Image
There is a giant meteor barreling towards the Earth that is the Toronto Raptors season. Things are dire in Toronto as the Raptors have lost nine of their last 10 games heading into tonight’s road game vs. the Chicago Bulls. To make matters worse, the Raps will be without RJ Barrett, while Immanuel Quickley is doubtful to play.  Do the Raps have value as road pups in this evening's NBA odds? I break down this Eastern Conference matchup and bring you the best bet in my NBA picks and predictions for Raptors vs. Bulls on January 30. Raptors vs Bulls odds Raptors vs Bulls predictions The luster of the Toronto Raptors' trades has dimmed with the team losing nine of its last 10 games, including a 116-110 defeat to the Chicago Bulls on January 18.

Tech3 MotoGP team reveals 2024 livery as Acosta gears up for debut

Image
The 2024 season will mark the sixth for Herve Poncharal’s team in MotoGP as a KTM satellite partner, and second under the GasGas moniker after undergoing a rebrand in 2023. Last year proved to be an immensely difficult year for Tech3, as Pol Espargaro missed the first half of the season due to serious injury and rookie Augusto Fernandez struggled to find his form. The team managed a best result of fourth courtesy of Fernandez at the French Grand Prix, but it has now gone three seasons without a podium. Fernandez was offered a reprieve for 2024 while Espargaro has been moved aside, despite signing a two-year deal, to make way for reigning Moto2 champion Acosta. Acosta was a key figure in the rider market last year and was long-assured a step up to the premier class with KTM. His MotoGP debut comes with much anticipation, having won the Moto3 title in his first season and then Moto2 inside of two campaigns. On Monday, Tech3 unveiled the factory

What is the NBA record of points by a single player in the first half? Who has it?

Image
There was a single game left in the 197-78 season before the playoffs. It would be the last time the Detroit Pistons played at Cobo Arena because, starting the following season, they would be using the new and spacious Pontiac Silverdome. However, the Detroit fans were not sentimental and were not planning to give the fourth-place Pistons a warm farewell in the arena that had been their home since 1961. That same night, two players, one in Detroit and another almost across the United States, made history in the NBA, scoring the most points in the first half, with a few hours of difference between the games. David Thompson On April 9, 1978, 3,482 fans enjoyed a thrilling game between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets on a relaxed Sunday afternoon. David Thompson and George Gervin were engaged in a scoring duel for most of the year, and only 14 points separated them at the top of the league scoring chart heading into their last games that Sunday. Although the Pistons vs Nuggets

Why Arsenal's Gabriel had second header against Crystal Palace ruled as an own goal

TNT Sports presenter Jules Breach had the unenviable job of informing Gabriel Magalhaes he had not scored the first brace of his senior career against Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime. "Ah, pfff," Arsenal 's centre-back sighed. Gabriel towered above Chris Richards to unmistakably thump the Gunners into an 11th-minute lead, wheeling away to gleefully celebrate yet another set-piece goal for the hosts. Shortly before the interval, Gabriel caused more havoc from another corner, wriggling away from Richards again to bundle the ball over the line. Fantasy Premier League fans across the country and beyond began to count up the haul that a pair of goals from a centre-back would bring before the site's official social media account delivered the bad news. Upon review, Gabriel's second header would go down as an own goal by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson. SCOUT: After review, the Goal Accreditation Panel have confirmed Arsenal’s second goal to be an own go

The Miami Heat are finally getting healthier and their push up the Eastern Conference standings continues tonight as they take on the Atlanta Hawks in the latest NBA odds.  Jimmy Butler returned this week after missing seven games with a toe injury and the Heat had won three in a row before getting blown out by Toronto on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Hawks have to be on the list of the NBA’s biggest disappointments this season, and a 17-23 record suggests a shake-up could be coming at the trade deadline. Check out our NBA picks and predictions for a closer look at tonight’s showdown between Southeast Division rivals.

The Premier League players in danger of early AFCON eliminations

Image
The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations is now well underway and the drama is already in full flow in the Ivory Coast. It's been the tournament of the underdog so far, with the likes of Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Angola and Namibia all defying the FIFA rankings to pick up results against African giants. As a result, a number of high-profile Premier League stars are already facing early exits from AFCON, which will likely come as good news to the top-division sides currently without some of their best performers. Here are some of the Premier League players who could be returning to their clubs sooner than expected. Nigeria Nigeria's early exit would be good for Fulham fans / ISSOUF SANOGO/GettyImages It's worth noting that the four best performing third-placed sides in the group stage will also qualify for the knockout rounds, meaning it will be darn difficult for the big hitters to depart AFCON early. However, Nigeria have frequently underachieved at AFCON in the
