Saturday's Top Action
Tom Wilkinson

Everyone has just assumed that the Golden State Warriors will win the Western Conference and roll to another NBA title. If you look at the current standings you might be surprised to see that Golden State is just barely in front of Denver for the best record in the West.

The Warriors have looked vulnerable lately and they face a difficult road test at the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night in a game that can be seen on ABC. Let?s look at Saturday?s game and NBA picks.

Golden State Warriors at Philadelphia 76ers
Date and Time: Saturday, March 2, 2019, 8:30 p.m. ET
Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
NBA Odds: TBA
Warriors vs. 76ers TV Coverage: ABC

The Warriors are wrapping up a four-game road trip on Saturday night. Golden State started with a win in Charlotte, but then they were shocked by Dwyane Wade and the Heat on Wednesday. Golden State then had to face the Orlando Magic on Thursday. The Warriors are just 14-16 ATS on the road, with 19 games going over and 11 going under. They are averaging 118.9 points per game but giving up just over 112 per contest. Stephen Curry leads the team in scoring at just over 27 points per game.

Golden State is not in a great spot on Saturday, as this will be their third game in four days, but at least they did have Friday off. Golden State is without a doubt the best team in the NBA but their intensity level has been very inconsistent lately. The Warriors realize they are the best team in the NBA and they don?t always give a full effort for 48 minutes.

Philadelphia has the looks of a team that can compete with Golden State, but only if they are healthy. The 76ers have been without All-Star center Joel Embiid of late and his status for Saturday is up in the air. It was thought he would be ready for this game, but we haven?t had any recent updates. His backup, Boban Marjanovic is also injured. Embiid has been rehabbing his sore left knee, while Marjanovic has a bone bruise and a sprained right knee. He will not play on Saturday.

Philadelphia is 16-16 ATS at home this season, with 17 games going over the total and 15 going under. They are averaging 115.7 points per game and giving up just over 112 per contest.

Key Stats

Philadelphia broke a 10-game losing streak against Golden State by winning 113-104 in January. The 76ers were 8-point road underdogs in that contest that easily went under the total. The 76ers are 7-3 ATS in the last ten meetings against the Warriors and seven of the ten went under the total. The teams have split their last ten games in Philadelphia, but the 76ers have been an excellent bet, going 9-1 ATS. Six of those ten went under the total.

Saturday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Warriors at 76ers ? 8:30 PM EST

Golden State (43-19 SU, 25-36-1 ATS) finishes off its four-game road trip which started with promise in Monday?s victory at Charlotte. However, the Warriors fell at the buzzer on Wednesday in Miami, followed by a late meltdown at Orlando the next night.

Kevin Durant didn?t suit up on Thursday, as the Warriors overcame an eight-point halftime deficit by outscoring the Magic, 30-11 in the third quarter. Orlando cruised past the two-time defending champions in the fourth quarter, 33-15 to shock the Warriors, 103-96. Steve Kerr?s squad shot 9-of-40 from three-point range, while getting held to its lowest point total since scoring 93 in a 20-point home loss to Toronto in December.

Now, Golden State will try to salvage the trip in Philadelphia against a 76ers? (40-22 SU, 29-33 ATS) that snapped a 19-game losing streak to Oklahoma City dating back to 2008 in Thursday?s 108-104 road triumph. Philadelphia completed a perfect 2-0 road trip after beating New Orleans on the first stop, as the Sixers built an 11-point halftime edge before OKC made it interesting in the final minute. Tobias Harris paced Philadelphia with 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting, while drilling 5-of-7 three-point attempts.

The Warriors have covered only once in their last nine games, while losing consecutive road contests for the first time since late November/early December at Toronto and Detroit. Philadelphia halted a 10-game slide to Golden State on January 31 at Oracle Arena in a 113-104 victory as eight-point underdogs. The game easily finished UNDER the total of 240 ?, as the two teams combined for 36 fourth quarter points. Stephen Curry lit up the Sixers from downtown by knocking down 10 three-pointers and scored 41 points in Golden State?s first loss to Philadelphia since 2013.

Third Time Around

The Thunder and Spurs have gone through plenty of playoff battles that have gone both team?s ways. Oklahoma City (38-23 SU, 33-28 ATS) dropped its third consecutive game in Thursday?s 108-104 setback to Philadelphia. The Thunder played without leading scorer Paul George, who missed only his second contest of the season due to a sore right shoulder. Russell Westbrook posted another triple-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, but the former MVP shot 8-of-24 from the floor, including hitting only 1-of-9 attempts from three-point range.

San Antonio (34-29 SU, 33-29-1 ATS) rebounded from a dreadful rodeo road trip in which it finished 1-7 as the Spurs took care of the Pistons at home, 105-93 as 4 ?-point favorites on Wednesday. The Spurs held their first opponent to below 100 points since limiting Memphis to 96 points on January 9 as Gregg Popovich?s squad allowed Detroit to shoot 36% from the floor. Six Spurs scored in double-figures in Wednesday, led by 24 points from LaMarcus Aldridge as San Antonio improved to 23-7 at AT&T Center.

OKC has failed to cash in five straight games, while finishing UNDER the total in the last three games with totals of 240, 238, and 239. The Thunder and Spurs eclipsed the OVER in each of the first two matchups, including in a 154-147 double-overtime setback at San Antonio on January 10 as Oklahoma City erased a 12-point deficit to force the game past regulation. Aldridge torched the Thunder for 56 points that night, while converting 20 field goals and 16 free throws.

The Thunder captured the second matchup two nights later at Chesapeake Energy Arena, 122-112 as six-point favorites. OKC overcame a nine-point halftime deficit to outscore San Antonio, 71-52 in the second half, while marking the ninth win by the home team in the last 10 meetings.

Deer Crossing

The Bucks (48-14 SU, 36-23-3 ATS) continue a five-game road swing in Utah as Milwaukee heads to Salt Lake City following Friday?s victory against the Lakers in Los Angeles. Milwaukee won in the first two stops at Chicago and Sacramento, as the Bucks edged the Kings in overtime on Wednesday, 141-140 in spite of blowing a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Jazz (35-26 SU, 32-27-2 ATS) seek their fourth consecutive win after holding off the Nuggets on Thursday, 111-104 to cash as 7 ?-point underdogs. Not only did the Jazz snap a five-game skid at Pepsi Center, but Utah improved to 6-5 SU and 5-6 ATS with no rest this season. Utah overcame a slow start as the Jazz outscored the Nuggets, 33-15 in the second quarter to grab control, while picking up its first road win since January 27 at Minnesota.

Milwaukee pulled away from Utah in its first matchup at Fiserv Forum on January 7 as five-point favorites in a 114-102 win. The Bucks outscored the Jazz, 31-16 in the fourth quarter, while Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a 30-point, 10-rebound performance in the victory for Milwaukee. The Jazz have had their way with the Bucks in Salt Lake City over the years by winning 16 consecutive home meetings, while Milwaukee has cracked the 100-point mark only once in this stretch, which came last season.

Long Hike

The Nuggets (42-19 SU, 33-28 ATS) dropped only their fifth home game in 32 tries at Pepsi Center in Thursday?s flat effort in a 111-104 setback to Utah. Denver had won five consecutive contests prior to that loss, but the Nuggets still hold the top spot in the Northwest division, while suffering their first loss as a home favorite since November 13 against Houston.

Denver welcomes in New Orleans, as the Pelicans (28-36 SU, 31-32-1 ATS) ended a brief two-game skid by beating the hapless Suns, 130-116 on Friday. The Pelicans shared the scoring load as Julius Randle led New Orleans with 22 points, while Jrue Holiday posted 21 points and Anthony Davis scored 17 points in 21 minutes of action. New Orleans picked up its fourth road win in the last nine tries, while the Pelicans grabbed their third straight victory in the role of a favorite.

Now, the Pelicans are flipped to a heavy underdog, but that has not affected this team negatively. New Orleans has stepped up to the plate by covering in six of seven opportunities as an underdog of eight points or more. Denver has captured two of the first three matchups this season with New Orleans, but the Pelicans have managed to cover in all three games as an underdog.

Sunday?s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday??

13) 12-2pm:

? Kansas 72, Oklahoma State 67? OSU is 3-13 in Big X; bit of a red flag for Kansas.
? Florida State 78, NC State 73? Wolfpack still has work to do to make NCAAs.

12) 2-4pm:
? Tennessee 71, Kentucky 52? Worst game Wildcats played since November.
? Texas 86, Iowa State 69? Cyclones are stumbling, losing four of last six games.
? Wofford 85, Samford 64? Terriers could be in NCAAs even if they lose in SoCon tourney.

11) 4-6pm:
? Central Florida 69, Houston 64? Cougars? first loss since January 9th.
? St Bonaventure 64, George Washington 58? Bonnies have won six in a row.

9) 8-10pm
? Georgetown 77, Seton Hall 71, 2OT? This game was fun to watch, but fact of matter is that neither team is very good. Teams combined to make 9-50 3-point shots. 9 for 50.
? Utah State 81, Nevada 76? Aggies are going to win the Mountain West; they were picked 9th in the preseason poll.
? Cincinnati 71, Memphis 69? Chippy, physical game; Bearcats? PG Jenifer got tossed after leaving the bench after a scuffle almost broke out.

? Elon (+5.5) 86, Towson State 66

6) Conference tournaments start Monday, when the Atlantic Sun event tips off; Lipscomb and Liberty tied for first place during the regular season, so if someone other than those two wins this tournament, it?ll be off to Dayton for a play-in game.

Three tournaments start on Tuesday:
5) Radford and Campbell tied for first in the Big South, with Gardner-Webb and Winthrop a couple games behind. Last four years, four different schools won this tournament.

4) Horizon League has dipped a lot since Butler/Valparaiso left; Wright State and Northern Kentucky tied for regular season title- home team won both meetings this season.

3) Patriot League tourney looks like a 3-horse race between Colgate, Bucknell, Lehigh; Bucknell won this tournament the last two years.

2) Shortest guy that started for the Milwaukee Bucks last night was 6-8 Khris Middleton; other four guys are 6-11, 6-10, 6-10, 7-0. Someone on Twitter posted that the last time there was a taller lineup than this was in 2002, when the Dallas Mavericks had 7-6 Shawn Bradley, Raef LaFrentz, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and (surprisingly) Steve Nash.

1) There was an incident after the Nevada-Utah State game; Nevada?s Jordan Caroline was VERY upset about something that happened after the game, and police had to keep him away from whomever he was mad at in the bowels of the arena. Not sure if a fan grabbed him or one of the Utah State staff said something to him, but he was very, very unhappy.

Sunday's Essentials

Game of the Night - Memphis at Oklahoma City (-9, 219), 7:05 ET, NBATV

The Grizzlies remain in last place in the Southwest Division, but it has become clear that they?re going to be one team you?re not going to want to play over the season?s final five weeks. On paper, squaring off against a team with no realistic shot at the playoffs is ideal in a league where over two-thirds of the teams remain in pursuit of a postseason berth, but new-look Memphis simply isn?t going to be any fun to play.

For starters, noted on-ball pest Avery Bradley, one of basketball?s top perimeter defenders, is now on board. He?s picked up his level offensively too, scoring in double-figures in six of eight contests since arriving from the Clippers in a deal that landed L.A. JaMychal Green and Garrett Temple. He?s averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists since arriving, shooting 16-for-37 (43 percent) from 3-point range and still defends at an extremely high level.

Jonas Valanciunas, the centerpiece in the deal that sent Marc Gasol to Toronto, has averaged 18.8 points and 9.7 rebounds since arriving. The 20 points and 10 boards he racked up over 28 minutes in Memphis 111-81 win in Dallas on Saturday night gave him his fourth double-double in six games since joining the team. Since he hadn?t played since Dec. 12 due to thumb surgery, he?s extremely fresh and has been dominant. Joakim Noah, who was waived by New York in a cost-cutting move, started playing in December but needed a few months to get into a rhythm and has been exceptional over the past six weeks, truly shining with more minutes available now that Gasol is gone and prized rookie Jaren Jackson, Jr. is sitting with a quad injury. Over his last eight games, he?s averaged 13.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.4 blocks despite playing 30 minutes only twice. He?s playing with an infectious energy and has provided reminders over how he was once one of basketball?s top defenders.

Delon Wright, an aggressive defender in his own right, was also targeted by the Grizzlies in the Gasol deal. Together with Bradley and starting point guard Mike Conley, the Griz now have tenacious guards who will make life miserable for opposing ball handlers out of habit, which is why neither Russell Westbrook or backup Dennis Schroder can be looking forward to bouncing back from a disappointing loss in San Antonio by seeing those guys arrive in Oklahoma City on the second night of a back-to-back for both.

Oklahoma City surrendered 38 first-quarter points against the Spurs on Saturday, losing 116-102 in a game that was never really close. While defense was the issue early, scoring just 15 in the third quarter ultimately doomed the Thunder to their fourth consecutive loss, matching their longest losing streak of the season. It?s easy to forget OKC opened 0-4. It will be a little more difficult to overlook them losing their fifth in a row if they come up empty tonight. Given the demands of the Western Conference, a skid can mean the difference between homecourt advantage in the first round and a much more difficult journey.

MVP candidate Paul George is dealing with a sore shoulder and has missed the last two games. Head coach Billy Donovan said Saturday that he doesn?t expect his small forward to participate in today?s home game against Memphis. Schroder has replaced him in the starting lineup and Abdel Nader and the newly acquired Markieff Morris have received increased minutes as a result. Schroder, a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, has shot less than 31 percent from the field, which includes shooting just 6-for-29 from 3-point range. He couldn?t have picked a worse time to slump.

The Thunder and Grizzlies will get together one last time late this month and have only played once this season. OKC held Conley to 4-for-15 shooting on the heels of Memphis dealing Gasol to Toronto and won 117-95. Noah didn?t play and Jackson, Jr., who won?t play tonight, led the Grizzlies with 27 points. This will be a much different team for the Thunder to deal with. Conversely, George led the way with 27 points while Westbrook finished with 15 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists.

Guard Justin Holiday hurt his knee early in the win in Dallas and never returned, so he?s unlikely to participate. Jackson, Jr. and Kyle Anderson (shoulder), are also out.

Memphis is 2-7 SU and ATS on the second night of a back-to-back, while Oklahoma City has won five of eight outright in this situation, covering the number in four of those games. The Thunder have defeated the Griz eight straight times and have won seven in a row at home against them.

The ?under? has connected in seven of the last nine Oklahoma City games and has prevailed in the Grizzlies? last three contests.

Best of the Rest

Portland at Charlotte, 1:05 p.m. ET: The Trail Blazers are putting a lot of pressure on all the teams struggling out of the All-Star break, entering Sunday?s action as the No. 4 seed in the West. They?ll get new backup center Enes Kanter back after he chose not to make the trip into Canada due to political pressure from the current regime in his native Turkey, so his ?migraine? won?t be an issue in Charlotte. Evan Turner, who is dealing with a knee issue, is listed as questionable. Portland had its five-game winning streak snapped by Kawhi Leonard?s buzzer-beater in Friday night?s 119-117 Raptors? win, but has now covered in six consecutive games. The Hornets snapped a season-worst three-game losing streak by trouncing the Nets in Brooklyn 123-112 but are still just 3-7 over their last 10 games. The Blazers won 127-96 in the only meeting between these teams back on Jan. 11 behind C.J. McCollum?s 30 points. The ?over? has prevailed in five of the last six contests involving Charlotte.

Houston at Boston, 3:35 p.m. ET, ABC: The Celtics snapped a season-long four-game winning streak by dumping the Wizards 107-96 on Friday night, taking advantage of a cold shooting night from the visitors. This will be their final home game until March 14 as a four-game West Coast road trip awaits this coming week against Golden State, Sacramento and both Staples Center residents. The Rockets come off a dramatic 121-118 comeback win over the Heat in Miami behind a 58-point, 10-assist game from James Harden, who was incredible in helping his team rally from a 21-point deficit. Houston is a season-best 12 games over .500 and is looking to sweep Boston after posting a 127-113 win over the Celtics on Dec. 27 in a game where they posted a 55-37 rebound advantage, led by 19 from Clint Capela. Harden scored 45 points to fuel the win. Eric Gordon, who missed the win over Miami, is expected to return from a knee issue, while backup forward Kenneth Faried (hip) has also been upgraded to probable. Gerald Green (illness) is questionable, while wing defender Iman Shumpert, who has been trying to overcome by a calf injury, is doubtful to play.

Toronto at Detroit, 6:05 p.m. ET: Detroit?s Dwane Casey will face the Raptors for the second time after being fired despite winning Coach of the Year honors last season and can only hope for a similar outcome as the first meeting, which was undoubtedly more emotional than this one will be. The Pistons got him a 106-104 win over former assistant Nick Nurse in Toronto in the only scheduled matchup between these neighbors to be played in Canada. Blake Griffin led the way with 30 points and will look to help Detroit get the better of the Raptors? formidable frontcourt, which has led the team to victories in nine of the last 10 games. If the playoffs were to start today, this would be the East?s 2-7 matchup, adding to the intrigue here. The ?over? has prevailed in seven of eight games involving Detroit.

******************************************

Monday?s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend??

13) I don?t understand why an NFL prospect would go to the Combine but not work out; what do you have to lose? Letting teams see what you can do should only help your standing. Only thing could be if you?re got a minor injury, but lot of these kids skip working out for no reason at all.

12) Portland Trailblazers? star Damian Lillard once bought undrafted rookie Luis Montero $5,000 worth of dress clothes so that in games where Montero was inactive, he?d look professional while sitting on the bench.

Thats what a team leader does.

11) Did Bryce Harper really turn down a 4-year, $45M a year deal from the Dodgers?

Say he took it, then four years from now, he?d need a 9-year, $200M deal to wind up with the same money he is making now (not accounting for higher California taxes).

Could you imagine how salty football players would be if a baseball player got $45M a year, with every penny guaranteed?

10) With news that Todd Gurley may have arthritis in his left knee that was operated on in 2014, former NFL safety Will Blackmon was on Twitter this weekend explaining how guys get arthritis in their knees after they?ve had surgery, and it bothers them thru the rest of their careers, even though those players won?t be listed on injury reports. Was interesting to listen to.

9) Clippers 128, Knicks 107? This game was 82-46. At HALFTIME.

8) Creighton 66, Marquette 60? Little different than the 108-104 OT game in first meeting, but apparently the Bluejays match up well with Marquette, seeing how Creighton is 2-0 against the Golden Eagles, but only 5-9 against the rest of the Big East.

7) Iona won its last seven games to claim the MAAC regular season title; four teams tied for 2nd place a game behind- 10-8 Monmouth finished 6th. Hawks were 1-12 in their pre-conference schedule, then went 10-8 in the league, which tells us the league isn?t very good.

6) Washington 62, Stanford 61? Huskies survived Stanford?s upset bid, but shaky weekend for them, with a loss to lowly Cal, then this. Washington?s resume isn?t great, even though they?re 23-6 (1-4 vs top 100 teams out of conference)

5) There is a high school gym in New Castle, Indiana that seats 9,325 people; I?m not sure my high school gym back in the day could?ve seated 932 people, though they have a nicer gym here now.

4) Golfer Keith Mitchell won the Honda Classic for his first PGA Tour win in his 40th career start. Thats life-changing stuff for the 27-year old; a two-year exemption, plus lot of FedEx points and invites to more prestigious events.

3) Rockets 115, Celtics 104- Boston lost five of its last six games and plays Golden State next.

2) There is an old saying ?When one door closes, another one opens?; sometimes that second door is the better one. Take the case of Bucks? coach Mike Budenholzer.

Budenholzer coached the Atlanta Hawks for the last five years, going 213-197, but after a dismal season LY, the Hawks let him go, and Milwaukee hired him.

Coaching Giannis Antetokounmpo has turned out to be a good gig; Budenholzer?s Bucks are 48-14, the first team to clinch a playoff spot this year, and five years of obscurity in Atlanta seems like a long time ago.

1) Speaking of the Hawks??.

Bulls 168, Hawks 161, 4OT? When Trae Young scored 49 points and handed out 16 assists in the Hawks? 4-OT marathon loss Friday night, he became the first rookie since Earl Monroe in 1968 to score 49+ points and have 10+ assists in the same game.

Monday's Essentials

Game of the Night - L.A. Clippers at L.A. Lakers (-4, 237), 10:35 ET, NBATV

Mathematically, the Lakers still have a chance to make the playoffs. Realistically, they are done.

After coming up empty in a weekend back-to-back that saw it lose at home to the Bucks and on the road to the horrible Suns, Los Angeles opens the first full week of March behind San Antonio by 4.5 games for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Spurs hold the head-to-head tiebreaker too.

Their Staples Center roommates, the Clippers, are five games up on them, currently running seventh. If the Lakers beat them tonight, you?ll hear all about how they had to have the victory and hopefully it?s the beginning of a huge, season-salvaging run, but their team has already blown multiple ?must-win? games and shouldn?t be counted on.

Since the All-Star break ended, the Lakers have lost ?must-win? games in New Orleans, Memphis and Phoenix, teams already looking forward to next season. L.A. has surrendered 118.7 points per game in those losses and has been atrocious defensively, missing rotations and allowing teams to find a rhythm with their poor execution on that side of the ball night after night. The Lakers have dropped eight of 11 and are 9-17 since Jan. 1 and just blew a game that, at least on paper, looked like the only gimme on a difficult schedule the rest of the way.

Following tonight?s matchup with the Clips, the Nuggets and Celtics will come through town. Next week will see the Lakers leave town for their second-longest road trip of the season, a five-gamer that includes stops in Toronto, Detroit and Milwaukee in which they?ll be underdogs. Their April schedule features five games against teams that would all make the playoffs if they started today, including a home date with the Warriors that comes early enough that they?re unlikely to be resting players.

At the All-Star break, Las Vegas? Westgate Superbook had ?no? at -140 on whether the Lakers would be able to reach the postseason in LeBron James? first season, offering a modest return of +120 if you were still a believer. Last Tuesday morning, ?no? went off at -400 and ?yes? went off at a return rate of 3-to-1 following their upset loss in Memphis. After Saturday?s ridiculous setback against the Suns, ?no? went off at -900 and anyone that still has blind faith in the Lakers can now get +600 if they correctly back an unlikely resurgence.

When the Lakers ultimately miss the playoffs, you?ll be able to point to setbacks against the Hawks, Knicks, Cavs, Wizards and Pelicans as to why. They?ve lost to the Grizzlies and Magic twice. They?ve dug their own grave by simply not respecting teams.

After wrapping up a 127-101 win over the Warriors despite losing James to a groin strain in the third quarter of its Christmas day blowout victory, L.A. was a healthy 20-14, on track to surpass its projected win total set at 48 by the Westgate Superbook that now looks destined to be won by naysayers who bet the ?under.? The Lakers went 6-12 without James as he missed 17 games between Dec. 27 and Jan. 29 and an additional game against the Warriors on Feb. 2.

Although a lot has been made over much of the team's young core being rubbed the wrong way by the Lakers making them available to New Orleans via trade, Brandon Ingram has averaged nearly 28 points and 7.5 rebounds since the All-Star break and Kyle Kuzma has averaged over 17 points per game. L.A.'s problems lie much deeper than hurt feelings. Its pieces simply haven't fit together well.

They?ve missed point guard Lonzo Ball, who has been out with an ankle injury since Jan. 21 and is hoping to join the team for the start of next week?s road trip. Despite the unfortunate attrition, no one is feeling sorry for the Lakers. Outside of their fans, no one is shedding tears over the misfortune the same franchise that tried to strong-arm the Pelicans into trading them Anthony Davis has had to deal with. Know who else has had a few rough patches? The Clippers.

Jerry West traded leading scorer Tobias Harris to the 76ers and elite perimeter defender Avery Bradley to the Grizzlies in order to free up a pair of maximum-salary slots in an effort to try and recruit Kawhi Leonard and another elite free agent this offseason, essentially pulling the plug on realistically contending for a postseason berth. The Clips are 6-4 since making those deals. Owner Steve Ballmer is now rooting on a playoff push, and his young team is responding.

Landry Shamet, a rookie shooter who was part of the Harris deal that also landed multiple future first-round picks, nailed seven 3-pointers in Sunday?s 128-107 win over the Knicks. Fellow rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is shooting 60 percent over the last three games, averaging 14.3 points per game. A second unit featuring scoring guard Lou Williams and big man Montrezl Harrell continues to dominate fourth quarters. Although they?re in an underdog role against the Lakers tonight, the Clippers began an eight-game run at Staples Center yesterday that has them in town until March 22, further strengthening their position as a likely playoff team.

The Clippers lost 123-120 in their last game against the Lakers on Jan. 30, falling despite the presence of Harris as LeBron returned to the Lakers? lineup with 24 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists. They won the first meeting between the teams on Dec. 28, taking advantage of James? absence. The Clippers have covered the spread in six of their past seven games. Conversely, the Lakers are on a 1-7 ATS run. Due in part to their porous defense, the ?over? has prevailed in four of their last five games.

Best of the Rest

Miami at Atlanta, 7:35 p.m. ET: With the Hornets and Magic losing on Sunday, the Heat can pull into a three-way first-place tie in the Southeast Division if they avoid a season sweep at the hands of the last-place Hawks. Despite its place in the standings, Atlanta has become increasingly dangerous due to the play of point guard Trae Young, who was named the Eastern Conference?s Rookie of the Month for February after averaging 23.3 points and 9.3 assists. Over his last six games, he?s averaged 30.3 points and 9.5 assists, numbers that would be even higher if he hadn?t been ejected for taunting Kris Dunn in the third quarter of Sunday?s 123-118 win in Chicago. He?s made 26 of his 51 3-point attempts since the break. Young has shot 44 percent from 3-point range against Miami, averaging 20 points and nine assists in their three wins. Second-year forward John Collins, one of the East?s most productive forwards, has missed the past few games with the flu and is listed as questionable. Starting small forward Taurean Prince is away from the Hawks on paternity leave and Omari Spellman is out for weeks after suffering an ankle injury on Friday, so the frontcourt will again be shorthanded. Alex Len, Dewayne Dedmon and DeAndre Bembry will play major roles if Collins remains out. Miami lists center Hassan Whiteside (hip) and point guard Goran Dragic (calf) as questionable. The ?over? is on a 4-1 run over the past five Heat games and has prevailed in the last three involving Atlanta.

Denver at San Antonio, 8:35 p.m. ET: The Nuggets have dropped consecutive games and are beginning a three-game road trip that also features games against the Lakers and Warriors, so a lot of eyes will be on them this week. They had won five straight prior to this lull, which featured upset home losses to the Jazz and Pelicans, the latter coming despite not having to deal with Anthony Davis. Denver got off to a fast start and then squandered a 19-point lead against New Orleans. All-Star center Nikola Jokic has wrestled with foul trouble in consecutive games, so expect him to be less aggressive to ensure he stays out on the floor here. San Antonio is wrapping up a three-game homestand after a dreadful Rodeo road trip and is looking for its third straight win after handily taking down the Pistons and Thunder. The Spurs have won six straight at home and are favored in the third meeting of the season against Denver. Both teams have won on their home floor. San Antonio has dominated the Nuggets at the AT&T Center, winning 12 consecutive matchups. The ?under? has cashed in five straight Denver games.

New Orleans at Utah, 9:05 p.m. ET: Anthony Davis may or may not play in tonight?s visit to Salt Lake City as it appears the Pelicans are far more engaged as a unit when he doesn?t play. Davis didn?t participate in the first meeting between these teams, a 132-111 Jazz win way back on Oct. 27. Donovan Mitchell comes off a career-high 46-point night in Saturday?s 115-111 win over the Bucks and has averaged 33 points over his past five games. Utah is on a four-game winning streak and has won five straight at home, part of an 8-1 run in Salt Lake City. They?ll play the Pelicans again in New Orleans on Wednesday. The ?over? is on a 5-2 run in Pels? games.
