Jr., Sacramento Kings: Over his last four games, Acuff averaged 25.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 82.4 percent from the foul line. In Sunday's loss to the Heat, he recorded his second 30-point double-double, finishing with 32 points and 10 assists.

C Brook Lopez, LA Clippers: Lopez has started the Clippers' last three games, scoring 20 points in each of the last two. The days of him being an elite fantasy center may be in the rearview mirror, but the 7-footer has proven more valuable than many managers expected before the season began.

G/F Klay Thompson, Miami Heat: Sometimes getting away from home can help a player lock in. Thompson scored at least 19 points in three of the first four games of Miami's five-game road trip, including a 30-point effort in a November 4 win over the Clippers that he capped with a buzzer-beating three. Also, Thompson has made at least seven three-pointers in two of his last three games.

▶ WHO’S NOT

G Payton Pritchard, Boston Celtics: Over the last week, he's shot 33.3 percent from the field while averaging 9.5 points per game. He did finish the week with three straight games in double figures, but fantasy managers expect more from the former NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

G/F Brandon Miller, Charlotte Hornets: In Charlotte's three games last week, Miller averaged 11.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 27.9 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from three. With Kon Knueppel out for at least four weeks and Dennis Schröder (hamstring) out for at least two weeks, the Hornets need more from Miller. Unfortunately, he's dealing with an adductor injury and is day-to-day.

C Kel'el Ware, Milwaukee Bucks: Ware's inconsistency remains an issue, and he struggled throughout Milwaukee's four-game week. The 7-footer averaged 2.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 13.6 minutes per game, shooting 19.0 percent from the field. So much for Ware's ability to provide reliable fantasy value despite coming off the bench.
