thunder pass celtics for franchise record 15th win in a row

Thunder pass Celtics for franchise-record 15th win in a row

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 33 points and 11 rebounds, while the Oklahoma City Thunder broke free from the Boston Celtics to secure a 105-92 score for their franchise-record 15th straight win. 

Oklahoma, which advanced to 30-5, have not lost a match that mattered in the standings since December 1st. The Thunder’s defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup final doesn’t reflect on their record. 

The former Seattle SuperSonics set the team’s previous record in 1996.

Jayson Tatum got 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Boston Celtics. Jaylen Brown scored 21 points, but was scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting in the second half. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored nine points in the first 3 ½ minutes of the game to get Oklahoma an early lead, but the Celtics led 65-55 at halftime. 

The Thunder reduced the deficit to 80-76 at the end of the third quarter and took back control, 81-80, on a pair of free throws by Jalen Williams early in the fourth. 

Oklahoma stayed in control, and consecutive 3s by Lu Duport put them under 100-88 with only two minutes to play. Dort scored 11 points and delivered all his three slots from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter. 

The Thunder held the Celtics to a season-low 27 points in the second half. Boston’s previous was 44.

red sox an ideal destination for arenado

Red Sox an ideal destination for Arenado

Nolan Arenado has a full no-trade clause that has reduced his chances of getting a deal in the offseason. In December, the Cardinals third baseman reportedly obstructed a trade to the Houston Astros. But if the Red Sox go after him, he will say no.

MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam said on Sunday that Boston is a “preferred destination – if not the preferred destination’’ for Arenado. However, the club’s interest in signing him is unclear. 

Early in the offseason, John Denton, beat writer for Cardinals, reported that the Red Sox were one of the six clubs which Arenado will accept a trade from. The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies were the other five. 

Although Boston already has Rafeal Devers as a third baseman, they could move him to first base to create space for Arenado at the hot corner. The eight-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove Award winner is signed through 2027.

Van Dijk focusing on football, says no new deal with Liverpool

Liverpool frontman Virgil van Dijk has disclosed that he may not be signing a new deal with the club. 

Van Dijk will conclude his contract at the end of the season, same as Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. 

Whether the captain stays or leaves within the next few months is not clear yet, even to him. 

While speaking to Sky Sports, he said:  “I don’t think so, but I am calm about it, like I said months ago. 

“We’ll see what happens in the future and at this point I have got absolutely no update.  

“It’s all about at the moment focusing, for me and the team, on Spurs (on Wednesday night). It will be a tough game again, but a good (Carabao Cup) semi-final.”

Ancelotti planning rotations for Deportiva Minera

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says there will be rotations for the club’s Copa del Rey tie at Deportiva Minera.

However, he maintains that his team will win the Deportiva Minera. 

Selection Process:

“We approach this game with the same motivation as always, as it’s an important competition that has brought us a lot of joy over the last few years. We respect our opponents, the shirt and the competition. We’ll try to do our best and get through the tie.”

“Courtois and Rüdiger won’t be travelling. The rest will travel and can play. We’ve played recently and some of them will be tired. I want to give minutes to others who have played less.”

Goal for the Copa del Rey:

“The Copa del Rey isn’t a problem until you’re out of it. When you’re out of the Copa del Rey it’s a problem because Real Madrid try to fight in every competition. The problem will be if we go out of the Copa del Rey. In recent years, we’ve done very well in this competition and playing in the final is a great thing. The aim is to reach the final, as always.”

Cartagonova:

“If the pitch is good, we’re not as likely to have problems and the fans can enjoy a good game. We’ll try to perform well. The time of the year isn’t the most suitable because it’s cold.”

Will Lunin feature in the Copa del Rey?

“He’ll be playing tomorrow. Other than that, I don’t know. Courtois needs to rest and recover properly. Lunin may play in the league, in the Champions League. Lunin may not definitely play in the cup.”

Seven first-team players who will be fielded in the Copa:

“We must respect it and I have no problem with this provision. Of course, it has to be respected.”

  • 1XBet Over/Under: Over 222.5

The Philadelphia 76ers led with 17 points at halftime and progressed throughout the game in a simple 123-94 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Joel Embiid scored 28 points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes. Tyrese Maxey added 18 points while Paul George and Caleb Martin scored 17 for the Sixers who snapped their two-game skid. 

Philadelphia trailed 13-9 when Embiid caught a technical foul. This seemed like a wakeup call and the game went in a different direction afterward. Joel, who missed his first two shots of the match, scored three baskets and ended the quarter with 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting. 

Betting On The Phoenix Suns 

  • 1XBet Spread: +3.5
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.573
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 222.5

The Phoenix Suns had a messy performance in the second half, conceding 40 third-quarter points in a 126-108 road defeat against the Indiana Pacers. Kevin Durant led the Suns with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Meanwhile, Devin Booker scored 20 points in the same arena where he scored 62 against the Pacers. 

Phoenix started the game with the first five points of the second half and used a big 40-point third quarter to gain control. Indiana didn’t trail in the second half. The Suns have lost 7 of 8 and 10 of 12. They recorded 35 assists on 46 baskets and just 6 turnovers while surpassing Phoenix in rebounds (47-37). 

MatchPlug Prediction Philadelphia 76ers VS Phoenix Suns 

The Suns are last in points in the paint, 26th in rebounding and 20th in paint points allowed. This means Joel Embiid consistently dominating inside and Phoenix having no control over him. Since this isn’t a consecutive match, expect 30 and 15 from Embiid. Take the 76ers to win. 

Final Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline.
