In San Antonio, the Spurs are riding a wave of momentum heading into Game three against Oklahoma City Friday night, but there's a real concern in the locker room. Rookie Dylan Harper is a game-time decision with a right adductor injury, and his status could flip this series on its head. Worth watching closely.
Speaking of the Thunder, here's a number that tells a story — for the first time in thirty-three playoff games spanning two full years, Oklahoma City enters tonight as underdogs. San Antonio opened as favorites, and that shift in the betting lines reflects just how much confidence the basketball world is putting behind the Spurs right now. OKC hasn't worn this label in a long time.
Across to the ice, Colorado's Cale Makar has been officially ruled out of Game two of the Western Conference finals against Vegas tonight. That is a massive blow for the Avalanche. Makar isn't just their best defenseman, he's arguably the best defenseman in the entire sport, and asking Colorado to match the Golden Knights without him is a brutal ask.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
