Warriors favored to repeat

NEW YORK (AP)-- According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Golden State Warriors are the favorites to win the 2023 title -- just ahead of the Boston Celtics.

Brooklyn is the third choice in odds posted immediately after Game 6 of this year's finals ended, followed by Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Clippers -- who get Kawhi Leonard back next season. Phoenix, Miami, Philadelphia, Memphis and Dallas round out the top 10 in the odds posted by FanDuel.

Of course, take any prediction right now with a grain of salt.

When last season ended Brooklyn was the runaway favorite to win the 2022 NBA title. The Nets didn't win a playoff game, getting swept by the Celtics in Round 1.

Vick adds low amateur at U.S. Open

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) -- Travis Vick was already an NCAA team champion at Texas. Now he can add low amateur at the U.S Open to his resume.

Vick shot a 3-over 73 at The Country Club on Sunday to finish at 8-over par for the tournament and claim a silver medal from the USGA. Vick also had the winning point for Texas in the national championship earlier this month.

"It's kind of been like a golfer's high in a sense," Vick said Sunday. "I qualified for the Open, and then the following week we go to the NCAAs and end up winning. Then I get here and finish low am."

Vick was 1 under to make the cut after shooting 70 and 69 in the first two rounds. He followed that with a 76 -- blowing up with a 9 on the eighth hole on Saturday -- and then shooting 73 to finish two strokes ahead of Sam Bennett (73), who played for rival Texas A&M.

Austin Greaser (17 over) and Stewart Hagestad (19 over) were the only other amateurs to make the cut.

Starting at /week.
