This weekend we will focus on the Kentucky Derby, the Madrid Masters, the NBA<\/a> Playoffs and NHL<\/a> Playoffs. Here are five intriguing events to keep an eye on. Odds courtesy of betonline.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Madrid Masters Finals–Tennis Channel\/TSN–Saturday & Sunday–12:30 PM ET<\/h2>\n

The women’s final of the Madrid Masters is on Saturday, and the men’s final is on Sunday. What we know now is Jessica Pegula of the United States (+173) will face Ons Jabeur of Tunisia (-193) in the women’s final.<\/p>\n

4) New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins–TNT\/Sportsnet\/CBC–Saturday–7 PM ET<\/h2>\n

In an exciting first round series so far, the New York Rangers (-115) and Pittsburgh Penguins (+104) are deadlocked at one game apiece. The Penguins won 4-3 in triple overtime in game one on Tuesday before the Rangers responded with a 5-2 win on Thursday. Evgeni Malkin was the Penguins star in game one of the series as he scored the second overtime winner of his NHL career.<\/p>\n

3) Milwaukee Bucks @ Boston Celtics–ABC\/NBA TV Canada–Saturday–3:30 PM ET<\/h2>\n

The Bucks (-125) and Celtics (+105) are deadlocked at one game apiece. The Bucks clearly miss Khris Middleton, who is out with a MCL Sprain. The Celtics won game two in convincing fashion by a score of 109-86. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 30 points.<\/p>\n

2) Memphis Grizzlies @ Golden State Warriors–ABC\/TSN–Saturday-8:30 pm ET<\/h2>\n

The big news heading into game three between the Grizzlies (+240) and Warriors (-285) is the fact that Canadian Dillon Brooks will miss the contest due to a one-game suspension. Brooks committed a flagrant foul on Gary Payton II in the early stages of game two of the Western Conference semifinals. As a result, Payton has a broken elbow and will be out long term. The series is deadlocked at a game apiece.<\/p>\n

1) Kentucky Derby–NBC\/TSN4–6:57 pm ET<\/h2>\n

The 148th running of the Kentucky Derby takes place at Churchill Downs on Saturday. When it comes to the odds, Zandon is at 3-1, while Epicenter is at 7-2 at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
