Las Vegas - Not saying we're gonna see PERFECTION again tonight from Chris Paul, but MAN, what a game he had in the finale against the Pelicans. He had 33 points and was 14 of 14 from the field, yes, FOURTEEN of FOURTEEN!!! Made his only hoop from downtown, and was 4-4 from the free throw line. He had 5 boards, 8 assists and wound up with a gigantic +17 on the plus/minus sheet. And even better news for Phoenix is the fact that Devin Booker played 32 minutes after missing three games.

Las Vegas - A little afternoon baseball and we'll drop some love on the Cardinals over the D'backs. And it's all about Miles Mikolas. Double M looked like he was on the verge of a stellar career after posting a gorgeous 18-4 record with a 2.83 ERA back in 2018.

But 2022 is starting to look like 2018.

After a lackluster month of February, the Penny slots roared back with a $341 million dollar win. Moral of this story? SAVE your PENNIES! The other takeaway is the sports win. The dollar figure went up by six mill (February was $30.9 million), but as with most months, sports is at the bottom of the win list.

Las Vegas - Every matchup on the NBA board tonight has at least one star player missing or injured. In the Raptors/76ers game, Fred VanVleet is doubtful and Joel Embiid is dealing with a torn ligament in his right thumb. In the Suns/Pelicans matchup, Phoenix G Devin Booker is out. And in the Jazz/Mavericks tilt, Utah G Donovan Mitchell is now listed as probable, but he AIN'T close to 100%. TOO many what ifs, so we pass on all three.
