Preview.

Between January 19–the day Rudy Gobert returned from his 15-game absence stemming from a sprained PCL–and the conclusion of the regular season, the Utah Jazz went 30-8, earning them the league's second-best winning percentage during that span.

The only team better? The Houston Rockets, who were 34-5.

During that stretch to close the season, the Jazz ranked 12th in offensive rating (108.

4 points per 100 possessions), first–by far–in defensive rating (97.

5) and first in net rating (plus-10.

8), while the Rockets ranked second in offense (111.

7), third in defense (102.

3) and third in net (9.

So, this may only be the second round of the playoffs.

It may be a No. 1 vs. 5 seed.

But you can make a strong argument that over the last three months, these have been two of the best five teams in the NBA, making this a highly compelling matchup.

Houston swept the four regular-season meetings with each win coming by double-digits, though just one of those came after Christmas–a 96-85 win in Salt Lake City on February 26.

Though the Jazz struggled to score, they managed to limit the Rockets to just 430 percent shooting from the field and 27.3 shooting from deep.

The Rockets' 96 points was their fifth lowest output of the season, while their nine three-pointers made was tied for their second lowest mark.

Therein lies what will be one of the most fascinating matchups of these playoffs: Houston's offense is arguably the best in the NBA (though the Warriors at full strength have a good argument there), while Utah's defense can make a similar case as the league's most efficient unit on that end.

It's a battle of elite strengths, and it's going to play a major factor in determining this series.

For as dominant as Houston has been all year, especially when Chris Paul and James Harden have both been healthy, it would ultimately be surprising not to see them advance to the West finals.

But Utah's defensive makeup serves as a really intriguing potential kryptonite to the Rockets' ultra-efficient offense, and the Jazz should–at the very least–be able to push to six games.

Celtics vs Bucks Game 7 Live Stream: How to Watch Online Without Cable

It's time for some win-or-go-fishing basketball, as the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks are set to meet in Game 7 of their first-round matchup at the TD Garden on Saturday night.

The game is scheduled to start at about 8:10 p.m.

ET and will be broadcast nationally on TNT.

If you don't have cable or can't get to a TV, you can watch the game live on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:.

Hulu With Live TV: In addition to their extensive Netflix-like streaming library, Hulu now also offers a bundle of live channels, including TNT.

You can sign up for "Hulu with Live TV" right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Hulu app.

DirecTV Now: TNT is included in each of DirecTV Now's four different channel packages.

You can sign up for a free 7-day trial no matter what package you choose, and you can then watch the game live on your computer via the DirecTV Now website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the DirecTV Now app.

Preview.

The home team has won each of the first six games of this series, so it's not exactly surprising to see that the Celtics are favored by 4.5 inside the Garden.

Moreover, Game 7's often come down to coaching, and Boston has the advantage there, too, as Brad Stevens is one of the best in the business.

That said, Game 7's can also be decided by who has the best player, and that's why the Bucks can't be written off, even on the road.

They have the best player in the series in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's averaging 26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest, and they have arguably the second best player in Khris Middleton, who's putting up 23.5 points and shooting a scorching 20-of-32 from three.

Unless one of those two really takes over, though, the Bucks are likely going to need a third option to step up if they're going to solve a stingy Celtics defense that is allowing just 99.7 points per 100 possessions at home this series (compared to 118.5 on the road).

Eric Bledsoe and Jabari Parker have been woefully inefficient over the first six games with effective field-goal percentages of 43.1 and 500, respectively.

Tony Snell, a 40.3 percent three-point shooter during the regular season, has seen that number drop to 250 in the playoffs.

Malcolm Brogdon had a big 16 points in Game 6, but but that came after outputs of 5, 10 and 2 in the previous three games.

The Celtics, meanwhile, have had much more balance with five players–Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Terry Rozier, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Morris–averaging at least 130 points per game this series.

Brown has led the way with 20.5 per contest, but any one of that quintet is capable of having a big game.

Ultimately, though, it's a Game 7.

Things tend to become far less predictable as players fight to keep their season alive, and this should be a fitting conclusion to what has been an entertaining, back-and-forth series.

Preview.

Even with an eighth-place finish in China, Sebastian Vettel's victories in the first two races of the season, combined with Lewis Hamilton's mini winless streak, have the German nine points ahead of the defending champion in the World Drivers' Championship standings.

Nevertheless, after mostly being off the pace in China before finally finishing fourth, Hamilton is confident he knows what to do to turn things around.

"They're short-term things," said the 33-year-old Mercedes driver.

"I'm hoping that we'll crack them this weekend.

We've sat and understood where we've gone wrong, but still we've got to implement the change — because there can be five or 10 different solutions to that one particular problem.".

In two career races at Baku City Circuit (2016 European Grand Prix and 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix), Hamilton has finished fifth both times, while Vettel finished second and fourth.

Still, Hamilton is the oddsmakers' favorite on Sunday, with Vettel just behind.

Of course, those aren't the only two to watch.

Daniel Ricciardo, the winner of last year's race, will look to repeat that success after building momentum in China, while Valtteri Botas, fresh off a pair of second-place finishes in a row, is seeking Mercedes' first win of the season along with Hamilton.

All-in-all, it's been an entertaining and fairly unpredictable start to the season, and those trends should continue this weekend in Baku.

Cavs vs Pacers Game 7 Live Stream: How to Watch Online Without Cable

The last time LeBron James faced a non-Finals Game 7 was during the 2013 East finals, when he and the Miami Heat eventually took down the Indiana Pacers in the decider.

Now, five years later, this time with a mere spot in the East semis on the line, he'll face early elimination against the Pacers once again, as he and the Cleveland Cavaliers host Victor Oladipo and Co.

in the win-or-go-home matchup.

The game is scheduled to tip Sunday at about 1:10 p.m.

ET and will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

If you don't have cable or can't get to a TV, you can watch the game live on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:.

Preview.

The belief that LeBron is playing with his worst supporting cast since his first stint in Cleveland has been reaffirmed this series.

While he has averaged a silly 32.7 points (53.6 percent shooting with a 57.6 effective field-goal percentage), 10.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game this series, Kevin Love has been the team's next best scorer at 110 per contest.

No one has really provided a consistent second threat, evidenced by the team's 100.6 offensive rating (second-worst in the playoffs).

Still, though, having that LeBron guy is a pretty significant advantage.

He poured in 46 when the Cavs needed a Game 2 win.

He dropped 44 and buried the game-winning three at the buzzer in Game 5.

In Game 7's in his career, he's 4-2 with 33.2 points per game.

If someone is going to put his team on his shoulders in a must-win situation, it's the guy who has been to seven straight finals and will do anything to make sure that streak doesn't come to an end.

But the Pacers, for large stretches of this series, have looked like the better overall team.

While Cleveland's three wins have come by three, four and three points respectively, the Pacers won Game 1 by 18 and Game 6 on Friday night by 34.

Victor Oladipo logged his first postseason triple-double in the latter one, tallying 28 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

"I just went out there and played.

I did everything with confidence.

I just played read and react," Oladipo said.

"This game is over.

It means absolutely nothing right now.".

Oladipo, who had a breakthrough season, has continued to cement himself as one of the league's best two-way guards this series, averaging 21.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 60 assists and 20 steals per contest.

But whereas Cleveland has backed up its star with a lack of scoring punch, the Pacers have five more players–Bojan Bogdanovic, Myles Turner, Domanatas Sabonis, Thaddeus Young and Lance Stephenson–who are averaging at least 10.8 points per game.

The LeBron factor plus home-court advantage has the Cavs as significant 5.5-point favorites to advance, but that's hardly indicative of the way the Pacers have played this series.

Don't be surprised if this one comes down to the final few possessions.
