A rundown of games and events to watch for locally and nationally from the world of sports (all times Pacific):
Tuesday
NBA basketball, Milwaukee at Portland, 7 p.m. (NBC Sports Northwest): Establishing themselves as one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks and superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo — perhaps better known as the “Greek Freak” — make their lone visit of the regular season to the Moda Center to face the Trail Blazers.
Tuesday
Prep boys soccer, OSAA state semifinals, David Douglas at Summit, time TBD; Madras at Woodburn, 6 p.m.: No. 2 Summit takes the highest remaining seed in the Class 6A playoffs into its match against the No. 3 Scots from Portland. In 4A, the No. 7 White Buffaloes travel to No. 3 Woodburn, which won the state title at Class 5A each of the past two years.
Saturday
College football, Oregon at Utah, 2:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Network); Oregon State at Stanford, 6 p.m. (Pac-12 Network): The Ducks bounced back from an embarrassing loss to Arizona by beating UCLA and now look to notch a road win over the Utes. The Beavers head to The Farm in search of their second conference victory of the season.
Saturday
Running, Bend Ale Run: Held in conjunction with the Bend Ale Festival, this event features a half marathon starting at 10 a.m. and includes a 10K starting at 10:15, both on NW Crossing Road just north of Summit High School. Runners will get food, cold beer and a warm tent at the finish. For more information, go to www.bendalerun.com/bend-ale-run.
Sunday
NFL football, Seattle at Los Angeles Rams, 1:25 p.m. (CBS): The Rams were the last of the NFL’s unbeaten teams until falling Sunday at New Orleans. The Seahawks are the only team in position to challenge L.A. in the NFC West, but they are still three games behind the Rams after losing at home Sunday to the Chargers.
