The Houston Rockets will make the trip to California to face off with the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area's Chase Center, the Dubs' home arena, this Sunday (April 5) evening. At that game, the Rockets are going to be looking to keep their current win streak moving forward as the end of the 2025-26 NBA regular season draws close to its end.On the other side of the court, the Warriors are going to be looking to snap an extended losing streak -- and they might have some help in the injury department to make that happen. We expect a Rockets win, but should said player be able to contribute at a normal level, this one might be closer than it looks.Records, standing, and streaksAt present, the Rox have a 48-29 record and a five-game win streak, which has them fifth in the Western Conference standings.The Dubs are the owners of a 36-41 record, good enough for 10th in the West.What happened in the last game for each team?Houston beat the Utah Jazz 140-106 at home.Golden State lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-101, also at home.InjuriesFor Houston, Steven Adams (ankle) and Fred VanVleet (ACL) are out.For Golden State, Jimmy Butler (ACL), Al Horford (soleus), Moses Moody (foot), and Quinten Post (foot) are out, and both Steph (knee) and Seth Curry (adductor) are questionable.Probable starting lineups - RocketsKevin DurantJabari Smith Jr.Alperen SengunAmen ThompsonReed SheppardProbable starting lineups - WarriorsDraymond GreenGui SantosKristaps PorzingisDe'Anthony MeltonBrandin PodziemskiWhat time is tipoff, and on what channels?Here's when you should tune in to see the game:Date: 4/5Time: 7:00 p.m. CTTV Channel: NBCLive Stream: Fubo (watch for free)This article originally appeared on Rockets Wire: Rockets vs. Warriors: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (4/5)

Sunderland Warned Over Nigel Farrage Controversy: Does Their Remarkable Season Deserve Better Than This Political Theatre?Sunderlands impressive return to the Premier League has suffered a bit of controversy after club co-owner Juan Sartori, who owns a 34 per cent stake, invited Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to a home match at the Stadium of Light. The news, reported by Football Insider and ITV News in late March 2026, surfaced just days after Farages appearance at Ipswich Town sparked backlash from fans.On the Inside Track podcast, veteran football executive Keith Wyness, the 67-year-old former CEO of Aberdeen, Everton, and Aston Villa,offered a cautious take. Wyness, now a consultant for elite clubs, said he has always fought against politics in sport and admitted he disliked how the situation was unfolding.While he noted that clubs play a role in the community, he argued that getting dragged into politics causes unnecessary damage. He also questioned the authenticity of the social media storm surrounding the invite, suggesting that deep fakes and AI-generated content mean the story should be treated with scepticism.What did Wyness say?Lets not get too excited about this. I have always fought against politics in sport, and I dont like the way that this is shaping up to be. I dont think clubs should be getting involved in that, but I dont really see how people and fans are saying theyre being hurt and upset. That to me is just wrong, but theres a role that clubs can play, and they shouldnt be getting dragged into politics where possible.Im afraid in todays social media landscape all these sorts of stunts do happen, and you know what, it may not even be a stadium visit. Some of it may have been AI, for all I know these days.There are so many deep fakes and different things going around. I could probably make a video today of Nigel Farage going to Spurs. You could probably make that up.Lets be careful about all the stuff thats out there. Football is so important and so big in lifethat its not surprising that its infiltrated. So Im pretty sanguine about the whole thing, and you just have to move on to the next headline.Sartori originally met Farage at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, where he expressed his admiration for the Reform UK leader and suggested he visit Sunderland. Farage has framed the visit around the Independent Football Regulator, claiming clubs should talk to national leaders about the new body. Meanwhile, Ipswich chairman Mark Ashton has since apologised for any anguish caused by Farages visit there, confirming the club is now reviewing its policy on politicians.Do Sunderlands Remarkable Season Deserve Better Than This Political Theatre?SUNDERLAND, ENGLAND JULY 31: Sunderland co-owner Juan Sartori (c) smiles during the Sky Bet Championship between Sunderland and Coventry City at Stadium of Light on July 31, 2022 in Sunderland, England. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images)Sunderland are currently 11th in the Premier League with 43 points, level with Brighton and just one point ahead of Newcastle. With a top-ten finish still possible, this 2025-26 campaign is a huge deal for fans, marking the clubs first year back in the top flight since 2017. Most expected a relegation scrap, but the team have comfortably held their own in mid-table.This makes the Farage story even more awkward. Sartori, a Uruguayan senator who finished second in his countrys 2019 leadership race, is open about his right-wing views. However, his Davos-inspired admiration for Farage doesnt sit well in Sunderland. The Black Cats have a working-class, community-focused fanbase, and many supporters on social media called the invite a slap in the face from a director who rarely spends time in the region.Wyness is right, that clubs shouldnt be used as political tools. This feels less like civic openness and more like a director using the club to suit his own interests. Financial expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Sunderland will likely face protests if the visit happens. Ultimately, the problem isnt just a politician at a game; its the club facilitating a campaign-style event. Majority owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus worked hard to rebuild trust with fans. Letting a Davos friendship ruin a historic season would be a massive lapse in judgment, and one that fans wont forget as easily as a loss on the pitch.

Kohli needed just two runs at the start of the match to break Rohits record of 1,161 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, and reached the mark in the first over.Building such records in T20 cricket requires consistency over time, regular selection and multiple matches against the same opponent. Kohli has done that against CSK over the years, adding to his tally in repeated meetings.Rohit has scored 1,161 runs in 36 IPL matches against Kolkata Knight Riders. Kohli has now moved ahead with 1,174 runs against Chennai Super Kings.Kohli was dismissed for 28 off 18 balls by Anshul Kamboj, with RCB at 37 for 1 in 4.3 overs.
