Lynx play at Golden State on Sunday, and Mercury visit Los Angeles. ___MONACO (AP) — Here’s a guide that tells you what you need to know about Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. It’s the eighth round of the 2025

— In the U.S., on ESPN.— Sunday: Monaco Grand Prix, 78 laps of the 3.34-kilometer (2.07-mile) Monaco circuit. Starts at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET / 1300 GMT).Tight, twisty and not really suited to modern F1 cars, Monaco is a throwback to the series origins in the 1950s. With old-school glamor and a harbor filled with luxury yachts, Monaco is known as “the jewel in the crown” of F1, but it’s by far the slowest circuit of the year. Overtaking is so difficult that Saturday’s qualifying session is arguably more important than the race. With barriers close to the track, even the smallest mistake can mean a crash.

Max Verstappen gave his title defense a big boost by beating McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to win the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Verstappen overtook Piastri around the outside at the start in a daring move and controlled the rest of the race with strong pace and smart strategy. Norris overtook Piastri for second place late in the race to cut his teammate’s standings lead.Lando Norris of McLaren produced a track-record lap time with his last attempt to beat local hero Charles Leclerc to pole position. Norris was relieved to take pole for the first time since the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in March and had been increasingly frustrated by a tendency to make mistakes when it mattered most in qualifying. Standings leader Oscar Piastri qualified third and Max Verstappen starts fourth after moving up a spot because of a three-place penalty for Lewis Hamilton. Mercedes is set for a tough day with George Russell 14th and Kimi Antonelli 15th on the grid.

15 — McLaren is by far the most successful team ever in Monaco with 15 wins. But the last of those was 17 years ago, when a young Lewis Hamilton took the victory.

2 — A rule change means drivers will need to make at least two pit stops for tires this year.The Commanders keep finding ways to win late with five straight victories coming down to the final play. The victory in Tampa Bay was the franchise’s first playoff win since 2006. Daniels connected often with Terry McLaurin and Dyami Brown, but Washington will need Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler to run more effectively to have a chance against Detroit. A defense that held Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers to their worst game in eight weeks has to step up against the most dynamic offense in the NFL.

The Lions could get running back David Montgomery back to join Jahmyr Gibbs in an elite backfield. That should open things up even more for Jared Goff throwing to All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and other playmakers.Since the NFL expanded to 14 playoff teams with only two getting a bye, No. 1 seeds are 3-5 against the spread in the divisional round.

Teams that won as an underdog in the wild-card round are 2-20 straight up and 10-12 ATS in the divisional round.Line: Eagles minus 6
