BEAM ME UP: Is scorching Scottie a Top 10 lock?

POWER HOUR: No juice on four MLB games!

EXPERT PICKS: Ariel, Daniel and Teddy break it down

WHO’S GOT NEXT? LeBron to Chicago? We’re saying there’s a chance

MEMORIAL HOLIDAY CONTINUES

CAN SCOTTIE AVOID THE 3-JACKS?

PointsBet Creative

EVENT: Memorial Tournament (Thurs-Sun)

WHY WE’LL WATCH: A strong, 120-man field will tee it up in Jack Nicklaus’ backyard. Tiger won this event five times, and sudden death has determined the champion in six of the last 10 years.

COURSE INFO: Muirfield Village in Dublin (Ohio, not Ireland) was designed and redesigned by Nicklaus himself. Unlike many modern courses, this 7,392-yarder features long rough and firm greens, making this throwback a unique challenge. Water comes into play on 14 holes.

FAVES: Coming off top-3 finishes at the PGA Championship and Charles Schwab Challenge, No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler (+600) is the narrow favorite over No. 2 Jon Rahm (+700) and two-time champion Patrick Cantlay (+1000).

BET TO CONSIDER: Scheffler Top 10 (-140): Seems as much of a lock as a Nikola Jokic ⛹️‍♂️ triple-double (-110) in Game 1 Thursday.

EXPERT PICKS

Ariel Epstein focuses on the diamond. PointsBet's Daniel Parisi is ready for Thursday's Game 1 tip. Teddy G is thinking small ball.

THE PROP QUEEN

Brewers-Blue Jays Over 6.5 Runs (+125) [7:07 p.m. ET]
“I don’t trust Jays RH Alek Manoah (5.53 ERA). Opponents are hitting .314 against his slider. And the Jays’ lineup is starting to hit, especially 5 through 9.”
Reds’ Luke Weaver Over 3.5 Ks (-155) [7:10 p.m. ET]
“Although the Red Sox have the sixth-lowest K rate against right-handers, they have been striking out a lot more lately.”

THE AGREEABLE ACE

Miami's Caleb Martin Under 16.5 points (-120)
"Martin shot 60% in the series against Boston. But at altitude and against a defense that has 10 days' rest -- it's clamps on."
Series Points Leader: Denver's Jamal Murray (+225)
"Murray averaged 32.5 against the Lakers and has yet to hit his ceiling. He gets the go-ahead on shot volume against a backcourt that will have no answer."

THE OG EDITOR

Memorial Tournament: Top Canadian Corey Conners (+150)
"Muirfield demands exquisite ball-striking, and that is Conners' forte. Plus he has to beat just four guys!"
Round 1 Score: Jon Rahm Under 69.5 (-121)
"Who can forget when he had to withdraw with the 54-hole lead in 2021 because of COVID? Rahmbo won't need any Red Bull to start strong."
EYES ON LEBRON (JUST HOW HE LIKES IT)

WHO’S GOT NEXT?

PointsBet Creative

What’s next for LeBron? You know he’ll keep everyone guessing, and that includes our trading team. These odds are available for wagering in IL. Otherwise just enjoy the debate.

  • Lakers (-700): LeBron needs to be close to Hollywood️ in case he wants to make another “Space Jam” sequel.
  • No Team / Retire (+500): After 20 years of hoops dominance, maybe a run at beach volleyball?
  • Cavaliers (+1200): Returning to Cleveland would be full-circle for the pride of Akron.
  • Warriors (+1500): James may not be an original Splash Bro, but they’d welcome him as their new older brother.
  • Knicks (+1500): New York loves stars almost as much as LeBron loves yelling at the refs.
  • Heat (+1500): James could fit right in with all the other south Florida retirees.
  • Clippers (+2000): LeBron travels a lot on the court, but that doesn’t mean he wants to walk this far.
  • 76ers (+2000): This move will make a lot more sense when James is still averaging 15 points for Philly at age 76.
  • Mavericks (+2000): If Kyrie stays with Dallas, maybe LBJ reunites with his old friend.
  • Suns (+2000): James loves a good super-team and could finally get some privacy in the️ desert.
  • Kings (+3000): Would they alter the logo for his Highness?
  • Bucks (+5000): LeBron and Giannis would form a terrifying combo for any defender who dares to stand in the lane.
  • Bulls (+5000): Going to Chicago and winning a ring would add some gas to those MJ comparisons.
  • Celtics (+5000): With all the great doctors and hospitals in Boston, James could probably play for another 20 years.
BEAUTY & THE BEAST

HAS PAIGE MET HER MATCH?

Courtesy of Geneva National

PointsBet ambassador Paige Spiranac won a 2016 Cactus Tour event by shooting 68 in the final round. She made the cut in the 2016 Scottish Open. She pounds drives 260 yards and made an ace in front of Gary Player.

She. Can. Play.

But we believe she’s a massive underdog in her next challenge – a match with John Daly. JD is 57 with bad knees and a distaste for practice, but the freakish talent remains. The two will square off Monday in a Celebrity Charity Match billed as “Beauty and the Beast” that will take place at the Geneva National resort in Lake Geneva, Wis. Details here.

Paige and Daly will play from the same tees, shortened to 6,088 yards.

“My key to success is wedge play,” she texted. “We know he is a master around the greens, so I’ll have to bring my ‘A’ game, especially from inside 100 yards.”

We’re #TeamPaige all the way, but we’re installing her – for entertainment purposes only – as a +300 underdog. Daly is -400.

PRICE IS RIGHT

Patrick Cantlay – Top 5 (+240) @ Memorial Tournament

“Jack’s Track is extremely demanding from tee to green, and ball-striking is exactly where Cantlay shines. Shorter putts can give him trouble, but the greens here are one of the easiest on Tour for putts inside 10 feet. Patrick has finished in the top 5 at Muirfield in four of the last five years, including two victories.”
