Victor Wembanyama is 22 years old and already has a signature playoff series. He went for 41 points and 24 rebounds in a double-OT Game 1 thriller. Then he dropped 33/8/5/2/3 in a 21-point Game 4 blowout and sat most of the fourth because it was over. Series tied 2-2. SA hasn’t lost three straight all season, 6-3 vs OKC this year. Jalen Williams questionable with hamstring — without him in G4, OKC shot 33%, 18% from three.
|
|
▶ Watch: The 5 PM injury report — Williams’ availability changes the entire shape of this game.

Four teams in 109 years of NHL playoff hockey have come back from 3-0. Colorado is the Presidents’ Trophy winner (55-16-11), was 74-1 holding multi-goal leads until Vegas ripped off five unanswered in G3. MacKinnon took puck to right knee in G3, status uncertain.
|
|
▶ Watch: The pre-game skate — if MacKinnon is on the ice, Colorado lives. If he’s not, 55 regular-season wins might end tonight.

Atlanta’s record — best in baseball. Spencer Strider takes the mound at Fenway tonight against Ranger Suarez.

Both bullpens ran 13 innings yesterday. Every high-leverage arm threw. Now they play again. Jax and Baz are fresh but the arms behind them are not. Managers need starters to go deep out of necessity. Tampa is 34-17, best record in baseball.
|
|
▶ Watch: Innings 5-7 — that’s when the fatigue shows.

Oracle Park forecast 19.2 mph winds NW, blowing out toward right-center. 58°F, clear. Oracle is normally a pitchers’ park — except when the wind flips. Rodriguez and Mahle both rely on keeping the ball in the park.
|
|
▶ Watch: Any left-handed bat pulling toward right-center.
