The Capitals would host a potential Game Six on Sunday, if necessary.
>>Suns Hold Private Workout With Deandre Ayton
(Phoenix, AZ) — The Suns held a private workout with potential first-overall pick Deandre Ayton out of the University of Arizona. He says he hopes to be the top pick and play alongside Devin Booker, forming a “Shaq and Kobe 2.0.” Ayton says he has no plans to work out for another team and is confident he’ll be taken number-one, even though the Suns haven’t confirmed that with him.
>>Players Vote Rockets’ Harden MVP

The National Basketball Players Association hands out its own end of the season awards separate from the NBA. Harden averaged 30.4 points, 8.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds for Houston, which finished the regular season with the NBA’s best record and made it to the West finals.
>>Ohtani Exits With Blister For Angels
