The San Antonio Spurs look to take a 2-0 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals after Monday's dramatic 122-115 double-overtime victory. Victor Wembanyama made history as the youngest NBA player ever with 40+ points and 20+ rebounds in a playoff game, posting 41 points and 24 boards. The Thunder, despite being 7.5-point favorites, face an uphill climb against a Spurs team that has dominated them throughout the season.

Colorado Avalanche aim to maintain their perfect home playoff record when hosting Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. The Presidents' Trophy winners will be without defenseman Cale Makar, a two-time Norris Trophy recipient, due to an undisclosed injury. Nathan MacKinnon enters the series with a six-game goal-scoring streak, making the Avalanche -182 favorites despite the key absence.

In MLB action, the Yankees seek to sweep the Blue Jays after winning the first two contests by one run each. New York leads the AL with 249 runs and are -172 favorites. Meanwhile, the Dodgers look to extend their NL West lead with a victory over the Padres after taking Tuesday's matchup 5-4. Both games feature high-powered offenses with SportsLine models projecting high-scoring affairs.
