Late night Nets! NFL Conference Championship games are clearing up in LA nonetheless, which means folks are gearing up for Nets-Clippers. The Nets will be shorthanded yet again in the first of five on the road.
đ Nets (12-31) @ Clippers (20-24)
â° 9:00 PM ET đ Intuit Dome (Inglewood, CA) đş YES Network
âAs the Nets PR staff noted to ND, the trip west was eventful thanks to the weather in the Northeast⌠but they are now safely ensconced in L.A. where itâs 62 degrees and partly sunny. Nic Claxton and Dayâron Sharpe are going to be in for a fight on the inside tonight. Ivica Zubac is tied for fifth in the NBA in rebounding at a shade over 11 boards per game. Heâs especially tough to deal with on the offensive glass as he captures almost four o-boards a night. To make things more challenging for the Brooklyn duo, Zu is tremendous at the rim.â- Brian

The San Jose Sharks are going to be a very interesting team to watch at the 2026 NHL trade deadline. They have already shown that they are not afraid to be buyers, as they brought in forward Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks earlier this month. Yet, with the team also focused on the future, several of their pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs) have also come up in the rumor mill.
The most notable Sharks pending UFA who has been creating chatter as a trade candidate is defenseman Mario Ferraro. With Ferraro being a steady top-four defenseman who plays a heavy game, there is no question that he has the potential to generate a ton of interest from contenders. But should the Sharks really consider trading him?Â
With the Sharks being in the Western Conference playoff race, trading a defenseman like Ferraro would come with some clear risk. He is one of the Sharks' best blueliners, and there is no question that moving on from him would create a major hole on their defense.Â
Given how important a player Ferraro is to the Sharks' roster, it would make a lot of sense for them to try to extend him before potentially dealing him. At 27 years old, he is right in his prime and could continue to be a great fit on a Sharks club that is on the rise if extended.
However, if Ferraro still does not have an extension once we get closer to the deadline, that is where things could get interesting. He may be too valuable an asset for the Sharks to potentially lose for nothing this off-season through free agency.
Nevertheless, it is going to be intriguing to see what happens between the Sharks and Ferraro this season from here.Â
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) â Stephen Halliday had two goals and an assist, Dylan Cozens also scored twice and the Ottawa Senators routed the road-weary Vegas Golden Knights 7-1 on Sunday night.
Senators goalie Linus Ullmark returned to to the active roster from a personal leave, backing up Mads Sogaard. Ullmark was the 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner.
Halliday scored his second and third career goals, and added the assist for a three-point game in his first season in the NHL.
Fabian Zetterlund, Jordan Spence and Nick Jensen also scored, and Brady Tkachuk had three assists. Sogaard stopped 19 shots.
Rasmus Andersson scored in third period for Vegas, making it 7-1. It was the defenseman'sfirst goal in two games with the Golden Knights following a trade with Calgary.
Vegas played for the third time in four nights. The Knights lost 4-3 at Boston on Thursday night to open a four-game trip, then topped Toronto 6-3 on Friday night.
It will surely go down as one of the more shocking results of the NHL season.
Playing their second game in less than 24 hours, the Ottawa Senators called up minor-league goaltender Mads Søgaard to start against the rested Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday evening.
Somehow, the Sens took down the Knights 7â1 at Canadian Tire Centre (17,025).
Sogaard was named the game's first star, making 19 saves, and had a chance to address the crowd afterward in a live post game interview with TSN. The Great Dane, who's dealt with so many injuries, spoke about how appreciative he was to play again for the fans in Ottawa.
"It's been a really long road back here and a lot of hard work a lot of really hard days," Sogaard told the media after the game. "But I have an amazing support system and they're the ones who helped me to get here. So I'm very thankful to get the opportunity and then super thankful for the guys to play as hard as they did."
Rookie Stephen Halliday led the way offensively with two goals and an assist, though he unfortunately left the game in the third period after being hit into the stanchion near the playersâ bench. Halliday's head struck the stanchion and he fell hard to the ice, requiring some help to get up and head for the locker room.
Brady Tkachuk chipped in with three assists, Dylan Cozens scored twice, and Søgaard, appearing in just his second NHL game of the season, lost his shutout bid with less than five minutes left in the third period on a goal by newcomer Rasmus Andersson.
With the Senators playing the second game of a back-to-back, 37-year-old James Reimer was given the night off, while Linus Ullmark returned to Ottawaâs lineup after missing most of the past month while dealing with mental health issues. He served as Søgaardâs backup.
The Senators are back at it on Tuesday, hosting the Colorado Avalanche.
Everything had to go right for the Lakers down the stretch to beat the Mavericks. With Dallas going on a 6-0 run to start the fourth, LA was down by 14 with just under 10 minutes left.
The comeback that followed as the Lakers beat Dallas 116-110 was improbable given the flow of the game. But they didnât do it by being offensively overwhelming the Mavericks. Instead, they grinded out the win.
Marcus Smart was hustling hard, doing everything he could to help the Lakers, including popping his dislocated finger back in place. Rui Hachimura was hitting clutch baskets to get the scoring going, and Luka DonÄiÄ was relying on his defense, not his offense, to help turn the tables on his former team.
JJ Redick said Luka DonÄiÄ had six-straight stops as the primary defender in the 4th
After the victory, Lakers head coach JJ Redick talked about how Lukaâs defensive commitment was a factor in the game.
âI thought he did a great job containing the basketball, being physical with his first bump outside the bump,â Redick said. âThat was part of it and then the back side with our shifts and our low man and our gang rebound mentality down the stretch allowed us to get stops.â
Itâs no secret that Luka is considered a poor defender. And with the Lakers being a switch-heavy defense, teams can easily target him and look to exploit his flaws.
In the fourth quarter, the Mavs tried to do just that, but Luka more than held his own. Here is a breakdown of the defensive battles he won in that quarter.
11:07 â Caleb Martin misses a 3-pointer after Luka close out
6:55 â DonÄiÄ blocks a Brandon Williams
6:26 â Max Christie misses a runner, contested by Luka
6:01 â Williams attacks the paint, but Luka holds his ground. LeBron James comes in for the steal.
4:44 â Luka forces Cooper Flagg to take a long two, which he misses
1:20 â Flagg tries to penetrate, but Luka denies him
0:41 â Luka sacrifices his body, drawing a charge on Naji Marshall.
Luka might never be an elite defender, but he just needs to use his size and instinct to disrupt and discourage teams from attacking him. In Saturdayâs game, he demonstrated that he can do this.
Steph Curry has already proven it can be done. As his career progressed, he took pride in getting stops late. While Curry would still get picked on from time to time, it became less of a concern as he improved his defense.
Thereâs still a long way to go for Luka to get to the point where teams no longer wish to target him relentlessly in close games. But hopefully, a game like this gives Luka the confidence and desire to reach this level more consistently.
PHOENIX (AP) â Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker will miss at least a week with a sprained right ankle.
Booker will be re-evaluated in a week, the Suns said before Sunday night's game against Miami.
He and guard Jalen Green both went down with injuries in Phoenix's 110-103 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.
Booker, a four-time All-Star, went down with five seconds remaining in the third quarter after stepping on the foot of the Hawksâ Onyeka Okongwu. Booker leads the Suns with 25.4 points and 6.2 assists per game.
Green re-injured his right hamstring against the Hawks in his second game since missing 33 games. He was walking without a limp after the game and the Suns hope it won't be a long-term injury.
Sixers coach Greg Shipperd has already appealed to Cricket Australia to amend the schedule, as his side were defeated in the BBL15 final in their second trip west in less than a week.
UPDATE: The Lakers did, in fact, make it out of Dallas, getting through half the battle, at least. The team took off from Dallas-Fort Worth instead of Love Field, allowing them to get out of Dallas when the Mavericks could not.
The Lakers, I'm told, have at last managed to take off and are in the air headed to Chicago for tomorrow night's game against the Bulls.
Their flight was shifted to depart from DFW rather than Love Field, where the Mavericks' flight was stalled today for several hours and⌠https://t.co/R2P5K5nM53
This doesnât mean the Lakers-Bulls go is definitely on for Monday, but it does improve the chances.
Original story follows.
For now, the Lakers appear set on attempting to fly out of Dallas for Mondayâs game against the Bulls in Chicago. However, donât hold your breath.
As a snowstorm rips across much of the south and Midwest, NBA games are being postponed left and right. As of Sunday afternoon, the Lakersâ game was still on with the team set to attempt to fly out of Dallas on later in the day.
Mavericks at Bucks tonight is now officially postponed.
The Lakers, meanwhile, will be attempting this afternoon to fly to Chicago for tomorrowâs game against the Bulls. They also remain in Dallas for the moment. https://t.co/PoyjXawgJx
For obvious reasons, itâs unlikely to expect the Lakers to be able to fly out if Dallas could not while both teams are in the same city. The city theyâre landing in could also factor into this but the Midwest is getting hammered with snow as things stand, so it seems unlikely Chicago would be a viable landing spot.
The NBA has spent Sunday postponing a number of games, including the Mavs-Bucks contest. The Nuggets and Grizzlies game, slated for Sunday, was also postponed. Meanwhile, the Pacers game in Atlanta and the Sixers-Hornets game in Charlotte were both moved to afternoon tips on Monday due to weather as well.
The Lakers are currently scheduled to play the Bulls at 5 p.m. PT. Thereâs a possibility of them moving the game back, but it seems more likely that the game is postponed. The Lakers play on Wednesday in Cleveland after Mondayâs game, so perhaps the game is postponed to Tuesday.
What seems least likeliest right now, though, is the Lakers playing on Monday.
The sky is the limit for Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond, who has not only emerged as one of the club's best players but has also proven to be a blessing in disguise after they inexplicably fell to fourth place in the 2020 Draft Lottery.
Raymond, whom the Red Wings selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, has reached an offensive mark that hasn't been seen since their most recent Conn Smythe Trophy winner in Henrik Zetterberg.
With his assist against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night, Raymond reached 40 assists on the season, becoming the first Red Wings skater since Henrik Zetterberg to record three consecutive seasons with at least 40 assists.
FYI: Lucas Raymond is the first #RedWings skater with three consecutive 40-assist seasons since Henrik Zetterberg, who had five from 2007-08 to 2011-12. pic.twitter.com/yAzNXMHajf
Zetterberg reached the 40+ assist mark in five consecutive seasons from their Stanley Cup-winning campaign of 2007-08 to 2011-12, which was the final season in the career of Hall of Fame defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom.
Not only did Raymond pick up an assist against the Jets, but he also tallied his 18th goal of the season and extended his point-streak to five games.
If Raymond continues on his current trajectory, he's on pace to easily establish what would be a new career-high in points.
Following his two-goal performance in Detroit's previous game, a 4-3 overtime setback against the Minnesota Wild, Raymond attested to how seriously he takes his work and constantly strives to improve.
âEvery year and offseason, you try to take steps towards being a better player,â he explained. âAnd for me, itâs no different. Itâs about being curious and wanting to work on your craft to hopefully see your results.
Iâm just trying to play my game and keep developing.â
The Red Wings, who moved back into first place in the Atlantic Division, continue to reap the benefits of what has proven to be an absolute steal of a selection by GM Steve Yzerman in the 2020 NHL Draft.
The Cleveland Cavaliers could be seeing the return of one of their key bench players. Sam Merrill, who has missed the teamâs last five games with a right-hand sprain, is listed as questionable for Mondayâs game against the Orlando Magic.
Merrill has been dealing with a hand sprain for much of the season. He injured it originally in a November win against the Milwaukee Bucks. This resulted in him missing just over a month of games. When he did return to the lineup, he wasnât pain-free, as head coach Kenny Atkinson said at the time that he couldnât even shake Merrillâs hand after games due to the pain he was in.
Anything bought from the links helps support Fear the Sword. You can also shop all of Homageâs Cavs gear HERE. The link to the new City Edition shirt can be found HERE.
We donât have any further updates on Garlandâs injury beyond what the team released last Sunday. The Cavs said that Garland would be reevaluated in seven to 10 days after suffering a Grade 1 right great toe sprain. That initial timeframe would put the reevaluation happening anytime between now and Wednesday.
Even though the Cavs wonât be fully healthy for their game against the Magic, it would be beneficial to possibly get Merrill back in the lineup. Merrill has the third-best on/off differential on the team this season (+4.7 points per 100 possessions, 75th percentile). Theyâre 16-8 in the games heâs played.
On the season, Merrill is averaging 13.8 points on .470/.455/.882 shooting splits.
The Magic will once again be without their leading scorer, Franz Wagner (ankle), in Mondayâs rematch.
Mitchell Robinson dunks the ball during the second half against the Philadelphia 76ers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on January 24, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Mitchell Robinson asked, and his Knicks teammates listened.
It has been noticeable that, in recent games, they are looking to find him more when heâs rolling to the basket after setting a screen. It has mostly resulted in alley-oops.
âI tell them when weâre watching film, âLook here, Iâm wide open. Throw it to me. I do a little dirty work so reward me,â â Robinson said after the Knicksâ 112-109 win over the 76ers on Saturday in Philadelphia. âThatâs kinda how that is.â

In Year 8, Robinson has yet to develop a polished offensive game. That allows his defender to help off him aggressively when he sets a screen â often for Jalen Brunson.
But if he can be a threat as a roller, it changes that dynamic.
âWhoeverâs guarding Mitch is aggressive,â coach Mike Brown said. âSo if teams keep stepping up and trying to be aggressive on the ball screens, Mitch has to get out quick and heâs gotta look for it at the rim.â
After a bit of a lull for a few games, Robinson is also back to his best on defense and the offensive glass. He neutralized Joel Embiid â particularly in the third quarter, when he held him scoreless â Saturday and grabbed six offensive rebounds.
âOur defensive player was Mitch,â Brown said. âMitch was phenomenal on the offensive glass, but he was really, really good for us defensively. Four deflections. Couple of 50-50 balls. Rebounding the ball really well. Couple of blocks. Big, big night from Mitch, especially on the defensive end of the floor.â

After losing nine of 11 games, the Knicks have won two straight for the first time since late December.
Josh Hart isnât putting too much stock into it.
âIt is good, but also itâs January,â Hart said. âYou canât get too high or too low. I think thatâs the biggest thing. I think thatâs where yâall can write whatever yâall want to write. Three games ago we were turning into a lottery team, and now you guys are like, âOh, theyâre battling the East.â So thatâs for yâall to do. Us, weâre trying to stay levelheaded and not get too high or too low.â
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â The Wienermobiles are coming back for a bite at the Brickyard in May, giving them another chance to relish the spotlight of racing's biggest weekend.
Oscar Mayer announced Sunday all six of its famed street-ready vehicles will compete for the second straight year on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's historic 2.5-mile oval. The Wienie 500 is scheduled for May 22 during the track's annual Carburation Day festivities.
Last year's race was such a hit, organizers wanted to give fans a second round to savor the flavor of a light-hearted competition just two days before IndyCar's marquis race â the Indianapolis 500.
The presentation will have a familiar look for fans who watched last year's inaugural race.
Each Wienermobile will feature toppings representing an American regional favorite while carrying carry custom decals. Drivers will don Hotdogger racing suits while the iconic âWiener Songâ plays and the champ drives into âwieners circle.â
Slaw Dog, which represents the Southeast, will try to prove it is beefy enough to defend last year's crown. Four other regional favorites also are expected to return â Chi Dog (Midwest), New York Dog (East), Chili Dog (South) and Seattle Dog (Northwest).
But the Sonoran Dog may be replaced after failing to cut the mustard in 2025.
Fans can choose the final entrant from a menu of seven possibilities, including the Sonoran Dog, by visiting Instagram in the first âPick Your Dogâ Wienie 500 bracket. Updates will be provided on the Instagram account or on TikTok.
âThe response to the first Wienie 500 was overwhelming, and we heard the fans loud and clear that they were hungry for more,â Kelsey Rice, Oscar Mayer brand communications director said in a statement. âThis year, weâre supercharging the experience, delivering an even bigger, bolder and more unforgettable event that puts the fans at the forefront. With amplified engagement, intensified rivalries and more surprises in store, weâre giving the people what they want â an unparalleled live experience that will leave them craving more.â
On Friday, MLB Pipeline released their annual preseason ranking of the leagueâs top 100 prospects. Five Brewers made the cut, all of whom were also named to Baseball Americaâs Top 100 prospects just a few days earlier.
Since I already briefly profiled each prospect when the Baseball America list came out, I wonât repeat myself. If you want to read a quick profile on each of the prospects, check out that article.
Now, Iâm interested in why the two lists differ; in other words, why did MLB Pipeline rank each prospect lower or higher than Baseball America did?
3. SS Jesus Made (BA No. 4)
Madeâs status as one of the best prospects in baseball is pretty universally agreed upon. Pipeline likes Made more than Cardinals infield prospect JJ Wetherholt, who Baseball America ranked above Made, but the difference between Made and Wetherholt (and Kevin McGonigle, Leo DeVries, and even No. 1 overall prospect Konnor Griffin) is pretty minimal. While none of those shortstop prospects are exactly alike, all of them are seen as having superstar potential and have (so far) lived up to their billing in the minors. Any of those guys could end up being the best big leaguer out of the group.
One reason Pipeline may have ranked Made above Wetherholt is that heâs more likely to stick at shortstop, often considered a âpremiumâ position. Wetherholt will probably move over to second or third base (at least early in his career) because heâs not a better defensive shortstop than the Cardinalsâ current shortstop, Masyn Winn. Milwaukee does have a stud defensive shortstop prospect in Cooper Pratt, but heâs a prospect; Winn just won a Gold Glove. Brewers shortstop Joey Ortiz is also arguably a top-three defensive shortstop in the league, but his bat has left a lot to be desired early in his career.
26. INF Luis PeĂąa (BA No. 47)
PeĂąa is ranked over 20 positions higher than he was by Baseball America. As detailed in the BA article, PeĂąaâs offensive stats took a dive once he was promoted to High-A. Pipeline holds a more optimistic view of that stretch:
âPeĂąa remained aggressive in search of contact and High-A pitchers exposed him as allergic to non-fastballs, throwing offspeed roughly 60% of the time after his promotion. PeĂąa moved so quickly he needed exposure to that quality of stuff, but now, itâs on him to adjust back.â
The other thing holding PeĂąa back, for now, is his defense. While heâs fast, has good range for his size, and has an above-average arm, he showed a tendency to âlet balls slip by or⌠sail throws.â His eventual home may be at second or third base.
PeĂąa is pretty raw, very young (turned 19 in November), and is still developing, so thereâs a lot of projection involved in predicting his potential future outcomes. Still, he has the tools to be a top 10 prospect on this list someday â ostensibly part of the reason heâs ranked so highly.
51. SS/2B/OF Jett Williams (BA No. 71) & 64. SS Cooper Pratt (BA No. 50)
While Pratt (Pipeline No. 64) was ranked higher than Williams (Pipeline No. 51) on BAâs list, their places are reversed here. Pratt is a better defender and might have more overall upside if his bat develops as hoped, but thatâs far from a certainty.
Pratt got on base at a solid clip last year (.343), but his batting average (.238) and slugging percentage (.348) still leave something to be desired. Williams (.828 OPS, 17 HRs) had a much better offensive season than Pratt (.691 OPS, 8 HR) did last year. Williams is also fast (clocking sprint speeds above 30 ft/second), a great baserunner, and incredibly versatile. Heâs played at least 30 minor league games at three different positions (shortstop, second base, and center field). Pipeline sees Williams as a âgood fit in a Milwaukee organization that highly values short, speedy types up the middle.â Since Pipeline tends to weigh current production and proximity to the big leagues a bit more heavily than Baseball America, it makes sense that Williams is ranked higher than Pratt.
For what itâs worth, the âshortâ thing feels like a strange inclusion to me. Other than Caleb Durbin (who isnât normally an up-the-middle player for the Brewers), none of the Brewersâ middle infield and center field options are even that short. Joey Ortiz is 5â10â, Brice Turang is 5â11â, Jackson Chourio and Blake Perkins are listed at 6â even. Garrett Mitchell is 6â2â. Milwaukee didnât trade for Williams because of his diminutive (5â6â) stature; they traded for him because they value fast, athletic, defensively capable players who can get on base.
100. Brandon Sproat (BA No. 81)
Pipelineâs Mr. Irrelevant is a prime pitching lab candidate. Sproat has great stuff; Pipeline gives him a 60-grade slider and a 55-grade curveball and changeup. Heâs ranked this low because he had an underwhelming season in Triple-A last year (4.24 ERA) and didnât pitch any better in four September appearances with the Mets (4.79 ERA, albeit with 17 Ks in 20 2/3 innings pitched). Heâs also 25 and will be 26 by next yearâs playoffs.
The acquisition of Sproat gives me Quinn Priester vibes. Both were highly-drafted prospects with great stuff who struggled during their first tastes of the big leagues. Priester put together a great season with Milwaukee last year; hopefully, Sproat can do the same. If any team can get the most out of him, itâs the Brewers.
As I said in the Baseball America article, I have a breakdown of both Williams and Sproat coming soon⌠stay tuned.
BOSTON â The Celtics could be without Neemias Queta when they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Queta has been dealing with an illness since Friday, but heâs played through it, logging 28 minutes on Friday in Brooklyn and 24 minutes on Saturday in Chicago.
In addition to Queta, Josh Minott, who has been sidelined with a left ankle sprain since January 3rd, has been upgraded to questionable. And, Jayson Tatum continues to be listed as out as he recovers from a right Achilles repair.
Jaylen Brown, who has been dealing with hamstring tightness, is off the injury report.
Celtics Injury Report vs. Portland (1/26):
Josh Minott â Left Ankle Sprain â QUESTIONABLE Neemias Queta â Illness (Non-Covid) â QUESTIONABLE Jayson Tatum â Right Achilles Repair â OUT
The Trail Blazers have a far lengthier injury report than the Celtics: Deni Avdija is questionable with a lower back strain. At the same time, former Celtic Robert Williams is questionable with left knee injury management. Williams has yet to lace up against his former team since being traded to Portland three years ago.
Former Celtic Jrue Holiday, who appeared in just 18 games this season, is available and will make his return to TD Garden.
Last time the two teams faced off in late December, the Blazers pulled out a 6-point victory.
The Celtics and Blazers will face off for the second and final time this season
The Celtics are fresh off a last-second loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night, and will look to bounce back on Monday against the Blazers. The Blazers are coming off a 12-point loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday.
The Celtics have won 5 of their last 10 games, and currently have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference at 28-17. They have the second-best net rating in the league (+7.2) and the best offensive rating (+121.2). They have the 12th-best defensive rating (+114).
The Blazers have won 7 of their last 10 games and hold the 9th-best record in the Western Conference at 23-23. They have the NBAâs 21st-best net rating (-1.6), 21st-best offensive rating (113.5), and 18th-best defensive rating (115.1). Theyâve been led by Deni Avdija (26 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists per game), Shaedon Sharpe (21.9 points, 4.6 rebounds), Jerami Grant (19.2 points), and Jrue Holiday (15.4 points, 7.1 assists).
The Cavs executed their defensive gameplan perfectly in their first meeting on Saturday. Cleveland packed the paint and forced a bad Magic team to beat them from behind the arc. They werenât able to do so as they went 11-40 (27.5%) from three and were held to just 105 points as a result.
Weâll likely see the Cavs use the same strategy again on Monday.
The Cavaliers also benefited from a superb showing from Donovan Mitchell. He scored 36 points in the win as Orlando wasnât able to keep him out of the paint.
