No. 2 seeds in the Eastern and Western conferences can sew up their first-round series on Tuesday while an East contender aims to create distance.

That’s the backdrop for Day 11 of the NBA playoffs. Now here are some Best Bets.

Odds are via FanDuel.

PHILADELPHIA 76ers at BOSTON CELTICS, 7 p.m.

Boston boasts a pair of 32-point routs in a series that it can clinch with a home victory — one with Philadelphia big man Joel Embiid in the lineup, and one without.

While Embiid contributed 26 points in 34 minutes Sunday in his return from an early-April appendectomy, it hardly seemed to matter as the Celtics rolled to a 128-96 win in Game 4.

“The mindset didn’t change for us,” Boston guard Payton Pritchard said. “And honestly, as far as scouting goes, we just changed maybe a small adjustment right before the game, but we didn’t talk about it at all.”

What the Celtics did was excel from long range. Pritchard contributed six of the team’s franchise record 24 3-pointers while Jayson Tatum swished five.

Expect Boston to wrap things up in Embiid’s season finale. The embattled Sixers star makes more offensive waves but not enough to keep the versatile Celtics from advancing.

ATLANTA HAWKS at NEW YORK KNICKS, 8 p.m.

Karl-Anthony Towns registered his first career playoff triple-double in Saturday’s Game 4 to spark the Knicks. His 20 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds helped New York even the series at two games each with a 114-98 road victory.

Towns’ continued success has been stabilizing for a team that has slumped in spurts but has looked for the past five quarters like the preseason juggernaut it was forecast to be.

While coach Mike Brown sounded almost aloof about moving Towns to the high post against the Hawks more frequently on Sunday, here’s thinking the Knicks build on that strategy to regain the series lead.

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS at SAN ANTONIO SPURS, 9:30 p.m.

A clean injury report? The Spurs certainly will take it, even though they also realize a few key contributors still have bumps and bruises.

Notwithstanding his cryptic remarks about how his return from a concussion was handled, Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama is among the San Antonio players standing tall.

Taken with 28 points from De’Aaron Fox, Wemby’s 27 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks added up as the Spurs gained control of the series on Sunday. San Antonio overcame a 19-point deficit in the first half to roll by 21.

“There’s nobody who cares about their stat line,” Wembanyama said. “So it’s our greatest strength.”

NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, via FanDuel, is a chance to project which players found the perfect landing spot to make an immediate impact in the league.

David Bailey (+500), EDGE – New York Jets

Many expect David Bailey to contribute right away after the Jets invested their No. 2 overall pick in the EDGE prospect’s steady production and projectable traits instead of searching for more upside with less polished prospects. Bailey posted 14.5 sacks last season with Texas Tech. If Aaron Glenn’s defense starts playing at an above-average level, Bailey could earn a lot of attention for helping turn things around.

Rueben Bain Jr. (+500), EDGE – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Rueben Bain Jr. showed off his ability to move the line of scrimmage and take over football games during Miami’s run to the CFB Championship. The defensive lineman is joining a Buccaneers team that’s struggled to find consistency in closing out games, and they’re watching their NFC South conference rivals stock up on offensive firepower. Bain will start right away for a Todd Bowles defense that can create unique passrushing looks around DT Vita Vea.

Arvell Reese (+750) will start immediately alongside friendly company in New York Giants linebackers Brian Burns, Tremaine Edmunds, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. If offenses key on all of these other stars, Reese could produce eye-popping stats.

Mansoor Delane (+850) will be tested early and often as the primary CB after the Kansas City Chiefs traded away both of last year’s starters. The Chiefs traded up to secure the draft’s top CB, and the former Virginia Tech and LSU standout will be playing in a big TV market that will create buzz if he starts making plays. 

Sonny Styles (+900) will get the chance to play the Bobby Wagner role in the middle of Dan Quinn’s Washington Commanders defense. The converted safety led the Buckeyes in tackles last season, and he’ll benefit from playing alongside disruptive linebacker Frankie Luvu.

Caleb Downs (+900) will be a focal point of Dallas Cowboys’ new Defensive Coordinator Christian Parker’s 3-4 scheme. Parker brings familiarity with the division as former passing game coordinator and DBs coach for the Eagles, and he could put Downs in position to clean up a lot of broken plays behind a revamped defensive front

	पश्चिम बंगाल में मतदान से पहले कानून-व्यवस्था को लेकर एक नया सियासी विवाद खड़ा हो गया है। उत्तर प्रदेश कैडर के आईपीएस अधिकारी अजय पाल शर्मा की गतिविधियों पर तृणमूल कांग्रेस ने कड़ी आपत्ति जताई है और उन पर अपनी सीमा से आगे बढ़कर पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को डराने-धमकाने का आरोप लगाया है। दरअसल, चुनाव आयोग द्वारा नियुक्त पुलिस ऑब्जर्वर अजय पाल शर्मा ने चेतावनी दी थी कि यदि कोई भी बुधवार को होने वाले मतदान में गड़बड़ी करने की कोशिश करेगा तो उसके साथ 'उचित कार्रवाई'  की जाएगी। उनके इस बयान के बाद राजनीतिक माहौल गर्मा गया।

	 इस पूरे घटनाक्रम के बीच टीएमसी नेताओं ने तीखी प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए कहा, “अगर वो ‘सिंघम’ हैं, तो हम भी ‘पुष्पा’ हैं,” और इसे राजनीतिक दबाव बनाने की कोशिश बताया।

	 

	फिलहाल, इस मुद्दे ने चुनावी माहौल को और गरमा दिया है और प्रशासन तथा राजनीतिक दलों के बीच टकराव की स्थिति पैदा कर दी है। 2011 बैच के आईपीएस अधिकारी शर्मा, जो अपराधियों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई के चलते ‘सिंघम’ के नाम से जाने जाते हैं, पिछले दो दिनों से दक्षिण 24 परगना जिले की फाल्टा विधानसभा क्षेत्र में लगातार तलाशी अभियान चला रहे थे। यह इलाका अभिषेक बनर्जी के प्रभाव वाले डायमंड हार्बर लोकसभा क्षेत्र के अंतर्गत आता है।  बताया जा रहा है कि उनके साथ सशस्त्र केंद्रीय अर्धसैनिक बलों के 100 से अधिक जवान और एक बख्तरबंद वाहन भी मौजूद था। उनके पास कथित 'उपद्रवियों' की एक सूची भी थी, जिनकी निगरानी की जा रही थी।
