Bayern Munich host Borussia Monchengladbach at Allianz Arena on Saturday. These sides last met in September, with Bayern capturing the come-from-behind 2-1 victory thanks to second-half goals from Leroy Sane and Mathys Tel. Previous to that, however, Monchengladbach had won three of four against Bayern, setting this one up as an intriguing matchup despite the difference in record. The match starts tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. ET, and in the United States it will stream live on ESPN+. There’s no ESPN+ free trial, and no other way to watch a legal live stream in the US, so while your options…

The Minnesota Timberwolves (34-14) sit confidently in the top spot of the Western Conference a game ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Visiting tonight is the Orlando Magic (25-23), a team that currently has the 8th spot in the East. The last time this team squared off was back on January 9th, the Timberwolves getting the win, 113-92. Defense has been key for Minnesota’s success, as well as healthy players. Some like to say the Magic should not be this good, yet here they are. At one point back in late 2023 they were ranked number one in forcing turnovers.…
Charlie Appleby continued his relentless pursuit of success in the Dubai Racing Carnival when he added three more major victories to the four he collected last week at Fashion Friday during another display of Godolphin’s horsepower. Gallopers from Appleby’s Marmoon desert stables won all three feature races on the card including the marquee race of the evening, the Group 3 Dubai Millennium Stakes with second-string Warren Point who was recording the sixth victory of his career. The five-year-old son of Dubawi, who began his career as a gelding, showed plenty of battling qualities to deny German-bred Sean by a short-head…
The Western Conference has been very competitive this year, as the Golden State Warriors (20-24) now sit in the 12th seed in the rankings and look to continue improving as they travel to the FedEx Forum in Memphis to take on the Grizzlies (18-30).

The action is about to get underway, at 8:00 p.m. ET from Memphis, Tennessee. Here’s…
Sharjah Warriors crashed to mighty table toppers MI Emirates by an eight-wicket margin in the 18th match of the DP World ILT20 season 2 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Friday. Emirates once again flaunted their bowling prowess to restrict the Warriors to 129. Lleft-arm spinners Waqar Salamkheil (3 for 18) and Akeal Hoesin (2 for 20) spun a web around Warriors’ batters to strangle their run flow. Experienced pacer Trent Boult chipped in with two wickets for 29. Except for Johnson Charles, who hit 29 off 31 balls with three boundaries and a six, and Williams’ 35 off 25…
Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns (28-20) make their way down the east coast to take on the Atlanta Hawks (20-27). Durant had a big night against his old team the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday, as they dismantled them 136-120 and he got 33 points and eight assists. The Hawks now sit at tenth in the East, and the trade rumors continue to be mentioned, as some say this era of the Atlanta Hawks is about to be dismantled in an attempt at rebuilding post trade deadline. Trae Young may be rewarded this season for another All-Star spot, but the team…
British police were searching for a man suspected of injuring several people by throwing a corrosive chemical on them, while his status as someone who had been granted asylum after a sexual assault conviction added a political element to the case.

Three other women and one man who came to their aid suffered minor burns injuries and five police officers…
