Puck drop is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET Venue: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania TV: TNT / HBO Max / Sportsnet 360 / TVAS Radio: Pittsburgh Penguins Radio Network / Golden Knights Radio / SiriusXM NHL / NHL App
Game Context
The Penguins sit 2nd in the Metropolitan Division with 73 points and are fighting to lock in a top-3 spot in a tight Eastern race. The Golden Knights lead the Pacific Division with 70 points and hold the top wild-card positioning edge in the West. This is the first (and only scheduled) meeting of the 2025-26 season between the non-conference foes. Pittsburgh is playing the second half of a weekend back-to-back after a Saturday matinee loss in New York; Vegas is on the tail end of a short Eastern road swing.
Recent Form
Pittsburgh Penguins (3-1-1 in last 5, 1-game losing streak):
L 2-3 (SO) vs. NY Rangers (Feb 28) — back-to-back fatigue showed in shootout
W 4-1 vs. New Jersey (Feb 26)
W 5-2 at Buffalo (Feb 5, earlier stretch)
L 4-5 (OT) at NY Islanders (Feb 3)
L 2-3 vs. Ottawa (Feb 2)
Penguins are averaging 3.40 GF/G but have been leaky defensively without their captain (2.85 GAA still solid). Home record is strong at 14-8-7.
Vegas Golden Knights (3-2-0 in last 5):
L 2-3 vs. Washington (Feb 27)
W 6-4 at Los Angeles (Feb 25)
W 4-1 vs. Los Angeles (Feb 5)
W 5-2 vs. Vancouver (Feb 4)
L 3-4 at Anaheim (Feb 1)
Vegas is rolling offensively at 3.36 GF/G and has won 3 of 4 on the road recently. The Knights are 14-9-7 away from T-Mobile Arena.
Injury Report
Vegas Golden Knights
William Karlsson (C) — OUT (lower body — out since November 8; no clear return timeline)
Carter Hart (G) — OUT (leg — LTIR)
Brett Howden (C) — OUT (lower body — LTIR)
Alex Pietrangelo (D) — OUT (IR)
Jonas Rondbjerg (RW) — DAY-TO-DAY (undisclosed)
Vegas has adapted by sliding Mitch Marner to center on the top line with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. Adin Hill is expected to start in net.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Sidney Crosby (C) — OUT (leg — IR; sustained at Olympics; expected return ~March 26)
Jack St. Ivany (D) — OUT (hand — IR)
Filip Hallander (C) — DAY-TO-DAY / OUT (leg)
Caleb Jones (D) — OUT (IR-NR)
Huge blow for Pittsburgh without Crosby (27G-32A-59P in 56GP). Evgeni Malkin slides into the top-line center role. Arturs Silovs or Stuart Skinner (who started Saturday) gets the nod.
Key Player Matchups
Top Lines: Eichel-Stone-Marner (VGK) vs. Malkin-Rust-Rakell (PIT) — Eichel (team-leading scorer) exploits the Crosby-less middle; Malkin must carry the load.
Goalie Duel: Adin Hill (.877 SV%, 3.05 GAA) vs. Arturs Silovs / Stuart Skinner (.895+ SV% tandem) — Pittsburgh’s goaltending has been a strength; Hill has been streaky on the road.
Defense/Physicality: Noah Hanifin / Brayden McNabb (VGK shutdown pair) vs. Kris Letang / Erik Karlsson — Letang logs heavy minutes without Crosby; Vegas’ speed tests Pittsburgh’s aging blue line.
Special Teams: VGK PP ranks mid-pack; Penguins PK is elite (84%+) but vulnerable without Crosby’s faceoff/penalty-kill prowess.
Series History
2025-26: First meeting (0-0).
All-time regular season: Penguins lead the season-series history and have never lost a full season series to Vegas since 2017-18.
Last 9 meetings: Penguins 6-3-0.
Recent trend: Pittsburgh is 4-1 in last 5 home games vs. VGK and has covered the puck line in most recent encounters.
Betting Trends
Penguins are 6-3-0 all-time vs. VGK and strong at home (14-8-7) but 1-4 SU/ATS in their last 5 overall.
Golden Knights are 14-9-7 on the road and 3-2 ATS as road favorites this season.
Back-to-back for Pittsburgh: 4-6 SU in such spots this year.
Total has gone UNDER in 7 of Pittsburgh’s last 10 home games and 4 of Vegas’ last 6 road games.
VGK 3-2 SU last 5; Penguins struggling without Crosby (2-3 SU in last 5 without him).

Game Context
The Lakers sit 6th in the Western Conference and are locked into the play-in conversation with a solid home record. The Kings are dead last in the West (15th) and have been in tank mode for weeks, focused on development and lottery positioning. This is the fourth and final regular-season meeting; a Lakers win clinches the season series and keeps LA’s momentum rolling after a dominant road win in Golden State.
Recent Form
Los Angeles Lakers (3-2 in last 5, 1-game win streak):
W 129-101 at Golden State (Feb 28) – blowout behind strong team defense
L 110-113 at Phoenix (Feb 26)
L vs. Orlando (Feb 24, close)
L vs. ? (recent skid)
W vs. earlier opponents
LA is averaging 118+ PPG in wins during this stretch while holding opponents under 110 twice. Home dominance (16-12) and star power make them extremely tough to play against at Crypto.com Arena.
Sacramento Kings (2-3 in last 5):
W 130-121 at Dallas (Feb 26) – road upset with Westbrook and Achiuwa stepping up
L 97-128 at Houston (Feb 25)
W 123-114 at Memphis (Feb 23)
L 122-139 at San Antonio (Feb 21)
L vs. Orlando (Feb 19)
Sacramento is scoring 113.2 PPG but allowing 126.6 in the last five. The offense has flashes without key bigs, but defense remains a major liability (bottom-5 in efficiency).
Injury Report
Sacramento Kings
Zach LaVine (G) — OUT (season – right 5th finger tendon repair)
Domantas Sabonis (F/C) — OUT (season – left knee meniscus repair/back)
Keegan Murray (F) — OUT (left ankle sprain; at least 2 weeks)
De’Andre Hunter (F) — OUT (season – left eye retinal repair)
Dylan Cardwell (C) — OUT (left ankle sprain)
Isaiah Stevens (G) — OUT (G-League two-way)
Russell Westbrook (thigh contusion) is AVAILABLE and expected to play heavy minutes. The Kings are extremely thin up front and in the backcourt, relying on DeMar DeRozan, Westbrook, and fringe rotation players.
Los Angeles Lakers
Rui Hachimura (F) — DAY-TO-DAY (illness) All other key players (LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Anthony Davis if active/healthy per roster context, etc.) are expected to play. No major absences reported beyond Hachimura.
Key Player Matchups
PG/Guard: Russell Westbrook / Dennis Schröder vs. Luka Dončić / Austin Reaves — Westbrook’s veteran energy and burst provide Sacramento’s best spark, but Dončić’s playmaking and scoring (still elite) should overwhelm the depleted Kings backcourt.
Wings: DeMar DeRozan vs. LeBron James / Rui Hachimura (if active) — DeRozan (team-high ~18-20 PPG, mid-range mastery) carries the Kings’ offense; LeBron’s two-way dominance and size create a nightmare matchup.
Frontcourt: (thin Kings rotation – Achiuwa, etc.) vs. Anthony Davis / Lakers bigs — Without Sabonis and Murray, Sacramento has no answer for Davis’ rim protection, rebounding, and scoring inside. Expect LA to dominate the glass and paint.
Bench/Depth — Lakers have far superior rotation depth and experience; Kings’ bench is scraping the bottom of the roster.
Series History
2025-26 season: Lakers lead 2-1
Oct 26: Lakers 127-120 at Sacramento (Reaves career-high 51)
Dec 28: Lakers 125-101 vs. Sacramento (Dončić 34, James 24)
Jan 12: Kings 124-112 vs. Lakers (DeRozan 32)
Lakers have won 4 of the last 5 meetings overall and are 2-1 ATS this season vs. Sacramento.
Kings covered as home dogs in January but have been blown out in LA recently.
Betting Trends
Lakers are 16-12 at home and strong favorites (covering many double-digit spreads lately).
Kings are 5-27 on the road, 2-8 in last 10 overall, and have lost 13+ straight in some stretches earlier.
Lakers 3-2 ATS as 10+ point favorites this season; Kings 1-4 ATS as 10+ dogs.
Total has gone UNDER in 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings.
Sacramento on the road after a back-to-back or travel has been particularly poor.
Game Odds
Sacramento Kings 231.5
Los Angeles Lakers – 12.5

Tipoff is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET (6:00 PM PT) Venue: Intuit Dome, Inglewood, California TV: FanDuel Sports Network SoCal / KTLA (Clippers) | Gulf Coast Sports / Pelicans+ (Pelicans) Radio: New Orleans Pelicans Radio Network / Clippers Audio Network / SiriusXM NBA Radio / NBA League Pass
Game Context
Both Western Conference teams are battling for positioning in a crowded middle-to-bottom pack. The Clippers sit 10th and remain in the play-in hunt after a mid-season roster overhaul (trading James Harden and Ivica Zubac, adding Darius Garland—who is still sidelined—and Bennedict Mathurin). The Pelicans are 13th and mathematically alive but realistically focused on development and momentum heading into the final stretch. A Clippers win keeps them firmly in the 9-10 mix; a Pelicans victory (their 5th straight) would be a massive confidence booster on the road.
Recent Form
New Orleans Pelicans (4-1 in last 5, 4-game win streak):
W 115-105 at Utah (Feb 28) — Zion Williamson left early with ankle tweak but team pulled away
W 129-118 at Utah (Feb 26) — Saddiq Bey dropped 42
W 113-109 vs. Golden State (Feb 24)
W 126-111 vs. Philadelphia (Feb 21)
L 118-139 vs. Milwaukee (Feb 20)
New Orleans is averaging 117.6 PPG on efficient shooting during the streak, with elite defensive stretches and strong rebounding. They’ve won three straight on the road and are playing with house money while shorthanded.
Los Angeles Clippers (2-3 in last 5, 3-game losing streak):
L 88-94 vs. Minnesota (Feb 26) — short-handed
L 109-111 vs. Orlando (Feb 22)
L 122-125 vs. Lakers (Feb 20)
W vs. ? (Feb 19)
W at Houston (Feb 11)
The Clippers have dropped their last three for the first time since December, with injuries piling up. Offense has been inconsistent (averaging under 110 in the skid), but Kawhi Leonard’s return could flip the script.
Injury Report
New Orleans Pelicans
Zion Williamson (F) — Day-to-Day (right ankle tweak; left Feb 28 game in Q2; “hopefully nothing serious” per coach)
Trey Murphy III (F) — Day-to-Day/GTD (shoulder; out since All-Star break)
Pelicans are thin up front and in the backcourt but have thrived with Saddiq Bey, Yves Missi, and Jeremiah Fears stepping up.
Los Angeles Clippers
Kawhi Leonard (F) — Available (ankle/illness; cleared and expected to play heavy minutes; season avg. ~28 PPG)
John Collins (F) — Questionable (neck/head)
Darius Garland (G) — Out (left toe; yet to debut with Clippers after trade)
Bradley Beal (G) — Out for Season (left hip fracture/surgery)
Clippers depth has been tested, but Leonard’s return plus Mathurin’s recent 20.7 PPG spark provide firepower.
Key Player Matchups
Wings/Forwards: Saddiq Bey / Yves Missi vs. Kawhi Leonard / John Collins (if active) / Bennedict Mathurin — Bey is scorching (21+ PPG recently, 42 vs. Utah); Leonard’s two-way dominance could neutralize, but Pelicans’ length and energy test LA’s frontcourt.
Guard Play: Dejounte Murray (if active) / Jeremiah Fears vs. Kris Dunn / other Clippers guards — Murray’s playmaking and steals spark the Pels’ recent surge; Clippers lean on Dunn’s energy in Garland’s absence.
Interior: Pelicans bigs (Missi, Jordan) vs. Clippers frontcourt — Pelicans have dominated glass in recent wins; Clippers must protect the rim without full strength.
Bench/Depth — Clippers have more proven pieces when healthy, but Pelicans’ hot streak and urgency give them an edge in energy.
Series History
2025-26 season: Clippers won the lone prior meeting 126-124 on Oct 31 in Los Angeles.
All-time regular season: Pelicans lead 44-35.
Recent trend: Pelicans are 10-5 in last 15 meetings, 6-0 ATS in last 6 vs. Clippers, and 5-0 ATS in last 5 road games against LA. Pelicans have covered as big underdogs repeatedly.
Betting Trends
Pelicans 4-1 ATS in last 5, 7-3 ATS last 10 road games, 5-0 ATS last 5 road vs. Clippers.
Clippers 12-4 ATS last 16 home games but just 2-3 SU in last 5 overall and 1-4 ATS in recent home losses.
Total OVER in 4 of Pelicans’ last 6; Clippers games trending lower during skid.
Pelicans 4-1 SU last 5; Clippers 2-3 SU last 5 and lost 3 straight.

New Orleans Pelicans 225.5
Los Angeles Clippers – 7.5

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM ET (3:00 PM PT) Venue: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia TV: KUNP (Rip City TV Network) / FanDuel Sports Southeast Radio: Rip City Radio 620 Portland / Portland Trail Blazers Radio Network / SiriusXM NBA Radio / NBA League Pass
Game Context
Both teams sit in the play-in mix — Portland 9th in the Western Conference, Atlanta 10th in the Eastern Conference. A Hawks win would push them to .500 for the first time since December and extend a strong homestand; a Blazers victory would give them a season-series sweep and a much-needed road boost before Western Conference games resume.
Recent Form
Atlanta Hawks (4-1 in last 5, 3-game win streak):
W 126-96 vs. Washington (Feb 26)
W 119-98 vs. Washington (Feb 24)
W 115-104 vs. Brooklyn (Feb 22)
L 97-128 vs. Miami (Feb 20)
W 117-107 at Philadelphia (Feb 19)
The Hawks are rolling at home (13-16 overall there), averaging 119+ points during the current streak while holding opponents under 100 twice. Depth has shone lately with new additions CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert combining for 58 points in Thursday’s blowout win.
Portland Trail Blazers (2-3 in last 5):
L 93-109 at Charlotte (Feb 28) — second night of a back-to-back and third game of a road trip
W 121-112 at Chicago (Feb 26)
L 121-124 vs. Minnesota (Feb 24)
W 92-77 at Phoenix (Feb 22)
L 103-157 vs. Denver (Feb 20)
Portland is averaging just 115.5 PPG on 45% shooting while allowing 118.1. The offense has struggled mightily without its top scorers, dropping to 93 points in Saturday’s loss.
Injury Report
Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard (G) — OUT (Achilles, out for season)
Deni Avdija (F) — OUT (back — missed last 3+ games; team-leading 24.4 PPG, 6.6 APG when healthy)
Shaedon Sharpe (G) — OUT (left fibula stress reaction/calf; out 4-6 more weeks; 21.4 PPG)
Caleb Love (G) — OUT (G-League two-way)
Portland is without its top three scorers and relying heavily on Jerami Grant (18.8 PPG), Jrue Holiday (15.8 PPG, elite defense), Scoot Henderson (13.0 PPG in limited return games), and rookie Donovan Clingan.
Atlanta Hawks
Jalen Johnson (F) — QUESTIONABLE (left hip flexor; team leader in PPG 23.0, RPG 10.6, APG 7.9)
Atlanta won its last game convincingly without Johnson and Alexander-Walker, so the Hawks have shown they can win ugly if needed.
Key Player Matchups
PG: Scoot Henderson / Jrue Holiday vs. Trae Young — Young’s playmaking (still healthy and unmentioned on injury report) can exploit Portland’s depleted backcourt, but Holiday’s veteran defense and Henderson’s athleticism provide counters.
Wings: Jerami Grant / Toumani Camara vs. CJ McCollum / Corey Kispert / Dyson Daniels — McCollum and Kispert are scorching hot (58 combined points last game). Grant must carry Portland’s scoring load.
Frontcourt: Donovan Clingan vs. Onyeka Okongwu / Jalen Johnson (if active) — Clingan (11.5 RPG, elite rim protection, 3rd in league rebounding) is Portland’s best asset. If Johnson sits, Okongwu gets more minutes, but Clingan should dominate the glass.
Bench/Depth — Hawks have more proven rotation pieces right now; Portland’s bench is thin without Avdija and Sharpe.
Series History
2025-26 season: Portland won the only meeting 117-101 on Jan 15 in Portland (Sharpe led with 24).
All-time regular season: Portland leads 65-62.
Recent trend: Portland has covered in 4 of the last 5 meetings and is 1-0 ATS this season against Atlanta.
Betting Trends
Hawks are 6-4 ATS as 6+ point favorites this season and 4-1 in their last 5 overall.
Blazers are 11-8 ATS as 6+ point underdogs and have seen the favorite win straight-up in their last 13 games.
Hawks are 3-0 straight-up and strong ATS in their current home win streak.
Portland on the second night of a back-to-back has been vulnerable offensively.
Season series game went UNDER the total (218 combined points).
Game Odds
Portland Trail Blazers 237.5
Atlanta Hawks – 5.5
Odds Courtesy of Sports Odds Direct as of Saturday, February 28, 2026
* A multi-goal comeback performance capped by an overtime winner from Jason Robertson helped the Stars extend the NHL’s longest active winning streak to eight games and match their franchise record for longest run.
* The Hurricanes extended their point streak to 12 games and moved into first place in the Eastern Conference – the latest they’ve held that position since 2022.
* Nineteen goals were scored by defensemen on Saturday, bringing the total this season to an amount last seen over 30 years ago.
* A six-game Sunday features a pair of national broadcasts in the U.S., with the Penguins hosting the Golden Knights on TNT before the Panthers visit the Islanders on ESPN.
ROBERTSON SCORES IN OT, STARS COMPLETE COMEBACK TO EXTEND WIN STREAK
After a third-period game-tying goal from Nathan Bastian, Jason Robertson scored 1:47 into overtime to help the Stars secure the NHL’s 102nd multi-goal comeback win of 2025-26 and extend the League’s longest active winning streak to eight games, matching a franchise record set in 2023-24. Dallas (36-14-9, 81 points), which sits second in the Western Conference, became the fifth team to hit 80 points this season and tied their fourth-fewest contests to reach the mark in franchise history (59 GP).
* Robertson scored his sixth career overtime goal, which tied the fourth most in Stars/North Stars history behind Jamie Benn (12), Tyler Seguin (10) and Mike Modano (9). It also marked his sixth game winner of the season – only four players have more: Steven Stamkos (9), Dylan Larkin (8), Cole Caufield (8) and Brock Nelson (7).
* The Stars earned the 102nd multi-goal comeback victory so far in 2025-26 after the Rangers and Islanders each did so on Saturday. The NHL has seen at least 100 multi-goal comeback wins at this stage of a campaign (945 GP) for the fourth-straight season – the longest run in League history. The only other stretch of at least three campaigns came from 1985-86 to 1987-88.
HURRICANES EXTEND STREAKS, TAKE SPOT ATOP EASTERN CONFERENCE
Shayne Gostisbehere and Taylor Hall both tallied 1-2—3 to help the Hurricanes extend their point streak to 12 games, home point streak to 11 and winning streak to five. In the process, Carolina (38-15-6, 82 points) leapt over Tampa Bay (38-16-4, 80 points) for top spot in the Eastern Conference.
* The Hurricanes tied their fourth-longest point streak in franchise history (also 12 GP in 2005-06) as well as their fourth-longest home point streak (also 11 GP in 2016-17 & 2002-03). It also marked the 21st time Rod Brind’Amour led Carolina to five straight wins since his coaching debut in 2018-19 – the only coach with more runs over that span is Jared Bednar (25x).
* Gostisbehere tied Jaccob Slavin and Zarley Zalapski (both w/ 7) for the third-most three-point games by a defenseman in franchise history, behind Dave Babych and Mark Howe (both w/ 12). He also reached the 10-goal plateau for the sixth time in his career and with his fourth different franchise (also PHI, ARI & DET). Only five defensemen have achieved the feat with more: Mathieu Schneider (7), Steve Duchesne (6), Larry Murphy (6), Phil Housley (5) and Mike McEwen (5).
* Sebastian Aho scored on the man advantage to record his 74th career power-play goal and surpass Pat Verbeek for the third most in Hurricanes/Whalers history behind Ron Francis (132) and Eric Staal (105).
OFFENSE FROM DEFENSE TAKES CENTER STAGE SATURDAY
Defensemen put on an offensive showing during Saturday’s 13-game slate, including multi-point performances fromColumbus’ Zach Werenski (0-2—2), Colorado’s Cale Makar (2-0—2), Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin (1-2—3) and Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot (1-1—2), the latter three of which found the back of the net.
* Werenski collected two assists to record his 100th career multi-point game and became the fifth-fastest active defenseman to reach the mark (621 GP), following Makar (336 GP), Quinn Hughes (410 GP), Adam Fox (459 GP) and Erik Karlsson (505 GP). Twenty-one of Werenski’s 100 multi-point outings have come in 2025-26 alone, moving him past Johnny Gaudreau (20 GP in 2022-23) for the fourth most in a single season in Blue Jackets history.
* Makar scored two of his team’s three goals to help the Avalanche (39-10-9, 87 points) defeat the Blackhawks and bolster their lead atop the League standings. Makar, who tied Karlsson (18 GP) for the second-most multi-goal games by an active defenseman (min. 1 GP in 2025-26) behind Roman Josi (23 GP), recorded his fifth consecutive 60-point season (17-43—60 in 58 GP) and tied Brent Burns (5 from 2014-15 to 2018-19) and Karlsson (5 from 2013-14 to 2017-18) for the most among active blueliners.
* Chabot factored on two of his team’s five goals to help the Senators (29-22-8, 66 points) defeat the Maple Leafs (27-24-9, 63 points) and move within five points of the Bruins (33-21-5, 71 points) for the final Wild Card position in the East. Chabot assisted on a go-ahead goal for the 85th time in his career and surpassed Radek Bonk for the sixth most in franchise history, behind Daniel Alfredsson (228), Karlsson (141), Jason Spezza (137), Wade Redden (107) and Alexei Yashin (94).
* Dahlin scored a goal and collected two assists to help the Sabres (35-19-6, 76 points) skate to a crucial victory against the Lightning (38-16-4, 80 points) and move within four points of them for first place in the Atlantic Division. Dahlin, who was one of 18 defensemen to score Saturday, recorded his 15th career three-point game and tied Niklas Kronwall for the 10th most by a Swedish defenseman behind Nicklas Lidstrom (54 GP), Karlsson (53 GP), Victor Hedman (47 GP), Borje Salming (45 GP), Stefan Persson (24 GP), Calle Johansson (23 GP), Oliver Ekman-Larsson (18 GP), Fredrik Olausson (17 GP) and John Klingberg (16 GP).
MORE NOTES FROM AROUND THE RINKS FEATURED IN #NHLSTATS: LIVE UPDATES
The latest edition of #NHLStats: Live Updates featured a plethora of noteworthy performances from across the 13-game slate, including comeback wins, go-ahead goals and season plateaus. For all that and more, click here.
* Mika Zibanejad (1-0—1) helped the Rangers overcome a 2-0 deficit against the Penguins en route to their fifth multi-goal comeback victory of the season, tied for second most in the NHL behind the Ducks (9). Zibanejad netted his 338th career goal and passed Henrik Zetterberg for the seventh most by a Swedish skater in NHL history.
* Cole Caufield (2-0—2) scored twice and Nick Suzuki (1-2—3) posted a three-point game as the Canadiens (33-17-9, 75 points) leapfrogged the Red Wings (34-20-6, 74 points) for third place in the Atlantic Division. Caufield scored his 20th and 21st go-ahead goal of the season and established a Canadiens record for most in a single campaign, surpassing Guy Lafleur (20 in 1977-78).
* Jordan Eberle (2-1—3) and Chandler Stephenson (1-2—3) each recorded three-point outings to help Seattle improve to 28-22-9 (65 points) and move within one point of Edmonton (29-24-8, 66 points), which sits third in the Pacific Division. The Kraken extended their point streak against the Canucks to eight games dating to Feb. 22, 2024, which is now their second-longest run versus an opponent in franchise history behind a 10-game streak against the Ducks that spanned from Feb. 11, 2022 – Nov. 25, 2024.
* Artemi Panarin (0-1—1) factored on one of two Los Angeles goals and Anton Forsberg turned aside all 29 shots he faced to help the Kings (24-21-14, 62 points) shut out the Flames and keep pace in the Western Conference’s Wild Card race. Panarin boosted his 2025-26 totals to 19-41—60 (55 GP) and became the eighth undrafted player (since 1963-64 when the NHL Draft was introduced) to record 10 or more 60-point seasons.
NATIONAL BROADCASTS ON TNT, ESPN HIGHLIGHT SIX-GAME SUNDAY A pair of national broadcasts in the U.S. highlight Sunday’s six-game slate, with the Penguins hosting the Golden Knights on TNT before the Panthers visit the Islanders on ESPN. Meanwhile, Matthew Boldy will look to continue his scoring streak for the Wild when they welcome the Blues.
* Boldy, whose 35 goals this season are second only to Nathan MacKinnon (40), enters Sunday on an eight-game point streak as well as a four-game multi-point streak. The Wild forward can become just the fourth player in franchise history to record multiple points in five straight games, following Kirill Kaprizov (2x; longest: 7 GP in 2024-25), Mats Zuccarello (6 GP in 2021-22) and Kevin Fiala (5 GP in 2021-22 & 2019-20).
* Evgeni Malkin (527-865—1,392) and Erik Karlsson (204-702—906) both look to climb all-time NHL lists this afternoon. Malkin needs two points to tie Luc Robitaille (668-726—1,394) for 24th place on the all-time points list, while Karlsson needs two points to equal Scott Stevens (196-712—908) for 14th most by a defenseman in League history.
* Brad Marchand (27-26—53 in 48 GP) is in the midst of a resurgent season at age 37 and is on pace for his first 30-goal campaign since 2021-22 as well as the first 40-goal season of his career. With his next tally, Marchand will pass Jaromir Jagr (27 in 2015-16 at age 44) for the most goals in a campaign by a Panthers skater age 35 or older.
Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET Venue: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas Broadcast: KFAA-TV (Mavericks local), FanDuel Sports Network Oklahoma (Thunder local), NBA League Pass (national/out-of-market) Radio: 107.7 The Franchise (Thunder) / 97.1 The Ticket or KEGL 97.1 (Mavericks)
Team Context
The visiting Thunder are the NBA’s best team at 46-15 (.754), 1st in the Western Conference and Northwest Division with a stranglehold on the No. 1 seed. Oklahoma City leads the league in net rating and has been the most consistent club all season.
The host Mavericks sit at 21-38 (.356), 12th in the West and 4th in the Southwest — firmly in lottery territory and in full rebuild mode after a disastrous campaign marked by injuries, trades, and poor chemistry.
Recent Team Forms
Thunder (8-2 in last 10): OKC is rolling with elite defense (top-3 in points allowed) and balanced offense (118+ PPG). They just wrapped a tough stretch with wins over strong Western foes and own a 21-8 road record. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to dominate as an MVP frontrunner.
Mavericks (2-8 in last 10; L6 at home): Dallas is on a brutal skid, losing 11 of its last 13 overall and six straight at American Airlines Center. Offense has been anemic (~110 PPG lately, near league-worst), and defense has leaked (118+ allowed). They are 10-20 at home and have dropped their last two by double digits (including 105-124 to Memphis on Feb. 27).

Wings/transition — 76ers speed to exploit any Celtics fatigue.
Boston Celtics (Coach: Joe Mazzulla) Starters (Tatum if active) PG Jrue Holiday SG Derrick White SF Jaylen Brown PF Jayson Tatum (Q) C Kristaps Porzingis Key Bench: Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, etc. Key Matchups:

Tipoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM ET Venue: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana Broadcast: FanDuel Sports Network Indiana (local Pacers), Bally Sports Southeast / local Memphis feeds (Grizzlies territory), NBA League Pass (national/out-of-market) Radio: 1070 The Fan (Pacers) / 92.9 FM / SiriusXM (Grizzlies)
Team Context
The visiting Grizzlies sit 11th in the Western Conference (Southwest Division), mathematically alive for the play-in but realistically lottery-bound with a .379 winning percentage. Memphis has dealt with major injury attrition all season but still boasts more talent and better underlying metrics than most bottom-feeders.
The host Pacers are 15th in the Eastern Conference (dead last in the East), firmly in tank mode at .250 with the league’s second-worst record. Indiana is prioritizing development for its young core and draft positioning in what has been a lost season plagued by star injuries.
Recent Team Forms
Grizzlies (3-7 in last 10, 30% win rate; W1): Memphis snapped a skid with a solid home win over Dallas (124-105 on Feb. 27) but remains inconsistent. They average 115.6 PPG (16th) while allowing 117.9 (22nd). Road play has been tough (10-18), but they have shown fight in recent games when key rotation pieces are available.
Pacers (2-8 in last 10, 20% win rate; L5): Indiana is on a five-game losing streak, including blowout home losses to Charlotte (109-133 on Feb. 26) and Philadelphia. Offense has cratered to 111.5 PPG (28th) and defense is leaky (119.5 allowed, 25th). Home record is 10-21, and the team is 1-4 ATS in its last five.
C Zach Edey (left ankle) — Out (expected return ~March 12)
SF Cedric Coward (right knee soreness) — Day-to-Day Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane (assuming available unless newly listed), and core depth expected to play.
Indiana Pacers:
PG Tyrese Haliburton (torn right Achilles) — Out (long-term)
SG/SF Aaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain) — Out / Questionable
SF Johnny Furphy (torn right ACL) — Out (season) Obi Toppin (foot) listed probable in recent windows; heavy reliance on Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, and young pieces.
Series History
Grizzlies lead the 2025-26 season series 1-0 after a dominant 128-103 home win on Oct. 25, 2025. Historically, Memphis is 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings overall and 8-2 ATS. Games have averaged ~235 combined points, with Memphis covering comfortably in most recent encounters when healthy.
Projected Lineups & Player Matchups
Memphis Grizzlies (Interim Coach rotation under Taylor Jenkins influence) Starters (projected, pending injury updates) PG — Scottie Pippen Jr. / Ty Jerome (if active) SG — Desmond Bane / Jaylen Wells SF — Jaren Jackson Jr. PF — Santi Aldama (if active) / Cedric Coward C — Brandon Clarke (if active) / depth Key Bench: Vince Williams Jr., GG Jackson, etc. Key Matchups:
Jackson Jr. vs. Pacers frontcourt (Walker / Toppin) — JJJ’s length, shot-blocking, and stretch-4 ability should dominate a depleted Indiana interior.
Bane / Wells perimeter vs. Nembhard / Sheppard — Grizzlies wings can exploit Pacers’ shaky perimeter defense and lack of Haliburton creation.
Pace and transition — Memphis wants to push; Indiana struggles in transition without its stars.
Indiana Pacers (Coach: Rick Carlisle) Starters (projected) PG Andrew Nembhard SG Ben Sheppard SF (Nesmith out; rotation: Kobe Brown / depth) PF Obi Toppin (if active) / Jarace Walker C (Zubac out; James Wiseman / depth) Key Bench: T.J. McConnell, young prospects, Quenton Jackson, etc.
Key Matchups:
Nembhard vs. Memphis backcourt pressure — Indiana’s primary creator faces length and physicality.
Toppin / Walker vs. Jackson Jr. — Rebounding and athleticism battle; Pacers need second-chance points.
Youth development vs. veteran execution — Pacers will lean on hustle, but Grizzlies’ size edges most matchups.
Betting Trends
Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.
OVER has hit in 4 of Memphis’ last 5 vs. Indiana.
Pacers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall and 1-4 ATS in last 5.
Memphis is 25-32 ATS season-long but covers well against weaker Eastern teams.
Both teams rank bottom-10 in defensive efficiency lately; games trend higher-scoring when injuries

Team Context
The visiting Cavaliers hold a 37-24 record, placing them 4th in the Eastern Conference (Central Division contenders), with a strong .607 winning percentage and positioning for a top-4 seed in the playoffs. Cleveland has been a consistent force with veteran additions and defensive prowess. The host Nets are at 15-44, dead last in the Atlantic Division and 14th in the East, firmly in rebuild/tank mode with one of the league’s worst records and a massive youth movement featuring recent draft picks.
Recent Team Forms
Cavaliers (8-2 in last 10): Cleveland is playing excellent basketball, winning 8 of their last 10 including blowouts and close contests. They average around 121+ PPG in this stretch with strong defense (allowing ~109 PPG). Recent results include a dominant home win over the Knicks (109-94 on Feb. 24) but a narrow road loss to Milwaukee (116-118 on Feb. 25). The team has depth, veteran leadership (including James Harden’s integration), and is 17-12 on the road.
Nets (2-8 in last 10, on a 7-game losing streak): Brooklyn is struggling mightily, dropping their last seven games including a 110-126 home loss to San Antonio on Feb. 26. Offense has been inconsistent (~107 PPG season average, lower lately), and defense has been porous (allowing 118+ in recent defeats). The young core is gaining experience but the results are poor, with heavy reliance on rookies and second-year players in a clear development phase.
Injury Report
Cleveland Cavaliers:
G James Harden (thumb) — OUT (ruled out recently; thumb injury).
F Dean Wade (ankle) — OUT.
G Keon Ellis (finger) — OUT.
G Dennis Schröder (ankle) — Day-to-Day / Questionable (listed for recent games; check updates). Other stars like Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, etc., are expected available.

Feb. 19, 2026 (Cleveland): Cavaliers 112-84 Nets (blowout win; Mitchell 17 pts leading). The Cavaliers won convincingly in the prior meeting, holding Brooklyn to 84 points. Cleveland has won recent head-to-heads with ease, often by double digits.
Projected Lineups & Player Matchups
Cleveland Cavaliers (Coach: Kenny Atkinson) Starters PG Donovan Mitchell / Dennis Schröder (if active) SG Caris LeVert / Isaac Okoro SF Max Strus (if healthy) / Georges Niang PF Evan Mobley C Jarrett Allen Key Bench: Craig Porter Jr., Sam Merrill, etc. (Harden out shifts minutes). Key Matchups:
Mitchell vs. Nets perimeter D — Donovan should exploit Brooklyn’s young/inexperienced guards for scoring and creation.
Mobley/Allen frontcourt vs. Claxton — Cleveland’s size and rim protection will dominate the paint against a rebuilding Nets interior.
Transition and 3-point shooting — Cavs’ pace and spacing vs. Nets’ poor transition defense.
Brooklyn Nets (Coach: Jordi Fernández) Starters PG Egor Demin / Ben Saraf (if active) SG Terance Mann / depth SF Cam Thomas (if rostered) / wing pieces PF Noah Clowney C Nic Claxton Key Bench: Young prospects (Nolan Traoré, Danny Wolf, Adou Thiero), Day’Ron Sharpe, etc.
Key Matchups:
Young guards vs. Cleveland pressure — Rookies face tough defense from Mitchell/Schröder.
Claxton vs. Allen/Mobley — Rebounding and interior battle; Cavs hold edge.
Nets spacing vs. Cavs help D — Brooklyn’s limited shooting will struggle against Cleveland’s length.
Betting Trends
Cavaliers are strong ATS as heavy favorites (cover in blowouts vs. weak teams).
Nets are 11-1 ATS in select spots but overall poor (struggling to cover large spreads).
Cleveland games trend toward higher totals lately, but Nets’ low-scoring offense pulls unders.
Cavs have covered in recent matchups vs. Brooklyn (e.g., -28 in Feb. 19 win).
Nets have lost 7 straight; Cavs 8-2 SU/ATS in last 10.

Team Context The visiting Bucks are 26-32, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference with a .448 winning percentage. Milwaukee has struggled to find consistency this season, hovering around the play-in picture but dealing with injuries and inconsistent play.
The host Bulls sit at 24-36 (.400), 12th in the East and in the lottery/rebuild conversation after a disastrous February. Chicago is fighting to avoid the bottom of the standings in a tough Eastern race.
Recent Team Forms
Bucks (mixed recent stretch): Milwaukee has shown flashes but inconsistency persists. They won a close one against Cleveland (118-116 on Feb. 25) but suffered a heavy loss to the Knicks (98-127 on Feb. 27). Over their last 10 games, they’ve hovered around .500, averaging ~112 PPG offensively with defensive lapses (allowing 115+ in several). The team is 12-18 on the road and needs wins to climb back into contention.
Bulls (0-11 in February, 11-game losing streak): Chicago endured the worst month in franchise history (0-11 in February), including a late rally that fell short vs. Portland on Feb. 26. Offense has been stagnant (~107-110 PPG lately), defense porous (118+ allowed often), and the young core is gaining experience amid heavy losses. The skid has dropped them firmly out of play-in contention.
Injury Report
Milwaukee Bucks:
PF Giannis Antetokounmpo (right calf) — Day-to-Day / Game-Time Decision (missed recent games; status critical for this matchup).
SF Taurean Prince (neck) — Out (long-term recovery). Other notes: Potential minor issues (e.g., Gary Harris hamstring from earlier reports), but focus on Giannis’ availability.
Chicago Bulls:
SG Anfernee Simons (left wrist) — Out / Day-to-Day (ruled out recently).
PF Patrick Williams (quadriceps) — Out (until early March).
PF Zach Collins (right 1st toe sprain) — Out.

Dec. 27, 2025 (Chicago): Bucks 112-103 Bulls
Feb. 3, 2026 (Milwaukee): Bucks 131-115 Bulls Bucks lead 3-0 this season, outscoring Chicago by an average of ~14 points per game. Historically, the all-time series is tied 137-137, but Milwaukee has won the last several head-to-heads.
Projected Lineups & Player Matchups
Milwaukee Bucks (Coach: Doc Rivers) Starters (assuming Giannis plays) PG — (e.g., Damian Lillard or rotation) SG — Gary Trent Jr. / depth SF — Khris Middleton (if healthy) PF — Giannis Antetokounmpo (GTD) C — Brook Lopez Key Bench: Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma (noted high scorer in prior win), etc. Key Matchups:
Giannis (if active) vs. Bulls frontcourt (Vucevic / Buzelis) — Giannis’ dominance in the paint and transition would overwhelm Chicago’s depleted interior.
Bucks wings / shooters vs. Bulls perimeter D — Milwaukee’s spacing and mid-range creation should exploit Chicago’s young/inexperienced defense.
Rebounding battle — Bucks hold edge with size if Giannis plays.
Chicago Bulls (Coach: Billy Donovan) Starters PG — Coby White SG — (depth with Simons out) SF — Matas Buzelis / wings PF — (e.g., Julian Phillips or rotation) C — Nikola Vucevic Key Bench: Young prospects, depth pieces amid injuries. Key Matchups:
Vucevic vs. Lopez / Bucks bigs — Vucevic’s scoring and rebounding vs. Milwaukee’s rim protection.
White / young guards vs. Bucks pressure — Chicago’s creation limited without key pieces.
Buzelis emergence — Rookie/young talent trying to compete against veteran Bucks.
Betting Trends
Bucks are strong in divisional games and vs. weaker opponents (covered in prior meetings).
Bulls on 11-game skid; home games have been tough (8-game home losing streak noted).
Totals have varied; Bucks games trend higher with Giannis, but Chicago’s low offense pulls unders.
Milwaukee 8-3 SU in recent windows when healthy; Chicago struggling to cover large spreads.
