The bespoke trunk—designed to protect and highlight the Las Vegas Grand Prix trophy—appeared throughout the event, including on the starting grid, during the national ant

In recent years, the role of analytics in sports has grown exponentially, and nowhere is that more evident than in NFL betting. What was once a space dominated by gut feelings, casual observations, and simple statistics like rushing yards and touchdowns has now evolved into a data-driven environment, where advanced metrics guide both team strategies and betting lines. As more bettors seek an edge, sportsbooks have increasingly turned to data-driven insights to set and adjust

Turns out, defending the HEAT’s breakneck offense at 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon is not exactly a good time. Another hot start for Norm Powell, as we’ve come to expect at this point, as two threes helped him along to eight of Miami’s first 12, Pelle Larsson holding it down on the other side taking two early charges, including one with his face. The Sixers – no look at VJ Edgecombe or Joel Embiid today – hung around for a bit despite their own cold shooting, but as Davion Mitch

The Pro Padel League arrives at the SCOPE Art Show this December with a beachside installation that blends sport, contemporary art, and celebrity energy throughout Miami Art Week 2025.

Set against an expansive winter landscape, Gucci enters the world of alpine sportswear with its new Gucci Altitude collection. The campaign positions high-altitude performance at the center, blending technical construction with the House’s recognizable design codes to explore the space between motion and stillness.

Same teams, same missing stars, same lineups as in Friday night’s loss in New York. Same game, too, only with a different result. After Karl-Anthony Towns exploded for 31 points in the first half a few nights ago, Erik Spoelstra dialed up the help in the second half and had his group double Towns just about any time he put the ball on the deck, and especially when he had the ball in the post – which is partially why someone like Landry Shamet had the studio space to go off as

World Sevens Football (W7F) proudly introduces Rising Sevens, a youth version of the World Sevens Football experience designed to give the next generation of elite players a platform to shine.

Miami and Portland have next to zero history on the basketball court, but whenever they meet something interesting almost always happens. There’s been a little feast or famine to Miami’s offense in these two games without Bam Adebayo, and in this one they opened 1-of-15 from the field and 0-of-9 in the paint, second-year center Donovan Clingan giving them issues in the paint with his rim protection as he also tipped at least two lobs headed the direction of Kel’el Ware. Portl

It’s the kind of headline that belongs in a movie—but for Miami’s own Michael Iavarone, it’s real life. The investment advisor and horseman—recently featured in Netflix’s Race for the Crown —made headlines across the racing world this weekend when a share he purchased in Thoroughbred Bentornato for $1 million at the Keeneland Championship Sale turned into a Breeders’ Cup victory just three days later . On October 29 , during Keeneland’s Championship Sale held in the Del M

While every opponent presents unique defensive challenges, Miami’s offensive process has been remarkably consistent early on. The efficiency, however, hasn’t always been there against the variety of defenses presented to them, and against a Los Angeles team missing LeBron James but still led by two dynamic offensive engines, the HEAT needed a little bit more out of their attack. No Norm Powell again, so Pelle Larsson remains in the starting lineup while Jaxson Hayes slots in
