PICKS & PARLAYS

The Los Angeles Clippers (30-32) limp into FedExForum on Saturday, March 7, to face the Memphis Grizzlies (23-38), tipping off at 8:00 PM ET on the second night of a back-to-back after one of the most gut-wrenching collapses of the season. LA blew a 25-point lead in San Antonio on Friday, losing 112-116 as Wemby and the Spurs stormed back with an 18-5 run to open the fourth quarter and stole a game that was firmly in LA's control through three. Kawhi Leonard dropped 30 in the loss and watched Nicolas Batum's inbound turnover seal the game with seconds left. Now the Clippers travel to Memphis without Darius Garland (who didn't travel for the road trip due to left toe management) and John Collins (neck strain), facing a Grizzlies squad that has lost nine of twelve but carries enough pace and young firepower to make any spread uncomfortable. Memphis sits at Grizzlies (+5.5) to (+7.5) depending on the book, with the total at 227.

The Golden State Warriors (32-30) head to Paycom Center to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (49-15) on Saturday, March 7, tipping off at 8:30 PM ET on ABC, with both teams dealing with lengthy injury reports that somehow make this game more interesting than a 14.5-point spread suggests. Golden State is clinging to the eighth seed in the West while riding a mini-wave of confidence after Thursday's 115-113 overtime win at Houston, their first road win over the Rockets since last year's Game 7 playoff thriller. OKC has won four straight and seven of eight, sitting comfortably atop the Western Conference with the best record in basketball. The Thunder swept all three meetings this season by margins of 24, 12, and 37 points (that last one at Chase Center, where Golden State's largest home defeat this year was a 131-94 stomping on January 2). Steph Curry remains sidelined since January 30 with a knee injury, Jimmy Butler is done for the year after ACL surgery, and Kristaps Porzingis is questionable after missing six straight with a mysterious illness. On the OKC side, Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, and Isaiah Hartenstein are all ruled out, stripping the Thunder of their second-best creator, their best perimeter defender, and their starting center in one fell swoop. The total sits around 219.5 to 220, and this is one of those games where the outcome is never really in question but the margin, the prop lines, and the individual performances tell a much better story than the final score.

A compelling LaLiga clash awaits as league leaders Barcelona travel to San Mamés to face Athletic Club, who currently sit ninth in the standings. The highly anticipated encounter is set for Friday, March 7, 2026, with kick-off at 8:00 PM GMT, in what promises to be a vibrant atmosphere in Spain.

"Robocop" wants his revenge. Gregory Rodrigues opens the UFC 326 main card tonight in Las Vegas with unfinished business against the man who knocked him cold in 2023.

The UFC 326 main card opener lands tonight in Las Vegas, with veteran lightweight Drew Dober looking to build off his October bounce-back TKO against the quietly resurgent Michael "The Menace" Johnson.
