Friday’s Sharp Action Ignites

We’re sitting at 13-8 over the last seven days, and Friday brings high-stakes basketball as the NBA play-in tournament continues with Charlotte battling Orlando in an elimination game where one team’s season ends tonight. MLB delivers a day-night double starting at 2:20 PM ET with the Mets visiting the Cubs at Wrigley, followed by San Francisco traveling to Washington in a National League clash.

Play-in intensity meets spring baseball—let’s dominate Friday from afternoon to elimination!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
