🏀 2:00: Milwaukee Bucks – Oklahoma City Thunder, NBA regular season
Intrigue: Will Giannis and Lillard stop the Lightning?
At the end of the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks returned to second place in the Eastern Conference, trailing only Boston. At the same time, the team led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damien Lillard has rarely lost lately. The Oklahoma City Thunder, leader of the West, will be visiting the “deer.” The Lightning are undefeated for four straight games, and in their last 10 games alone they have lost just twice. Oklahoma is strong, but Milwaukee is also in shape.
Is Lillard the new leader of the team?
Lillard decides in Milwaukee. The presence of Greek gods is optional.
🏀 2:00: Minnesota Timberwolves – Golden State Warriors, NBA regular season
Intrigue: Battle for playoff spots intensifies
There is less and less time left until the end of the National Basketball Association’s regular season. The Minnesota Timberwolves are in third place and are trying to minimize losses in the absence of one of the team’s leaders, Karl-Anthony Towns. In turn, the Golden State Warriors solve a problem of a completely different level: the team led by Stephen Curry is in the play-in zone, from where it can be expelled by Houston’s growing momentum. In general, this match is of fundamental importance for both teams and the strongest will win.
Did LeBron destroy the Warriors?
NBA fans are furious about the Lakers-Golden State game, but LeBron remembers his youth
🏒 3:30: Anaheim Ducks – Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Tampa extend its point streak?
John Cooper’s team has not yet secured participation in the NHL playoffs, although it has recently taken a big step in this direction.

Will Tampa face one of the main outsiders of the current NHL season?

🏀 5:00: Los Angeles Lakers – Indiana Pacers, NBA regular season
Intrigue: the cost of a mistake for teams is too high
We’re at a point in the league right now where almost every team is trying to do the best they can to make the NBA playoffs. The Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers are no exception. The “Ozerniki” are in the entry zone of the West, so they practically cannot afford to lose, and the “pacers” are sixth in the East, but can easily lose their place with several defeats. Why do both teams need to show good play here and now? There is practically no margin for error.
The Lakers’ failed signings:
The Lakers signed three former Miami players for $110 million, but they all flopped.
🏒 19:30: SKA – Avtomobilist, KHL – playoffs, 1/4 final
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Can SKA reduce the gap in the series to a minimum?
In the entire history of the KHL playoffs, only one case was recorded when a team that lost in the series with a score of 0-3 finally went to the next round. In 2015, a similar feat was repeated by SKA, who made a great return to the series with CSKA. Now the St. Petersburg army team is still far from such a trick, but the first step towards the goal was taken in Yekaterinburg. Now the army team needs to win at home to return the series to the Urals.
How and why did SKA beat Avtomobilist for the first time in the series?
SKA doesn’t want to go on vacation. Peter snatched the first victory from Avtomobilist
⚽️ 20:00: Cyprus – Serbia, friendly match
Intrigue: how will Serbia show itself after the defeat against Russia?
The Serbian team qualified for the Euro Cup. However, the first match of 2024 was not a success for the team. Serbia came to visit Russia and lost 0-4. Yes, the match was affected by Milan Gajic’s earlier elimination. However, the Serbs showed extremely weak football. There is a chance to redeem himself and the fans in the meeting with Cyprus. A fairly modest team, but not the weakest.

And this is Russia’s most serious rival? The Serbs walked and got four!
⚽️ 21:00: Sweden – Albania, friendly match
Intrigue: Albanians continue preparations for Euro 2024
Albania qualified for the European Championship for the second time in history. The team will play in the tournament in Germany in the group with Spain, Italy and Croatia. The toughest test. However, the Albanians, under the leadership of Silvinho, have become a great team. They have a meeting with Sweden ahead of them. The Scandinavian team is not going through the best moment in its history: the Swedes missed the Euro Cup and began the year 2024 with a 2-5 defeat against Portugal. Now there is an opportunity to improve. But Albanians must also learn to defeat formidable opponents.
After failing in the selection, the Swedes took drastic measures:
The Swedish national team appointed a foreign coach for the first time in history
