CARDS (13-5)
7:05PM
BRAVES (12-9)
The two favorites to win the National League pennant square off in an early season appetizer. One of these two teams should represent the National league in the World Series come October.

The retooled Mets, with a rejuvenated Pedro Martinez (2-1, 2.75) head into RFK to take on the surprising Nationals Sunday night on ESPN?s ?Game of the Week?. These two teams are arguably the most interesting stories in baseball this season
NBA:
SATURDAY:
BULLS
3:05PM TNT
WIZARDS
Bad blood is flowing between these two teams as Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas accused the Bulls of ?playing dirty?. With both teams so young, could this be the start of a new rivalry?
MAVS
5:35PM TNT
ROCKETS
The ?Mavs? need to get on track immediately as the Rockets have simply shown more heart. Shawn Bradley will be on a few new dime store posters thanks to Tracy McGrady?s highlight reel dunks in games one and two.
CELTICS
8:05PM ESPN
PACERS
The Pacers are in the drivers seat after taking one of the two games in Boston. Watch out for the Pacers who have nearly everyone back from suspension and injury. Reggie Miller wants to go out a winner!
SPURS
10:35PM ESPN
NUGGETS
Denver seems to have the advantage in this series up 1-0 right now and Tim Duncan and the Spurs are starting to look rusty. Could this be the year that the Nuggets really shine?
SUNDAY:
PISTONS
1:05PM ESPN
76?ERS
The 76ers look like a beaten team down 0-2, but things may be different now that they are at home. Never count out a team that has Allen Iverson at the point.
HEAT
3:35PM ABC
NETS
The ?Big Diesel? (Shaquille O?Neal) breaks down and the Heat are able to pull another hall of fame center off their bench who throws up 21 points and 11 rebounds. Unfair!
SUNS
8:05PM TNT
GRIZZLIES
The Suns look like the team to beat at this point, but don?t forget that the Grizzlies are one of the few teams that play defense in the NBA. Did you know that the Grizzlies have been able to contain the Suns for the most part this season, with the under going 3-1 in four games played this season?
SONICS
10:35PM TNT
KINGS
The Sonics have very quietly had a great season and have the Kings on the ropes, up 2-0 in the series. Do the Kings miss Chris Webber right now?
