Osasuna upset La Liga leaders Real Madrid 2-1 on Saturday, with Ante Budimir scoring from the spot in the 38th minute, Vinícius Júnior equalizing in the 73rd, and veteran Raúl García clinching it deep in stoppage time.

ESPN's First Take debated whether Boston's Jaylen Brown or Denver's Nikola Jokic deserves NBA MVP honors before tonight's primetime matchup, sparking fan backlash over the comparison. Brown averages 29.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 51 games while Tatum recovers from an Achilles injury, though advanced stats favor Jokic's 28.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists with elite efficiency for the fourth-place Nuggets.
