The NBA play-in tournament begins Tuesday, featuring two of the game's biggest stars each fighting to secure a spot in the first round.
Mumbai Indians' 20-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash on Saturday has triggered a plethora of doubts in the cricketing spectrum. Hardik Pandya, who has been in the line of fire since taking over the role of MI's skipper, has been struggling both with the bat and the ball. With the T20 World Cup 2024 set to be held right after the conclusion of the IPL, doubts have started to arise over Hardik's place in the team.
Jordi Fernandez has emerged as the Brooklyn Nets' choice to become the franchise's next coach, separating himself amid a wide, monthlong search that now has the Nets prepared to hire the Sacramento Kings' top assistant, sources told ESPN on Monday night.
The 2024 NBA playoffs begin this week with the NBA play-in, which will determine the opponents for the top two seeds in the East and the West.

In the West, the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder will each play one of the two teams that emerges from the group of the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
IPL 2024 Points Table:Royal Challengers Bengaluru slumped to their sixth loss in seven matches and as a result, the road to IPL 2024 playoffs got much tougher for the Faf Du Plessis-led side. RCB were outplayed completely by Sunrisers Hyderabad, who registered the highest team total in the history of the competition on Monday. Travis Head slammed a brilliant century to take SRH to a record 287/3 in 20 overs before Pat Cummins took three wickets to guide his team to victory. Following the loss, RCB remained last in the points table with just 2 points and a horrible NRR (Net Run Rate) of -1.185. That means RCB have no other choice but win all of their remaining matches in IPL 2024 and hope for other results to go their way if they want to qualify for the playoffs.
First the play-in tournament, then the real tournament.
MS Dhoni turned back the clock on Sunday as he slammed Hardik Pandya for three back-to-back sixes during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. It was vintage Dhoni on display at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as he scored 20 runs in just 4 deliveries leaving fans and experts completely stunned. Bollywood celebrities like Kareena Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Neha Dhupia and John Abraham were all in attendance for the match and in a video going viral on social media, they seem completely mesmerised by the explosive batting from the veteran CSK batter.
The IPL 'El Clasico' on Sunday had one clear winner - Chennai Super Kings, with Mumbai Indians finishing second best. The much awaited clash had it all.

Another thing that got repeated was the crowd booing Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya.
