Updated 2018 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Odds: Watt Still on Top
I know. Saquon Barkley ripped off a 39-yard run the first time he touched the football in the NFL (preseason). But let’s shift away from all the rookies making their debuts this week, as we’ve just received some updated odds for the 2018 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. Here’s the top contenders at Bovada. (Follow the link to see all the options.) *More options available at Bovada. We all like to remember our favorite athletes in their glory days.

Should Derrius Guice be seen as a top contender to win 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year? (Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire) Derrius Guice fell all the way to 59th in the 2018 NFL Draft, in spite of many scouts believing he was the second best running back available behind Saquon Barkley. His maturity and the way he handles his emotions became a concern right before the draft and were to blame for Guice’s free fall.
Deshaun Watson is Favored to Lead the NFL in Interceptions in 2018
Is Deshaun Watson poised for an MVP-like 2018 season, or is he more likely to lead the league in interceptions thrown? (Photo by Leslie Plaza Johnson/Icon Sportswire) A quarterback’s reputation is built on the ability to avoid handing the ball back to the other side in key moments. QBs like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are not just lauded for their ability to put the ball in the endzone, but also to take care of that ball. The ones who can’t? They become punchlines.

Warriors vs Rockets Game 5: Will Iggy Return in Time to Save Golden State?
The Rockets evened their best-of-seven series with the Warriors at two games apiece on Tuesday night after downing Golden State 95-92 in Oakland.

The Rockets will try to build on that momentum on Thursday, May 24th when they host the Warriors at the Toyota Center. Houston made headlines this season with its prodigious offense, but it won Game 4 with its gritty defense.

Will LeBron James Own Every Playoff Record by the Time He's Done?
LeBron James has taken his game to new heights in his 15th season. Photo by Leah Klafczynski/Zuma Press/Icon Sportswire LeBron James added another notch on his belt on Monday night when he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in playoff field goals made. It was just the latest milestone for a player who seems hellbent on owning every single postseason record by the time he hangs up his size 15 Nikes.
Rockets vs Warriors Game 4: Houston, You Have a Problem
If Stephen Curry is indeed back to the devastating force he displayed in Game 3, then consider it situation critical for the Houston Rockets, who will try to even the best-of-seven Western Conference Final against the Warriors on Tuesday, May 22nd in the Bay Area. Curry, who has been the target of the Rockets’ offensive scheme as the weak link of the Golden State defense, finally showed the brilliance that makes him the most explosive scorer in the NBA.

The infirmary ward looks the same as the previous three games. The Cavs have a clean sheet. Boston will be missing Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis, and Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving). Going down 3-1 would be a death sentence for the Cavs.
