What they’re saying

“The Tigers have been cash money, holmes, in this series. I will say this is the least attractive pitching matchup in it for them (Keider Montero), but I think the Cards are mostly on auto-fade away having lost the first two of the series by four and five runs, respectively.”

— Matt Severance, SportsLine MLB expert

“Luka Doncic, out. Austin Reaves, out. Marcus Smart, out. Los Angeles will miss 57 ppg from their stars, while Smart produces nearly 10 ppg. LeBron James, as effective as he is in spurts, cannot carry stripped-down squads anymore. Dallas does not win often but can be competitive. Cooper Flagg is coming off a 51-point outburst, which will give the Lakers' defense another concern on top of their challenges on offense.”

— Mike Tierney, SportsLine NBA expert
