Semyon Varlamov finally breaks a two‑year win drought as the New York Islanders defeat the Nashville Predators 4‑3 in a shootout on Oct. 28, 2026.

Jayson Tatum delivers a clutch performance as the Boston Celtics edge the Brooklyn Nets 125-124 in overtime on Oct. 27, 2026. Tatum finishes with 40 points and eight assists, including the game-winner in the final second. The Nets, who led at halftime and forced OT, saw contributions from Michael Porter Jr. and Julius Randle, but Boston’s late surge—bolstered by Paul George’s 20 points and Derrick White’s 16—secures the win. Both teams struggled from beyond the arc, with the Celtics shooting just 2-16 in the first half. The victory caps a back‑to‑back night for Boston, preserving their league‑second best net rating.
The Indianapolis Colts have begun a mid‑season shake‑up, trading guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, but they draw a firm line at running back Jonathan Taylor. NFL insider Adam Schefter says ownership still views the 27‑year‑old All‑Pro as a franchise cornerstone and has no intention of moving him, despite the Giants' interest and their need for backfield help after Tyrone Tracy Jr. lands on IR. Unless the Colts change course, New York’s trade‑deadline options for a star rusher remain limited.
Brooklyn Nets forward Julius Randle drew a flopping technical foul during Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Celtics, giving Jayson Tatum a free throw in the second quarter at TD Garden. Officials called the non-unsportsmanlike technical at the 1:18 mark after Randle went down near the paint during a Nolan Traore drive. The call came […] The post Watch Nets’ Julius Randle get hit with technical foul for egregious flopping violation appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Despite starting 0-3, the Brooklyn Nets should show some fight with two-time All-NBA selection Julius Randle and 2023 NBA champion Michael Porter Jr. leading the way. The youth movement is most important, however. This franchise needs its young players to progress this season, but that probably cannot happen unless they are on the court.

Connor Hellebuyck wanted a change, and he finally has it.

The Philadelphia Phillies overhaul their coaching crew as Don Mattingly signs a two‑year contract to manage. On Oct. 28, they appoint Peter Fatse as hitting coach with Joe Cronin and Edwar Gonzalez as assistant hitting coaches, and add former Mets manager Carlos Mendoza as a senior advisor. The new trio will focus on improving plate discipline and run production to push the Phillies back into postseason contention, while Mattingly aims to implement a unified offensive philosophy from spring training onward.
Greg Dulcich emerges as a low‑risk Week 8 fantasy streamer after posting a career‑high 5 catches for 86 yards in Miami’s 28‑25 win over the Jets. He led the Dolphins in receptions, yards and targets (five), averaging 17.2 yards per catch and snapping 42 of 65 offensive plays. Through six games he has 18 receptions for 213 yards but no touchdowns. With a similar target load against New England, he could provide modest TE upside in deeper leagues, though his role remains secondary in a spread passing attack.
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai skips Tuesday's media-open walk‑through, leaving his Week 8 availability against Seattle in doubt. The 24‑year‑old has missed the last three games with toe and thumb injuries but has already logged 324 rushing yards and three TDs in four appearances, including a 146‑yard effort versus the Jets. He may return to practice later this week, but the first official injury report isn’t due until Thursday. With D’Andre Swift leading the backfield and Roschon Johnson handling change‑of‑pace duties, fantasy owners should treat Monangai as a risky play until his status is confirmed.

DeBoer claims none of his six defensemen earned a spot, leaving the team with an odd configuration for the October 27 matchup against the Predators. Fans wonder if Mayfield will see penalty‑kill minutes or simply serve as emergency depth.

The Knicks host the 3‑0 Pistons on Oct. 27 at Madison Square Garden, sparking a lively game‑day thread. New York, reeling from Mitchell Robinson’s injury, has been shooting poorly and hopes a hot three‑point night can lift their O‑rating from the bottom of the league.
