12-27-22 | Avalanche v. Coyotes OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
A narrow victory is still a victory. As long as the result is two points, the Colorado Avalanche would happily accept another tight contest when they visit the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday in Tempe, Arizona. Colorado is on a four-game winning streak, with its last three wins coming in either overtime or a shootout. The Avalanche are 6-1-0 in their last seven games, collecting five one-goal wins and outscoring opponents by a modest 17-12 margin. "We've been fighting, grinding out wins, low-scoring games," forward Evan Rodrigues said. "Even when we're down, guys believe we can come back. We've just got to stick with it." Rodrigues recorded the assist on Samuel Girard's game-winning goal in the Avalanche's last game, a 3-2 overtime win over the Nashville Predators on Friday. The dynamic offense was a cornerstone of Colorado's run to the Stanley Cup last summer. This season, however, long-term injuries to Nathan McKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog have sapped the Avalanche of some of their scoring punch. |

12-27-22 | South Carolina State v. Texas Tech UNDER 147.5 | Top | 71-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
First under Chris Beard and now under second-year coach Mark Adams, Texas Tech has been a team that wins with stifling defense and just enough offense. However, the Red Raiders have shown at times this season that they might have more firepower to be able to outscore teams when required. That offense could be on display again Tuesday night in Lubbock, Texas, when the Red Raiders return from their Christmas break with a home game against struggling South Carolina State. Texas Tech (9-2) got 22 points apiece from De'Vion Harmon and Kevin Obanor in a 111-67 rout of Houston Christian on Wednesday, marking the first time since 1996 that the Red Raiders notched consecutive 100-point games. They beat Jackson State 102-52 on Dec. 17. |

12-27-22 | Lakers v. Magic UNDER 235.5 | Top | 129-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Two teams trending in opposite directions will meet when the Orlando Magic host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. While Orlando has won eight of its last nine, Los Angeles has lost four in a row. The Lakers began a five-game trip with a 124-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. After taking a nine-point lead into halftime, Los Angeles was outscored 51-21 during a disastrous third quarter. "We have to know that it's a 48-minute game; it's not a 24-minute game," Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham said. "We kind of took our foot off the pedal defensively. To give up a 51-point third quarter is just unacceptable. It's completely unacceptable. That's not who we are. That's not who we're going to be." Lakers star LeBron James scored 38 points in the loss. His seven-game streak of at least 30 points is the longest active streak in the league. Los Angeles is being forced to rely on James minus center Anthony Davis, who is out indefinitely with a stress injury in his right foot. |

12-26-22 | Chargers v. Colts OVER 45.5 | Top | 20-3 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 5 m | Show |
The Indianapolis Colts haven't changed the game plan. They're still trying to run first, still relying on a stout defense and still trying to win games despite their ever-changing circumstances. Indy has played most of this season without three-time All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard, will be missing 2021 NFL rushing champ, Jonathan Taylor, for the final three games because of an ankle injury, and heads into Monday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers with its third starting quarterback, Nick Foles. Interim coach Jeff Saturday made the move for one simple reason. "It's no secret, we haven't converted in the red zone and ultimately, you've got to make plays in the NFL and we're not making nearly enough explosive plays and not making plays in the red zone," he said when announcing Matt Ryan was getting benched again. "I feel like Nick will give us a better chance to go win these last three games." It's an odd move. Indy (4-9-1) was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention with Jacksonville's win over the New York Jets on Thursday, before taking the field for its third and final prime-time game of the season. Plus, Saturday went with the 33-year-old Foles over 24-year-old Sam Ehlinger, who went 0-2 as the starter earlier this year. |

12-25-22 | Iona v. Pepperdine UNDER 152 | 76-66 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
In their final game in Hawaii, the Gaels will seek to repeat their performance against Seattle, which included an effective offensive strategy and a shutdown defensive effort. They rank 11th in the nation for turnovers per game and 52nd for points scored per game. In terms of points allowed, they are rated 68th defensively. |

12-24-22 | Middle Tennessee State v. San Diego State UNDER 47.5 | 25-23 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Last year, it was the Bahamas. This year, it's Hawaii. No Group of 5 program has fared better at scoring tropical bowl destinations the last two seasons than Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders will try to turn their nine-hour plane trip to Honolulu into a win in the Hawaii Bowl against San Diego State on Saturday. "Two melatonins before I get on the plane to get as much sleep as I can," said safety Teldrick Ross of the trip across four time zones and an ocean. "That way, if I can cut the plane ride down to only like four or five and a half hours, I'll take it." Middle Tennessee (7-5) has become a bowl regular under veteran coach Rick Stockstill. The former Florida State quarterback has taken the team to 10 bowls in his 17 seasons on the job, and his 108 wins in Murfreesboro are the third most in program history. The Blue Raiders' 2022 highlight was a 45-31 win at Miami on Sept. 24, sending the Hurricanes out of the rankings for good. Middle Tennessee quarterback Chase Cunningham threw for 408 yards that day, and he has thrown for 2,920 yards in 11 games with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The team's defensive leader is safety Tra Fluellen, who has 97 tackles and seven pass breakups. Meanwhile, the Aztecs (7-5) were two different teams this year -- one before Mississippi State transfer Jalen Mayden took over at quarterback and another after he got the job from Virginia Tech transfer Braxton Burmeister. |

12-24-22 | Commanders v. 49ers UNDER 37.5 | Top | 20-37 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
The stakes for the San Francisco 49ers down the stretch of the season aren't particularly high after they clinched the NFC West last week. The Niners are most likely slotted into either the second or third seed in the NFC with a possible second-round home playoff game in the balance. The situation is very different for Washington (7-6-1) heading into Saturday's game at San Francisco (10-4) after the Commanders lost last week to the New York Giants, putting a dent into their playoff hopes. Washington is clinging to the seventh seed but could fall out of playoff position with another loss. "I think that's a big part of the mentality that we have to take is that we've got to go out and we've got to play our best," coach Ron Rivera said. "We've got to get some things corrected and fixed and ready to go. We can't struggle in some of the areas that we have lately. Those things have to be addressed and they are being addressed." The biggest issues for the Commanders are on offense after they were held to 32 points combined in back-to-back games against the Giants and struggled to finish drives in the red zone. Now they're set to face the NFL's stingiest defense. |

12-24-22 | Bengals v. Patriots OVER 41 | Top | 22-18 | Loss | -114 | 3 h 29 m | Show |
It was 2020, the NFL draft was looming, and the world was on the brink of going into hibernation because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joe Burrow was in Miami walking out of a steakhouse with then-Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia following a pre-draft dinner. He glanced up and saw someone else he recognized: Patriots coach Bill Belichick. "I just went up and introduced myself," Burrow recalled this week. Was there any nervousness about meeting one of the NFL's most revered coaches? "I didn't really think about it," Burrow said. "I figured he knew who I was. I just went up and introduced myself. Nothing crazy." Two years later, the pair will meet under many different circumstances. Burrow and the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals have a chance to close in on their second straight AFC North title when they visit a Patriots team that seems far removed from its most recent Super Bowl win, which came after the 2018 season. Cincinnati (10-4) enters Saturday's game on a six-game win streak and holds a one-game division lead over Baltimore. New England (7-7) has lost three of its last four games and entered the week one game outside the final AFC playoff spot. |
|||||||
12-24-22 | Lions v. Panthers OVER 43.5 | 23-37 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Jared Goff has the surging Detroit Lions in contention for a wild card spot. Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers still have plenty to play for as well, despite a 5-9 record. The teams clash in Charlotte on Saturday in a game that will impact NFC playoff scenarios. The Lions (7-7) have won six of their last seven games and are a half-game behind Washington in the race for the final wild-card spot. Carolina is coming off a home loss to Pittsburgh, but still controls its playoff destiny. If the Panthers win out, they'll win the NFC South title and host a playoff game in January with a losing record. The Lions are hoping Goff's playoff experience - he helped the Los Angeles Rams reach the Super Bowl four years ago - will help ready some of his younger teammates for a run at the postseason. "I think as the quarterback of the team and a leader on this team that is part of my job, but not because I have experience in it, just because that's what I'm supposed to do," Goff said. Meanwhile, Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks has informed his players and staff he doesn't want to hear a word about the playoffs, saying all their focus should be on Detroit following his team's lackluster performance against the Steelers. |
|||||||
12-24-22 | Bills v. Bears UNDER 40.5 | Top | 35-13 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
The Buffalo Bills still have a few important goals to achieve before they turn their attention toward the biggest prize of all. They can clinch their third straight AFC East title this week, and a No. 1 seed playoff seed is in sight. For all the prizes out there, coach Sean McDermott insisted the focus is simply on beating the struggling Bears when his team visits frigid Chicago on Saturday. "We're facing a Chicago Bears team that is playing really good football right now and they play extremely hard," he said. "I think Coach (Matt) Eberflus has done a great job of changing that culture, perhaps, at least from the outside looking in, in terms of how they're playing." The Bills (11-3) clinched their fourth straight playoff berth with last week's win over Miami and would lock up the division with a win or tie against Chicago (3-11). A loss or tie by the Dolphins against Green Bay would also do it. Buffalo has the inside track toward the top seed in the AFC - and the first-round bye and home-field advantage through the conference championship game that comes with it. |

12-23-22 | Blues v. Golden Knights UNDER 6 | 4-5 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
After earning their first regulation home win in almost a month Wednesday, the Vegas Golden Knights will try to make it two in a row on Friday night against the St. Louis Blues in Las Vegas. The 5-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes was only the second in eight home games for the Western Conference-leading Golden Knights, who improved to just 9-9-0 at T-Mobile Arena this season. Mark Stone led the way with both a power-play goal and a short-handed goal during a four-goal third period. It marked the first time in Vegas history that a player scored both a power-play and a short-handed goal in the same game. It also marked the first time since their last regulation home victory, 4-1 over Ottawa on Nov. 23, that the Golden Knights scored more than two goals in a home game. |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Pistons v. Hawks UNDER 233 | 105-130 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
The visiting Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks will try to bounce back from disappointing losses when they meet on Friday for the third time this season. The Pistons were hammered 113-93 by the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday and have lost four straight games. Also Wednesday, the Hawks fell 110-108 to the Chicago Bulls on a last-second shot that ended their modest two-game winning streak. Atlanta won the first two games of the season between the teams in Detroit, 118-113 on Oct. 26 and 136-112 on Oct. 28, one of seven games the Pistons have lost by at least 20 points this season. The Hawks have won the past three contests against Detroit that have been played in Atlanta. Atlanta continues to have trouble closing games. |

12-23-22 | Wake Forest v. Missouri UNDER 59 | Top | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Sam Hartman takes the field for the final time as Wake Forest quarterback when the Demon Deacons face Missouri in the Dec. 23 Gasparilla Bowl at Tampa, Fla. The record-setting signal-caller has decided to play in the bowl game but made it clear last month that he isn't returning to Wake. "No shot," Hartman said. Hartman, 23, is weighing whether to enter the NFL draft or transfer to another school for the sixth season. Schools needing a quarterback are preparing possible name, image, and likeness deals. "Whatever decision Sam makes we support him," Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson told reporters. "Again, I think right now his intention is to go to the NFL. When the bowl game is over if there's some incredible offer for him to go to another school and get life-changing money, how can we fault him for that? So it's a good problem to have, and he's going to have many good options." Hartman has passed for 3,421 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions this season. He enters his final contest for Wake Forest (7-5) with a record easily in reach. Hartman is tied for the ACC career passing touchdowns record at 107 with former Clemson star Tajh Boyd (2010-13). |

12-23-22 | Houston v. UL-Lafayette OVER 56.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Houston possesses one of the most potent offenses and passing games in the nation, scoring 37.2 points per game and passing for 321.1 yards per game. Quarterback Clayton Tune has thrown for 3,845 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He is one of the players the Cougars are trying to replace next season, likely through the portal. His top target is Nathaniel Dell, who leads the team with 103 catches for 1,354 yards and 15 touchdowns. Louisiana has already been hit hard by key departures to the NFL draft, losing defensive end Andre Jones, which makes its defensive task even more difficult in this game. The Ragin' Cajuns will have to rely on their less experienced defenders to try and slow Houston's aerial assault. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Wild v. Sharks UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Wild will take the Western Conference's longest winning streak into their Thursday night road game against the San Jose Sharks. Minnesota, behind a goal and two assists by Matt Boldy and 21 saves by Marc-Andre Fleury, won its season-best sixth game in a row on Wednesday, beating the host Anaheim Ducks 4-1. The Wild now hope to improve to 5-0-0 in the second game of back-to-back sets this season. The Wild have won 11 of their past 13 games to close within four points of the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars. A big reason for that has been an improved defense that has allowed just six goals over the six-game winning streak. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Wizards v. Jazz OVER 229.5 | 112-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
On Wednesday night, the University of Utah men's basketball team took advantage of a Utah Jazz rest day and played No. 20 TCU on the NBA court just down the street from campus. A couple of players near and dear to the hearts of the Runnin' Utes program will be in the same arena Thursday night when the Washington Wizards visit the Jazz in Salt Lake City. Former Utah standout Kyle Kuzma, having arguably his best NBA season yet, continues to lead the Wizards. Kuzma was an instrumental part of Washington's 121-112 win over the Jazz in D.C. last month, totaling 23 points with eight rebounds and six assists. In his latest outing Tuesday night, the 2017 All-Pac-12 first-teamer scored 29 points with six rebounds and six assists to lift Washington to a 113-110 win at Phoenix. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak for the Wizards, who were in the midst of winning six of seven games when they faced Utah on Nov. 12. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Jaguars v. Jets UNDER 36.5 | 19-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Duane Brown saw no need to downplay what was ahead for the New York Jets. Their playoff hopes have been seriously damaged by a three-game losing streak. And they've got a short week to get themselves back in the AFC postseason hunt. Next up for the Jets (7-7) is a home game Thursday night against Trevor Lawrence and the suddenly surging Jacksonville Jaguars (6-8). "We've got to win this week," said Brown, New York's left tackle. "That's the bottom line, that's all we can think about. We can't think about playoffs, next week, or other scenarios outside our team, who loses, who wins, who can help us. We have to think about Jacksonville on Thursday night and winning this ballgame. "This is a must-win in our eyes. That's how we look at it." Some might argue that's the case for the Jets from here on out. Otherwise, the NFL's longest postseason drought could stretch to 12 seasons. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Capitals v. Senators UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
Washington forward Alex Ovechkin continues his pursuit of history when the Capitals visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. Ovechkin, who has not scored a goal in his past three games, remains one behind Gordie Howe (801 goals) on the NHL's all-time list. Wayne Gretzky (894) remains in first. Despite Ovechkin's brief dry spell, the Capitals are rolling, having won seven of their past eight games after a 4-3 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings on Monday. Playing without a group of injured forwards that includes Nicklas Backstrom, Tom Wilson and T.J. Oshie among others, Washington continues to get secondary scoring. Fourth-line center Nic Dowd had two goals and an assist Monday after missing the previous game with a lower-body injury, defenseman Erik Gustafsson scored his fourth goal in two games and defenseman Dmitry Orlov netted the overtime winner. |

12-21-22 | South Alabama v. Western Kentucky UNDER 58 | Top | 23-44 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
The Jaguars are led by quarterback Carter Bradley (2,976 passing yards, 25 touchdowns) and running back La'Damian Webb (1,014 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns). Western Kentucky (8-5) will play in its ninth bowl game in 11 years. The Hilltoppers won three of their final four games, including a 32-31 overtime win over Florida Atlantic in their regular-season finale. After FAU scored first, Western Kentucky quarterback Austin Reed ran in a 1-yard touchdown and threw the game-winning two-point conversion to Joshua Simon. Reed, who transferred from Division II West Florida, was named Conference USA's Newcomer of the Year after throwing for 4,249 yards and 36 touchdowns, ranking second and fourth in FBS, respectively. |

12-21-22 | Bulls v. Hawks UNDER 236 | Top | 110-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
The Bulls bounced back on Tuesday after taking a 150-126 beating from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in Minneapolis. It was the fourth-most points Chicago has given up in regulation and the most since the Bulls allowed 152 against the Detroit Pistons on Nov. 3, 1982. "It's always great to win, but it's more about how you play," Chicago coach Billy Donovan said after the victory at Miami. "How you play as a group and how you play as a team. It was great to see their hard work rewarded because I felt they put a lot of effort into the game." Nikola Vucevic had 29 points and 12 rebounds for his 14th double-double, DeMar DeRozan had 24 points and Zach LaVine scored 21 against the Heat. "It was good to get a win, get that positive feeling a little bit, especially after that very tough, terrible loss," Vucevic said. "It was needed. Hopefully, we can learn from this." Chicago's Derrick Jones Jr. left the Tuesday game in the third quarter due to a left ankle sprain and did not return. Atlanta's Clint Capela (right calf strain) will miss his third consecutive game on Wednesday. |

12-20-22 | Fresno State v. CS Bakersfield OVER 116.5 | Top | 56-48 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show |

12-20-22 | Wizards v. Suns UNDER 229 | 113-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns will look for a fourth consecutive win on Tuesday when they complete a pair of back-to-back games as the sputtering Washington Wizards visit. Phoenix blasted the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 130-104 on Monday behind a season-high 28 points from Chris Paul. The Suns posted a 12th straight head-to-head victory over the Lakers, who played without LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. Deandre Ayton gave Phoenix 21 points and 11 rebounds, his third double-double with at least 21 points in his past four games. Monday marked Ayton's return to the lineup from an ankle injury that sidelined him the previous two contests. "My ankle is good," Ayton said following the win. "I tried my best to stay on top of (rehabilitation)." Ayton's play on the interior worked in conjunction with Phoenix's red-hot shooting performance from the outside. The Suns knocked down 20 of 39 3-point attempts in the win despite playing without leading scorer Devin Booker. Booker, who scored 58 points on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans, has missed three of the team's past five games due to a groin injury. His status for the Tuesday contest was uncertain. Phoenix also lost Josh Okogie in the second half on Monday due to right hip soreness. |

12-20-22 | Virginia v. Miami-FL OVER 129.5 | 64-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
No. 22 Miami enters Tuesday's Atlantic Coast Conference contest against No. 6 Virginia with a score to settle. The Hurricanes have lost six straight times to the Cavaliers. But if there's a good time for Miami to catch Virginia, this is it. While the Hurricanes (11-1, 2-0 ACC) have won seven straight, the visiting Cavaliers (8-1, 1-0) are coming off their lone loss, 69-61 to No. 5 Houston. In addition, while Miami's best player, Isaiah Wong, is in perhaps the finest form of his career, Virginia's top dog, Reece Beekman, is struggling with a sore hamstring. Case in point: On Saturday, Wong filled the stat sheet with 22 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, three steals and three blocks in a 91-76 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.). Later in the afternoon, Beekman made one of five shots and scored four points in the loss to Houston. Beekman's injury concerns began when he rolled an ankle on his way to scoring 18 points in a 70-68 win at Michigan. Four days later, Beekman made 1 of 7 shots as Virginia got past Florida State, 62-57, in its ACC opener. |

12-20-22 | Eastern Michigan v. San Jose State OVER 53 | Top | 41-27 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
Eastern Michigan and San Jose State might not have extensive bowl histories in their respective programs, but believe it or not, there is bowl history with one another. When the teams collide on Dec. 20 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, it will be the second meeting in a bowl game between the Eagles and Spartans. The teams also met in the 1987 California Bowl, where Eastern Michigan earned what still is its only bowl win in school history, a 30-27 triumph. Now, 35 years later, the teams will hook up in the postseason once again. Eastern Michigan enters with an 8-4 record and will be making its seventh appearance all-time in a bowl game. It is also the fourth time in the last five seasons the Eagles will be in a bowl game. The Eagles have lost all four of those games, but three of them were by a combined 10 points. |

12-19-22 | Magic v. Hawks UNDER 230.5 | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Hawks will be looking for revenge when they begin a three-game homestand on Monday against the Orlando Magic, who have won six in a row. In their last meeting on Dec. 14 in Orlando, the Magic scored a franchise-record 50 points in the first quarter against the Hawks. It was the most points allowed by Atlanta in a quarter this season and gave the Magic the momentum needed to cruise to a 135-124 win. A franchise-record eight Orlando players scored in double figures in that victory. That was Orlando's first win against Atlanta this season. The Hawks had won the first two games, by 10 and 17 points. This will be the final game of the season series. The Magic began their four-game road trip with two wins over the Boston Celtics, including a 95-92 victory on Sunday. Paolo Banchero scored 31 in helping the Magic extend its winning streak to six, their longest since March 2019. |

12-18-22 | Knicks v. Pacers OVER 227 | 109-106 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
The Pacers endured that rollercoaster Friday against the Cavaliers, who are in the thick of the race for the top overall seed in the Eastern Conference. Indiana led for more than 27 straight minutes between the second and fourth quarters and held its biggest lead at 103-90 with nine minutes left before Donovan Mitchell sparked Cleveland's comeback by scoring 16 points down the stretch, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:41 remaining. The loss was the seventh in the last 10 games for the Pacers, whose last four defeats have been by six points or fewer against teams that are currently occupying a playoff or play-in spot. Indiana lost to the Brooklyn Nets 136-133 on Dec. 10 before falling to the Miami Heat 87-82 on Monday. The loss Friday dropped the Pacers (15-15) into a three-way tie with the Heat and Atlanta Hawks for seventh in the East, 1 1/2 games behind the Knicks, who are in the final guaranteed playoff spot. |

12-18-22 | Buffalo v. West Virginia OVER 151.5 | 78-96 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
The West Virginia Mountaineers finished 16-17 last season, giving them just their third losing season since Bob Huggins took over the program in 2007. This season the Mountaineers have looked strong rated 19th according to KenPom. They are 25th in adjusted offensive efficiency and 30th on the defensive end while facing the 54th-rated schedule. The two West Virginia losses this season came against Purdue (No. 6 KenPom) and Xavier 84-74 (No. 31 KenPom). The Mountaineers are on a two-game winning streak after beating Navy 85-64 and UAB last 81-70. |

12-17-22 | Pelicans v. Suns UNDER 227.5 | 114-118 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The New Orleans Pelicans had won seven consecutive games after taking two home games against the Phoenix Suns in three days last week. They have lost both of their games since. The Suns went to Houston from New Orleans and lost their fifth consecutive game Tuesday night. But they ended that streak with a 111-95 victory against the Clippers on Thursday night in Los Angeles. Phoenix and New Orleans will play each other for the third time in nine days and the final time this season when they meet Saturday night in Phoenix. "I'm happy we finally got a win out of this road trip, and we're going to try to keep this train moving," Suns guard Chris Paul said at the end of the 1-3 trip. Devin Booker, who missed two games because of hamstring tightness, returned against the Clippers and scored 14 points. |

Houston shot 9-for-33 (27.3 percent) from three on Thursday in its 111-108 loss to the Heat. The Rockets are shooting 33.7 percent from deep this season, which would be the team's lowest three-point percentage since 2005-06 (33.2%).

12-17-22 | Jazz v. Bucks UNDER 230.5 | 97-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
On a night when the Utah Jazz picked up a second consecutive win over the team that had the best record in the Western Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks had one of those games you would just rather forget. Milwaukee fell behind Memphis by 15 points at the end of the first quarter, trailed by 29 at halftime, was outscored 47-30 in the third quarter and ended up getting blown away 142-101 by the Grizzlies on the road. "We were just beaten soundly in every way, shape and form, and we have to own that," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. The Jazz will try to build on the momentum they gained with a pair of nice victories over the New Orleans Pelicans at home earlier this week and the Bucks will try to get back to their usual selves when the two teams meet up Saturday in Milwaukee. The Bucks should be plenty rested. Budenholzer let his reserves play most of the second half after it was clear that a win just wasn't in the cards. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who only played 26 minutes, and Bobby Portis led Milwaukee in scoring with 19 points apiece. |

12-17-22 | Grizzlies v. Thunder UNDER 234 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Dillon Brooks doesn't lead the Memphis Grizzlies in any of the traditional defensive categories. But Brooks' defensive intensity has been among the major catalysts for the seven-game winning streak the Grizzlies carry into the game against the Thunder on Saturday in Oklahoma City. "I don't get the steals or the big-time blocks, but I'm going to give fits to whoever I got that night," Brooks said. In Memphis' most recent game, a 142-101 throttling of Milwaukee on Thursday, Brooks was a major reason Bucks star Khris Middleton finished with more turnovers (four) than points (three), going just 1 of 12 from the field. Ja Morant draws plenty of headlines, but Brooks has been one of the Grizzlies' most important players. "(Brooks) is the ultimate competitor, and he wants to win," Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. "That is what it comes down to. We talk all the time about his energy, his spirit, the tone-setting he has, but he is relentless in how he approaches the game." Brooks figures to draw another tough assignment against the Thunder, when he will likely spend significant time guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who comes into Saturday's game averaging 31.2 points per game -- third-best in the NBA. |

12-17-22 | Rice v. Southern Miss UNDER 45.5 | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
For the first time since 2014, Rice qualified for a bowl game, with former conference foe Southern Miss on tap in the LendingTree Bowl on Saturday in Mobile, Ala. Rice (5-7) posted its best regular-season record under fifth-year coach Mike Bloomgren, even with a win total not normally good enough for bowl eligibility. When only 79 FBS teams reached six wins and three more bowl berths remained, the 5-7 teams with the highest academic progress rates (APR) were selected to fill out the remaining spots. The Owls had the highest APR of the group, a 994 rating of a possible 1,000. The metric measures student-athlete eligibility and retention. |

12-17-22 | Fresno State v. Washington State UNDER 53.5 | 29-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Fresno State has delivered a fantastic season, particularly with the way the past couple of months have gone. Now it's a matter of finishing in style for the Bulldogs. That opportunity comes Saturday against Washington State in the LA Bowl in Los Angeles. "From being counted out at 1-4 to having the chance to bring this program 10 wins is awesome for us," Fresno State senior defensive back Evan Williams said. Fresno State (9-4), which is the Mountain West Conference champion, has won eight games in a row. For Washington State (7-5), this will wrap up the first full season under coach Jake Dickert. "We're looking forward for the chance to send our seniors out on a winning note," Dickert said. No college team has begun with a 1-4 record and ended up with a 10-win season, something that Fresno State will try to pull off. |

12-16-22 | Islanders v. Coyotes OVER 5.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
The Arizona Coyotes are playing in a home arena that would normally be considered unfit for an NHL team. Most of the New York Islanders have an idea of what that's like. Unfortunately for the Coyotes, that's where the similarities between the teams end. The Islanders are slated to make their first trip to Mullett Arena Friday night, when New York continues a cross-country road trip by visiting the Coyotes in Tempe, Ariz. Both teams have been off since narrow defeats Tuesday night, when the visiting Coyotes lost to the San Jose Sharks 3-2 and the Islanders fell to the Boston Bruins 4-3 via shootout. The loss was the fifth in seven games (2-4-1) for the Islanders, though coming back from a two-goal first-period deficit and eventually earning the loser point allowed them to tie the New York Rangers for fourth place in the competitive Metropolitan Division and remain in a playoff spot as of Thursday morning. |

12-16-22 | Blues v. Flames UNDER 6 | 5-2 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Calgary Flames coach Darryl Sutter is known for being a taskmaster -- and often acerbic. As his team prepares to play host to the St. Louis Blues, though, Sutter is preaching from the other side of the pendulum while his team tries to snap a four-game winless slide. The Flames, who are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, have lost their last three games in extra time. However, Sutter is quick to point out his squad is 3-1-3 in its last seven outings and could just as easily be riding a winning spree driving them up the standings. "The difference is the difference maker, right?" Sutter said. "You get to the extra or late opportunities, whether it's a power play or overtime or shootouts. ... That's where your best players have to be difference makers, for sure." Certainly goal scoring has been an issue for the Flames during their recent struggles. Calgary has managed nine goals in its last four games. |

The Oregon State Beavers are coming off a tough 72-54 road loss against the Texas A&M Aggies and they were only able to score 24 points in the second half of the game. They were not able to shoot the ball well as they finished shooting 36.5 percent throughout the game, 32.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 11 free-throw shots. Freshman guard Jordan Pope led Oregon State as in 36 minutes he finished with 15 points and five assists. |

12-15-22 | Cal-Irvine v. Santa Clara OVER 146 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Three starters logged double figures for the Anteaters in their last time out. DJ Davis led the way with 17 points and Dawson Baker had 16 points to go five rebounds. Baker also went 3-4 from deep. The Anteaters have been a good deep from deep this year and they continued that by shooting 42.9% beyond the arc against South Dakota. On the season UC Irvine is scoring 73.6 points per game and shooting 43.5% from the floor. They take about 20 3-pointers per game and they are top 10 in 3-point percentage, knocking them down at a 40.4% clip. |

12-14-22 | UCLA v. Maryland UNDER 142 | 87-60 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Future Big Ten Conference counterparts No. 16 UCLA and No. 20 Maryland will meet Wednesday in College Park, Md., for a nonconference showdown. The Bruins (8-2) carry a five-game winning streak to meet an opponent that beginning in 2024-25 will be a league foe. Until then, the Terrapins (8-2) are the first of UCLA's final three nonconference opponents before diving into the heart of Pac-12 play. UCLA's final nonleague stretch sends it to the East Coast for a pair of high-profile dates this week, with a Saturday matchup against Kentucky at Madison Square Garden looming. The trip to Maryland marks just the second true road game for the Bruins, who won their first and only road game Dec. 1 at Stanford. That Pac-12 victory came amid UCLA's ongoing winning streak, which extended with Saturday's 87-64 blowout of Denver. The Bruins doubled their halftime lead from nine to 18 points less than two minutes into the second half, taking control and never looking back. |

12-14-22 | UCF v. Ole Miss OVER 129.5 | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
After being stung with its first two losses of the season, Ole Miss bounced back with its best offensive performance of the year. UCF's offense also was exceptional in its most recent game. The Rebels (7-2) will host the Knights (7-2) in what could be a high-scoring nonconference game Wednesday night in Oxford, Miss. Ole Miss posted season highs for points, field-goal percentage, assists and steals as it led wire-to-wire in a 98-61 home victory against Valparaiso on Saturday. "I really thought this was obviously the best offensively that we've played," Rebels coach Kermit Davis said. Ole Miss, which lost to Oklahoma (59-55) on a neutral court and to Memphis on the road (68-57), had its best offensive half of the season against Valparaiso, opening a 39-19 lead on its way to a 53-30 halftime edge. Every Rebel who played in the game scored as Ole Miss came within one basket of reaching triple digits for the first time in five years. "It was good to see everybody play," Davis said. "We had 54 points off the bench, which was over half of our points and is a positive. It was good to have a win like that." UCF, meantime, were playing just their third game in nearly three weeks when they enjoyed their most productive long-range shooting effort of the season. |

12-14-22 | Hawks v. Magic UNDER 225 | 124-135 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
The suddenly surging Orlando Magic will carry a three-game winning streak into the finale of a five-game homestand Wednesday night when they host the Atlanta Hawks. Orlando lost nine straight and 11 of 12 prior to a 116-111 overtime defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers on Dec. 7. That win led to successive home victories over Toronto on Friday and Sunday. The winning streak is just the second of the Magic's season, and the team's longest since February 2021. The most recent time Orlando won four games in a row was the first four games of the 2020-21 season. "We're asking our guys to defend at a high level, which they did," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said after Orlando's 111-99 win over the Raptors on Sunday. "We are asking them to share the basketball and move the basketball, which they did. They're trusting each other and communicating with each other, staying poised down the stretch, which they've done. "We're moving in the right direction, and we've got to continue to that." Rookie standout Paolo Banchero's return to the lineup last month from a nearly three-week absence has helped buoy Orlando. Banchero's 20 points Sunday marked his fourth consecutive game with at least 20. He is also averaging 8.8 rebounds in that stretch. Second-year wing Franz Wagner also has keyed the Magic's winning streak. He followed a season-high 34-point performance in the first win over Toronto with 23 points and 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range in the second victory. |

12-14-22 | Ohio v. Florida UNDER 143.5 | 48-82 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
The Florida Gators will look to regroup from their worst home loss in nearly a quarter of a century when they face Ohio on Wednesday night in Tampa, Fla. The Gators (6-4) are coming off a 75-54 loss last Wednesday to then-No. 5 UConn. The 21-point setback was Florida's largest margin of defeat at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville since a 79-54 blowout loss to No. 8 Kentucky on Feb. 18, 1998. Florida led UConn 5-4 and then missed 11 consecutive shots as the Huskies raced to an 18-7 advantage. For the game, the Gators shot just 30.2 percent from the floor and had only six assists. With a seven-day layoff since the UConn loss, the Gators say they have focused on themselves, using the extra practice time to make offensive tweaks and emphasize getting stops in transition defense. |

12-13-22 | Eastern Washington v. Texas Tech UNDER 134.5 | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Texas Tech this season, as they are currently ranked 182nd in college basketball at 71.7 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that that have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Red Raiders’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 31.4%, placing them 394th in the NCAA. |

12-13-22 | North Carolina A&T v. Houston UNDER 129.5 | 46-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Houston lost for the first time this season and will no longer be the No. 1 team in the country when it hosts North Carolina A&T on Tuesday night. The fifth-ranked Cougars (9-1) blew a 15-point, second-half lead during Saturday's 71-65 loss to then-No. 8 Alabama but coach Kelvin Sampson made it clear there is no reason to panic over the setback. "That's the No. 8 ranked team in the nation, so no shame losing to a good Alabama team," Sampson said. "Disappointed, obviously, since we haven't lost a lot in this building (Fertitta Center), but give Alabama credit. They did a great job in that second half. "We could have played better, but we just have to stay with it. It's a long season. We have only played 10 games, and last time I checked, we have to play (at least) 22 more." Alabama's point total was easily the most allowed by the Cougars, who ranked second in scoring defense (49.7 points per game) entering Sunday's play. The previous high came in a 66-56 win over Oregon on Nov. 20. Guard Jamal Shead was highly disappointed in the way his team defended -- or didn't defend. |

The San Antonio Spurs will look to add to their modest winning streak and get some of their walking wounded back in the rotation when they square off with the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The Spurs (8-18) head home after a quick but successful road jaunt, druing which they defeated the Miami Heat 115-111 on Saturday to win their second straight game. San Antonio got two late jumpers from Devin Vassell and held on as the Heat missed two 3-point attempts in the closing seconds. "In general, the whole team did a good job," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "They're behind the curve coming out every night with all the injuries, and they haven't missed a beat. They've competed really well and we hit some timely shots (against Miami) down the stretch." San Antonio was led by Keldon Johnson's 21 points in the win and got a career-high 19 from Romeo Langford. Vassell, who had missed the Spurs' previous contest due to a knee injury, contributed 18 points. Doug McDermott added 13 points and San Antonio shot 53.8 percent from the floor and forged a 46-32 rebounding advantage. |

Monmouth has struggled this season, and have been the underdog in all of their ten games. In their defense, they have faced a relatively difficult non-conference schedule, KenPom has their adjusted non-conference schedule ranked as the 45th most difficult in the nation. Against Princeton, Monmouth got down 30-19 with four minutes left in the first half and the game never got closer as Princeton closed out an easy 37-point win. Monmouth only had one player reach double figures and he came off the bench, junior forward Kleman Vuga finished with ten points. Monmouth's one win on the season came in the previous game beating Manhattan 76-69 as 5.5-point underdogs. |

Draft Class of 2020 alums Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert are preparing to face each other for the second time - and with more at stake for their respective teams. Both quarterbacks are trying to do something classmates Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts have already accomplished: get to the postseason. Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins bring an 8-4 record into Sunday night's showdown and are in a position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Herbert's Los Angeles Chargers (6-6) haven't been to the postseason since 2018 and sit one game behind the New York Jets for the final spot in the AFC. Tagovailoa was the fifth overall pick three years ago while Herbert went one spot later. Herbert said it has been tough to build camaraderie with his classmates because of how COVID-19 affected the draft. |

The Jets, holding first place in the NHL's Central Division, open a three-game homestand after completing road wins on back-to-back nights with a 3-1 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. Blake Wheeler, Cole Perfetti and Adam Lowry scored for the Jets, who had defeated the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Thursday. "We're playing smart, playing above them, playing behind their goal line, stuff like that that we did tonight will work to our advantage," Perfetti said. "That's why we're finding success right now." David Rittich stopped 22 shots for the Jets, who have won seven of eight -- scoring five or more goals five times in that span. |

The Magic beat the Raptors 113-109 Friday night to win their second straight game following a nine-game slide. The game was tied when Franz Wagner made a putback after Markelle Fultz missed a jumper with 26.9 seconds to play in the fourth quarter. "He's about winning," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said after Wagner scored 34 points. "We've said this from the beginning of the year: He's one of the most competitive guys I've been around. Add that to the basketball IQ on top of that, that's what makes him special." Wagner shot 12-of-15 from the field and made all eight of his free throws. |

A six-game road trip that started out in promising fashion has gone sour for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have lost three in a row as they wrap up their journey Sunday in Detroit against the Pistons. Los Angeles defeated Milwaukee and Washington on the first two legs of the trip, but that was followed by losses in Cleveland, Toronto and Philadelphia, dropping the Lakers five games below .500. They nearly pulled off an unlikely comeback against the Sixers on Friday. The Lakers were down 18 points in the fourth quarter and still trailed by nine with 30 seconds left before a wild ending. "I told the team that as disappointed as I am that we didn't get the win, I still can have a good meal and sleep like a baby tonight because of the way we competed," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. "We did not quit. We did not give up." In the frantic final minute of regulation, Philadelphia committed three turnovers and missed a free throw, and the Lakers capitalized, tying the game to send it into overtime. |

The Seattle Kraken, who were perhaps the most surprising team in the NHL one week ago, will visit the Florida Panthers on Sunday with a different mindset: ending a three-game losing streak. Seattle was on a 12-1-1 roll until they played host to the Panthers on Dec. 3, losing 5-1. "There weren't just one or two guys who weren't good enough," Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said after the loss to Florida. "We were all below the bar." Seattle followed that dud with two more losses -- 4-2 at home against Montreal on Tuesday and 4-1 at Washington on Friday. "We have to get back to work," Hakstol said after Friday's loss. "You have tough stretches on the schedule. Guys have to step up and play good hockey." The Kraken will have to step up without defenseman Jamie Oleksiak, who was suspended for three games by the NHL on Saturday. The league penalized him for a high hit on Washington's Alexander Alexeyev. |

The Volunteers (8-1) are coming off an 84-49 win over visiting Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, while the Terrapins (8-1) suffered their first loss of the season in a 64-59 setback at Wisconsin on Tuesday. Tennessee's Tyreke Key scored a game-high 17 points, while Julian Phillips added 16 points and a game-high 10 rebounds against the Colonels. Zakai Zeigler chipped in 13 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals and Olivier Nkamhoua finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. While Tennessee struggled at times offensively, finishing 24 of 60 (40 percent) from the field and just 5 of 21 (23.8 percent) from 3-point range, the Volunteers excelled defensively. Tennessee forced Eastern Kentucky to shoot an abysmal 15 of 68 (22.1 percent) from the field, including 6 for 35 (17.1 percent) from beyond the arc. The Volunteers outrebounded the Colonels 56-40. |

 Forget "We're on to Cincinnati." The catchphrase coined eight years ago by Bill Belichick after the Patriots were blown out at Kansas City was updated this week by Chiefs coach Andy Reid following his team's latest loss to the Bengals. Now, it's "We're over Cincinnati." Reid was peppered with questions this week about the Chiefs (9-3) bouncing back after squandering a chance to maintain control of the AFC playoff race when they blew another late lead in a 27-24 loss to Cincinnati last weekend. That marked the third time this calendar year Joe Burrow got the best of Patrick Mahomes, including last year's conference championship at Arrowhead Stadium. After about the fourth question, Reid made it clear his focus was on the Broncos, not the Bengals. Same with Mahomes, who is 41-9 in games after Halloween over his career and has never lost to the Broncos (3-9) in nine tries. |

The Minnesota Vikings have won enough to be in a position to clinch the NFC North with almost a month left in the regular season. The Vikings (10-2) have won nine of their last 10 games, a string of success that started in September with a comeback win over Detroit and has been marked by one-possession games to raise questions about how good they are. The Lions (5-7), meanwhile, have won four of five games and have earned enough respect to be favored to beat Minnesota by 1 1/2 points, per FanDuel Sportsbook. It's the first time in the Super Bowl era that a 5-7 team is favored over a 10-2 team, according to Sportsradar. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins certainly isn't apologizing for winning nine games by eight or fewer points. |

12-11-22 | Eagles v. Giants OVER 44.5 | 48-22 | Win | 100 | 2 h 47 m | Show | |
There's a new twist to the New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles rivalry that dates to 1933. This year's version pits Brian Daboll of the Giants (7-4-1) against Nick Sirianni of the NFL-leading Eagles (11-1). It's their first meeting as head coaches, but they go back a decade. Daboll was the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012 under Romeo Crennel when they decided to gave Sirianni his first job as a position coach, putting him in charge of the wide receivers. "We didn't have a great year," said Sirianni, who like Daboll grew up in western New York. "We were 2-14, probably one of the hardest years professionally that I've had. But it was one of the years I grew the most as a coach because of Brian Daboll, the things he taught me about, about the game of football, things I use to this day." The pair sound similar talking about football, focused on one game at a time and improving every day in practice. Little mention of big-picture or down-the-road scenarios. They sidestep discussing playoff implications, even though the Eagles can clinch a spot this week with either a win or a tie. Philadelphia comes into the game with the NFL's best record, the third-ranked offense and the No. 2 defense. |

Portland's Damian Lillard was in destroy mode in his second game back from a calf injury, but his performance didn't lead to victory. Lillard will seek a happier ending on Saturday night when the Trail Blazers host the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first of consecutive games between the teams. They will play again Monday night in Portland. Lillard scored 40 points, buried a season-best nine 3-pointers and matched his season high of 12 assists on Thursday night, but the Trail Blazers fell 121-120 to the visiting Denver Nuggets. Portland led by as many as 11 points, but the Nuggets rallied in the fourth quarter and won on Jamal Murray's 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds remaining. "We fought and competed, but sometimes you have to play a little bit smarter and sometimes you have to be better about managing and controlling the things you can control," Lillard said afterward. The 40-point effort was the third of the season for Lillard in just 13 contests. He has been sidelined with two right calf injuries. Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was highly disappointed that Murray was able to get off a 3-point attempt in that situation. |

12-10-22 | Mavs v. Bulls UNDER 224.5 | 115-144 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls hope their version of the "Big Three" finally has arrived. DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine will look to send the Bulls to their second straight win on Saturday night when they host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. DeRozan collected 27 points and seven rebounds in Chicago's 115-111 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Vucevic added 25 points and 11 boards, and LaVine had 25 and seven, respectively, as the Bulls snapped a three-game skid. "That's been a conversation of late," DeRozan said. "Our teammates have been encouraging us to do that; they've kind of been on us, just telling us it's on us three to carry this thing, and they're going to be behind us. (On Wednesday), we tried to be assertive and prove that point, and we played well." Wednesday marked the first time this season that each member of the trio scored at least 25 points in a game. The group also came through in the clutch by combining to score 33 of the team's 35 points in the fourth quarter against Washington. |

12-10-22 | Xavier v. Cincinnati OVER 149.5 | 80-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
Cincinnati will host its archrival in front of a capacity crowd on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes Xavier in the 90th edition of the Crosstown Shootout between the city rivals. The two teams met on Dec. 6, 2020, at Fifth Third Arena on the Cincinnati campus but the crowd was severely limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bearcats (6-3) lead the series 51-38 but the Musketeers (6-3) have won three straight, seven of nine, and 11 of the past 15. Xavier is coming off its second-straight win, an 84-74 victory over West Virginia a week ago as part of the Big East-Big 12 Battle series. Xavier's Souley Boum averaged 19 points and five assists in two wins last week. Boum, who passed 2,000 collegiate points on Dec. 3, leads the team in scoring at 16.6 points per game. |

12-10-22 | Navy v. Army UNDER 32 | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
The Army offense is averaging 29.36. So far, big plays have been hard to come by for the unit, as they rank poorly in explosive plays both on the ground and through the air. However, they have an opportunity to put together an above-average performance vs a Navy defense ranked 124th in EPA. Army will be looking to continue to lean heavily on the run vs Navy, as they are one of the more rush-heavy teams in college football. However, they will be in for a tough test, as Navy features a front seven that is capable of making life difficult upfront. Heading into the game, the Black Knights will be looking to turn things around in the passing game, as their per-game average of 81.09 yards places them 215th in the NCAA. So far, they are the 226th-ranked team in attempts per contest (8.36). |

The Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators both will try to bounce back from recent losses when they meet Saturday afternoon in Music City. Ottawa has lost back-to-back games, including a 4-3 overtime setback to the Dallas Stars on Thursday. In the loss to Dallas, Ottawa had a late lead but allowed a game-tying goal from defenseman Nils Lundkvist with 5:06 remaining. In overtime, a Senators turnover in their own defensive zone led to a game-winning goal for the Stars' Tyler Seguin. "Down 2-0 early, and not a couple of great goals (against), but stayed with it and battled," Senators coach D.J. Smith said. "I thought we played a really good game. To lose that way in overtime, it hurts, but in saying that, that's a really good team and we had all kinds of opportunities to win." Smith's comments about the Senators battling back from an early 2-0 were echoed in the locker room. |

12-10-22 | Louisville v. Florida State OVER 137.5 | 53-75 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Florida State and Louisville collectively have one victory in 18 combined games so far this season. Each school is in the midst of its worst start in decades, but will look for an elusive win on Saturday when Florida State hosts Louisville in Tallahassee, Fla. The Cardinals (0-8, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) have dropped their first eight games for the first time since the 1940-41 season when they lost their first 11. The skid matched the worst start by an ACC school, tying the 1960-61 Virginia Cavaliers. Meanwhile the Seminoles (1-9, 0-1 ACC) have lost five in a row, the latest being a frustrating 62-57 loss on the road at No. 3 Virginia. Darin Green Jr. led Florida State with 17 points, but Florida State lost starting forward Cam'Ron Fletcher for the season due to a knee injury. The Seminoles already have guard Jeremiah Bembry out indefinitely with a back injury, lost guard Jaylan Gainey to a season-ending knee injury and are playing without freshman Baba Miller, who is suspended for six more games for receiving an improper travel benefit. |

12-08-22 | Nuggets v. Blazers UNDER 227.5 | 121-120 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets have hit a sudden roadblock and will aim to halt a season-worst, three-game losing streak when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night. The Nuggets won two-thirds of their first 21 games. But December began with road setbacks to the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans before Denver sustained a 116-115 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Bones Hyland was one of the many distraught Nuggets after the loss to Dallas. "We're frustrated. We know we're giving up so many games right now," Hyland said afterward. "We're losing games that we're supposed to be winning, and we know we're not giving a sense of urgency to defend and go out there and compete every night." Hyland scored 20 points in 30 minutes against the Mavericks. But he was in the doghouse two nights earlier when he played just five minutes against New Orleans before being benched by coach Michael Malone. |

The Dallas Stars have managed to avoid letting losses build up this season, a trend they will look to maintain when hosting the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. Dallas is coming off a 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, its second straight defeat after dropping a 6-5 shootout decision to the Minnesota Wild. It's only the fourth time this season the Stars have lost consecutive games, and they have yet to lose three in a row. The club is 1-1-1 to start a five-game homestand and 2-2-2 in the past six games. While the Stars' potent offense -- among the NHL's best with an average of 3.77 goals for per game (third-most entering Wednesday) -- has delivered with at least four goals scored in five of their past seven games, the team has struggled to keep the puck out of its own net, allowing at least four goals in five of their past seven as well. |

12-08-22 | Jets v. Blues UNDER 6.5 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 1 h 43 m | Show |
The Blues earned a 7-4 road victory over the New York Islanders Tuesday to snap a four-game losing streak. They broke out to a 5-1 lead and held on for the win. "It's really nice to win," Blues captain Ryan O'Reilly said. "It's something we haven't had in a while. Made it a little too exciting at the end there. But the big thing is we won a game. There's a lot of good things we did tonight. A few bad bounces in just a few minutes that gave them some life and spark. But at the end of the day it's a big win, and there's something to build off." The Blues won despite missing winger Pavel Buchnevich (lower-body injury) and defenseman Torey Krug (upper-body injury). Buchnevich has eight goals and six assists in his last 10 games. After winning seven straight games last month, the Blues lost six of seven games before beating the Islanders. Once again they are searching for a turning point to their season. |

12-08-22 | Iowa State v. Iowa UNDER 138 | Top | 56-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 58 m | Show |
Iowa (6-2) wasn't quite as sharp offensively in its last game, a 74-62 loss against Duke on Tuesday in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Hawkeyes shot 39.7 percent from the field overall and made just 3 of 16 attempts from 3-point range. "We have good shooters that didn't make shots (Tuesday)," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. "I thought we moved the ball and shot open shots, and they didn't go in." A big reason for Iowa's success on offense has been its value of the basketball. The Hawkeyes lead the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.93 and are averaging nine turnovers a game, the second-fewest in the country. Leading the way has been Kris Murray, who is averaging 19.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per contest in taking over the lead role left by twin brother Keegan Murray, now playing in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings. Patrick McCaffery (12.8), Tony Perkins (11.7), and Filip Rebraca (10.3) are also averaging double-figures in scoring. Iowa hopes fatigue won't be a factor, given it will be a quick two-day turnaround from playing Duke. The Hawkeyes have won four of the last six meetings. Iowa State won last year's game at home in Ames, 73-53. |

12-07-22 | CS-Fullerton v. USC UNDER 134.5 | 50-64 | Win | 100 | 4 h 46 m | Show | |
A pair of participants in last season's NCAA Tournament meet in a regional nonconference showdown on Wednesday, as Southern California welcomes reigning Big West Conference tournament champion Cal State Fullerton to Los Angeles. USC (6-3) is returning to nonleague competition with Wednesday's contest, coming off a 2-0 start to Pac-12 Conference play last week. The Trojans routed Cal 66-51 on the road on Nov. 30 before completing a wild comeback from down 11 points at halftime to beat Oregon State 63-62 on Sunday. Kobe Johnson scored 17 points and made five steals against the Beavers. The sophomore came through with a pivotal stretch in which he made a 3-pointer, scored in the paint and came up with his final takeaway. "This is a big game for him because we have a lot of players who are developing," USC coach Andy Enfield said postgame. "We won 26 games last year and were ranked in the top 20 (in 2021-22) ... on that team we had a lot of veterans. "If you look at Kobe Johnson, he was a role player last year as a freshman and helped us, but he didn't play 33 minutes like he did tonight and start." Enfield cited players such as Johnson, Tre White and Joshua Morgan developing to complement returning starters Drew Peterson and Boogie Ellis as central to the Trojans' improvement. |

12-07-22 | Canucks v. Sharks UNDER 6.5 | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
The Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks have yet to get on a serious roll this season. Neither team has won more than three games in a row. Vancouver has shown some recent signs of positivity, however, and the Canucks will try to build on that success when they visit the Sharks on Wednesday night. Vancouver is coming off back-to-back overtime home wins against the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday and the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. The last three victories for the Canucks have come in the extra five-minute period. The Canucks fell behind 4-0 to Montreal before rallying for the 7-6 win 13 seconds into overtime. "At the end of the day, I don't care how we did it, we got it done," Vancouver forward Bo Horvat said. "Obviously, it was not pretty. We made it pretty hard on ourselves, but we showed a lot of resilience (Monday) night. ... It was a fun one." The Sharks, meanwhile, have lost three in a row and six of seven (1-5-1). San Jose is coming off a 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday to complete a 1-3-0 road trip. |

Domantas Sabonis and Giannis Antetokounmpo rekindle an old rivalry when the Sacramento Kings tip off a six-game trip with a visit to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Both teams are staring at a healthy amount of road games ahead as they duel for the first of two games against each other this season. They will meet in a rematch at Sacramento in March. In a promising start to the season, the Kings have held their own away from home, going 5-5 while winning three of their last five. They earned a split on their longest previous trip, winning at Charlotte and Orlando on a four-game trek that included losses to the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. Meanwhile, the Bucks won at Charlotte on Saturday and Orlando on Monday as they began a stretch of 10 of the next 13 on the road. Milwaukee's one-game stopover at home to face the Kings is one of three one-game visits home in that 26-day stretch. Sabonis and Antetokounmpo were twice selected as Eastern Conference All-Stars in the same year before the Bucks' Central Division rival, the Indiana Pacers, dealt their star big man to the Kings last February. Sabonis has gone head-to-head with the two-time MVP Antetokounmpo 17 times since 2017 without much success. The Bucks have won 12 of those games, including one against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with whom Sabonis began his career, and one last March against the Kings. |

Falling a season-low five games below .500 carries a sting for the Chicago Bulls, to be sure. Still, team leaders DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine remain steadfast the Bulls won't allow the skid to discourage them. "We got urgency," LaVine said. "We talk to each other every day. We watch film. We have pride. Guys have individual goals. It's just executing it." Chicago enters Wednesday's visit from the Washington Wizards on a three-game losing streak. The team's West Coast road trip concluded with a 2-4 mark, though just one defeat came by double digits. Acknowledging his personal struggles during Sunday's 110-101 loss at Sacramento, DeRozan appeared confident the Bulls would work through matters to spark a turnaround. |

With a four-game winning streak and victories in six of seven outings, the Minnesota Wild head to Calgary for Wednesday's road clash with the Flames feeling some confidence in their game. Some confidence, but not brimming with it. The Wild arrive in Canada on the heels of winning their last two games in rather inglorious fashion. After requiring a late goal to force extra time in a 5-4 shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, the Wild kicked off a four-game road swing with a crazier 6-5 shootout victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday. Minnesota staked a 5-1 lead in the first minute of the third period before watching it dissipate -- then recovering to win thanks to Frederick Gaudreau's shootout winner. A win is a win, but those two didn't follow the script teams want. |

12-06-22 | Mavs v. Nuggets UNDER 222.5 | 116-115 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
In less than 48 hours, the Denver Nuggets went from flying high to crashing and burning. A two-game losing streak can do that to a team, especially coming off four straight wins. Denver lost two very winnable games at Atlanta and New Orleans and now has to be ready for the Dallas Mavericks, who are in town for a Tuesday night matchup. Dallas is looking for a little payback against the Nuggets, who stole a game from the Mavericks in Dallas despite missing Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon in the 98-97 victory. That kick-started a four-game skid for the Mavericks, but they've bounced back to win three of their last four. Denver has those three back but might be without Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist). Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is already ruled out for Tuesday night, but Jeff Green (knee) is likely to return to action. The injuries have forced head coach Michael Malone to shuffle his lineups, which has had an impact on the bench play. Reserves have been thrust into the starting lineup and there has been a lack of consistency from the bench. It was evident in the loss to the Pelicans on Sunday afternoon when New Orleans' bench outscored the Nuggets' second unit 62-18. |

Mitchell Marner will try to extend his team-record 19-game point streak and help the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs regain their winning form Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars. Marner set the club record Saturday night with two goals -- the first while Toronto was short-handed -- in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opener of a two-game road trip. Toronto had won its previous five games. "It's special growing up to watch this team play hockey and now to have my name in something -- pretty amazing, it's hard to describe," Marner said. "Like I've been saying, it's not a one-man effort out there. It's five men. Great effort by Dave (Kampf) on the first one. A lot of love to my guys for helping me achieve this accomplishment." Darryl Sittler (1977-78 season) and Eddie Olczyk (1989-90) each had 18-game point streaks for Toronto. Marner has nine goals and 17 assists during his streak. "To secure the record, it's great to see," Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. "Very well-deserved. He was excellent again (Saturday)." Keefe wasn't the only one impressed by Marner's feat. |

The Cleveland Cavaliers aim to continue their sterling play at home on Tuesday against former face of the franchise LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the streaking Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavaliers are returning home after dropping a 92-81 decision to the New York Knicks on Sunday. Cleveland fell to 5-8 on the road this season and looks vastly different than the team that has compiled a 10-1 record at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. "On the road, I feel like we have been playing a little slower than at home. We're energetic at home. We get that energy from the crowd, and it fuels us," Evan Mobley said, per Cleveland.com. "We just have to transfer that pace and style of play over. We have to bring that energy ourselves. Players. Coaches. Everybody. On the court. On the bench. Just create our own energy because the crowd is definitely not going to do that for us." Donovan Mitchell made himself at home on Sunday because, well, he was home. The New York native scored a team-high 23 points in a losing effort against the Knicks. |

Firmly entrenched in a recent run of superb play, the Tampa Bay Lightning are adhering to one of the most common narratives this time of year -- being home for the holidays. After a November in which they went 8-4-1, the Lightning will play the second contest of their season-long six-game homestand Tuesday when they host the Detroit Red Wings in the first of four matchups this season. In all, Tampa Bay will play eight more December matches at its home by the bay, closing out 2022 with three home tilts in four days -- versus the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Arizona Coyotes. Home ice has been good to the third-place Lightning, who are 8-3-1 on it and coming off an impressive meeting with the division-rival Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. The Lightning scored twice on the power play in the third period to take a 3-2 lead, then saw veteran Alex Killorn pot the game-winning goal 33 seconds into overtime for a 4-3 victory over the second-place Leafs. Lightning coach Jon Cooper, whose squad was 2-for-6 on the power play but allowed Mitch Marner's short-handed tally, said special teams created a "weird" flow throughout. |

12-05-22 | Kent State v. Gonzaga UNDER 153.5 | Top | 66-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
It was the kind of loss that can turn into two or more if a team isn't careful. Ahead by seven points with less than two minutes left Friday night, No. 14 Gonzaga managed to lose as sixth-ranked Baylor rattled off the last eight points to earn a 64-63 decision in Sioux Falls, S.D. There isn't a lot of time for the Bulldogs to dwell on that outcome, though, as they have a dangerous game Monday night when Kent State visits Spokane for a non-conference contest. Gonzaga (5-3) owned a 63-56 advantage with 1:41 remaining after Malachi Smith dunked, but it whiffed on its last five possessions. It committed a couple of turnovers, including a shot clock violation while it tried to add to a one-point lead. Rasir Bolton missed a driving layup under heavy guarding just before time expired. It was a fitting capper to a game where the Zags simply weren't in sync offensively after Baylor limited their best player, Drew Timme, to six shots and nine points. It didn't help that Timme found foul trouble, eventually fouling out before Jalen Bridges hit two foul shots with 16.1 seconds left to put Baylor ahead to stay. |

Dallas has been struggling of late but put together a solid game with Saturday's 121-100 road victory over the New York Knicks. Luka Doncic scored 30 points to reach at least that output for the third straight game. Tim Hardaway Jr. matched his season high of 28 points while draining a season-best eight 3-pointers. The Mavericks knocked down 24 3-pointers in a franchise-record 61 attempts. "I think it's great that everyone's in the locker room smiling," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said afterward. "Everybody saw the ball go in, we shared the ball, we played the right way. "We're a team that lives or dies by the 3, and (Saturday) we made them." The Mavericks trailed 59-52 at halftime but turned the game around by outscoring New York 41-15 in the third quarter. |

The Edmonton Oilers will attempt to secure their fifth win in six games when they host the Washington Capitals on Monday night. The Oilers come in off a 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night that saw Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl produce four points apiece. McDavid provided two goals and two assists and Draisaitl scored a goal while adding three assists. It was the ninth time the duo has scored four points each in the same game. The Oilers led 4-3 after two periods and shut the Canadiens down for the final 20 minutes. "We were not very good for 40 minutes, and we were lucky to find ourselves up by one after two periods," McDavid said. "But I thought it was really a good job of playing a solid, mature third period and not giving them anything." Tyson Barrie and Zach Hyman each had two assists for Edmonton, which scored three straight power-play goals in an 8:11 span of the second period. Stuart Skinner made 30 saves. The Oilers were without forwards Evander Kane (wrist surgery), Warren Foegele (undisclosed injuries) and Ryan McLeod (undisclosed). |

After missing the last game with right shoulder soreness or just flat-out refusing to play, Trae Young is expected to return to the lineup when the Atlanta Hawks host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The Hawks have won two straight, including a 117-109 defeat of Denver on Friday when they played without Young and starters John Collins and De'Andre Hunter. The Thunder have also won two in a row after Saturday's 135-128 victory at Minnesota. Atlanta swept the two-game series last season and has won three straight against the Thunder. The Hawks have a three-game winning streak against Oklahoma City in games played in Atlanta. Collins will miss two weeks after injuring his left ankle while landing awkwardly on a failed lob attempt. Hunter is out a week with a right hip flexor strain. Atlanta's Bogdan Bogdanovic played for the first time after off-season knee surgery, received a standing ovation, and scored five points in 22 minutes against the Nuggets. |

12-05-22 | Blues v. Rangers OVER 5.5 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
With just under three minutes left in the second period Saturday, New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba was given a misconduct for his second fighting major and before heading to the locker room, the team captain flung his helmet at the boards and yelled at his teammates on the bench. Roughly 400 miles away, the St. Louis Blues experienced similar frustration in a game at Pittsburgh. Two teams agitated by recent performances get together Monday when the Rangers host the Blues. After a spirited run to the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Rangers are struggling to match the high expectations and their dissatisfaction seemed to reach its boiling point with a 5-2 home loss Saturday to the Chicago Blackhawks. Trouba took two fighting majors, in addition to a hooking penalty that led to Chicago's third power-play goal, and his emotional display occurred after the Rangers allowed two power-play goals in 60 seconds to fall behind by three goals. The loss to Chicago gave New York a four-game home losing streak (0-3-1) and a middling 4-6-4 home record after going 27-10-4 on home ice last year. It also sent the Rangers to their 10th loss in 15 games (5-7-3) since Nov. 3 and pushed them 14 points behind the first-place New Jersey Devils in the Metropolitan Division. |

The Colts are facing the short week after a 24-17 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night, while the Cowboys are on extended break coming off the 28-20 Thanksgiving victory over New York. Dallas leads the NFL in sacks and will face the offensive line that has allowed the most. On offense, the Cowboys are among the league's best in the six weeks since quarterback Dak Prescott returned from a broken thumb on his throwing hand. It's the fourth game for Matt Ryan since interim coach Jeff Saturday reinserted him as the starter for the Colts. The 37-year-old is facing the NFL's top passing defense. "The one thing I've learned is you never know how games are going to shake out," Ryan said. "It doesn't matter which two teams show up and what you've done up until this point. We have a really good defense, too, that they have to go against." That's one of Prescott's points about the Colts, who are 10 1/2-point underdogs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. |

12-04-22 | Blackhawks v. Islanders UNDER 6 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
The Chicago Blackhawks waited almost three weeks to end a losing streak. They won't even have to wait 24 hours to try to build a winning streak. The Blackhawks are looking to conclude their weekend in the New York City area in successful fashion Sunday night, when they are slated to visit the New York Islanders in Elmont, N.Y. The Blackhawks snapped their eight-game losing streak Saturday night, when they never trailed in a 5-2 win over the host New York Rangers. The Islanders were off Saturday after suffering their second straight defeat Friday night, when they fell to the visiting Nashville Predators 4-1. Chicago's win provided some much-needed relief, after it lost six games by two goals or more during their eight-game skid (0-7-1). Max Domi scored twice Saturday for the Blackhawks, who raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first 30 minutes. They were never seriously threatened in winning for the first time since Nov. 12 and for just the third time in 17 games (3-10-4) since opening 4-2-0. The margin of victory was tied for the Blackhawks' largest of the season. Chicago also beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Oct. 15. |

12-04-22 | Grizzlies v. Pistons UNDER 229 | 122-112 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
Most of the Memphis Grizzlies' struggles this season have come on the road. Seven of their nine losses have come away from home, which makes even a matchup against one of the NBA's worst teams a significant challenge. Memphis makes a quick trip to Detroit on Sunday prior to a five-game homestand. The Grizzlies have won three of their last four games, including a 117-109 triumph against Philadelphia on Friday. Memphis trailed after the first quarter but took command by outscoring the Sixers 35-24 in the second quarter. "We didn't really have our energy in the first quarter but I thought our group really responded," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. "Just challenged each other to pick it up. We knew going into the gameplan our defensive activity was going to be huge (Friday). I thought we definitely responded." As usual, floor leader Ja Morant led the team in scoring with 28 points. Jenkins was just as impressed with the play of his top big men. Center Steven Adams contributed nine points, 16 rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks. |

12-04-22 | Lakers v. Wizards UNDER 233.5 | 130-119 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
The recently resurgent Los Angeles Lakers look to stay hot away from home when they continue a five-game eastern trip Sunday, taking on a host Washington Wizards team trying to shake out of a funk. The Wizards lost for the fifth time in six games Friday when their fourth-quarter rally at Charlotte fell just short, 117-116. The Wizards stormed back from a 13-point deficit, outscoring the Hornets 18-6 over the final 8:19, but could not complete the comeback. "The biggest thing we learned is we just can't get in a hole like that," Bradley Beal said to the Washington Post following the loss. Beal scored 33 points but committed two costly turnovers in the closing stretch. "It's tough to climb out of those holes and close out games, too." The Wizards trailed by 15 points at halftime after a 38-28 second quarter. Washington surrendered 72 first-half points and, despite a big rally in the fourth quarter, could not overcome the initial deficit. As Washington looks to pull out of its recent swoon, the Lakers come in having won four of five, including their last three on the road. Friday night the Lakers started their trip in Milwaukee with a 133-129 victory over the Bucks. |
