Larry and the Coach open with an in-depth look at SportsLine's NFL Draft coverage. Mike then switches to the NBA injury report, which includes a cavalcade of teams creating issues. They include the Magic, Cavaliers, Hawks, Bulls, Hornets, Celtics, Lakers and Heat. Plus, there is a sharp focus on the Clippers and their top players in a big matchup with the Suns.
The Coach supplies a trio of selections as the SportsLine Plays of the Day. In the UEFA Champions League, he backs PSG and Man City Over 2.5 goals at 3 p.m. ET. The Lakers have Anthony Davis back, so he is endorsing Los Angeles and Washington to go Over 223.5 at 7:30 p.m. ET. He also spotlights the sizzling Matt Severance's recommendation of the Wild -140 over the Blues at 7 p.m. ET.
Mike's featured MLB pick is the Royals -1.5 over the Pirates at 6:35 p.m. ET. "For Mike Minor, the Pirates are the second worst team, just in front of the Tigers, vs. left-handed pitching," he says. "It is a park shift and a league shift. It's a much better pitching environment for Minor. We're also going to factor in the actual weather here. It's actually a strong hitting environment for PNC Park at this time of year. However, it's going to help the Royals' bats significantly more."
Larry is doubling down on Darius Garland to bounce back from a disappointing outing in Magic-Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET. In a great matchup for a point guard, he is looking for Garland to go Over 33.5 points, assists and rebounds, and also Over 2.5 three-pointers. His MLB pick is the Astros -1.5 over the Mariners at 8:10 p.m. ET. History dictates Houston is often a great choice over Seattle.
