ESPN
DENVER
MINNESOTA vs.
NORTH DAKOTA
For those of you thirsty for some hockey, here it is! No greedy owners, no greedy players, just ice, sweat, hard hits and a love for the game. Surprisingly, the WCHA (Western Collegiate Hockey Association) represents all four teams in the ?Frozen Four?. Defending champions Denver will have it?s hands full with in-state rival Colorado College. The winner of that game faces the winner of North Dakota and Minnesota (Winner of 2 out of the last 3 championships.).
GOLF:
The Masters has already started, but don?t worry we will offer daily head to head match-ups, as well as updated odds to win. Sunday may be the most fun of all as you can bet head to head on the leading players! Here were the odds to win as of Thursday morning:
Davis Love III

+2800
Padraig Harrington

NBA:
Sunday
PISTONS (46-27)
1:05 PM
ABC
HEAT (56-19)
The ?Beasts of the East? match up as Miami led by the ?Big Diesel? Shaquille O? Neal (23 ppg, 10.6 reb) and ?Mighty Mouse? Dwayne Wade (24.5 ppg, 6.9 ast) host the defending world champion Detroit Pistons who are lead by Rip Hamilton (19.4 ppg) and Ben Wallace (12 reb). This game could very well set the tone for the Eastern Conference finals.
LAKERS (33-41)
3:35 PM
ABC
KINGS (46-30)
This is one that must have looked great to the schedule makers before the season, but the reality is the Lakers are not going to the playoffs for just the fourth time since moving to Los Angeles even though?..Or because Kobe Bryant (27.6 ppg) is a one man highlight reel. The Kings have a very well balanced attack led by Peja Stojakovic (20.1ppg) and Mike Bibby (19.5ppg, 6.7 ast).
MLB:
DODGERS
REDS
The ESPN ?Game of the week? has the Dodgers visiting the underrated Reds. It appears the Dodgers are retooling their squad as they let Adrian Beltre, Steve Finley,
Shawn Green, Hideo Nomo and others go via free agency and trade. The Reds have long ball experts Sean Casey (24 HR, 99 RBI, .324), Adam Dunn (46 HR, 102 RBI) and a healthy Ken Griffey Jr. To go along with new staff anchor and lefty Eric Milton!
