NBA: Rookie of the Year favorite LaMelo Ball suffered a broken wrist and is expected to miss the rest of the Hornets’ season, according to ESPN. Also: Lakers star LeBron James is sidelined indefinitely with a high-ankle sprain.

NCAAW: Top tourney seeds N.C. State, South Carolina, UConn, and Stanford all advanced to the second round.

NFL: The league announced that the 2021 NFL Draft will be held in Cleveland, with some players and fans onsite during the April 29-May 1 event.

No. 6 USC at No. 3 Kansas

Watch: 9:40 p.m. ET, CBS

Odds: USC -1 || O/U 134.5

Pick: As indicated by this line, the last Round of 32 matchup is expected to be tightly contested. David McCormack (22 PTS, 9 REB, 2 AST) returned Saturday in the Jayhawks’ beatdown of Eastern Washington. The Trojans’ projected No. 2 pick, Evan Mobley (17 PTS, 11 REB, 3 BLK), dominated in their blowout of Drake. 

We’re trusting the Pac-12 to keep it rolling in a game where USC’s ultra-slow tempo (241st in nation) limits possessions and frustrates Bill Self and co. Take the Trojans and lean under.

Shoutout: On Friday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of North Carolina-Wisconsin, the score, and the leading scorer.

The Badgers won 85-62, and Brad Davison led the way with a game-high 29. 

While Sports Section had the over, we dropped the ball by taking the Tar Heels and laying the -1.5 points. We weren’t the only ones who didn’t believe in the Badgers — no subscriber had Wisconsin or Davison.

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
