NBA:
HEAT
WIZARDS
It appears that the clock is about to strike 12:00am for the Cinderella Wizards. The Heat lead this series handily and the Wizards have no answer for Shaquille O?Neal.
SPURS
SONICS
Again the newcomer to the playoff scene would seem to be on their way out. The Sonics have given all they have but the Spurs appear to have hit their playoff stride.
PISTONS
PACERS
This is as an intense of series as you will find. The ?Brawl? is still fresh in peoples minds and tension runs high!
SUN
MAVERICKS
The Mavericks come home trailing in this series and will be desperate to change the momentum. Watch for the ?Mavs? to tie the series up at home.
MLB:
BRAVES (21-12)
4:10 PM EST
DODGERS (20-12)
Two first place teams square off early in the season in what could be a preview of the NL playoffs. The ?Bravos? bring arguably the best starting rotation in baseball to L.A. in Mike Hampton (4-1, 2.05), John Thomson (3-2, 3.55), John Smoltz (3-3, 3.05) and Tim Hudson (3-2, 3.40). The Ddogers are led by the bog old bats of Milton Bradley (7HR, 18RBI, .331) and Jeff Kent (8HR, 27RBI, .325).
GIANTS (16-16)
8:05PM EST ESPN
ASTROS (12-20)
In what must have looked like a sweet Sunday night ?ESPN Game of the week? the Giants are faltering without Barry Bonds and ace Jason Schmidt has been disappointing. The ?Stros? have plenty of pitching in Roger Clemens (2-1, 1.10), and Andy Pettitte (2-3, 3.33) but need to get the bats working!
ORIOLES (21-11)
3:05PM EST
WHITE SOX (24-9)
Another first place match-up sees the White Sox and their tremendous 5 deep rotation of Jon Garland (6-0, 2.42), Mark Buehrle (5-1, 3.78) Freddie Garcia (3-2, 3.21), Jose Contreras (1-0, 3.18) and ?El Duque? Orlando Hernandez (4-1, 2.91) host the O?s and the big bats of Miguel Tejada (10HR, 36RBI, .348) and Brian Roberts (10HR, 289RBI, .369).

HOT PROPS:
?STRAIGHT UP? PAULA ABDUL SOLD DOWN THE RIVER BY "COLD HEARTED SNAKE".
The recent scandal involving the ?Vibeology? between Paula Abdul and ex-American Idol contestant Corey Clark has led to much speculation that Abdul?s contract (Which expires after the current season.) will not be renewed or that she may step down after this season. Betcom.com has decided to put up betting odds on whether or not Abdul will return in 2006. A Hollywood insider close to betcom.com said Abdul has had enough of the constant speculation over her drug use, relationship with Simon Cowell, and now her ?Opposites Attract? relationship with young soul singer Corey Clark?..What do you think?
