We know the slam-dunk first-round picks, but here are some surprise players who could land in the top 32

Tuesday night's No. 9 vs. No. 10 play-in game between the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat should be a fun one. On one side, you have the surprising Hornets, who have been one of the NBA's teams since January. It's been a long time since they've been on this kind of stage, and we should be curious to see how their run plays out. On the other side, you have the usually competitive, tough-nosed Heat, who have kind of become a mainstay in the play-in tournament (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it). Who's announcing this game and setting the stage on Amazon? Why, it's none other than the duo of play-by-play person Eric Collins and color analyst Dell Curry, who are, coincidentally, the home announcers for the Hornets and also do national broadcasting for Amazon. The game begins at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday on Amazon Prime. Enjoy the matchup, everyone!This article originally appeared on For The Win: Heat-Hornets announcers for NBA play-in game on Amazon

Bruno Fernandes channelled Jose Mourinho's infamous 2014 media moment when declining to comment on referee Paul Tierney following Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Leeds United at Old Trafford on Monday evening.The Portuguese captain, visibly frustrated after the final whistle, told Sky Sports: "I'm not talking about the referee. If I talk about the referee I'm going to get in very big trouble because the rules are different for everyone and they play different for everyone."His response bore a striking resemblance to Mourinho's viral remarks after Chelsea lost to Aston Villa 12 years ago, when the then-Blues manager said: "I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble. In big trouble. And I don't want to be in big trouble."Michael Carrick was equally scathing in his assessment, branding the dismissal "shocking" and questioning the direction of modern football.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe United manager said: "That's a red card then? The game's gone."Speaking to Sky Sports, Carrick described it as "one of the worst I've ever seen" and insisted his defender had done nothing aggressive.Carrick explained: "He's literally tickled his hair. First of all, he got a forearm smash in his face. "As Licha is reacting to that and trying to grab all his shirt, he's off-balance a little bit with the tussle. He kind of touches the back of his head and the bobble ends up popping out."The manager added: "He didn't pull. It wasn't aggressive. He didn't jolt. It wasn't anything like that."The incident occurred in the 54th minute when Martinez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin contested for the ball.Referee Tierney initially missed the altercation, but VAR intervened and directed him to the pitchside monitor.After reviewing the footage, which showed Martinez pulling the Leeds striker's hair, Tierney issued a straight red card for violent conduct.LATEST SPORT NEWSPremier League boss tells club he will leave at the end of the seasonMikel Arteta goes on animated rant after being pressed on Arsenal crumbling: 'Fire!
