Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Cedi Osman tied a career high with 29 points and matched a franchise record with perfect 7-for-7 shooting from deep in Sunday's 122-99 blowout win over the Clippers.

Jaccob Slavin Remains Out Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game Sunday versus Boston.

Slavin has notched 15 points in 45 games […]

Trent Frederic Questionable For Sunday

Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic suffered a lower-body injury versus Florida on Saturday and his status for Sunday's clash with Carolina is questionable.
