MEN’S BASKETBALL: Luka Doncic hit 33 points as Dallas Mavericks stole home advantage with a 108-105 win at the Minnesota Timberwolves this morning in their first leg of their Western Conference final. The second leg in Minnesota tips off early tomorrow. In the East, runaway conference champions Boston begin their seven match finals series tomorrow against Indiana, who finished sixth, 17 games back, in the regular season.

SPEEDWAY: Nine former winners are among the 16 riders that will contest the British Championship at Manchester’s National Speedway Stadium in a fortnight’s time. Alongside defending two-time champion Dan Bewley on the start-list is three-time winner Chris Harris, 2021’s champion Adam Ellis and former World Champion Tai Woffinden. This year’s winner is also guaranteed a place at the international British Grand Prix Event in August.

NETBALL: Super League table-toppers Manchester Thunder are at Team Bath tomorrow evening as they look to maintain their three point lead over second-placed Loughborough, who host bottom club Strathclyde. Level on points with Loughborough in third, London Pulse aren’t in action until tomorrow when they have home court advantage against Cardiff and Surrey play Leeds. Tonight’s other game sees Saracens travelling to the Severn Stars.
