11-28-22 | Seattle University v. Washington OVER 141.5 | 66-77 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Washington (5-1) also has enjoyed some early-season success, returning home after claiming the championship of the Wooden Legacy tournament at Anaheim, Calif., with a 68-64 overtime victory Friday against Saint Mary's. Â Â Â"We found ways to win and at the end of the day, that's what it's all about," Huskies coach Mike Hopkins said. "Win the game in front of you. Get better. And move forward." The Huskies were led by a pair of transfers in tourney MVP Keion Brooks Jr. (Kentucky) and all-tournament pick Franck Kepnang (Oregon). Brooks had 14 points and 11 rebounds in the title game and Kepnang added 10 points and five rebounds. "It was big for our team just to get this win and go back to Seattle with the trophy," Kepnang said. "That's what we said coming into the game is that we're coming back home ... with the trophy." |

11-28-22 | Rockets v. Nuggets -11 | 113-129 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
Injuries and illness created an opportunity for Vlatko Cancar to show he can make a valuable contribution to the Denver Nuggets. After three years of mop-up minutes, he is showing he belongs in the rotation. Cancar played a total of 25 minutes through the first month of the season, but with several players missing he has been pushed into service. He is averaging 23.4 minutes over the last four games and has made key contributions on both offense and defense. He'll get more quality time when Denver hosts Houston on Monday night in the first of two home games against the Rockets. Michael Porter Jr. (heel) and Jeff Green (knee) are not expected to play. Cancar's expanded role started at Dallas on Nov. 18 when the Nuggets were without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Denver lost that game by 28 points but beat the Mavericks two nights later, and a big reason was Cancar's halfcourt heave that ended the second quarter. In the last two games he has played 60 minutes, averaging 16 points while playing strong defense. He had three blocks in an overtime win at Oklahoma City on Wednesday and was disruptive in a win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. |

11-28-22 | Pittsburgh v. Northwestern UNDER 128.5 | 87-58 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh swept through its Thanksgiving week schedule with home wins against Alabama State, Fairleigh Dickinson and William & Mary, needing strong, second-half spurts to pull away each time. Has something been amiss with the Panthers in the first 20 minutes of games entering Monday's visit to Evanston, Ill., to play Northwestern in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge? "I wish I could tell you. It's frustrating," Pitt coach Jeff Capel said. "I don't know if there's something we need to change in warmups, but we need to figure it out. As we move forward, the competition increases, starting on Monday. If you dig yourself a hole in these next three games, it will be difficult to dig out of." Pitt (4-3) is coming off Friday's 80-64 win against William & Mary. Trailing 37-33 at halftime, the Panthers relied on the second double-double of the season from Blake Hinson, who finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Nike Sibande narrowly missed a double-double, contributing 15 points and nine boards. Monday's game begins a three-game road trip for the Panthers, with upcoming stops at North Carolina State and Vanderbilt. Northwestern (5-1) absorbed its first defeat Wednesday, losing 43-42 to No. 13 Auburn in the championship game of the Cancun Challenge. |

11-28-22 | Hornets v. Celtics UNDER 225.5 | 105-140 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
The Charlotte Hornets will be without guard Gordon Hayward when they visit the Boston Celtics on Monday night. According to multiple reports, Hayward has a fractured left shoulder and is expected to be out for an extended period of time. Hayward, 32, missed eight consecutive games earlier this month with what was originally termed a shoulder contusion. He played in three consecutive games before sitting out Friday night's 110-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves due to the shoulder injury. Hayward has appeared in 11 games this season. He's averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 44.5 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from 3-point range. He spent three seasons with the Celtics, who sent him to the Hornets in a sign-and-trade agreement in 2020. Boston was without star forward Jason Tatum (ankle) for Sunday night's 130-121 victory over the Washington Wizards. It was the third game of a six-game homestand for the Celtics, who have won three in a row. It was also the first game Tatum has missed this season. Tatum injured his ankle against the Chicago Bulls last Monday, but he played in Wednesday's 125-112 victory over the Dallas Mavericks and in Friday's 122-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings. He was Boston's leading scorer and rebounder in each game. Tatum is averaging 36.9 minutes, 30.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season. He is listed as day to day. |

11-28-22 | Magic v. Nets UNDER 224.5 | 102-109 | Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Players returning from injuries or offseason surgery normally sit out a portion of a back-to-back set, but the way Brooklyn's Seth Curry performed Sunday afternoon against the Portland Trail Blazers might make it a harder-than-usual decision for the Nets. After Curry's 29 points and seven 3-pointers helped the Nets successfully start their season-high seven-game homestand, Brooklyn will attempt to reach the .500 mark for the second time this season when it hosts the Orlando Magic on the back end of a back-to-back on Monday night. Brooklyn is attempting to reach .500 for the first time since it beat Toronto in the second game of the season after getting blown out by New Orleans in the season opener. The Nets were one game under .500 twice last week but followed both instances with losses (in Philadelphia and Indiana). After collapsing in the fourth quarter Friday, Curry helped the Nets pull away in the final 12 minutes of Sunday's 111-97 victory over the Blazers. He scored 13 points in the quarter, including 11 in the time Kevin Durant spent getting a rest. The 29 points was Curry's highest total in 30 regular-season games since becoming a Net along with Ben Simmons in the trade for James Harden. Following offseason ankle surgery, Curry is averaging 11.4 points a game and shooting 43.9 percent (25-of-57) from 3-point range. |

11-28-22 | Louisiana-Monroe +18.5 v. Tulane | 60-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Louisiana Monroe returns five players who have starting experience but also welcomes eight newcomers, including five transfers. The new players will be asked to invigorate a lineup that couldn't close out games last season. "Over the last couple of years, we've been competitive," ULM coach Keith Richard said. "We've been in almost all the games. In many games we led by six with eight minutes to go, and up four with four minutes to go. In some of those games, we just couldn't hang on. Whether it's the offensive end or the defensive end, we just haven't been a very strong team... I think these newcomers are the answer for us as far as how much better we can be." The new players include 6-10 center Victor Bafutto (Mercer transfer), guard Jamari Blackmon (North Alabama transfer), 6-11 forward AD Diedhiou (UAB transfer), guard Devon Hancock (Milwaukee transfer), and guard Tyreke Locure (UAB transfer). Locus is leading the squad in scoring (13.0 PPG), Blackmon is averaging 10.7 points on 53.2 percent shooting, and Bafutto is contributing 7.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per contest. Junior forward Nika Metskhvarishvili (9.8 PPG and 5.8 RPG) and sophomore forward Thomas Howell (8.6 PPG and 6.6 RPG) are two returning starters making key contributions. |

11-28-22 | Dartmouth +2.5 v. Grambling State | 49-73 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
Junior forward Dusan Neskovic leads the team in scoring and has reached double-digit scoring in four of five games prior to Sunday's game. His best game was a 23-point performance in the season-opener at Fordham. He added six rebounds and two assists in that game. For the season, he is averaging 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He has been red hot from the floor, connecting on 56.5% of his field goals, including 53.3% from the 3-point range. |

11-27-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Bucks | Top | 115-124 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
Two of the NBA's top MVP candidates will meet when the Dallas Mavericks conclude their three-game trip on Sunday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Dallas has lost three straight despite the play of star Luka Doncic, who leads the league in scoring at 33.4 points per game while averaging 8.9 rebounds and 8.2 assists. Milwaukee, again, is led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 31 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. Antetokounmpo scored 38 points in the Bucks' 117-102 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Milwaukee trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half before going on a 23-2 run to begin the third quarter. "They turned it up to a level that we haven't seen, that we haven't experienced," said Cleveland star Donovan Mitchell. Jevon Carter scored 18 points and Bobby Portis Jr. had 14 for Milwaukee, which improved to 10-2 at home with the victory. The Bucks offered a reminder of their defensive potential in the dominant third quarter when they outscored the overwhelmed Cavaliers 35-10. |

11-27-22 | 76ers v. Magic OVER 213 | 133-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia 76ers will look to record their second win in three days over the Magic on Sunday night when the undermanned teams reconvene in Orlando, Fla. Shake Milton came within an eyelash of his first triple-double in the NBA on Friday after collecting 24 points, a career-high 10 assists and nine rebounds in the 76ers' 107-99 victory over the Magic. Milton made 7 of 13 shots from the floor -- including four 3-pointers -- to propel Philadelphia to its fifth win in seven games. The fifth-year guard is averaging 22.3 points in his last four games on 56.9 percent shooting from the floor and 52.6 percent from 3-point range. He also is averaging 7.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists over that same span. Tobias Harris added 23 points and 10 rebounds and Georges Niang stepped up with five 3-pointers for the 76ers, who played without five-time All-Star Joel Embiid for the third straight game due to a left mid-foot sprain. Philadelphia also was without James Harden (right foot strain) for a 10th consecutive contest and Tyrese Maxey (left foot fracture) for a fourth straight outing. Despite their absences, Philadelphia kept its resolve and fended off Orlando in the late going of the fourth quarter on Friday. |

11-27-22 | Grizzlies v. Knicks +2.5 | Top | 127-123 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
For the New York Knicks, home is not where their defense is. But Madison Square Garden is where the high-powered Memphis Grizzlies will be Sunday night when the Knicks are slated to close out a two-game homestand by hosting the Grizzlies. Both teams were off Saturday after playing at home Friday. The Knicks squandered a 14-point first-half lead and fell to the Portland Trail Blazers, 132-129, in overtime. The Grizzlies never trailed in a 132-111 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Knicks opened their home schedule with a pair of strong defensive efforts in a 130-106 win over the Detroit Pistons and a 115-102 victory over the Orlando Magic. But New York has given up at least 130 points in four of its last six home games after surrendering at least 130 points just three times -- anywhere -- in the first two seasons under defensive-minded head coach Tom Thibodeau. The loss Friday was particularly discouraging for the Knicks, who didn't have to face Trail Blazers superstar guard Damian Lillard (right calf strain) but were victimized instead by the trio of Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons and Josh Hart. |

11-27-22 | Warriors v. Wolves UNDER 236.5 | 137-114 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Two days after seeing the new-look Utah Jazz for the first time this season, the Golden State Warriors will get up-close-and-personal with Rudy Gobert in a different uniform when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon. The Warriors flew to the Midwest with a two-game winning streak, not surprising since their previous two games were at home. They've won nine of their 10 home games this season, while losing nine of 10 on the road. En route to the NBA championship last season, the Warriors followed that same pattern in games against the Timberwolves, winning by an average of 11 points in two home games, but losing by an average of 17.5 in two visits to Minnesota. Karl-Anthony Towns was the biggest thorn in the Warriors' side in the Timberwolves' home success, contributing 26 points and 11 rebounds to a 119-99 romp in January, then 39 points and nine rebounds to a 129-114 triumph in March. Towns had 5 of 10 and 3 of 6 outings from 3-point range among his four head-to-heads with Golden State, which might not bode well for the Warriors in this year's first meeting. |

11-27-22 | North Carolina +1 v. Alabama | 101-103 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
Top-ranked North Carolina began this weekend by squeaking past Portland and losing to Iowa State in its first encounter with a tough defense. Meanwhile, No. 18 Alabama began the weekend by defending well enough to get past Michigan State before being unable to stop the size of 20th-ranked UConn, falling 82-67. Friday's rough showings resulted in both schools taking their first loss and the Tar Heels and Crimson Tide are hoping to avoid a second defeat Sunday when they oppose each other in the third-place game of the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Ore. "If we lose to North Carolina, which is obviously very possible -- they're the No. 1 team in the country -- you leave out of here 1-2 and you're not feeling very good about yourself after the win over Michigan State and you're on a two-game losing streak," Alabama coach Nate Oats said. |

11-27-22 | Blazers v. Nets -8.5 | 97-111 | Win | 100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
The Nets are starting a season-high seven-game homestand after following up a 112-98 win in Toronto with a 128-117 loss at Indiana on Friday. Brooklyn is returning home through Dec. 9 after getting outscored 40-23 in the fourth quarter by the Pacers. The Nets entered the final 12 minutes holding a six-point lead but allowed Indiana to shoot 63 percent (12 of 19) and make 12 of 16 free throws to pull away. Kevin Durant scored 20 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter while Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving, who each scored 20 points combined for three points in the fourth. "It's pretty frustrating," said Simmons, who is averaging 15.5 points in his past six contests. "You've gotta take that next step. It's easy for us to lock in for that first half, three quarters, whatever it is. We've got to learn how to do that the whole game, from the first to the last guy." The Nets are attempting to sweep the season series for the first time since 2012-13. Brooklyn rallied from an 11-point deficit for a 109-107 win in Portland on Nov. 17 when Royce O'Neal hit a putback in the final seconds. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Drexel v. Temple -8 | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
Temple is allowing 72.3 points per game and opponents are hitting shots at a rate of 45.6%. Despite not forcing many turnovers, the Owls have great perimeter defense. They are only allowing 16.3 3-point attempts per game and opponents are only knocking down 4.8, shooting less than 30%. Temple is also giving you a defense that simply doesn't commit too many fouls. Over the last four games, Temple's opponents are going to the line about 26% of the time. One of those games included Temple committing several late-game fouls. If we neglect the late-game free throws, that free throw rate drops down to about 20%. |

11-26-22 | Jazz +7.5 v. Suns | Top | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
The Utah Jazz snapped a three-game losing streak eight days ago when they edged the Suns in Salt Lake City. The Jazz, losers of six of their past eight games, will hope for the same positive result Saturday night in Phoenix as they find themselves in the midst of another three-game streak. This much is true: Utah will need to shoot a lot better to beat the Suns than it did while losing at Golden State 129-118 on Friday night, following losses to Detroit and the Los Angeles Clippers. Against the Warriors, the Jazz only made 11 of 45 3-pointers. "For the most part, I felt we played the way we wanted to play," Jazz coach Will Hardy said. "When you shoot 25 percent from 3, it puts a lot of pressure on you." Golden State jumped to a 37-23 lead in the first quarter, but the Jazz overcame the early deficit. Sustaining that momentum proved too difficult, however. Utah briefly took a one-point lead in the third quarter, but Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and company made the visitors pay for their off-night from 3-point range. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Jazz v. Suns UNDER 233 | Top | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Phoenix beat Detroit 108-102 on Friday night despite shooting 24.1 percent beyond the arc. The Suns shot 48.3 percent overall, with Deandre Ayton leading the way by hitting 11 of 13 shots en route to 28 points. "Although we didn't make the shots we wanted, the defensive intensity was still there," Ayton said. "That is what really put us in position to win the game." Ayton also grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked two shots. He had a key putback bucket with 1:34 remaining vs. the Pistons to increase Phoenix's lead to five. "He did a real good job on screens tonight, and it opened him up for baskets," teammate Cameron Payne said. "Sometimes, that's how it goes. You sacrifice your body and then you're the one who gets the reward." Both teams will be without their veteran starting point guard. Chris Paul has been out seven games with a sore right heel, while the Jazz have struggled with Mike Conley (knee) sidelined during their latest losing streak. Phoenix has replaced Utah atop the Western Conference standings since the two teams last met. |

11-26-22 | Lakers v. Spurs OVER 231.5 | 143-138 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Lakers will look to sweep a two-games-in-two-nights series against the reeling San Antonio Spurs when the teams square off Saturday night in the Alamo City. It will be the third game between the teams over a seven-day stretch, with Los Angeles capturing the first two. The Lakers, buoyed by the continued dominating play of Anthony Davis and the return of LeBron James, did enough to beat San Antonio 105-94 on Friday in the first game of the two-game set. It was the Lakers' first road win of the year after six losses. Davis had 25 points and 15 rebounds in Friday's win, scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter after the Spurs clawed their way back into the game with a rousing third period. James was a force after being out with an adductor strain since Nov. 9, scoring 21 points. He also had nine of the Lakers' 21 turnovers. "It felt pretty good to get out there on the court with my guys and make some plays and help them get the win," James said afterward. He said he expected to play again on Saturday. |

11-26-22 | Thunder v. Rockets OVER 231 | Top | 105-118 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Houston coach Stephen Silas has spoken often about the need for the Rockets to be rewarded for their effort, to glean something tangible from spirited showings beyond another close defeat. The Rockets finally secured a much-needed victory on Friday, outlasting the visiting Atlanta Hawks 128-122 by surrendering only 18 points in the fourth quarter while producing a plus-31 rebounding margin -- including 22 offensive boards that yielded 37 second-chance points. After surveying the celebratory mood in the locker room following a win that snapped a four-game homecourt losing skid, Silas recognized that the moment was short-lived at best. "They obviously were excited, and I was happy for them," Silas said. "And then they said we've got another one tomorrow. That's the beauty of the NBA. You've got another one tomorrow." The Rockets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back for both. The Thunder topped the Chicago Bulls 123-119 in overtime on Friday. |

11-25-22 | Kings +8 v. Celtics | 104-122 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
The NBA's two winningest teams in November match up Friday night when the Sacramento Kings visit the Boston Celtics. Nobody has won more often than the Celtics this month, who are 10-2 even after losing their first November game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston had a nine-game winning streak snapped Monday at Chicago but rebounded to thump the Dallas Mavericks 125-112 on Wednesday. The Kings are coming off a 115-106 loss at Atlanta on Wednesday that ended a seven-game winning run. They're now 8-3 in November, tied with the Los Angeles Clippers for the second-most wins this month but having played one fewer game. The matchup delivers Kings coach Mike Brown to the site of his championship-clinching win over the Celtics last June as Steve Kerr's assistant with Golden State. The return does not have pleasant memories for most Kings, however, as they were steamrolled by Jayson Tatum (36 points) and Jaylen Brown (30) in a 128-75 shellacking last January. Tatum and Brown also ganged up on the Mavericks this week, with Tatum pouring in 37 points as part of a double-double with 13 rebounds, while Brown knocked down 13 of his 18 shots en route to 31 points. The Kings can expect to see a different look from the Celtics than what they displayed during much of their November run after Derrick White's return to the starting lineup Wednesday. Grant Williams went back to the bench. |

11-25-22 | Pelicans v. Grizzlies UNDER 227.5 | 111-132 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Zion Williamson and Ja Morant were the first two players selected in the 2019 NBA Draft. The New Orleans Pelicans took Williamson out of Duke, then the Memphis Grizzlies selected Morant out of Murray State. The dynamic young stars have played in the same NBA game just four times because of injuries, but both are expected to play when the surging Pelicans visit the slumping Grizzlies on Friday night. Williamson, who missed a 113-102 home victory against the Grizzlies on Nov. 15, returned from a bruised foot to play in the last two games. He had a season-high 32 points to go with 11 rebounds in a 129-110 victory at San Antonio on Wednesday. "Zion was a monster from start to finish," New Orleans coach Willie Green said. "Driving the ball, kicking it to his teammates, taking advantage of mismatches." The victory, the Pelicans' fifth in six games, came two nights after a 45-point thumping of the short-handed Golden State Warriors. |

11-25-22 | Cavs v. Bucks UNDER 218 | 102-117 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
After completing a 4-0 homestand, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head back on the road to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Cleveland is looking to avenge a 113-98 loss to Milwaukee on Nov. 16, when center Brook Lopez shot 7 for 9 from 3-point range and scored 29 points to lead the Bucks. The loss marked the Cavaliers' fifth straight at the time, but the team's fortunes quickly turned with wins over the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers. Donovan Mitchell scored 34 points and Jarrett Allen had a season-high 24 points and 13 rebounds in Wednesday's 114-96 victory over Portland. "Defenses have a tough decision to make on how they'll guard us," Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "A lot of times, they'll err on the side of defending Donovan, but he's a willing passer. And that's where Jarrett does a great job of finding those gaps." The Cavaliers face a tough matchup against the Bucks, who are 9-2 at home. One of the two losses came Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls, who forced 20 turnovers and withstood a late charge by the Bucks in a 118-113 victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 36 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to lead Milwaukee, while Lopez scored 20 points and Jrue Holiday had 14 points and 11 assists. DeMar DeRozan had 36 points for Chicago, which was 18 of 42 (42.9 percent) from 3-point range. |

Point guard Kyle Lowry, who played 63 of the Miami Heat's 82 games last season and appeared in just 46 of the Toronto Raptors' contests in a year prior, is suddenly an iron man. At age 36. With the Heat missing several of their top players at various points throughout the first 19 games, Lowry has logged more minutes on the young season than any other player not named Kevin Durant. Lowry, who has yet to miss a single game, is expected to be the Heat's guiding force once again on Friday night when they host the Washington Wizards. Miami beat Washington 113-105 on Wednesday. Lowry scored a season-high 28 points in 35 minutes in that game, while going 7 for 12 from the field, which included sinking 5 of 6 3-pointers. He was also a perfect 9 for 9 from the free-throw line. The Heat played without leading scorer Jimmy Butler (sore right knee), starter Max Strus (right shoulder impingement) and key reserve Duncan Robinson (sprained left ankle). |

The New York Knicks ventured out West to build their most successful road trip in more than eight years. But the tests against teams from the opposite coast will continue during the Knicks' brief stop home. The Knicks will begin a two-game homestand Friday night when they host the Portland Trail Blazers in the first meeting this season between the teams. The Knicks have been off since Monday when they concluded a five-game road trip by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 129-119. The Trail Blazers' slump continued Wednesday when they fell to the host Cleveland Cavaliers 114-96. The win over the Thunder gave the Knicks a 3-2 record on their Western Conference trek. It was the most successful road trip of five games or longer for New York since it went 3-2 on a West Coast swing in March of 2014. The victory provided a double dose of redemption for the Knicks, who were still steaming from a 145-135 loss to the Thunder at home on Nov. 13. The 145 points were the most surrendered by the Knicks under head coach Tom Thibodeau |

Michigan State quickly has gained respect with the way it has performed against top competition this season. The Spartans went from unranked to No. 12 in the latest AP poll after quality wins against then-No. 4 Kentucky and Villanova last week. It won't get any easier this holiday weekend. Michigan State will face unbeaten and No. 18 Alabama in the opener of the Phil Knight Invitational on Thursday in Portland, Ore. The winner will return Friday to face the victor of the UConn-Oregon game, which will be played on Thursday. The finals and consolation games of the tournament will be Sunday. The Spartans will get another test when they face Notre Dame in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge next Wednesday. "We can play good and go 0-3," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said of the Portland event. "This is a very, very, very, very good tournament, and so we'll see. |

11-24-22 | Florida v. Xavier UNDER 149.5 | Top | 83-90 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Xavier coach Sean Miller sees familiarities with the team's last opponent when he scans the scouting report for Thursday's matchup with Florida in the Phil Knight Legacy tournament at Portland, Ore. After giving up 30 points and six rebounds to Trayce Jackson-Davis in an 81-79 loss to Indiana, the Musketeers (3-1) now must contend with Florida's Colin Castleton. A power up front like Jackson-Davis, Castleton is averaging 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds a game for the Gators (3-1). "They do a great job of playing through him," Miller said. "He seems to be involved in almost every offensive possession, maybe a little bit more away from the basket skill-wise than a guy like Jackson-Davis but make no mistake. If you can average 25 points a game through the first three or four games, that's all you need to know." Castleton was a big force behind Florida's 76-67 comeback win at Florida State in the Gators' last outing, scoring right at his average of 25 points and just missing a double-double with nine rebounds. He accounted for 13 points as the Gators scored 33 of the first 38 points in the second half while rallying from a 17-point halftime deficit. |

Southern California's Boogie Ellis understands the significance of Thursday's semifinal against No. 22 Tennessee at the Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas. "We come out here and we win a couple games, we got a chance to make some noise," he said. "Just (relaying) to the guys that this is a really important tournament for us to make a statement." Ellis scored 27 points and Joshua Morgan and Drew Peterson posted double-doubles as the Trojans (4-1) knocked off BYU 82-76 in the first round on Wednesday. After leading 28-23 at halftime, Tennessee (3-1) dominated Butler in the second half, outscoring the Bulldogs 43-22 to cruise to a 71-45 win. The winner plays in the title game on Friday night against No. 3 Kansas (5-0) or Wisconsin (4-0). The semifinal losers meet in the third-place game on Friday afternoon. The Trojans extended their winning streak to four games by using a balanced scoring attack that included Peterson posting 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Morgan had his second straight double-double with 11 points and 10 boards. |

Just play your game. It’s that simple for the Tar Heels and they really don’t have to make it complicated. UNC is the better team in this matchup and should win this opening game. But they can’t look ahead and get too complacent on Thursday. Not letting the Pilots hang around early and instead putting them away will be a big key for them. The Tar Heels are a very talented team, as we already know, and getting off to that fast start should be something we expect. This year the Tar Heels have started off sluggish in a few games before turning it around with strong second halves to get wins. |

Golden State Warriors fans hope to see the Klay Thompson they witnessed on television last week when the defending champions open a three-day, two-game homestand with their first matchup of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. The Pacific Division rivals both were missing key players in their last outing and came away with different results. The Clippers were without Paul George (strained right hamstring) and Luke Kennard (strained right calf) when they completed a 3-0 homestand with a 121-114 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night. Norman Powell and Reggie Jackson led the way with 30 and 27 points, respectively. The Clippers also got eight points and five assists from Kawhi Leonard in just his third game since returning from nearly a month-long absence due to soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. The five-time All-Star has played no more than 25 minutes in any game during his comeback and has averaged just 8.3 points and 4.3 assists in the last three games. Despite regular lineup shuffling, the Clippers have counted upon depth to get the season off to a winning start. |

Washington aims to bounce back from a demoralizing setback when it faces Fresno State on Wednesday night in the Wooden Legacy at Anaheim, Calif. The Huskies (3-1) scored the game's first eight points but later trailed by 12 in the second half before succumbing 73-64 to visiting Cal Baptist on Thursday. "We don't want to get behind like that," Washington coach Mike Hopkins said. "We had our chances but just couldn't get over the hump." The winner of the game between the Huskies and Fresno State (1-3) will meet either Vanderbilt or Saint Mary's in Thursday night's title game. The losers will battle in the consolation game. The Huskies had Keion Brooks Jr. back on the floor versus Cal Baptist after a two-game absence due to a leg injury. The Kentucky transfer scored 20 points in his Washington debut in the season-opening win over Weber State, but had 11 on 4-of-12 shooting against Cal Baptist. "He forced it a little bit but he played his heart out," Hopkins said. Brooks' 15.5 point per game scoring average is second on the squad behind freshman Keyon Menifield, who is averaging 15.8. Menifield had eight points on 4-of-14 shooting against the Lancers after averaging 23.5 points over the previous two games. Fresno State has lost three straight contests, including Saturday's 61-52 road loss against North Texas. |

The Utah Jazz front office's decision to trade All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert in exchange for a boatload of first-round picks caused a whirlwind of reactions and emotions this offseason around NBA circles and especially in the Beehive State. The rebuilding franchise made another deal, an under-the-radar move in comparison, that stung just as much for Jazz fans. Watching Bojan Bogdanovic, a fan favorite, get traded to Detroit was a tough one for many to swallow. A night after scoring 22 points with nine rebounds to lead the Pistons to a thrilling 110-108 win at Denver, Bogdanovic will undoubtedly receive a warm welcome Wednesday night in Salt Lake City when he and his new team visit. It'll be his first trip to Utah since being sent to Motown in exchange for Kelly Olynyk, Saben Lee, and cash considerations. Bogdanovic averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists during his three seasons with the Jazz. He shot 44.7 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from 3-point territory and had many memorable moments that will live in Utah lore, including game-winning buzzer-beaters against the Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets. |

11-23-22 | Pelicans v. Spurs +7.5 | Top | 129-110 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 43 m | Show |
The Spurs will head home after a disastrous five-game trip in which they lost in San Francisco, Portland, Sacramento and in Los Angeles twice, with the average margin of defeat 23 points per game. The closest game on the trip was a 117-110 loss to the Trail Blazers. That was the only game of the five that San Antonio had all of its regular starters available. The Spurs' most recent setback was a 123-92 loss Sunday to the Lakers, who won easily despite playing without injured LeBron James. San Antonio was down by 18 at the half and then missed its first 11 shots of the third quarter to put to rest any notion of getting back in the game. Devin Vassell led San Antonio with 17 points, with Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan scoring 12 each, and Tre Jones and Josh Richardson adding 10 apiece. San Antonio, which has dropped 10 of their past 11 contests, played without Jakob Poeltl, who had been its leading scorer in two of its past three games. "We have a young team. Winning is hard in the NBA," said Gorgui Dieng, who started in Poeltl's spot. "They're learning. Whether you win or lose, just make sure you have the right habits. Tonight was a very bad game for us." Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also missed the game after falling ill beforehand. Assistant coach Brett Brown ran the team in his absence. "The end of a long road trip, five games in seven nights, is always going to be difficult," Brown said after Sunday's loss. "We're better than we played (Sunday). They have competed at a far greater level than they did tonight. We will respond. They're a prideful group." Wednesday's game will mark the first contest in a three-game homestand for San Antonio. Nine of the Spurs' next 11 contests will be at home. |

11-23-22 | Wizards +1.5 v. Heat | Top | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
The Washington Wizards have enjoyed a reversal of fortune by walking away with six wins in their last seven games, but seeing their star limp off the court is cause for concern. The Wizards begin a back-to-back series of games at the Miami Heat on Wednesday with Bradley Beal's availability in limbo due to a right quadriceps injury. "He'll be evaluated and then we will make a determination," Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. Beal sustained the injury during the final minute of the Wizards' 106-102 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. He finished the game with 26 points, one shy of his total in Washington's 107-106 overtime win over an undermanned Miami squad on Friday. Beal has missed five of his team's 17 games this season due to a stint in health and safety protocol following a positive test for COVID-19. He boasts team-leading averages in points (22.7) and assists (5.8) points while shooting a robust 51.2 percent from the floor. Kyle Kuzma recorded his fifth double-double of the season after collecting 28 points and 10 rebounds against the Hornets. He had 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists in the previous encounter versus the Heat. |

Minnesota brings a four-game winning streak into Indiana. The Timberwolves' run has combined improved offensive efficiency, with Minnesota producing two of its four highest-scoring games of the season in the streak's first two outings, and tough defense. The Timberwolves have held each of their past three opponents to less than 110 points, including limiting Miami to 101 in a four-point Minnesota win on Monday. The Heat's 101 points were the fewest the Timberwolves have surrendered in a game this season. Anthony Edwards told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that Monday was a "tough game, ugly game," but added, "It was a great win and a great team win." Monday was the lone home-game interlude for Minnesota in a stretch playing six of seven games on the road. Wednesday's visit to Indiana marks the penultimate road contest in this span, with a Friday trip to Charlotte as the last game before the Timberwolves play four of five at home. |

The Zips are 1-4 ATS this season. It was the tale of two halves on Tuesday as the Zips were up two, 35-33, at halftime versus LSU, despite shooting 31% from the field. That poor shooting wasn’t even an indication of how bad things would get in the second half as Akron hit just five field goals on 25 attempts and was outscored 40-23. Enrique Freeman, who went 7-for-8 and led the team with 18 points on Monday, shot just 1-for-6 and had three points on the day. Xavier Castenada had his third 20+ point game of the season. The senior guard had 28 points, shooting 6-for-16 and 12-for-16 from the free-throw stripe. He added six rebounds and four assists.  |

The Charlotte 49ers have been decent offensively this season as they are averaging 67.6 points while shooting a solid 47.8 percent from the floor. They have been passing the ball pretty well this season with 15 assists per game up to this point. Junior guard Brice Williams has led the way for the team as he is averaging 10 points, 4.4 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and 1.2 turnovers in 21.2 minutes per game. Their defense has been doing extremely well so far as they are allowing teams to score just 54.6 points per game against them. They are doing pretty well swiping the ball away as they are averaging 8.2 steals and three blocks. If they can figure out how to keep a body in front of the ball-handler, they can continue to be a dominant defensive program. |

No. 3 Kansas already has some nice accomplishments this season, and now the Jayhawks get their coach back and head into to a high-profile tournament. Bill Self will be on the bench for the first time this season when the Jayhawks take on North Carolina State on Wednesday in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas. NC State has made headway in its own way early this season, but the focus for this tournament opener is on the Jayhawks and Self. The coach finished a four-game suspension imposed by the university stemming from an NCAA investigation in 2017. Assistant coach Kurtis Townsend is also back from a ban that was connected to Self's suspension. Norm Roberts had filled in as acting coach. This is Self's 20th season with the Jayhawks. Even though he wasn't on the scene to start the season, this marks the ninth time since he took charge in 2003 that Kansas is off to a 4-0 start. Forward KJ Adams Jr. -- at just 6-foot-7 -- has given the Jayhawks a boost up front. It's unclear if he's locked into that starting role. |

The Rams moved to 2-3 ATS with their hit versus Tulane. Rhode Island probably played one of their better games of the season, shooting 44.3%, up from 32.7% on Monday, and they scored 46 second-half points. They also hit 9-of-19 three-pointers a day after hitting just two. Rhode Island did turn the ball over 16 times in the game and trailed by nine at halftime, 38-29. Ishmael Leggett almost single-handedly willed the Rams to victory, scoring a career-high 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting, 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. Over the final five minutes of play, he scored ten of his team's last 12 points. The sophomore guard leads the team with 20 points per game. |

Maui's rugged survival test ramps up a notch Tuesday night for No. 14 Arizona and the 17th-ranked San Diego State Aztecs in semifinal play in Lahaina, Hawaii. Arizona (4-0) advanced in the Maui Invitational with a 101-93 win over Cincinnati in the opening round on Monday. It was anything but easy despite shooting 62.3 percent from the floor, including an even-more-blistering 79.3 percent in the second half. Cincinnati brought its own Hawaiian heat. The Bearcats hit 62.9 percent from the floor in the second half -- including 68.4 percent from 3-point range -- but couldn't catch up after trailing by 10 at the half. Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said Cincinnati's "staggering number" of 3-pointers was the result of "poor defensive execution, and we're better than that. Obviously, there will be some great teaching tools from this game, but unfortunately, there's not a lot of time to learn." San Diego State (4-0) hit 47.6 percent from long range in its 88-77 win over Ohio State. Matt Bradley, who averaged 18 and 16.9 points per game the last two seasons, was at only seven per game before scoring 18 against the Buckeyes. He made 6 of 11 from the floor, including 4 of 6 from long range. |

Davis hadn't reached the 30-point mark prior to the current run but he is averaging 35 points a game during the span after outings of 37, 38 and 30 points. Davis also is averaging 17.3 rebounds during a stretch in which the Lakers are playing without LeBron James (adductor), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday and could miss his fifth consecutive game. Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham said the club will continue to be cautious with James. He sees no reason to rush things with the season not even 20 percent over. "There's no need to be in a hurry with him," Ham said. "He's going to definitely play a big bulk of games this season. It's November. |

The Grizzlies have lost their way defensively. After holding Charlotte and Washington to 99 and 97 points in the final two outings of a three-game winning streak at the beginning of the month, Memphis has watched each of its past seven opponents go for 102 or more. Two of those foes topped 120, including the Brooklyn Nets in a 127-115 home win over Memphis on Sunday. Dillon Brooks paced the short-handed Grizzlies with 31 points. Jaren Jackson Jr. joined Bane and Morant on the sidelines Sunday because he's being brought along slowly following off-season surgery on his right foot. He's expected back to face the Kings. "You take it in stride," Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said of the inconsistent lineups. "You control what you can control. We just got to rely on our depth." Memphis is 0-2 this season in games in which neither Bane nor Morant has played. Tyus Jones has started both of those games and has averaged 15 points and 5.5 assists. They will either play well defensively or get run out of the building. |

The last time the clubs met, the Grizzlies handed the Kings their fourth consecutive loss to open the season as the Grizzlies got 31 points from Desmond Bane in a 125-110 victory in Sacramento. Much has changed in the nearly four weeks since. While the Kings have won nine of 11, including six in a row, the Grizzlies are just 6-6 while losing Bane to a sprained right big toe and Ja Morant to a sprained left ankle. Sacramento's winning ways figure to get tested on a four-day trip to Memphis, Atlanta and Boston that will sandwich Thanksgiving. The winning streak has featured double-figures scoring from seven different players, including De'Aaron Fox, who has used 57.7 percent shooting to fashion a 24-point scoring average during the run. |

Coming off his best showing for the Brooklyn Nets since being traded from the 76ers, Ben Simmons heads into Tuesday's return to Philadelphia feeling good even while anticipating the reaction from 76ers' fans. "In Philly? Come on now, I know what's coming," Simmons said. "That's part of the game. Philly fans, one thing about Philly fans is they are incredible. They are diehard Philly and they are everything Philly, whatever it is. I respect that about the city. It's a sports town." Given their injury woes, Philadelphia will not be necessarily focused on the return of Simmons, who averaged 15.9 points in 275 regular-season games for them before making his last appearance with the team in Game 7 of the 2021 Eastern Conference semifinals. The 76ers will be without star Joel Embiid with a left mid-foot sprain Saturday night and will miss at least two games. Already without James Harden for another two weeks because of a strained right foot, the Sixers lost Tyrese Maxey to a broken left foot Friday, and then Embiid injured his foot Saturday after colliding with teammate Georges Niang in the second half of a 112-109 loss to the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. Tobias Harris (sore left hip), Furkan Korkmaz (knee) missed Saturday's game, and defensive specialist P.J. Tucker -- who often guards Brooklyn star Kevin Durant -- left that game due to an unspecified injury. However, it's the game after injuries where I like to grab points because replacements will be highly motivated to show what they can do. |

No. 14 Arizona has been all fun and flash while steamrolling three overmatched opponents, but the competition is about to get stiffer at the Maui Invitational starting Monday against Cincinnati in Lahaina, Hawaii. The Wildcats (3-0) set a school record for shooting percentage (71.7) in their opener against Nicholls, got a triple-double from point guard Kerr Kriisa against Southern, and established another school record Thursday against Utah Tech by making 22 of 22 free throw attempts. "I think we're good," said coach Tommy Lloyd. "We got through these first three games, and our guys are getting a feeling for how hard you need to play. The new guys are understanding that there's a level of effort and a standard that you have to meet to be an Arizona basketball player. They're starting to hit that." Cincinnati (3-1) hasn't shown the same kind of offensive prowess as Arizona and is coming off a 64-51 loss Wednesday at Northern Kentucky in which it managed only 11 points in the second half. The Bearcats shot 33.9 percent from the field. |

One month into the season, the Western Conference is up for grabs. Seven teams entered Sunday tied for the fewest losses (six), and the top 10 teams were within three games of each other. Nobody could've guessed who'd be in sole possession of first place out West, though. After impressive back-to-back wins over Phoenix and Portland, the Utah Jazz claimed the top spot with a 12-6 record heading into Monday's showdown in Los Angeles against the Clippers. After Utah traded All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert along with steady starters Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O'Neale, some might not have expected the Jazz to amass a dozen victories all season. Surprise! "We're proud of the way we've represented ourselves after 18 games," Jazz coach Will Hardy said after his team held on for a 118-113 win in Portland on Saturday. "We believe we can get better. That's our focus. Like every team, we're not a finished product yet. That doesn't mean we're (not) proud of where we are at this point, but we can't get lost in what anybody is saying about us." |

Unbeatens will collide in Hawaii when Ohio State plays No. 17 San Diego State in the Maui Invitational on Monday. For San Diego State (3-0) it will be a chance to build off a 74-62 win at Stanford on Tuesday, the Aztecs' first-ever win over the Cardinal in five tries. "We're not in a Power 5 conference but we're a Power 5 school," Aztecs coach Brian Dutcher said. "We play pretty hard against anybody we play." San Diego State of the Mountain West Conference also has defeated Cal State Fullerton and BYU. The Buckeyes (3-0) have beaten Robert Morris, Charleston Southern and Eastern Illinois by an average of 28.7 points, with the closest margin being 22 (65-43) against Eastern Illinois on Wednesday. Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann knows San Diego State is a big upgrade in opposition. "They can clearly get to the Final Four," he said. A concern for him is the ball-hawking abilities of the Aztecs, who average more than 12 steals a game. The Buckeyes have been careless, turning the ball over 15 times a game this season. |

11-21-22 | Warriors v. Pelicans -6 | 83-128 | Win | 100 | 8 h 0 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors finally won a road game. Now they'll try to make in two in a row when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. The defending NBA champion Warriors lost their first eight road games of the season before they defeated the host Houston Rockets 127-120 on Sunday night. Klay Thompson scored a season-high 41 points and Stephen Curry added 33 for Golden State. "It didn't sit well with us, our 0-8 record," Curry said. "We had to scratch and claw to get this one, so to get that monkey off your back and feel good about yourselves (away from home), it matters." Thompson made 14 of 23 field-goal attempts, including 10 of 13 3-pointers. Curry finished 11 of 20 from the field, including 7 of 14 from long distance. He added a season-high 15 assists, one less than his career high. "It feels amazing," Thompson said of his breakout performance. "I'm hard on myself, so I've been wanting one of these. It felt great for me to just let that thing fly. And to get one and kind of open the floodgates, it's only up from here. It's something for me to build on. "I finally feel like myself. My legs feel great. I'm cutting to the rim, taking great shots, and I'm just excited for what's to come. That felt amazing. I don't care if it's a mid-November game. That felt great." On Monday night, the Warriors likely will face Zion Williamson, who said he expects to be back in the lineup. |

11-21-22 | Blazers v. Bucks UNDER 214.5 | 111-119 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets an opportunity to demonstrate that his extra free throw-shooting practice will pay dividends when the Milwaukee Bucks open a four-game homestand Monday night against the Damian Lillard-less Portland Trail Blazers. The Bucks have lost four of six, including 110-102 at Philadelphia on Friday night in a visit that wound up being more headline-grabbing for what happened after the 48-minute affair had ended. Antetokounmpo had 25 points and 14 rebounds in the loss but shot poorly at the foul line for the third consecutive game, going just 4-for-15. He responded by returning to the court well after the game for additional work, only to find the arena crew already partway into its nightly routine. Antetokounmpo wound up pushing a ladder out of the way -- it crashed to the court -- to attempt to complete a 10-shot drill and found himself having to explain himself afterward following a run-in with the 76ers' Montrezl Harrell, who seized the Bucks star's basketball. Antetokounmpo got in eight of his 10 shots, then noted it's not a technical flaw that's resulted in him going 19-for-44 in his last three games. "I'm just not making them. Simple as that," he observed. "I don't think there's no issue. The ball is not going in." |

The Minnesota Timberwolves will aim to stretch their season-best winning streak to four games when they host the injury-ravaged Miami Heat on Monday night. The Timberwolves will attempt to move above .500 for the first time since Oct. 30 against a Heat squad that will be without star Jimmy Butler for the third straight game. Minnesota averaged 122.3 points while winning the final three contests of a four-game trip. The Timberwolves defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 112-109 in Saturday's excursion-ending game. The fourth quarter was shaky as Minnesota saw a 15-point lead with under nine minutes to play trimmed to one with 29.1 seconds left before holding on. "There are positives and negatives," Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said afterward. "I'm glad that we won. I really want to say that. But obviously, it's a little sour when you close the game like this." Minnesota coach Chris Finch was pleased with the escape but not with the late-game play. |

The Atlanta Hawks will try to continue their road success on Monday when they travel to Cleveland, where the Cavs have lost only once this season. Atlanta has won two of its last three road games, most recently handing Milwaukee its first home loss of the season last Monday. The Hawks are 4-3 overall on the road this season. But Cleveland is 6-1 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, their best start at home since the 2016-17 season. Atlanta is coming off a dramatic 124-122 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday in which rookie AJ Griffin got a lob pass from Trae Young and dropped in the game-winner at the buzzer. Cleveland has won two straight after Sunday's 113-87 victory over the Miami Heat. This is the first of three meetings between the two teams this season. Atlanta won three of four games against Cleveland last year and has won three in a row in the series. |

The Dallas Mavericks had so much fun playing the visiting Denver Nuggets on Friday night that they are happy to do it again on Sunday. Dallas cruised to a 28-point win in the first of two games in three days with Denver, but it comes with a bit of an asterisk. The Nuggets played without three starters, including two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, and it showed against the Mavericks. Luka Doncic notched his fourth triple-double of the season (33 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists) and the 50th of his career after sitting out a game for rest, and it looked easy for him and his teammates. Dallas led by as many as 31 against a short-handed Denver squad. "It's great. It feels amazing," Doncic said. "It's a pleasure. I'm just really glad that I'm here and doing this." It doesn't look like the Nuggets will have Jokic back for the rematch. Coach Michael Malone said Friday night Jokic will remain in health and safety protocols for the third straight game, as will Jamal Murray, who missed Friday's game. In addition to Michael Porter Jr., the only other starter with a chance to play is Aaron Gordon, who has missed the past two games with a non-COVID illness. I still think 10 points is too much to lay against Denver who will surely bring their best. |

Instead of a battle of unbeaten, a high-profile team will deal with losing a second time this season when No. 4 Kentucky visits No. 2 Gonzaga on Sunday evening at Spokane, Wash. The Wildcats (3-1) have an 86-77 double-overtime loss to Michigan State on the ledger while the Bulldogs (2-1) were routed 93-74 by No. 11 Texas on Wednesday in Austin. Sunday's game pits last year's national player of the year in Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe against fellow preseason All-American Drew Timme of the Zags. The game will be played at the Spokane Arena -- which seats more than 12,000 -- rather than Gonzaga's on-campus highly rambunctious "Kennel." No matter the venue, Gonzaga will be looking to shore up its ball-handling as it allowed 20 turnovers leading to 27 Texas points in the one-sided loss. Until they do, I'm going under the total. |

Call it a reality check or a lesson on a season's ups and downs. Michigan clobbered Pittsburgh by 31 points in the Legends Classic in New York on Wednesday. But in the championship game, the 20th-ranked Wolverines were thrashed by Arizona State, 87-62, on Thursday. The Wolverines (3-1) will play their third game in five nights when they host Ohio (1-2) on Sunday. Michigan shot 33.9 percent from the field and made just 4 of 22 3-point attempts against the unranked Sun Devils. Arizona State did whatever it wanted against the Wolverines' defense, shooting 60.4 percent and making 11 of 19 3-point tries. The Wolverines were caught flat-footed from the start, as they never led. "They looked forward to the matchup. You can just tell with the way the game started," coach Juwan Howard said. "I will say this, I didn't do a really good job of preparing our guys. I'll take full responsibility for this one. Every game is a teachable moment. When you win, you learn. When you lose, you learn. We're going to learn from this and we're going to grow from this game." In the previous game, the Wolverines shot 58.3 percent from the field and had four players in double figures. Expect the Wolverines ready to play defense in this one. |

Kyrie Irving's last appearance with the Brooklyn Nets occurred on Nov. 1 as controversy swirled around the team. His next appearance is likely Sunday night when the Nets return home from a four-game road trip to face the Memphis Grizzlies, who will be without star Ja Morant. Irving is expected to return after sitting out Brooklyn's past eight games. His last game was a four-point performance when the Nets folded in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bulls in Jacque Vaughn's head coaching debut after taking over from Steve Nash. "It's exciting for everybody. I mean we miss Ky. We miss his presence on the floor," Brooklyn star Kevin Durant said. "I haven't talked to him since we've been on the road trip about it, the last couple of days. But we're looking forward to his return to the team. Definitely going to give us a much-needed spark." Irving was the focal point of controversy for posting a link to an anti-Semitic film on Oct. 27 and was handed at least a five-game suspension when he did not apologize following a contentious media session at practice on Nov. 3. When the Nets suspended him, they stipulated Irving must complete several steps, including meeting with commissioner Adam Silver. They met last week, and Silver said he did not think Irving held anti-Semitic beliefs. |

Teams hoping to become lucky losers in the 2022 NBA Draft lottery get an opportunity to show off their consolation prizes to one another when the Detroit Pistons visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon. The Pistons and Kings both finished with bottom-seven records last season, giving each at least some optimism that luck could land them the No. 1 pick in the draft. It didn't pan out. The Kings moved up from No. 7 to No. 4, which was significantly better than the fate that befell the Pistons, who fell from co-favorite to the fifth spot. After Paolo Banchero (Orlando), Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City) and Jabari Smith Jr. (Houston) were selected, the Kings had their choice of Iowa forward Keegan Murray or Purdue guard Jaden Ivey. Sacramento chose Murray, allowing the Pistons to snatch Ivey. So far: Advantage, Pistons. While the Kings have gotten off to a much faster start in the win column, Ivey has thus far exceeded Murray in stats. |

The Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards are coming off Friday night games that had something in common, as neither was decided in regulation. From there, there were different routes. So expect the Wizards to be in a little better shape when the teams meet Sunday night in Washington. The Wizards beat the visiting Miami Heat 107-106 in overtime for their fifth victory in their last six games. The Hornets have to search for any positives, particularly after a bizarre double-overtime loss at Cleveland. Charlotte came back from 10 down in the final 45 seconds of regulation and then was in a position to win in the first overtime before ultimately suffering its 10th loss in the last 11 games. "You have to be able to handle disappointment, frustration, and success and move on," Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. "There's a lot to learn from (a game like that)." Washington's stretch of positive results began with a 108-100 victory Nov. 7 at Charlotte. |

The Rams have not been kind to wallets so far, going 0-3-1 ATS, all as favorites.  In their win over Pitt, they trailed with just two minutes remaining before regaining the lead and holding on. They shot just 33.3% from the field in the first half before cleaning things up and going 48% in the second half. The Rams also had 12 steals in the game and 43 total on the season for a 10.8 per-game average that is tied for 33rd in the country.   They’ve got a nice boost from a pair of Michigan transfers; Brandon Johns Jr. and Zeb Jackson. The duo combined for 34 points in the win over Pitt. On the season Johns leads the team with 14 points per game average, flanked by 6 rebounds per game. Jackson is averaging 8.8 points per game in 19.3 minutes of play, to go along with 1.5 steals per game.  |

"I think it's good. We got a chance to see what we have to work on," forward Armando Bacot said. "We're kind of getting exposed on the things we need to work on." North Carolina (3-0) caps a season-opening four-game homestand Sunday afternoon when James Madison (4-0) visits Chapel Hill, N.C. Even with glitches, North Carolina has survived in each game. Each time, there have been struggles, with some of those glaring in a 72-66 victory against Gardner-Webb on Tuesday night. "We've got a long way to go," guard Caleb Love said.

The Utah Jazz doesn't have much time to celebrate a thrilling 134-133 home win on Friday over the Phoenix Suns, a team that many consider to be the Western Conference favorite this season. A night after overcoming a 49-point performance by the Suns' Devin Booker, the Jazz visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night for another showdown with a team atop the early conference standings. The winner between the Blazers (10-5) and the Jazz (11-6) will own the best record in the West, for whatever that's worth at this point in the season. That's especially surprising, considering the two teams are winning at a higher rate than expected. As noted by The Oregonian, the Blazers' over/under for wins was 40.5 coming into the season. Utah, which traded away Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, had much lower outside expectations, including an over/under of 23.5 victories. Utah's chances of winning will be much greater if Lauri Markkanen, the surprising team's surprising All-Star candidate, has another outing like the one he produced Friday when he scored a career-high 38 points. |

Wendell Carter Jr. led Orlando with 21 points, and Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner scored 20 apiece. Bol Bol added 15 points and 10 rebounds as the Magic snapped a two-game skid. Orlando sits near the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 5-11 record, but the team has registered notable victories over the Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. The Friday victory over Chicago marked another step forward for the Magic, who led by 19 in the third quarter before falling behind in the final minute.

The Toronto Raptors hope to get an encore performance from O.G. Anunoby when they travel to play the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Raptors have dominated the series over the last two seasons. Toronto won three of the four meetings a year ago and scored a 139-109 win over Atlanta on Oct. 31 in their first encounter of the season when the Hawks committed a season-worst 18 turnovers. Anunoby scored a career-high 32 points and matched his season high with 10 rebounds in Toronto's 112-104 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The Raptors have won two straight. Atlanta followed its emotional win over Milwaukee with a poor performance in a 126-101 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Atlanta has won five of its last eight, the losses coming against Philadelphia, Utah and Boston. Anunoby was 13 for 18 from the field against Miami and is averaging 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds. "He wanted the ball, he controlled it, he made moves, he made pass-outs, all the stuff you have to do when you're the go-to-guy," Toronto coach Nick Nurse said. The Raptors should also have a healthy Fred VanVleet on Saturday. He returned on Wednesday after missing two games with the flu and scored 23, even though he wasn't at full strength. |

The New York Knicks shoot for a hat trick when they go for a third road victory in four days as they visit one of the league's top home teams, the Golden State Warriors, on Friday night at San Francisco. The Knicks took advantage of the absence of reigning MVP Nikola Jokic for a 106-103 road victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The win completed a two-night sweep that began with a 118-111 triumph over the host Utah Jazz on Tuesday. A fourth-quarter comeback that produced the club's first win in Denver since 2006 was accomplished with the unusual combination of a Julius Randle-Obi Toppin frontcourt to complement a three-guard look. It worked against the Jokic-less Nuggets. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, still expected to be missing starting big man Mitchell Robinson, indicated he could go back to the look again against the Warriors, who demoted James Wiseman to the G League this week and left the team with Kevon Looney and an assortment of small-ball options. |

11-18-22 | Campbell +4 v. Appalachian State | 63-58 | Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
The Mountaineers have been impressive to start the season but there is still one aspect of their game that needs to be addressed and that's whether can we rely on them at home. This number is a little suspect. |

11-18-22 | Bucknell v. Georgia -12 | 61-65 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
The Bulldogs survived a second half surge from Miami (OH) on Monday night to improve to 2-1 on the season. A strong rebounding performance from Forward KyeRon Lindsay (which included his first career double-double) aided Georgia to a 7 point victory. Georgia will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time this season under 1st year head coach Mike White. Bucknell is also 2-1 and coming off a tough 82-71 loss to the St. Peters Peacocks on Tuesday night. The Bison played a fairly mistake free game. However, St. Peter's near 48% shooting from behind the arc and 22 point performance from Sophomore guard Jaylen Murray proved too much to handle. |

The Tigers currently have a record of 2-1 and an unfavorable 0-3 against the spread. One defeat came by a two-point margin against South Carolina.

The Knights have been terrific against the number but tonight is when Clemson flexes their muscles.  |

The Air Force Falcons will stay at home another game and welcome the Portland Pilots at 9 p.m. ET Nov. 17 at Clune Arena.
