Luka Doncic produced a match-winning performance, producing 39 points, eight assists and six rebounds in the Dallas Mavericks’ win against the Golden State Warriors. The Detroit Pistons, meanwhile, are left with a young roster led by Jerami Grant, who was their joint-top scorer with 18 points in their last game, along with Frank Jackson, who came off the bench. Saddiq Bey has impressed in recent games, while Josh Jackson and rookie Isaiah Stewart have also fared well in recent weeks....

The article, headlined, “Ted Cruz’s daughter takes to TikTok to discuss life as senator’s kid,” mentioned Caroline’s recent TikTok in which she discussed the pros and cons of being a senator’s daughter. She said she enjoys the travel perks as well as the gifts that her father’s supporters send. However, she also said she dislikes having two security guards following her around whenever she goes on a walk or to a friend’s house....

NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) He went off for 39 points, tied for his second-highest tally this season, on 13-of-24 shooting from the field, including 6-of-11 from beyond the arc as he continued his recent red-hot streak. However, the game-high tally wasn’t enough to lead the shorthanded Portland squad to the win. With six minutes to go, the Trail Blazers were within touching distance as they only trailed by two (93-91)....

NXT superstar Damian Priest is a perfect example. After 15 years of working on the independent circuit, he finally impressed the WWE brass and signed with the NXT brand in late 2018. It was a long road for the fighter-turned-wrestler who always had aspirations of making it to this stage. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year The 37-year-old Puerto Rican is thriving with the brand, putting on impressive matches with the likes of Pete Dunne and Killian Dain over the past year....

Harmon has revealed how he maintains the illusion of time and age within the genre of animation. The showrunner mentioned that Rick and Morty season 5’s episodes are significantly less independent and are harder to watch as a standalone. Once you have been allotted a strong foundation and a loyal fan base, it becomes more challenging to not follow some version of a chronological timeline. The big task that Harmon had to take on with season 5 is how exactly do the creators implement change and growth in characters who are somewhat frozen in the present?...

Wood has been more dominant lately, but he has just two quality starts in six outings as a starter. Contrast that with deGrom, who has five in eight starts. It appears that deGrom has a slightly better chance to go deeper into games, which is why we rank him ahead of Wood. If you don’t want one of the top three, there are plenty of solid pitchers to choose from, including high-K guys like Charlie Morton, Nate Karns, and Trevor Bauer....

Jake Arrieta and Carlos Martinez both jump out as having great matchups, but Brent Suter isn’t far behind, especially if Miguel Sano (hand) is out against for the Twins. Dylan Bundy is the type of boom-or-bust guy who make or break a lineup in a hurry, and while he’s actually been better at home than on the road this year, he does get a park upgrade pitching in Angel Stadium....

All but two games on Saturday’s slate of games begin in the evening, and pitching-wise, you won’t miss much from the starters in the afternoon games (Cardinals-Cubs and Padres-Giants). Jon Lester isn’t the worst pick, but he’s 0-1 in three outings against the Cardinals this year with one quality start, and trusting an inconsistent Adam Wainwright against the hot-hitting Cubs is a bold strategy. For the evening schedule, David Price has been strong since mid-June and is the best pick....

We only have nine games in Monday’s main slate, and while there are top pitchers available, the value bats are almost non-existent. As I have said a thousand times, small slates like this are not good for cash games. For me, I am all about the tournaments and qualifiers tonight. In order to get to where we want to be, though, we’ll need to plan our attack. Fortunately for y’all, I’ve been working on that for the past six hours....

These guys are the bell cows that carry your team. It’s easy to pick one of Ezekiel Elliott, David Johnson, DeMarco Murray, Melvin Gordon and LeSean McCoy every week, but finding at least one more high-upside RB is key in all contests. We have a few suggestions, including going back to the well on one very disappointing elite fantasy RB, Todd Gurley. Of course, there’s more to DFS lineup building than running backs....

The former NXT star appeared alongside Bayley and Iyo Sky following Bianca Belair’s RAW Women’s Championship match against Becky Lynch. The trio confronted The EST of WWE in the ring, but the latter wasn’t alone, as Big Time Becks, who turned babyface after the match, stood alongside her long-time rival. The Role Model’s heelish group backed out of the ring before things got physical. Dakota Kai’s return came as a major surprise to many fans, as she was released from WWE alongside several other NXT talent in April....

So while the deal for Elliott to race in the Nationwide Series for JRM next year revolved around an 18-year-old driver, the deal is steeped in history. Elliott is the son of 1988 Cup champion Bill Elliott, a 44-time winner on the Cup circuit and a 16-time winner of the series’ most popular driver award until 2003 when he pulled his name from consideration for the award.

The Dallas Mavericks decimated the Golden State Warriors 133-103 in their last outing. Luka Doncic led the charge with 39 points, eight assists and six rebounds as his side put on yet another offensive masterclass. The Detroit Pistons, on the other hand, secured a 100-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks in their last game. Six players scored in double digits to round off a brilliant team performance for the Pistons....

MORE: Most hated players in NFL history That said, Damarious Randall’s admission of guilt is a relief. The blown coverage that all but ended the Packers’ 2015 season was the fault of the Packers cornerback, he told USA Today last week. “I put that play on myself,” Randall said. “I take 100 percent blame for it … It was just a mistake that was made. That’s football. “I just know that I’m going to make a lot more plays than I give up for the Green Bay Packers....

The matchup was highlighted by a budding rivalry between Devin Booker and Luka Doncic, with Phoenix looking to take revenge on Dallas for an uneasy playoff exit. The Mavericks appeared to be on their way to a similar routing as the last time the two teams met, leading by as much as 22 points in the second half. Instead of rolling over and taking another ugly loss, the Suns made a late push to cut Dallas’ lead to just five points heading into the fourth quarter....

It feels as if there are many more players in play tonight than usual, and there are multiple routes people can take in both cash and GPP contests. The Bulls will be without both Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler, and it’s unclear who exactly will take the lead for them. Kyle Korver will be making his Cavs debut, but you will want to wait for a better matchup than the Jazz to target him....
