| Sport | Game Selection | Game Time |
|---|---|---|
| GBL | (202401) Paderborn at (202402) Wolfsburg: 3-Way Moneyline | 2:30pm EDT - May 21/2026 |
The PLAY: Wolfsburg -133
This year's promotion-relegation playoff features Wolfsburg taking on Paderborn. Wolfsburg will be without Patrick Wimmer for Thursday's match and possibly the second leg on 5.25. However, they were also without Wimmer on Saturday and still beat St. Pauli 3-1. Wolfsburg has never been relegated from the top level. On the other hand, Paderborn has only made the Bundesliga twice in its 119-year history. In both cases, they finished last and dropped back to the second division. Playing considerably better in recent weeks than it did earlier in the season, Wolfsburg should be able to pull off the victory. Play on the 3-way line up to -150

| WNBA | (615) Portland Fire at (616) Indiana Fever: Spread | 7:00pm EDT - May 20/2026 |
The PLAY: Indiana Fever -13.5 (-105)
The Fire eked out a 1-point victory last time out. However, that was a home game vs a a weak Connecticut team. A road game at Indiana represents a massive step up in class. It doesn't help Portland's cause that Karlie Samuelson is out and that both Carla Leite and Kamiah Smalls are questionable. Meanwhile, the Fever expect to get Aliyah Boston back, after she missed last game, the first time in her WNBA career that she's missed a game. Indiana still won by 11, Caitlin Clark posting a 21/10/7 stat line. The Fever star commented: "I always take pride in being able to set my teammates up for success. That allows our team to really get flowing, and I can do a really good job of that. I only played 23 minutes and I had 10 assists, so I think it shows the potential of what this team can do offensively." Both Portland's losses came by 15 or more points. Playing their first road game of the season, look for the Fire to get blown out tonight. *good at -14 or better
