Two of the very best teams in the NBA go head-to-head as the Boston Celtics host the Oklahoma City Thunder at TD Garden.

In particular, the matchup pits two of the league’s top scorers against one another in the form of the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum.

There is the chance for history on the links at Florida’s TPC Sawgrass as The PLAYERS Championship gets underway. World Number 1 and defending tournament champion Scottie Scheffler is seeking to become the first back-to-back-to-back winner in tournament history and the first three-time winner since Jack Nicklaus won his third title in 1978. It would also be the first back-to-back-to-back tournament win at any PGA event since 2011. However, the field will feature seven other previous winners, meaning that another title won’t come easy for Scheffler.
NHL: Winnipeg Jets v Dallas Stars
Friday 14th March 12:00AM GMT (15th)/7:00PM Local Time
Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg
The Winnipeg Jets host the Dallas Stars in this NHL game between the top two teams in the Central Division of the Western Conference.

The Jets are loaded with talent, boasting the league’s best goalie and two of the five top goalscorers. However, the Stars boast a well-rounded outfit that is top five in team goals for and team goals against this season. This should be a great match-up between two teams that are expected to make deep playoff runs.
