The WNBA had its own Willis Reed moment in Game 3 of the Finals when Elena Delle Donne suited up despite a herniated disc in her back. The reigning MVP proved to be the inspiration the Washington Mystics needed as they defeated the Connecticut Sun, 94-81, to take a 2-games-to-1 lead in the best of five series. Washington will have a chance to clinch its first title tonight as the Mystics face the Sun in Connecticut. Tip off is 8:00 p.m. EST at Mohegan Sun Arena. To get Dunkel's pick, click HERE.
The Carolina Hurricanes (3-0-0) are off to a 3-0 start for just the second time in franchise history and have managed to overcome third period deficits in each win. They'll try to keep that hot streak going tonight as they travel to Florida to face a Panthers (1-1-0) team that is coming off a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. EST at BB&T Center. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NHL schedule, click HERE.
Week 5 in the NFL resulted in its first coaching casualty as the Redskins parted ways with Jay Gruden after five-plus years and a 35-49-1 record. At 0-5 this season and No. 30 in the latest Dunkel NFL Index, the move is not surprising. Gruden will be replaced on an interim basis by Bill Callahan, who actually looks to have a shot at winning his first game as the Redskins travel to Miami on Sunday to face the 0-5 Dolphins.
