11-23-22 | Clippers +9 v. Warriors | Top | 107-124 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 40 m | Show |
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. |

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. |

11-23-22 | Wolves v. Pacers | Top | 115-101 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
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. |

11-22-22 | Lakers +10.5 v. Suns | Top | 105-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
Anthony Davis is enjoying his best stretch of the season and the Los Angeles Lakers aim to extend their season-long winning streak to four games Tuesday night when they visit the Phoenix Suns. 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. |

11-22-22 | Pistons v. Nuggets -5.5 | Top | 110-108 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
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. |

11-22-22 | Kings +1.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 113-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
The last team to see the "old" Sacramento Kings will become the 12th to experience the new-and-improved edition when the Western Conference's hottest team visits the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. 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. |

11-22-22 | Nets v. 76ers +8 | Top | 106-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
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. |

11-21-22 | Heat v. Wolves -8.5 | Top | 101-105 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
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. |

11-19-22 | Jazz v. Blazers -3.5 | Top | 118-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
The Blazers have their own All-Star who can light up the scoreboard on any night. Damian Lillard had 25 points and 11 assists in Portland's most recent outing, a tough 109-107 loss to the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. It was Lillard's third double-double in a row. "I thought tonight we just didn't do enough," Lillard said after the Blazers lost to the Nets on a last-second tip-in by Royce O'Neale. "They played harder than us in situations and they made the plays that we didn't. Portland turns it around tonight |

11-19-22 | Raptors v. Hawks -5 | Top | 122-124 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
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. |

11-16-22 | Pacers v. Hornets -2.5 | Top | 125-113 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
Finally emerging from a long losing streak, the Charlotte Hornets will host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night hoping to get rolling in the right direction. "We've easily had stretches where we've had very good, sometimes exceptional play, and then we have times (when) we don't execute," Charlotte coach Steve Clifford said. "We're not that kind of team. We can be very good, but we can't give possessions away. We don't have that much room for error." The Hornets returned from three games in Florida with their first victory in November to snap an eight-game losing streak, their longest skid since 2019 and one shy of a wrong-way stretch of November 2014. That's among the positive aspects they'll take into the game with Indiana. It will be the home debut for point guard LaMelo Ball, something that's bound to bring a buzz to the arena. |

11-10-22 | Blazers v. Pelicans -6.5 | Top | 106-95 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 24 m | Show |
The Portland Trail Blazers are in the midst of a very successful road trip, while the New Orleans Pelicans are just glad to be back home for the first time six days. The Blazers are off to a 3-1 start on their six-game trip and will look to improve upon that mark when they visit the Pelicans on Thursday night. Damian Lillard overcame a sluggish start to score 26 points, making six 3-pointers, in a 105-95 victory at Charlotte on Wednesday night. Portland played without 7-foot center Jusuf Nurkic (adductor) and 6-foot-8 forward Jerami Grant (ankle). "Not having them out there makes us pretty small," Lillard said. "That puts us in a position where we might be vulnerable against a team that is always crashing the boards. So they hurt us with that. But we never stopped competing." |

11-07-22 | Cavs v. Clippers +4 | Top | 117-119 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show |
On an eight-game winning streak with consecutive victories on their current road swing, the Cleveland Cavaliers will return to the same building Monday when they pay a visit to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavs pulled off an impressive 114-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday afternoon when Donovan Mitchell scored 33 points and put a charge in Cleveland's dominating second half. The Cavs held the Lakers to 36 second-half points and won after trailing 80-77 with just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Cleveland's 17-0 run that extended nearly two minutes into the fourth quarter was the difference. "That wasn't who we are," Mitchell said on the Bally Sports Cleveland broadcast about a six-point halftime deficit. "It's never going to be perfect. That's going to happen, but it's how you respond through adversity. ... Coming out the way we did to start the fourth, that's big time." Mitchell now has 251 total points this season and became the third player with at least 250 points in eight games for his new team, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Wilt Chamberlain (317 points) with the Philadelphia Warriors and Kyrie Irving (255) with the Brooklyn Nets also accomplished the feat. Daruis Garland had 24 points for Cleveland, while Jarrett Allen (16 points, 11 rebounds) and Kevin Love (10 points, 10 rebounds) each had a double-double. Garland (knee) and Mitchell (ankle) each played after not taking the court Friday in a victory at Detroit. The Cavs are in a stretch where they play six of seven games on the road and visit Sacramento and Golden State once they leave Los Angeles. |

11-07-22 | Blazers v. Heat -7.5 | Top | 110-107 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
The Miami Heat have played two straight games without their leading scorer, Jimmy Butler, who has been absent due to a sore left hip. The Portland Trail Blazers have played four straight games without their leading scorer, Damian Lillard, due to strained right calf. Even worse for the Trail Blazers, they've played two straight games without starting guard Anfernee Simons, who has left foot inflammation. The Blazers and Heat will hope to welcome back these important pieces on Monday when Portland visits Miami. Lillard, who is averaging 31.0 points, was upgraded to questionable for Monday. Simons, who is second on the Blazers in scoring (22.0) and third in assists (3.9), is doubtful. Butler, who leads Miami in points (21.5) and ranks second in assists (5.5) and rebounds (6.4), could also be back on Monday after the Heat didn't list him on their injury report. The Heat, who are set to start a four-game homestand, are coming off a two-point loss at the Indiana Pacers. |

11-07-22 | Suns v. 76ers +2.5 | Top | 88-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
Injuries and illness have hampered the Philadelphia 76ers through the first 10 games, although their most important player is on the mend. Joel Embiid, who has been sidelined with a non-COVID illness for three straight games, is close to a return as the Sixers get set to play host to the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Fellow Philadelphia star James Harden is out for at least one month with a strained tendon in his foot. For the Sixers to rebound after a 4-6 start, Embiid's return is vital. "I was 50/50 watching him at shootaround," Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said Saturday after a 106-104 loss to the New York Knicks. "I thought he was really struggling. He went through like 25 percent of shootarounds. You can see he wasn't feeling great, showed up, went out on the floor, got shots, and just felt bad. |

10-30-22 | Magic v. Mavs -9 | Top | 105-114 | Push | 0 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
Rookie Paolo Banchero has received plenty of fanfare by scoring at least 20 points in each of his first six games to begin his NBA career. Banchero also has shown that he's willing to distribute the basketball following his season-high seven-assist performance in the Orlando Magic's 113-93 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. The top overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft will look to fill the box score yet again on Sunday when the Magic visit Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Banchero, 19, collected 21 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Magic to their first win of the season on Friday. He is averaging 23.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks this season. His 141 points over the first six games of his NBA career trail only Hall of Fame member Shaquille O'Neal for the most in franchise history. |

10-30-22 | Warriors -6 v. Pistons | Top | 114-128 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
The optimism surrounding the Detroit Pistons entering this season has been tempered by an early five-game losing streak. In order to end the slide, they'll have to defeat the defending champions. Detroit hosts Golden State on Sunday and will need to shore up its porous defense to have any chance of pulling an upset. The Pistons were defeated twice at home by Atlanta this week, getting blitzed by guard Trae Young and his teammates. Young scored 35 points in the Hawks' 118-113 victory on Wednesday, then erupted for 36 points and 12 assists in just three quarters on Friday as Atlanta rolled to a 136-112 triumph. Coach Dwane Casey questioned his team's defensive pride after the latest loss. "They shot almost 57 percent and that's just a sign of lack of commitment," he said. "We have to make up our minds that teams aren't going to walk in and do whatever they want to us." A big night for franchise player Cade Cunningham was wasted in the process. Despite foul trouble, Cunningham scored a career-best 35 points and also contributed nine rebounds and eight assists. However, his teammates shot 36.5 percent from the field. |

10-21-22 | Pistons v. Knicks -7 | Top | 106-130 | Win | 100 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
For Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey, a comeback from a double-digit deficit Wednesday provided some much-needed optimism in the midst of an extended rebuild. For the New York Knicks, their attempt to overcome a double-digit deficit offered another hard-earned lesson about the narrow margins between happiness and disappointment under coach Tom Thibodeau. The Pistons will look to build off their recent rally on Friday night when they visit New York for the Knicks' home opener. Both teams were off Thursday after back-and-forth season openers Wednesday night. The Pistons outlasted the visiting Orlando Magic, 113-109, while the Knicks fell to the host Memphis Grizzlies, 115-112, in overtime. The Pistons, who finished with the third-worst record (23-59) in the NBA last season while missing the playoffs for the third straight time and the 11th time in 13 years, got off to a slow start Wednesday, when the Magic raced out to a 21-6 lead. But the Pistons led 57-55 at the half and led by as many as 12 in the third quarter before fending off a comeback by the Magic, who tied the game at 99-99 with 5:17 left. Detroit scored the next seven points and finally finished off Orlando when Isaiah Stewart drained a 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining to extend the lead to 111-107. |

The Jazz have now failed to cover 8 of the last 9 meetings against Dallas and 4 of 5 in Dallas. They are also 1-9 ATS playing on one days rest and 6-19-1 ATS on the road. I'm not going all in with Dallas minus the points but I am going to lay the moneyline price here because I think it's going to be close. |

The Jazz hasn't had a lot of success against the Clippers in Las Angeles but again we have to snuff out the lines that are trying to tell you something. Utah isn't a great spread team but they have been extremely good when coming off rest of three days or more, covering 23 of 30. |

The Bulls have had their way with the Wizards but this number has me perplexed, as I thought it would be larger. The Bulls seem to play up to their level of competition and I think that's what we're going to see here. Washington has covered 4 of their last 5 home games. |

The Charlotte defense is a polar opposite to its offense as the Hornets are 28th in the NBA in points allowed at 114.9 points per game. Charlotte is allowing opponents to shoot 46.4% overall and 35.7% from behind the three-point line. Too many points for team that can't play defense. |

The Denver nuggets come into this one failing to cover their last two games but overall they've won 12 of their last 14 games, and now the bookmakers are giving us points who have failed to cover 10 of their last 13. One of those covers was against the Nuggets getting 8 points. This is a true oversight and we're taking full advantage. |

No movement on this number and I expect it to stay that way. I think the Heat is going to win this game but 8.5 is too much for me. It makes me feel as if the bookmakers are begging you to take the Heat who have covered 5 straight. The Suns have covered 8 of 11 road games and despite this looking like an easy Heat winner, I'm taking the generous points. |

We're getting a good number on this as the public has jumped on Detroit. |

03-07-22 | Warriors +9.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 124-131 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
The Warriors have failed to cover 10 of their last 11 games, with a push, while Denver has covered two straight and three straight when the number is under single digits. Denver has been bumped up a little from it's opening number of 9.5, that's too rich for my blood, especially with Denver who are just 30-33-1 ATS this season. |

This is another chance to jump on teams playing teams that are going to start tanking down the stretch. Utah has covered 4 straight games in Houston and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 following a SU win. The Rockets are 0-6 ATS playing their second of back-to-back games. |

The Celtics thumped the Nets with contributions that came from most of the active roster. Jayson Tatum led the way with 30 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Jaylen Brown added 18 points and six boards. When Tatum and Brown are playing at a high level, they are a difficult team to stop. The Celtics have been able to turn their misfortunes around over the last month. If Marcus Smart is able to help Tatum and Brown as the team’s third option, he will cause problems for the Pistons. |

After reaching the postseason last year, the New York Knicks were supposed to kick on and build from there. But that hasn't been the case this season as a string of poor performances has had folks questioning whether last year's exploits were a fluke. Kemba Walker's acquisition over the summer brought a lot of hype to the organization but has provided the Knicks with nothing in terms of performances as Walker has been called out for his defensive frailties. Veteran teammate Julius Randle has also come under immense scrutiny this season while another veteran player in Derrick Rose continues to be plagued by injuries. |

When the 76ers visited the Kings on Nov. 22, the severely shorthanded Sixers took a 102-94 victory, despite missing Embiid, Harris, Seth Curry, and Danny Green. So now that they are much healthier, there's no way the Kings stay within the number. |

The Heat and Clippers meet for the second and final matchup this season. Earlier this season, the Clippers recorded a, 112-109, win in Los Angeles on 11/11. Miami now looks to snap a team-long six-game losing streak to the Clippers. For the Heat, Markieff Morris (protocols), Kyle Lowry (personal reasons) and Victor Oladipo are out. |

Phoenix now stands at 37-9 overall, though it is still just 25-21 against the spread. While the Suns have taken out plenty of quality opponents this season, the most recent run may leave them slightly overvalued here. The Suns have covered four times over this seven-game winning streak but have failed to do so in the past two. The most recent game came against this same Jazz side, when they won by six in a game in which they were 12.5-point favorites. |

Last Friday night, the Heat defeated the Hawks for the second time in 48 hours. However, something was noticeably different in the home/away series. Last Wednesday, the Heat destroyed the Hawks 115-91 in their first matchup of the week (and the fans let the Hawks hear about it). Although the Hawks dropped the second game 124-118, their hustle and intensity were markedly better. Since that time, the Hawks are 2-1 with two consecutive home wins. For the first time since November, this team is showing signs of life. What's most interesting is they are accomplishing this without Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic. |

On Monday, we told you that Golden State's Steph Curry was now the clear favorite to win a third-career NBA regular-season MVP Award thanks to the injury suffered by former favorite Kevin Durant, and Curry will play Tuesday night in what appears to be a major mismatch against the visiting Detroit Pistons after sitting out Sunday. The Dubs remain without Draymond Green but are still 15-point favorites. I think the books are trying to coerce you to bet the Pistons, but we won't fall for that. |

After briefly climbing back over .500 with Saturday's 117-108 win at Atlanta, New York trailed by as many as 23 and absorbed a 97-87 loss to the Hornets that snapped a five-game home winning streak. The Knicks were doomed by a poor start as they allowed the game's first seven points and trailed by 18 at halftime before allowing 35 points in the second half. They also had no answers for Charlotte's Miles Bridges, who scored 38 points, and shot a dreadful 11 of 21 from the free-throw line. I think the Wolves are in a better spot right now. |

Since that Pistons game, the Spurs have won just two of its last 11 contests. The Spurs’ most-used starting lineup of Murray, White, Keldon Johnson, Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl hasn’t played together since the win over the Lakers on Dec. 23. San Antonio is getting close to being back to 100%, though. All of its starters are out of COVID health and safety protocols. Tread lightly because this number does cause me to pause. |

The Denver Nuggets will take on the Utah Jazz tonight in hopes of beating them for the first time this season. The two teams faced off twice this season and Utah has scored 115+ points in each matchup. While the Nugget offense has struggled frequently this season, that has not been the case against the Jazz. They scored 110 in the first matchup and 109 points in the second. |

One game after setting a season-high in scoring in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento forward Marvin Bagley III did it again Friday against the Houston Rockets, producing his fourth double-double with 26 points and 13 rebounds in a 126-114 win at home. Bagley was instrumental in the Kings' victory and if Sacramento is to complete a sweep of its back-to-back against the Rockets, with the second game slated for Sunday at Sacramento, the Kings will need more of the production he has delivered of late. I think they win this one easy. |

Those small-ball deficiencies were on full display Wednesday, as the Lakers’ weak point-of-attack defense caused them to give up 70 points in the paint to the Kings, the most they had given up in any game this season. This has been a trend this week, as they gave up 62 points in the paint to the Grizzlies on Sunday, their third-highest mark of the year. Until that changes, I can't back them to cash a ticket. |

Atlanta gave up a seven-point fourth-quarter lead and dropped a 124-118 decision to the Miami Heat on Friday. The Hawks have lost four in a row and eight of their last 10.

Oklahoma City’s defense has impressed at times throughout the season (especially as of late) but is still vulnerable when it comes to defending beyond the arc. Opponents have attempted 40.8 percent of their total shot attempts from deep against the Thunder, the third-highest frequency in the league. Even more damaging for Oklahoma City’s defense is that teams have connected on 36.3 percent of those attempts, a top-10 percentage in the league. After a slow start from downtown to begin the season, the Nuggets come on in recent weeks and are up to 34.6 percent from beyond the arc on the year. 3-point attempts have accounted for 38.2 percent of Denver’s total shot attempts, a frequency near the top 10 of the league. |

Phoenix has won seven of its last 10, led by its deep and balanced roster. During this most recent stretch, the Suns have eight different players averaging double figures. Devin Booker is playing to form, averaging more than 24 points per game. Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton remain a lethal pick and roll combo. Monty Williams has scored in the post and on the perimeter on his bench as well. If that wasn’t enough to deal with, the Suns are as good as anyone in the NBA at stopping teams from scoring. |

The Portland Trailblazers may be just what the doctor ordered for the Los Angeles Lakers. With both teams struggling, it's the Blazers that seem the most lost against the oppositions big men.

Minnesota fell to the New York Knicks in the second game of a back-to-back on Tuesday, 96-88. The loss marked the first time in 20 games the Timberwolves failed to reach 100 points. Guard Malik Beasley led the Wolves with 20 points, but the team struggled to connect from the floor all game, going 7-of-38 from the three-point line in the loss. The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are in the midst of a five-game winning streak. Utah defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 120-105 on Wednesday led by center Rudy Gobert's 22 points and 14 rebounds. This season, the Jazz have won both meetings to date versus Minnesota, including a 128-116 victory over the Wolves on Dec. 23 in Utah. |

The Portland Trail Blazers have their backs firmly against the wall. They are losing games at an alarming rate and with head coach Chauncey Billups and seven players out due to the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, things could become much worse before they get better for the Blazers. Portland lost its 11th game in 14 outings Monday night, 132-117 to Dallas at home. The Blazers (13-20) entered Tuesday night in 11th place in the Western Conference and appear to be a lot closer to capturing a top-five pick in the 2022 NBA draft than they do a top-six seed in the NBA playoffs. |

The Nuggets remain one of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA on a night-to-night basis. They can hang with the league’s top teams one night before getting blown out by teams that will be picking in the top five next summer in the draft. After the starters were carrying the bench for the first month and a half of the season, the bench has been doing the heavy lifting as of late to keep the team in games. The stars need to start carrying their weight again. |

As of Monday, the Knicks were in decent shape, with only three players — C Nerlens Noel, G Miles McBride and F Jericho Sims — in the league's health and safety protocols. Sims, a Minneapolis native who played at Texas, was in 10 NBA games before going into protocols Thursday. I know the Wolves were terrific against the Celtics with their entire starting line-up out but reality hits them hard tonight. |

While the Trail Blazers have struggled with defense, the Grizzlies definitely have not. It’s a tough matchup for Portland when their opponents are good defenders, which is going to be an issue with Memphis. The Blazers are going to need to find ways around it, and also play good defense of their own. I think that's too much to ask in this one. |

On that occasion, the Heat beat the Pistons 100-92 with a great performance from Tyler Herro who converted 31 points for Miami. The objectives of each team are quite different: it is clear that with 4-23 they cannot aspire to great things this season and it will be better if they continue with their tanking plan. On the side of the Miami Heat, they have a great opportunity against a weak team to add a victory that would put them on the same line as the Bucks, today 3rd in the Conference. |

The Golden State Warriors plane will not show up in New York until five hours before tip-off. We see the public react in the only they have for decades, by betting against the team having all the problems. That's not how we're going to attack this. The Warriors are a better team and the bench may be utilized more which is fine because guys want to get noticed when they get more minutes, and you do that by scoring. Wait because you'll likely get a better number closer to gametime |

Monday night’s game opens what will be Washington’s longest stretch of consecutive road games this season – a six-game trip comprised of matchups with Denver, Sacramento, Phoenix, Utah, Brooklyn and New York. The road has presented a challenge for the Wizards this season. They’ve gone 7-8 in their first 15 road games compared to 8-4 at Capital One Arena, but are looking at the trip as an opportunity at a time when they need a spark. Nikola Jokic, the NBA’s reigning Most Valuable Player, is coming off a dominant performance Friday night in San Antonio and is playing some of his best basketball of his career. Against the Spurs, Jokic totaled 35 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists and a pair of blocks – making if three of the last five games he’s scored at least 32 points. Jokic has recorded double-digit rebounds in each of his last nine games and a triple-double in three of his last four. |

Frank Vogel and the team made a notable pre-game adjustment prior to the Celtics game, starting Anthony Davis at center. Dwight Howard left the starting lineup (after only being in it one game) while Avery Bradley re-entered the lineup after missing two games due to a thumb injury. The lineup proved to be extremely successful for the team, even if it got off to a rough start at the beginning of the game (a rough start that was mostly due to Jayson Tatum shooting lights out with 14 points in the first four minutes of the game). As is to be expected, AD starting at the five ended up improving the team’s spacing dramatically, leading to the offense getting to the rim all night. This resulted in the Lakers outscoring the Celtics 66-42 in the paint. |

The Jazz have found some rhythm having won each of their last five games as they continue to stake their claim as a force in the West. Featuring outstanding displays by Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, the Jazz will attempt to make up for the losses they faced earlier in the season. The win against the Timberwolves saw a balanced performance from their key players. Rudy Gobert registered a double-double and Jordan Clarkson managed 18 points off the bench. The Jazz also saw Donovan Mitchell lead the scoring effort with 36 points. |

The basketball world’s 2-year reprieve from the dominance of the Golden State Warriors appears to have reached its conclusion early on in the 2021-2022 campaign. After nearly sneaking into the playoffs last season as the lower seed no one wants to play against when April rolls around, they”ve come back with a few tweaks. Last year’s success was largely built on one of the league’s best defenses (a top 5 unit) and the ridiculous offensive prowess of scoring champion Stephen Curry, who went on a tear after the All Star Break. That prowess was able to cover up a lot of Golden State’s deficiencies on the offensive end, where they finished just 20th in offensive rating. This year, the defense is just as good, while the offense is once again humming at the level fan’s became accustomed to during their 5-year dominance over the Western Conference. At 19-3, they have the make-up of a team that can make a deep run in the playoffs. |

This time, Erick Spoelstra’s team will be without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo for their encounter with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Memphis Grizzlies are entering an important stretch beginning Thursday — no, I’m not talking about more games without Ja Morant, I’m talking about December. During the 12th month of the year, the Grizzlies play 14 of their 16 games against Western Conference teams. That means this month is huge as far as positioning in the conference. In the team’s first two games without Ja, it’s been so far so good. The team is 2-0 after picking up a nice win on the road in Toronto on Tuesday night. If the Grizz are going to stay afloat while their superstar is on the shelf, then they have to beat the teams they are better than. I know that should go without saying, but we have seen the Grizzlies underachieve against teams they are more talented then. |

Philadelphia has defeated the Wolves in eight consecutive meetings, now narrowly leading the all-time series 31-29. There is optimism Joel Embiid can return to the team. He has missed nine games in a row after testing positive for COVID-19. He has not played since Nov. 6 in a win over the Chicago Bulls, and the Sixers have missed their star big man. The return of Embiid would do so much for Philadelphia, and it would help young guard Tyrese Maxey get the Sixers moving in the right direction again. |

11-11-21 | Heat v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 17 h 16 m | Show |
Ty Lue’s Clippers will look to break down Miami’s defense in ways they’ve broken down other teams. Luke Kennard and Nicolas Batum will aim to light it up from beyond the arc; they have helped the Clippers sit at fourth in the league for three-pointers made per game. When their threes start falling and space starts to open up, the Clippers will have more than enough weapons to play havoc with the Heat. Batum and Terance Mann have been reliable secondary offensive threats when they find space near the rim and finish with exhilarating dunks or, in the case of Mann, revitalizing and-ones. Let’s not forget George, who has been doing it all for the Clippers regardless of the number of defenders on him. |

11-04-21 | Celtics v. Heat -7 | Top | 95-78 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
Miami will look to Tyler Herro to continue scoring off the bench. The 21-year old seems to have the hot hand after recording his third consecutive 20+ point outing in the Heat's most recent game. Doing an absolute number on the second unit of most teams. Herro is making a strong case as a candidate for the Most Improved Player award early in the season. The Miami Heat may also see some significant minutes from Dewayne Dedmon and Markieff Morris to support their superstar big man. |

11-03-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Cavs | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
The Cavaliers won’t pose the same challenges that Philadelphia and Charlotte have on this trip. They have two of the best offenses in basketball. Cleveland, on the other hand, sits at 20th in the NBA in offensive rating (104.5) and 22nd in true shooting percentage (53.6%), and they will be without Kevin Love. |

10-31-21 | Jazz v. Bucks +1 | Top | 107-95 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 44 m | Show |
Giannis Antetokounmpo has continued his torrid pace after hoisting the NBA title last season. The Greek Legend is averaging 27.6 points, 11 rebounds, and an impressive 6.6 dimes so far this season. He had a phenomenal game vs. the T-Wolves with 40 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and three triples two days ago. It's the fourth time Antetokounmpo has recorded at least 40 points, 15 boards, and five assists in a game, tying him with Larry Bird for the second-most such games -- Russell Westbrook has the most with five. |

10-30-21 | Magic v. Pistons -5 | Top | 103-110 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The rebuilding Magic come into this matchup losing four of their first five games to start the season. They’ve been struggling immensely on the defensive end, which was expected with their young backcourt. They currently rank last in the NBA in defensive and net rating through five games. Rookie Jalen Suggs, who had eight points and five assists against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, is shooting 29% (18 for 63) after five games. It’s going to take the rookie some time learning the ropes at the point guard position, which is always a long curve for new players. Forward Chuma Okeke (hip), G Michael Carter-Williams (ankle), and G E'Twaun Moore (knee) have yet to play in the regular season, though none of the injuries is considered long-term. Getting healthy and rebuilding their core is key for them this season and in the coming years. |

10-28-21 | Jazz -9 v. Rockets | Top | 122-91 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
The Utah Jazz has regained their dominance in the league. So far, they’ve won all three of their games by an average of 14 points. Their biggest win came in last game against the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP, had an injury scare in the first half and did not play in the second. After coach Mike Malone advised his talisman to leave the court, this happened. The game featured 30 lead changes and 12 ties, but the Jazz ultimately won. Rudy Gobert is averaging 18.7 points and a ridiculous 19 rebounds per game thus far, but his block average is only 0.7 per game. Jordan Clarkson is proving his worth as the league’s best bench player, averaging 17.3 points on a 50% effective field goal percentage. Mike Conley was a big part of the Utah Jazz’s playoff push in 2021, and he’s back to full strength now. He’s averaging 14.0 points per game on 44 percent three-point shooting. |

10-27-21 | Wizards v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
Washington will have their work cut out for them with the Celtics, who have won their last two games. First, they’ll have to slow down Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who combined for 71 points in their Monday night game against the Hornets. Another player to keep an eye on is Dennis Schröder. The guard seems to be finding his way on his new team and his recent performances are proof of progress being made. Last game, Schröder put up a season-high 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics will certainly have the Wizards moving fast to the backcourt so lets see if their legs are ready. |

10-26-21 | Nuggets v. Jazz -7 | Top | 110-122 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show |

10-23-21 | Pistons v. Bulls -8 | Top | 82-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
The Chicago Bulls have completely revamped their roster around shooting guard Zach LaVine. Looking at last season, he averaged 27.4 points, five rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 35.1 minutes per game. He shot the ball well and should get better looks now as he shot 50.7 percent from the floor, 41.9 percent from three-point range, and 84.9 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Detroit Pistons, he played 35 minutes and had 34 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block. If LaVine can figure out how to be a team player and be content with less touches, this team has the potential to be special. |

10-20-21 | Celtics +2 v. Knicks | Top | 134-138 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics have a solid team behind small forward Jayson Tatum. Looking at his numbers from last season, he finished with 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game in 35.8 minutes. Tatum needs to shoot a little better as he finished shooting 45.9 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 86.8 percent from the charity stripe. He’s going to need to step up even more as they are trying to remain competitive in the East without as much help. |
