Belal Muhammad Has A Huge Stage On Saturday

Belal Muhammad (20-3) has not been defeated in his last seven bouts and has a main-event platform to bolster his standings in the welterweight division.

Terance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans. Paul George (illness) is out with COVID-19, and Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play either, so Mann has the opportunity to exceed his DFS value. The 25-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout 33 regular-season appearances in the starting lineup. While […]

Gadzhi Omargadzhiev Set For UFC Debut

It's not often we have two debuting fighters in Saturday night's co-main event, but that's what we have this weekend with Gadzhi Omargadzhiev (13-0) when he brings his undefeated record into the Octagon.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Memphis. The veteran is dealing with right knee inflammation, although he did manage to practice on Thursday.
