Hangtown Motocross betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Eli Tomac closes gap on Jett Lawrence
Jett Lawrence showed minimal movement between Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2025 Pro Motocross season, but intense competition with Eli Tomac last week narrowed the gap between the two favored riders. Jett opened with raw odds of -294 for the season opener at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Frankly, he might have been an even more expensive proposition if not for the fact that he was returning from an ACL injury suffered early in the Monster Energy Supercross season. Jett led every lap of both motos, but failed to dominate Moto 2 under pressure from Tomac. Jett's odds for the Hangtown Classic in Rancho Cordova, California, remain in the minus range, but are slightly more attractive at -283. MX 2024 Rd 01 Pala Jett Lawrence Chase Motocross betting odds set expectations for Pro Motocross championship Advertisement Despite returning from injury with minimal recovery time, Jett Lawrence is an overwhelming favorite to win the 2025 Pro MX Championship Dan Beaver , Dan Beaver , Tomac (+247) had more time to prepare for the Motocross season opener than Jett. His broken fibula was repaired, and training was initiated in time for him to compete in a couple of Supercross rounds, but he decided to focus on the outdoors. He posted a modest finish of fourth in Moto 1 at Fox before finding the right lines in the second race. Tomac did not let Jett out of his sight until the closing laps and even managed to get a wheel alongside the eventual winner. Historically, Hangtown is one of Tomac's best tracks and incidentally, the only MX course on which Jett has been beaten. The result of these factors is that a differential of 743 points between Jett and Tomac in Pala has shrunk to 530 for Hangtown. Hunter Lawrence (+558) is the only other rider under 10/1 in raw opening odds. Notably, all three riders on the podium last week in Pala were returning from injury, so there is still some residual concern about their performance. The question of whether Hunter found his limit in Round 1 remains to be answered. MX 2024 Rd 02 Hangtown Jett Lawrence Hunter Hangtown Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch Advertisement Last week's contest between Jett Lawrence and Eli Tomac suggests the Hangtown Classic will be a competitive round. Dan Beaver , Dan Beaver , A huge gap appears between the third- and fourth-ranked riders in Round 2. Aaron Plessinger (+4032) is slightly over 40/1 and should garner some attention after sweeping the top five in Pala's pair of motos. He topped out with a podium in the second race, but was never a factor for the win. Bet modestly, if at all, for the overall victory. His podium odds are -139, so there isn't much juice to be squeezed. Justin Cooper's (+4731) runner-up finish in Moto 2 contributes to his fifth-place ranking in Hangtown. His eighth-place finish in Moto2 makes him a formidable proposition, however. His podium odds are minimally in the plus range at +151. Jorge Prado (+7199) is in a different category than the top five this week. With such a high return on investment of 71/1, bold bettors might wish to place a modest wager on an overall win, but his long odds for the victory drag his podium odds to +579, which is a much safer bet.

Report: Dallas Mavericks could pursue a trade for Jrue Holiday this offseason
Report: Dallas Mavericks could pursue a trade for Jrue Holiday this offseason There are early reports that the Boston Celtics could be busy in the offseason in making several roster changes, and one of the hottest rumors is a trade involving point guard Jrue Holiday. After one recent report suggested that the Los Angeles Clippers could be potential suitors for Holiday, another team has entered the rumor mill mix, the Dallas Mavericks. Earlier this week, Chris Forsberg and Kayla Burton of NBC Sports Boston discussed the rumor of Holiday being traded to Dallas, and how a return could include big man Daniel Gafford. Holiday is likely going to be the most speculated player on the roster, as the Celtics will work to put together a roster that will be without Jayson Tatum for an extended period of time. In the speculated deal, the discussion revolves around the Celtics receiving Gafford, who has been a formidable force in the paint for the Mavericks over the past two seasons. During his time with Dallas, Gafford has averaged career highs in points and rebounds, including 12.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in the 2024-25 season. After the Mavericks made a blockbuster trade to acquire superstar Anthony Davis, a big man like Gafford could be more expendable to move, especially in search for a point guard after they lost Kyrie Irving to a torn ACL in March. Watch the video above to hear the full discussion about a potential trade between the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics, two franchises who will be looking to retool their roster after losing a superstar late this past season. Trading Holiday would open up more opportunities for Derrick White and Payton Pritchard to run the point guard position if Boston were to move the veteran guard.

DeMarvion Overshown is making progress in his rehab but knows it's "a process"
Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is trying to come back from the ACL, MCL and PCL he tore in his right knee in Week 14. Despite his recent declaration that he wants to compete for comeback player of the year, Overshown's 2025 season is in jeopardy. 'I know it's a process; it's something we're not rushing just because I look good,' Overshown said, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. 'There's no need to rush the process. I'm going to come back when I'm 100 percent, when I'm ready, when I know I can tough the field and not have to look down and worry about my knee.' Overshown knows what he's in for, having torn the ACL in his left knee in the preseason before his rookie season in 2023. He is optimistic about where he is. He began light jogging this week, and he said he's shuffling and backpedaling. 'It's going real good,' Overshown said. 'I think it really couldn't be any better. If it was better, I'd probably be out there playing right now. Where I'm at in my rehab, in my process, it's where I'm supposed to be plus some.'
