For weeks, the teams that make up the 68-team Men’s NCAA Tournament bracket have been a source of constant speculation, prompting heated discussions revolving around NET rankings, Quad One games and Wins Above Bubble.

For nearly half of the field, though, there isn’t a debate about whether they should be included.

March Madness bubble winners, losers: 1 bid stealer lives, another fades away

The NCAA tournament rewards automatic bids to the champions of each of the 31 Division I conference tournaments. It’s a setup from which much of March’s madness comes, with small schools from the smallest conferences earning a chance to try to stun national powerhouses on the biggest, brightest stage their sport has to offer.

In the two weeks leading up to Selection Sunday, schools from across the country compete in conference tournaments, with a spot in the Big Dance on the line. For many of those leagues, it’s the only and only bid that’s available.

With the start of the tournament approaching, who has locked up those coveted spots? Here’s a look at who has earned automatic berths to the 2026 men's NCAA Tournament:

Kings reportedly signing former top prospect Killian Hayes to two-year contract originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Killian Hayes reportedly is staying in Sacramento.

The Kings are signing the 24-year-old guard to a two-year contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Sunday, citing Hayes’ agent Yann Balikouzou of LIFT Sports Management.

Hayes is a former No. 7 overall pick by the Detroit Pistons in the 2020 NBA Draft. He signed a 10-day contract with the Kings on Feb. 23, followed by a second 10-day on March 5. Now, Sacramento is set to lock him up for the next two seasons as the team deals with a barrage of injuries.

Across 10 games (one start) this season with the Kings, Hayes is averaging 3.8 points, 3.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes, while shooting 26.9 percent from the field and 20.8 percent from 3-point range.

Sacramento now will hope to be rewarded for giving a former top prospect in Hayes a second chance in the NBA.

Here’s where the Wizards are at this point: losing by 11 to the Boston Celtics feels almost like an achievement. Most of the relative narrowness of that margin was due to Boston bricking open and wide-open threes they normally make, some working out of kinks related to Jayson Tatum’s return to the lineup, and probably a little Boston slacking off, but being almost kinda-sorta close to being almost competitive towards the end was…umm…something?

There was stuff in this game that I don’t recall ever seeing before. For example, Washington was +15 from three-point range in the first quarter and exited the period trailing by two.

Boston was so dominant on the boards, the broadcast team sent their stats guy to research the biggest single-game rebounding differential in franchise history. The Celtics were “only” =17 on the glass last night — well short of the franchise record (+52 during the Bill Russell era — Boston had 112 rebounds in that one game, believe it or not).

Washington’s defense was so bad, it revealed the “getting to watch good basketball” privilege enjoyed by Boston fans and analyst Brian Scalabrine. Scalabrine was baffled by Washington “choosing” not to defend Neemias Queta after the center went to help.

Several times, Scalabrine said he’d never seen a defense like the one Washington was playing — with no one cracking back to pick up the big. It was kinda cute that Scalabrine thought that was by design and not simply Washington defenders repeatedly blowing rotations they should be making.

The Wizards largely fixed the issue at halftime, by the way. Presumably the coaching staff reminded players to try a little.

The game revealed the oceanic distance Washington needs to cover to become a contender. Boston out-smarted, out-worked, and out-executed the Wizards all night long. The only thing keeping the final margin under 30 was the Celtics having an off night shooting the ball.

Thoughts & Observations

• The first defensive possession game me some hope — Bilal Coulibaly blocked a Jaylen Brown attempt to bully-ball a bucket. The defensive intensity didn’t last.
• Jayson Tatum looked pretty damn amazing considering he’s less than 10 months removed from tearing an Achilles. That injury used to be career-ending, or massively career-diminishing. Modern sports medicine is downright miraculous.
• The possession ending at 9:54 in the first quarter is a good example that illustrates Scalabrine’s point that Washington just didn’t guard the big man when their center helped. It’s not scheme, though — it’s failure to execute. On the play, Washington seemed to switch a high pick-and-roll. Sarr took Brown and Coulibaly seemingly having responsibility for Queta. Then Coulibaly suddenly blitzed Brown, giving Washington three defenders on two guys 25 feet from the basket (Trae Young was lurking there because Sam Hauser was coming up for a Spain screen. Washington had two guys low — Will Riley on Tatum in the strongside corner (he correctly stayed home on Tatum), and Tre Johnson on Derrick White in the weakside corner. Johnson didn’t move until the ball was already reaching Queta, and his “help” was a pointless flyby swipe at the ball. Again, that’s not scheme — the responsibilities were clear. Johnson just didn’t notice what was happening.
• Another? At 4:18, Sarr helped on a Tatum drive. I first thought no one rotated to help on Queta’s roll, but what actually happened was worse. Bub Carrington picked him up, and then just left him to run out and defend the weakside corner. I have no idea why he abandoned a seven-footer standing under the basket.
• So, I was about to add Boston’s announcers to the list of mis-pronouncers of Tristan Vukcevic’s name. But, I got curious at the persistent and consistent mispronunciation, so I googled it. And, the NBA’s official pronunciation guide — one where the players say their own names — has Vukcevic saying his name is Vook-chevitch. I stand corrected and apologize to all the announcers I’ve criticized along the way.
• Boston had many, many beautiful possessions in this game — great examples of teamwork, quick actions, and passes to create good shots, which they then missed because off night. A few examples, if you want to watch (use the official play-by-play on NBA.com)
  • 10:13, second quarter
  • 6:37, second quarter — a dribble handoff, a screen, a ghost screen, and a roll. Simply not guardable, even by a good defensive team.
  • 2:35 — A Spain pick-and-roll produces a Queta dunk.
• Boston’s Spain pick-and-roll sets are so fun to watch. They’re fast, varied, and brutal to defend. They mix in misdirection, real screens, ghost screens, rolls, pops, and drives. Joe Mazzulla’s system is superb.
• In the third quarter, Coulibaly had an impressive drive — Tatum couldn’t stay with him, and Queta couldn’t get there fast enough. Coulibaly missed the layup, but the turbo speed was cool to see.
• Jaden Hardy scored 12 points on five shots in just 15 minutes of action.
• Jamir Watkins competed on defense and hit shots.
• Vukcevic pumped in 22 points in 20 minutes, including six threes. Tanktacular moment: Vukcevic hit his sixth three, and moments later got replaced in the game by Anthony Gill. LMAO.

Four Factors

Below are the four factors that decide wins and losses in basketball — shooting (efg), rebounding (offensive rebounds), ball handling (turnovers), fouling (free throws made).

The four factors are measured by:

• eFG% (effective field goal percentage, which accounts for the three-point shot)
• OREB% (offensive rebound percentage)
• TOV% (turnover percentage — turnovers divided by possessions)
• FTM/FGA (free throws made divided by field goal attempts)

Stats & Metrics

PPA is my overall production metric, which credits players for things they do that help a team win (scoring, rebounding, playmaking, defending) and dings them for things that hurt (missed shots, turnovers, bad defense, fouls).

PPA is a per possession metric designed for larger data sets. In small sample sizes, the numbers can get weird. In PPA, 100 is average, higher is better and replacement level is 45. For a single game, replacement level isn’t much use, and I reiterate the caution about small samples sometimes producing weird results.

POSS is the number of possessions each player was on the floor in this game.

ORTG = offensive rating, which is points produced per individual possessions x 100. League average so far this season is listed in the Four Factors table above. Points produced is not the same as points scored. It includes the value of assists and offensive rebounds, as well as sharing credit when receiving an assist.

USG = offensive usage rate. Average is 20%. Median so far this season is 17.7%.

ORTG and USG are versions of stats created by former Wizards assistant coach Dean Oliver and modified by me. ORTG is an efficiency measure that accounts for the value of shooting, offensive rebounds, assists and turnovers. USG includes shooting from the floor and free throw line, offensive rebounds, assists and turnovers.

+PTS = “Plus Points” is a measure of the points gained or lost by each player based on their efficiency in this game compared to league average efficiency on the same number of possessions. A player with an offensive rating (points produced per possession x 100) of 100 who uses 20 possessions would produce 20 points. If the league average efficiency is 115, the league — on average — would produced 23.0 points in the same 20 possessions. So, the player in this hypothetical would have a +PTS score of -3.0.

Players are sorted by total production in the game.

Austin Reaves doesn’t practice that shot. But like so many of his athletic exploits, somehow a perfect missed free throw just comes naturally to the Lakers guard.

Reaves' expertly executed missed free throw, offensive rebound and difficult tying floater with 1.9 seconds remaining in regulation spurred the Lakers to a thrilling 127-125 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

While Luka Doncic had 30 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists and the winning shot in overtime, Reaves had a team-high 32 points and the biggest rebound of the game.

With the Lakers down by three with 5.2 seconds left, Reaves was fouled and made the first free throw. He said he was “not very” confident when he received instructions to miss the second.

Coach JJ Redick set the play up to miss it to the right side because that was supposed to be the side with just one defender. When only Nikola Jokic lined up to Reaves’ left, he switched the plan.

“I thought if I threw it fast enough, that Jokic wouldn’t have the time to get his hands up to grab the ball,” Reaves said.

Reaves chucked up a line drive that ricocheted off the front of the rim and toward his left. Deandre Ayton screened Jokic away from the rebound, Reaves chased it down, turned, drove baseline and tossed up a one-legged floater that went in. The game went to overtime after Denver guard Jamal Murray’s half-court prayer bounced off the backboard at the buzzer.

“That execution was perfection,” said Doncic, who clenched both fists when Reaves’ shot dropped softly through the net.

No one practices missed free throws, said LeBron James, who had 17 points, five assists and one clutch full-extension dive to save a loose ball in the fourth quarter. The unfamiliarity with the play makes it that much harder to execute.

But Reaves, who excels at nearly every sport he attempts, including golf, bowling, tennis, pickleball and table tennis, just has great touch, Redick said with a shrug.

Reaves said he did pull off a similar feat this summer in a pick-up style, five-minute game when he collected his own missed free throw and hit a reverse layup to tie it.

“That’s one in a 100 in the NBA,” Nuggets coach David Adelman said.

Those odds couldn’t be much longer than the ones Reaves already beat to get to this point.

The under-recruited, undrafted Arkansas native is in the midst of a career year. He is averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. He was bound to make his first All-Star Game before being sidelined for more than a month because of a calf injury. With the Lakers surging up the Western Conference, moving into third place Saturday with their fifth straight win and their eighth in the last nine games, Reaves has three consecutive 30-point games. He is shooting 55.8% from the field in the last four games, a stretch that included significant wins over playoff contenders in the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Nuggets.

Reaves became the 46th undrafted player in NBA history to reach 5,000 career points this week, eclipsing the mark in Thursday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. Teammates including James and Doncic count Reaves among their peers deserving of star status. Reaves balks at the idea.

“Still feels weird,” Reaves said on Thursday of being considered a “star.” “I obviously have delusional confidence in myself when it comes to basketball. But when the game’s over and I’ve got to go home and think about it, I don’t really think of myself in the category of some of these other guys. But I just enjoy playing basketball, playing the right way and continuing to get better. I really just stay low-key and hang out by myself.”

Reaves is “a simple guy,” Redick said. He likes to golf, he likes to hoop — sometimes in that specific order — and he likes his family. Reaves’ face lights up anytime someone brings up his niece Ruby, who was born shortly before the season started.

But Redick knows there’s a “wonderful duality to Austin.” He's a quiet country boy. He's also capable of dropping 51 points in a game like he did against the Sacramento Kings earlier this season. And he's confident enough to shout "I'm him" after making a clutch three-pointer in the playoffs.

After pulling off another iconic play Saturday, Reaves had a more humble message.

“I love you,” Reaves said to the basketball in his hands as the game went to overtime. “I love you.”

Saturday night marked Jayson Tatum’s fourth game back since returning from a ruptured right Achilles tendon. His transition from five-on-five team scrimmages to rejoining the Boston Celtics’ starting lineup was swift, and coach Joe Mazzulla hopes that doesn’t get taken for granted.

Coming back from a nearly 10-month recovery isn’t something that produces immediate results like those Tatum provided before surgery. Yet, Mazzulla already sees the impact Tatum is having.

“I think sometimes these guys get judged by just the points, and some of that is their responsibility,” Mazzulla told reporters, per CLNS Media.

Tatum played 32 minutes in Saturday’s 111-100 win over the Washington Wizards — his most since coming back. He got off to a slow start, missing his first five shots, including three layups. He went into halftime having shot only 2-of-8 with eight points, before finishing with 20 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. The scoring was modest by his standards, but as Mazzulla pointed out, focusing only on points does a disservice to all the other ways Tatum has helped the Celtics.

“He’s rebounding, he’s boxing out, he’s making the right play, getting to space, and doing all the things that impact winning,” Mazzulla told reporters. “So I think that’s more important than anything else.”

More than half of Tatum’s assists went to center Neemias Queta. Using the attention he drew from Washington’s defense, Tatum helped fuel Queta’s career-best first-half start. Queta scored 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting by halftime to keep pressure on the Wizards, courtesy of Tatum’s playmaking.

“He’s giving the game exactly what it needs,” Mazzulla added.

The missed layups, which kept Tatum from finishing with 28 points instead of 20, are typical for a player returning from an injury of his severity. It’s been almost a year since he last played NBA basketball, which is vastly different from drills or five-on-five scrimmages.

But little by little, as he logs more minutes, Tatum feels his comfort returning.

“Compared to the first game, I feel a lot more relaxed,” Tatum told reporters, per CLNS Media. “Obviously, the first game was such a big moment. I think now I’m finding more and more moments where I’m feeling more confident, more explosive. Whether it’s driving or a closeout or reacting to something, it’s just more and more moments each game where I find plays where — maybe it’s not a big play that people notice — but it’s something that I noticed, and it gave me confidence.”

Eight days ago, during Tatum’s return game against the Dallas Mavericks, he missed a one-handed dunk from just two feet away. In the third quarter against Washington, Tatum euro-stepped past Tre Johnson in transition for a slick two-handed dunk.

The difference reflects what he’s working toward, and each game brings him closer to where he wants to be.

With 15 games left in Boston’s regular season and five weeks until the playoffs, Tatum is committed to the plan. The Celtics, now 44-23 after defeating the Wizards, remain a major threat in the Eastern Conference. Having Tatum back in the mix, whether as a scorer, a rebounder, or a facilitator, only makes Boston even stronger moving forward.

“I knew that my minutes would go up a little bit this week, and that’s just the progression,” Tatum told reporters. “I was playing 27 minutes the first three games. They go up a little bit for a week or so to see how you respond. But obviously I’ve been responding really well and feeling great the next day and after the games, and we go from there.”

Tatum added: “Since May 13, nobody’s done more calf raises than me.”

For the time being, Tatum is embracing everything that comes with his return — even the not-so-fun parts. During Boston’s matchup with the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, Tatum hit the deck after getting shoved by Victor Wembanyama in the third quarter. He didn’t think much of it, chalking it up as part of the game.

“You’ve got to enjoy all aspects of coming back to play, not just the fun parts,” Tatum told reporters. “Like getting knocked on your ass and falling is a part of being in the NBA. When (Wembanyama) pushed me, it knocked me off balance, but I laid there for a second like, ‘All right, I’m fine.’ It’s just moments like that where it’s been a while since something like that has happened. So, it is a good feeling of like, ‘I’m back.’”

Alright, let’s do this. The Dallas Mavericks (22-45) travel to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers (41-26) Sunday at 2:30 PM CST in the back half of a home-and-home, after Cleveland routed Dallas 138-105 on Friday—a game that felt about as close as the score suggests. Cooper Flagg had a monster third quarter, and Naji Marshall showed signs of life. Everyone else was a supporting character in a Cavs highlight reel.

Cleveland will be without Jarrett Allen (right knee tendonitis, out) despite earlier reports suggesting his return—the official injury report filed at 2:30 AM puts that to rest. Klay Thompson is doubtful (rest). For Dallas, Gafford and Cisse remain doubtful, and PJ Washington is questionable with a left ankle.

Let’s scan the lines in search of value:

🏀 Fixture: Dallas Mavericks (22-45) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (41-26) 📍 Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse — Cleveland, OH 🕑 2:30 PM CST, Sunday, March 15, 2026 📺 NBA TV / KFAA Channel 29 / MAVS TV

📊 DraftKings Snapshot (as of 3:00 AM CST) Spread: CLE -16.5 (-112) | DAL +16.5 (-108) Total: 236.5 (O -115 / U -105) Moneyline: CLE -1600 | DAL +900

📉 Game Side Lean: Dallas +16.5

Sixteen and a half points is a canyon, and the Mavericks are a team that usually plays too hard to fall into those this season. Granted, they lost by 33 on Friday, but let’s gently set that aside and say the quiet part out loud: this spread is too big.

This is a roster with no quit—no tanking by committee, no mailing it in—just a group of guys playing out the string with something to prove on a nightly basis even when Tankathon wisdom might suggest otherwise. Cleveland, meanwhile, will be without Allen, and is juggling a playoff rotation with Strus working back from a Jones fracture. The Cavs are the better team. They may win by 20. But 16.5 asks a lot of a team that may have one eye on seeding and another on rest, and Dallas has enough scrappers to make the final margin uncomfortable. Back door cover is a real conversation here. Keep it light on this one.

🔮 Total Lean: Under 236.5

This number feels high for a game missing this much frontcourt. Allen out means the Cavs will again be missing an efficient Harden pick-and-roll partner, and the Dallas interior—already a wreck—slows possessions down by necessity rather than design. Friday’s game finished at 243 combined with everything clicking for Cleveland in a blowout. In a closer, messier game with more bodies on the injury report, the pace comes down. Under 236.5 has value.

🎯 Player Props We Like

Naji Marshall Over 24.5 PRA (+103) Marshall had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in 27 minutes Friday—27 PRA and a clear signal that the usage and confidence are back. You don’t wait three more games to confirm a player has returned to form; by then the books have already adjusted. Marshall is Dallas’s most versatile wing with the ball in his hands, and against a Cleveland defense that may be running a looser rotation with playoff positioning in mind, 24.5 is a number he’s capable of clearing. The plus money makes this an easy look.

Dean Wade Over 5.5 Points (+105) Wade has been one of the steadier quiet contributors in Cleveland’s home rotation, consistently clearing this number at Rocket Mortgage when he gets his minutes. This is the kind of low-floor prop that doesn’t make the highlight reel but cashes quietly while you’re watching something else. With Strus limited and the wing rotation stretched, Wade sees a clean path to his usual run. Plus money on a number he clears almost by accident. We’ll take it.

💡 Summary: Dallas +16.5 for a team too stubborn to lose ugly twice in a row. Under 236.5 with the frontcourt carnage on both sides. Marshall returning to form at plus money, and Dean Wade doing Dean Wade things at home. Let’s see if the Caramel Cone was the good kind of harbinger. Dark Cherry Truffle is also a solid pick. Go Mavs. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to sleep dreaming of a shocking Mavs win, an SI joint hat will calm down and ice cream that never expands the waist line. Go Mavs.
