NBA best bets for Oct. 27: Odds, expert picks for Knicks vs. Pistons, Lakers vs. Trail Blazers and more

The defending champion Knicks are still searching for their first win of the season, and they’ll get a tough test Tuesday night when the unbeaten Pistons roll into Madison Square Garden. New York has opened its title defense 0-3, while Detroit is 3-0 and sitting atop the Eastern Conference. The Pistons will be without starting center Jalen Duren, though, and the Knicks are still laying around 4 points at home as oddsmakers bet on the banner over the slow start. The nightcap of NBC’s coast-to-coast doubleheader sends the Trail Blazers to Crypto.com Arena to face the Lakers in a matchup of undefeated West teams.

HARTFORD — More Connecticut high schoolers are earning college credits, and more are finishing high school in four years, according to new state data released Tuesday by the state Department of Education. Education officials announced the 2025-26 results from the Next Generation Accountability System, which is the state's way of measuring school and district performance across multiple areas — showing where Connecticut students have made the most progress, and where they are behind. "These results demonstrate that higher levels of achievement (are) indeed possible and occurring, and we're working to accelerate student outcomes statewide. Our goal, and frankly expectation, is not to meet our pre-pandemic levels of achievement, but to exceed them," said Connecticut Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker during a press conference on Tuesday.

‘The Cure’ And The Culture: Why Dr. Sebi’s Story Still Resonates In Hip-Hop

For artists such as Nipsey Hussle and Kendrick Lamar, Sebi’s name represented something beyond herbal remedies and dietary practices. His story became intertwined with Hip-Hop’s longstanding tradition of questioning authority, challenging established institutions and encouraging Black communities to take greater ownership of their knowledge, health and economic futures.

Kendrick Lamar also brought Sebi’s name into the musical conversation on “Worldwide Steppers,” while…
