In the news ...

Euros and Copa America semis continue on — We have our first two finalists in both the Euros and the Copa America tournaments, with Spain and Argentina winning, respectively. We'll find out who they'll be facing off with after today. Euros action has Netherlands vs. England this afternoon, while Copa America's second semifinal match sees Uruguay facing off against Colombia. Personally, we like a parlay of England and Uruguay to both advance at +225 on DraftKings, but for a more in-depth preview, tap in here.
 
Wimbledon semifinals taking shape — We have our first men's semis matchup set, and it should be a great one between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev. We'll know by the end of today who rounds out the final four on the men's side, with Novak Dkojovic headlining the bottom-half of the bracket. As for the women, we have Jasmine Paolini and Donna Vekic set to meet later this week in the semis, with Elena Rybakina the +105 favorite to win the whole thing. Rybakina won her quarterfinal match this morning in straight sets over Elina Svitolina.  

Cade Cunningham signs five-year extension with Pistons — It was expected to come through, and it finally has, as budding young star guard Cade Cunningham has agreed to a five-year maximum contract worth as much as $269 million. Cunningham is Detroit's centerpiece as they move into a new season with new coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The Pistons have been one of the NBA's worst teams the past few seasons, and currently own the second-longest odds to win the East.
