Greetings from Las Vegas — the next-best place to watch the Masters.
Circa’s Stadium Swim was packed Friday afternoon when I stopped in for the Augusta-inspired pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches at course prices ($1.50).
Did Rory McIlroy ruin a weekend of Masters betting?
With a six-shot lead, the defending champion isn't leaving a lot of hope to those with outright wagers on everyone else.
But there are still ways to play this board.
VSiN angles:
• Wes Reynolds: Value still exists in other markets down the board.
• Matt Youmans: Justin Rose (22-1) has the best chance to chase McIlroy.
• Kelley Bydlon: Not fading Rory — but Top 10s stand out:
- Scottie Scheffler (+102)
- Xander Schauffele (+102)
👉 Round 3 predictions from our guys →
Odds (DraftKings):
McIlroy -250
Reed +1500
Fleetwood +1800
Rose +2050
👉 Round 3 tee times (Rory 2:50 ET) →
Playoff picture snapping into place.
Friday’s results locked in the top of the East:
• Celtics → No. 2
• Knicks → No. 3
• Cavaliers → No. 4
Also decided: The Hawks are officially a top-six team after beating Cleveland.
On the flip side: The Hornets are headed to the Play-In — a surprise given how well they’ve played over the last few months.
West watch:
Rockets stumble — and it could reshape the bracket.
• Houston’s loss to Minnesota puts the Lakers on track to host a 4-5 series
• That matchup gets interesting if Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves return mid-series
But here’s the twist:
The Lakers can still climb to No. 3.
• Lakers vs. Jazz (Sunday)
• Nuggets vs. Spurs
• L.A. owns the tiebreaker
Decision looming:
Do the Lakers push for the 3-seed — or stay put for a favorable matchup with Houston?
Play-In taking shape:
The Blazers are closing in on the No. 7 seed after beating the Clippers.
• A win over Sacramento locks it in
• Likely matchup: Blazers vs. Suns (7-8 game)
👉 Coming Sunday: The regular-season finale.
