The NBA spent all week unveiling its 2025-26 regular season schedule in a piecemeal process that reflected the league's sprawling new media rights deals. After years of contentious negotiations, fans will now flip among ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, NBA TV and Amazon's Prime Video for national broadcasts. TNT's long run has ended, though Charles Barkley and the rest of the popular 'Inside The NBA' cast will appear on ESPN at times throughout the season.

Monasterio's 3-run blast in 11th inning sets Brewers' record

CINCINNATI (AP) — Andruw Monasterio hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers won their franchise-record 14th game in a row 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night. It was the 13th straight series loss for the Reds against the Brewers. Elly De La Cruz scored on a sacrifice fly in the 11th and Noelvi Marte hit a solo home run to bring the game within one. Matt McLain hit deep to center field, but Brandon Lockridge caught it for the final out. Trevor Megill (4-2) allowed one run and one hit, striking out two in the 10th. Nick Mears earned his first save of the season. Reds lefty Joe La Sorsa (0-1) gave up three runs and three hits. CUBS 3, PIRATES 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Seiya Suzuki hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and Chicago beat Pittsburgh for a sorely needed victory. Kyle Tucker hit a leadoff single against Evan Sisk (0-1) and stole second before coming home on Suzuki's grounder into center field. Nico Hoerner tacked on a two-out RBI double following an intentional walk to Ian Happ. Chicago had dropped four of five, including a 3-2 loss in the series opener on Friday. Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga pitched seven innings of three-hit ball. Andrew Kittredge (3-3) got three outs before Brad Keller handled the ninth for his first save. Tommy Pham homered for Pittsburgh, which lost for the sixth time in seven games. Rookie Mike Burrows permitted one run and five hits in five innings. Imanaga retired his first 10 batters before Pham connected for his sixth homer in the fourth, a 428-foot drive to left. The Cubs got the run back in the bottom half when Tucker scored on Carson Kelly's two-out single. BLUE JAYS 14, RANGERS 2 TORONTO (AP) — Myles Straw had five RBIs in his first career multihomer game, and Toronto hammered struggling Texas. Daulton Varsho and Davis Schneider also went deep as the AL-leading Blue Jays improved to 42-20 at home. Varsho went 3 for 3 and scored three times, and Schneider had three hits and four RBIs. Straw hit a three-run homer off Patrick Corbin in Toronto's six-run second inning. He also connected for his fourth homer in the third, a two-run shot off Jon Gray. He finished with four hits. Varsho made it 10-1 with a first-pitch homer off Gray in the fifth, his 13th. Schneider added a three-run shot off position player Rowdy Tellez in the seventh, his eighth. Toronto's Eric Lauer (8-2) allowed one run and four hits in five-plus innings, winning his fourth straight decision. Jake Burger had three hits, including two RBI singles, but Texas lost for the eighth time in nine games. NATIONALS 2, PHILLIES 0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Cade Cavalli earned his first major league victory, James Wood hit a two-run double, and Washington defeated Philadelphia. Cavalli struck out five and scattered seven hits over seven innings for Washington. The last-place Nationals have won three of four. Trea Turner had three hits for NL East-leading Philadelphia, which was shut out for the eighth time this season and lost for the fourth time in five games. Cavalli (1-0) was Washington's first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft and debuted in August 2022. He made only one start with the Nationals because of a shoulder injury, and didn't make it back to the majors until Aug. 6, after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. In his third start with Washington this season, Cavalli allowed only one runner to reach third. The 27-year-old right-hander retired the final eight batters he faced and needed only 90 pitches for the longest outing of his career. Washington didn't get a runner past second against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker (4-6) until the fifth inning, when Dylan Crews walked and moved to third on Brady House's single. Both runners scored when Wood doubled into the gap in right-center. METS 3, MARINERS 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Nolan McLean provided the struggling Mets a much-needed lift on Saturday, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut as New York beat Seattle. McLean (1-0) allowed two hits with four walks and struck out eight to help lift the Mets to just their third win in their last 17 games. The 24-year-old right-hander, a 2023 draft pick out of Oklahoma State, showed off a five-pitch arsenal that included a high-70s curveball, a high-80s sweeper, a 90-mph cutter and sinkers and fastballs measured in the high 90s. The crowd gave him three standing ovations — first when he walked off the mound in the sixth and again when he was pictured on the scoreboard prior to the seventh and ninth innings. Francisco Lindor had an RBI double in the third before the Mets added insurance in the seventh, when Juan Soto had a sacrifice fly and Pete Alonso hit a run-scoring double. Alonso now has 100 RBIs, the fourth time in his career he's reached the century mark. Edwin Díaz gave up Eugenio Suárez's ninth-inning homer but got the final six outs for his 24th save. RED SOX 7, MARLINS 5 BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Story hit a three-run homer, and Boston held off Miami Marlins for a victory. Roman Anthony and Alex Bregman — Boston's first two hitters — each had two hits as the Red Sox improved to 41-22 at Fenway Park. Brayan Bello (9-6) allowed two runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Masataka Yoshida hit a two-run single in the first, and the Red Sox added four more runs in the third. Bregman's RBI single made it 7-0 in the fourth. Agustín Ramírez and Troy Johnston homered for Miami, which lost for the seventh time in eight games. Cal Quantrill (4-10) was tagged for seven runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings. The Marlins rallied in the ninth against Isaiah Campbell. Heriberto Hernández hit a two-out RBI single and scored on Eric Wagaman's triple. Derek Hill added a run-scoring single. Aroldis Chapman then replaced Campbell and retired Javier Sanoja on a grounder to shortstop, earning his 22nd save. ASTROS 5, ORIOLES 4, 12 INNINGS HOUSTON (AP) — Ramón Urìas beat Jackson Holliday's throw to first, allowing Carlos Correa to score from third and Houston outlasted Baltimore Orioles n 12 innings. Urìas helped the AL West-leading Astros to their sixth walk-off victory of the season a night after ending a perfect game bid in the eighth against his old team. Houston increased its division lead to 1 1/2 games. With the bases loaded and one out, Urías — who was 0 for 6 — hit a grounder to third base, but instead of throwing home to get the second out, Jordan Westburg tried for the double play. Enyel De Los Santos (4-3) overcame the automatic runner and kept the Orioles off the board in the 11th and 12th. BRAVES 10, GUARDIANS 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Michael Harris II homered and doubled, Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Nick Allen each had three hits and Atlanta beat Cleveland. The Braves have won four straight and eight or their last 10 games, both season highs. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Marcell Ozuna had two hits apiece for the Braves. Joey Wentz (4-3) allowed one run and three hits in six innings, striking out five. The Braves struck first in the top of the second, as Alvarez drove in a run before Allen doubled in two. Bryan Rocchio hit a solo homer in the third to bring the Guardians within two runs, but Atlanta answered with seven runs in the middle innings. Hunter Stratton pitched the final three innings for his first save. Slade Cecconi (5-6) allowed eight runs (six earned) and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. ROYALS 6, WHITE SOX 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — John Rave homered playing in place of the ailing Vinnie Pasquantino and Kansas City beat Chicago to move above .500 for the first time since June 10. Pasquantino left in the first inning because of heat-related illness. The game-time temperature was 94 degrees, with the humidity above 50%. Nick Loftin moved to first base, and Rave took over for Loftin in left. Michael Lorenzen made his first start for Kansas City since July 6. He allowed three hits in four scoreless innings. Daniel Lynch IV (5-2) was the winner. Mike Yastrzemski led off the first with a homer off Sean Burke (4-10). The Royals added an unearned run in the second, and Rave made it 3-0 in the third with his fourth home. In the fifth, Rave singled and scored on Maikel Garcia's two-run double. Loftin had an RBI single in the sixth. Andrew Benintendi doubled in two runs for Chicago in the eighth. TIGERS 8, TWINS 5 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trey Sweeney drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Casey Mize struck out 10 batters, and Detroit beat Minnesota. Kerry Carpenter homered and Jahmai Jones had two hits and two RBIs for the Tigers, who have won six of their last seven games. Mize (12-4) gave up four runs on four hits to win his third straight start. The 10 strikeouts ties his career high. Kyle Finnegan pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his 24th save and fourth in four chances since arriving in a July 31 trade with the Nationals. Brooks Lee had a triple and drove in three runs for the Twins, who have lost five of six games. With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh, the Tigers rallied for three runs against r Brooks Kriske (0-1). Wenceel Pérez led off with a double and moved to third on an infield groundout. Dillon Dingler walked, and Sweeney followed with a smash that third baseman Royce Lewis couldn't handle. Pérez scored on what was ruled a single for Sweeney. Jones drove in another run with a double, and a third run scored on a wild pitch. The Twins got two back in the seventh and loaded the based with two out in the eighth, but Will Vest struck out Lee on three pitches to end that threat. Detroit added two runs in the ninth. YANKEES 12, CARDINALS 8 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ben Rice homered and tied a career high with seven RBIs, Aaron Judge also went deep in his first multi-hit game since the All-Star break and New York beat St. Louis. Trent Grisham singled four times and scored four runs, and Ryan McMahon hit his first homer since being acquired by the Yankees to overcome a shaky start by Max Fried (13-5). Masyn Winn hit a three-run homer and Nolan Gorman had a two-run shot for St. Louis as Fried yielded multiple homers for the third time this season. Fried notched his 1,000th career strikeout when he fanned Alec Burleson immediately after Winn's second-inning homer, but he exited after yielding seven runs on eight hits in five-plus innings. Gorman's 389-foot blast ended his outing with no outs in the sixth. After two-out infield singles by Winn and Burleson in the ninth, David Bednar entered and induced Iván Herrera to foul out for his 20th save. ROCKIES 10, DIAMONDBACKS 7 DENVER (AP) — Kyle Farmer had a go-ahead two-run single and Tyler Freeman added a two-run homer in Colorado's six-run run eighth inning in a victory over Arizona. After Andrew Hoffmann (1-1) struck out Hunter Goodman to open the eighth, Brenton Doyle doubled to left, Warming Bernabel and Kyle Karros walked, and Doyle doubled to center to drive in two and cut it to 7-6. Andrew Saalfrank took over for Hoffmann, allowing Farmer's go-ahead single and Freeman's homer. Ryan Rolison (1-0) pitched the eighth for Colorado, and Victor Vodnik worked the ninth for his sixth save. RAYS 2, GIANTS 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yandy Díaz and Brandon Lowe hit consecutive two-out RBI singles in the eighth inning, and Tampa Bay rallied for the second straight day to beat San Francisco. The Rays' offense had been on mute much of the day against three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, but broke out when Verlander left after seven scoreless innings. After No. 9 hitter Nick Fortes was hit by a pitch with two outs, Chandler Simpson singled before Díaz singled in Tampa Bay's first run off José Buttó (3-3). Lowe followed with his second hit of the game to drive in a run and hand the Giants their seventh consecutive loss. Edwin Uceta (9-2) retired four batters. Pete Fairbanks pitched the ninth for his 22nd save. Rays starter Adrian Houser matched his season-high of six strikeouts and allowed four hits over five scoreless innings making his third start since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox.

5 best psychological thriller movies to stream on Prime Video now

Psychological thrillers have a way of getting under your skin, keeping you on edge long after the movie ends. From tense mind games to stories that blur the line between reality and delusion, this genre thrives on pure shock factor. Luckily for streaming enthusiasts, Prime Video has a rich library of titles that will satisfy anyone craving a chilling, cerebral ride. Whether you prefer slow-burning tension, shocking reveals, or morally complex characters, there's something here for every thriller fan. In this list, we've rounded up five of the best psychological thriller movies currently available on Prime Video. I went into 'Blink Twice' knowing virtually nothing. That meant no trailer, no plot summary, nothing. Walking in blind turned out to be the best decision, because the less I knew, the more unsettling and intense the psychological twists felt. Frida (Naomi Ackie), a nail-art-loving cocktail waitress, works a high-profile event alongside her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat). There, the charming and enigmatic tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) takes notice and invites the pair to join him and his eclectic circle on a private island getaway. The moment they arrive, their phones are confiscated and they're treated to luxurious accommodations, lavish gifts, and heady cocktails. Initially, Frida and Jess find themselves immersed in paradise, mingling with Slater's friends and basking in fine food and indulgent company. But subtle oddities begin to creep in: visitors with matching snake tattoos, memory fogs, and a domestic worker who strangely calls Frida 'Red Rabbit.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Stream it on Prime Video If there's a single reason to watch 'Speak No Evil,' it's James McAvoy. He delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career, and frankly, his presence alone can overshadow any small missteps, particularly if you've seen the original and feel the urge to compare. 'Speak No Evil' follows the Dalton family — Louise (Mackenzie Davis), Ben (Scoot McNairy), and their daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler) — as they embark on a seemingly idyllic weekend getaway to a remote English farmhouse. The invitation comes from a British couple, Paddy (McAvoy) and Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), whom they met during a vacation in Italy. Initially charmed by their hosts, the Daltons soon find themselves unsettled by increasingly odd and intrusive behavior. As the weekend progresses, the family's discomfort escalates, leading to a tense and harrowing situation. Stream it on Prime Video Christopher Nolan delivers another masterclass in psychological thrillers with 'Memento.' The movie intricately examines how far someone will go to seek justice, weaving a story that challenges perception and memory. Its densely layered narrative rewards repeated viewings, with each watch uncovering fresh details and deeper insights into its carefully constructed puzzle. Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) is a man on a mission. After a traumatic incident, he suffers from short-term memory loss, leaving him unable to form new memories. To cope, he develops a meticulous system of notes, photographs, and tattoos to track information and people, determined to piece together the events that led to his wife's death. The story unfolds in a unique, disorienting structure: scenes are presented both forwards and backwards, mirroring Leonard's fractured memory. As he investigates, he encounters a mix of allies and potential threats, each interaction further blurring the line between truth and deception. Leonard's reliance on his own records and the people around him becomes a tense balancing act, as every decision carries weight he can't fully recall. Stream it on Prime Video 'The Handmaiden' is a compelling psychological thriller that intertwines deception, desire, and betrayal within a meticulously crafted narrative. The movie's intricate plot is divided into three parts, each offering a new perspective that recontextualizes the story's events. Set in 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule, 'The Handmaiden' follows Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri), a young Korean pickpocket, who is recruited by a conman posing as Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo). Their scheme involves Sook-hee becoming the handmaiden to Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee), a wealthy Japanese heiress living under the strict supervision of her uncle, Kouzuki (Cho Jin-woong). The plan is for Sook-hee to help Fujiwara seduce Lady Hideko, marry her, and have her committed to an asylum to claim her fortune. However, as Sook-hee and Lady Hideko grow closer, unexpected emotions and complexities arise, leading to a series of twists and revelations. Stream it on Prime Video Horror fans, I have a solid pick for you. 'Saint Maud' is a dark psychological thriller that isn't afraid to be frightening, as it delves into the unraveling mind of a devout nurse whose obsession with saving her patient's soul takes a chilling and unpredictable turn. Maud (Morfydd Clark), a deeply devout and socially isolated young nurse, takes on the care of Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), a glamorous but terminally ill dancer who lives alone in a modernist house. Maud is obsessed with salvation and sees her work as a calling, determined to guide Amanda toward spiritual redemption. As she tends to Amanda, Maud becomes increasingly consumed by her own beliefs, and the boundaries between her faith, reality, and obsession begin to blur. The movie follows Maud's descent into a world where her intense devotion and fragile mental state collide, creating a tense, unsettling atmosphere. As she interprets every action and word through the lens of her religious conviction, small incidents escalate into moments of profound dread. Stream it on Prime Video
