The NHL and NBA seasons are nearing the playoffs and the games mean so much more. Meanwhile, the NCAA Championships are both in their Final Four with the games taking place this weekend. Let’s dive into the best games of this stacked sports weekend.
NHL
Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers: Saturday, April 6th, 3:30 pm ET
This game will play a big role in the Atlantic Division playoff seeding. The Bruins currently sit in first place with 105 points, while the Panthers are in second with 101.
Look for this to be a highly competitive matchup as the two teams look to take control of that number one seed.
NBA
Milwaukee Bucks vs. New York Knicks: Sunday, April 7th, 7 pm ET
This is another huge seeding matchup, as the Bucks currently hold the 2 seed in the eastern conference. The Knicks sit two games back from them and could make the jump with 6 games left in the season.
The big news out of New York is that Julius Randle is undergoing season-ending surgery, which means Jalen Brunson has his work cut out for him.
MLB
Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros: Friday, April 5th – Sunday, April 7th
The two Texas teams will square off over the weekend in an ALCS rematch from last season. With Houston getting off to a slow 2-5 start they’ll look to make up some ground against their neighbor.
NCAAM
Purdue vs. NC State: Saturday, April 6th, 6:09 pm ET
D.J. Burns and Zach Edey is going to be a key matchup this Saturday as Zach Edey has been near impossible to guard the entire tournament. D.J. Burns and the Wolfpack are coming off a huge win over Duke and will look to advance to the National Championship.
NCAAW
Iowa vs. UCONN: Friday, April 5th, 9 pm ET
Two words: Caitlin Clark. I don’t think I need to say much more about this game, as she is coming off a performance against LSU where she scored 41 points against the defending National Champions.
