 Basketball 

Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics dribbles against the New York Knicks.

NBA 

Every NBA game feels like a big one at this point in the season. Who looks capable of making a deep playoff run? Who will sneak their way into the Play-In Tournament? These next few weeks will make all the difference.

We've got another doubleheader on Sunday Night Basketball this week. It all starts with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have now clinched their division, taking on the Mavericks in Dallas. Keep the night going with the Golden State Warriors trying to hold on to Play-In positioning as they face the Rockets. Houston experienced a recent slump that dropped them down a few spots, and they need some late-season wins if they want to skip the Play-In and head straight to the Playoffs.

Come back for a battle in the Eastern Conference on Peacock NBA Monday, when the New York Knicks take on the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks have been up and down in recent weeks, but are still third in the East and only two and a half games behind Boston. They're already playoff bound, but Atlanta has high hopes for the postseason as well. You never know which Knicks team you're going to get this late in the season, and the Hawks could see this game as an opportunity to secure a spot in the NBA Playoffs first round. Then, keep the fun going into the week with another doubleheader on Coast 2 Coast Tuesday. The Hornets kick off the night against the Celtics, and the Rockets close it out against the Suns.

  • Sunday, April 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks 
  • Tuesday, April 7 at 11 p.m. ET: Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns 
  • Tuesday, April 7 at 7 p.m. ET: Charlotte Hornets vs. Boston Celtics 
  • Monday, April 6 at 6 p.m. ET: New York Knicks vs. Atlanta Hawks 
  • Sunday, April 5 at 10 p.m. ET: Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors

Soccer 

Declan Rice of Arsenal heads clear under pressure from AFC Bournemouth's James Hill during a Premier League match.

Gainbridge Super League

With other leagues taking an international break this week, there's never been a better time to support a local club. The Gainbridge Super League brings you topflight women's soccer from all over the country, and right now, the race for the playoffs is on. Sporting JAX remains on top, but a draw brought them just one point ahead of second-place Lexington SC. The top four are starting to separate from the rest of the league, but one weekend can change everything. If any of the bottom five teams want to make the playoffs, they need to start pulling off some big wins now.

  • Saturday, April 4 at 2 p.m. ET: Sporting JAX vs. Brooklyn FC 
  • Monday, April 6 at 6:30 p.m. ET: Fort Lauderdale United FC vs. DC Power FC

  • Saturday, April 4 at 5:30 p.m. ET: Dallas Trinity FC vs. Spokane Zephyr FC 

Liga MX

Chivas is now a full three points ahead at the top of the Clausura. That's a huge reversal of their Apertura campaign, which was spent fighting to stay in playoff position. Now on a four-game winning streak, they'll try to make it five when they host Pumas UNAM. That's gonna be a tough match. Not only is Pumas a top-four club, but this is a long-burning rivalry. There's a ton of pressure going into this one, but that only means the Estadio Akron home crowd will be at its loudest.

  • Sunday, April 5 at 9:30 p.m. ET: Chivas vs. Pumas (Español)

Watch soccer on Peacock.

Darts

Premier League of Darts

Luke Littler is back on top of the pro darts world after big wins in Dublin and Berlin. Now, the action heads back to the U.K., as the best in the world face off in Manchester. Jonny Clayton is two points behind Littler in second and hopes to catch up to the 19-year-old phenom this week.

USGA

Amateur golfers get their time to shine at one of the most exclusive courses in the country. The Augusta National Women's Amateur gives up-and-coming golfers a chance to play on one of the grandest stages in the sport. This course is legendary for a reason, and it's always exciting to see how amateur golfers tackle it. The ones who do it best may make a name for themselves in the LPGA someday too.

  • Saturday, April 4 at 12 p.m. ET: Augusta National Women’s Amateur — Final Round 

PGA TOUR

The PGA TOUR pros stick around for another weekend in Texas. The Valero Texas Open brings the best in the sport to The Oaks Course in TPC San Antonio. This is the third-oldest event on the PGA TOUR calendar, so there's a ton of history here. When golfer's play here, they know they're competing with the best to ever do it.

  • Saturday, April 4 at 3:30 p.m. ET: Valero Texas Open — Round 3 
  • Sunday, April 5 at 2:30 p.m. ET: Valero Texas Open — Final Round

Motorsports

SuperMotocross

The Supercross title standings got a major shake-up in Detroit last weekend when Ken Roczen dominated what turned out to be one of the most challenging tracks of the season. A major crash from former points leader Hunter Lawrence cost him big and put Eli Tomac in the top spot... for now. As last week proved, anything can happen in Supercross and that's especially true at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. The engines roar louder, and the racing feels tighter. Lawrence earned a victory here last season, and he hopes to do it again and get back on top.

  • Saturday, April 4 at 1 p.m. ET: Race Day Live — St. Louis, MO 
  • Saturday, April 4 at 7 p.m. ET: Round 12 — St. Louis, MO
