MassLive's Brian Robb believes there's "no shot" that the Boston Celtics will land Norman Powell ahead of the trade deadline should the Los Angeles Clippers make him available -- the reason being that the Cs would need to give up one of their top six players to make it happen.

Orlando, FL

Before the game, Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said the team would need to work by committee to replace the energy they would lose from Jalen Suggs' absence. Without a doubt, Suggs has been one of the best early stories of the season in the league and for the Orlando Magic. He has been something of a maniac and chaos agent for the Magic as they built one of the best defenses in the league through the early part of the season. He feeds off the energy from the home crowd as much as his hustle plays radiate out from him.

A rather odd rumor surfaced last month when it was revealed that the Cincinnati Reds had interest in signing free agent infielder Jeimer Candelario.

We are a little under five months away from the 2024 NFL Draft kicking off in Detroit. The Steelers did not make any moves before the trade deadline and they hold plenty of picks right now to improve their team. It's possible they could make some moves between now and the draft that could hinder their draft choices in 2024.

Ja'Tavion Sanders has established himself as one of the best tight ends in college football this season. In 2022, he was recognized for his exceptional performance with First-Team All-Big 12 honors and a John Mackey Award semifinalist nomination.

In unfamiliar territory, the St. Louis Cardinals will have a top-10 draft pick going into 2024. With the new MLB Draft Lottery, the odds can work in your favor, or they can work against you. The Cardinals got the short end of the stick and fell to the seventh spot when they were projected to be the 5th overall pick. The Cardinals will most likely miss out on big-name prospects like JJ Wetherholt (West Virginia), Nick Kurtz (Wake Forest), and Travis Bazzana (Oregon State). But the rest of the list is full of high-risk but high-reward talents.

While the Atlanta Braves have gone heavy on beefing up their bullpen this offseason in addition to adding Jarred Kelenic to play left field, the biggest question for the Braves is how are they going to address their starting pitching staff.
