West Ham: Hermansen; Walker-Peters, Disasi, Mavropanos, Diouf; Bowen, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville; Pablo, Taty. Subs: Areola, Wilson, Adama, Todibo, Magassa, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Potts, Kante rocore.sbs

Nuno Espírito Santo has rolled back the years in an attempt to save West Ham. He has gone old-school, switching to a gung-ho 4-4-2 system to give his side more threat in the final third. Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos, both January arrivals, have altered the face of the attack, but neither forward has been prolific. Castellanos has scored three goals in all competitions since joining from Lazio and Pablo, who is yet to open his account in English football, failed to convert during last week’s penalty shootout defeat by Leeds in the FA Cup. As a pair, though, Castellanos and Pablo have been oddly effective. Are they any good? Unclear. Do they run around a lot and give a previously ponderous West Ham more energy? Undoubtedly. Played together, Pablo and Castellanos do a worthy job for the team. Importantly, they create space for the wingers, Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville, who hopes to return from a calf injury for Friday night’s vital home game against Wolves. Bowen and Summerville are the big threats; they are West Ham’s main source of goals, but both are more dangerous with Pablo and Castellanos in the team. Jacob Steinberg

Stars’ Heiskanen to have MRI, status uncertain for Game 1 of playoffs

The fate of Miro Heiskanen will be known soon.

The top Dallas Stars defenceman will have an MRI to assess the severity of his lower-body injury, general manager Jim Nill told reporters Friday.

Heiskanen was hurt in the first period of Thursday’s win over the Minnesota Wild following a check from Ryan Hartman and exited immediately. He did not return to the contest.

The 26-year-old has nine goals and 54 assists through 77 games this season.

Radek Faksa and Michael Bunting were spotted skating Friday, with Bunting “hopeful” to play Saturday against the New York Rangers, per Nill.

Faksa has been out of the Dallas lineup since he suffered an upper-body injury while representing Czechia at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Bunting, meanwhile, was forced out of a March 29 game against the Philadelphia Flyers with a lower-body injury.

The Stars have already clinched a playoff spot and are jostling for seeding in the competitive Central Division. They are four points ahead of the third-place Minnesota Wild with three games to go.

Titans host Georgia Tech DT Jordan van den Berg on a pre-draft visit

Not only are the Tennessee Titans busy hosting players at their local pro day, but it also appears they are busy with other prospects as well.

On a social media post, Georgia Tech defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg indicated he is spending the day at Vanderbilt Medical Football Center with the Titans.

One of the more shocking NFL Scouting Combine snubs, van den Berg put on a show at his pro day, putting up numbers that would have squarely placed him near the top of those tested at the combine. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound defensive lineman showed off his athletic prowess and recorded some of the best measurables in this class with a 4.19 shuttle, a 36-inch vertical, a 4.91 40-yard dash, and 35 reps at 225 on the bench.

A fifth-year senior, van den Berg broke out as a senior in his second season with Georgia Tech, after three years at Penn State. More of a run stuffer than a pass rusher, he is stout at the point of attack and can be disruptive by forcing double teams. He finished his college career with 90 total tackles (48 solo), 5 5. sacks and one forced fumble over 54 games.

The Titans could look to add another interior presence in the draft, and van den Berg could be an intriguing sleeper that has the athletic profile to fit Robert Saleh’s scheme.

Former Duke star Kon Knueppel on tanking: 'Losing is never okay'

The Charlotte Hornets are enjoying their best season since the 2015-16 campaign, the last year that the franchise made the playoffs.

With two regular season games remaining, the Hornets have totaled 43 wins, tying their second-best mark in the last 10 seasons.

Former Duke Blue Devil Kon Knueppel has played a large role in Charlotte's success, as the franchise works tirelessly to establish a new culture.

Knueppel spoke to the Charlotte Observer recently about his mindset and desire to win, despite the Hornets' slow start to begin the season.

"I remember talking to [Jeff Peterson] when we were 4-14," he said. "It's like, losing is never okay. As a player, most players feel that way. Some teams would have just packed it up and been like, 'All right, we're tanking the rest of the year.' And we didn't."

Since then, Charlotte went on a tremendous run before the All-Star break and has now won 11 of their last 15 games as they eye a postseason berth. The final two games of the regular season will determine if Charlotte gets in as a top-six seed or a Play-In Tournament team.

Knueppel and the Hornets will return to action Friday against the Pistons before finishing the regular season Sunday against the Knicks.
