Monday's NBA Essentials
December 18, 2017


Game of the Night - Portland at Minnesota, (FS North, 8:05 ET)

After opening a five-game road trip with a 111-104 loss in Oakland against the Warriors, the Trail Blazers won three games in four nights against the Heat, Magic and Hornets before arriving in Minneapolis for an opportunity to head back home with the Northwest Division lead. They?ve regained the services of center Jusuf Nurkic and are the healthiest they?ve been all season, setting up a great opportunity to salvage a month that opened with four straight losses and looked like it could be disastrous given the trip East.

Since Portland has a four-day break between games on Dec. 23 at the Lakers and Dec. 28 against the 76ers, the team can really settle in for a festive holiday if it continues its strong play this week in games against Minnesota, San Antonio, Denver and L.A.

Tonight?s game against the Timberwolves had no line as of early this morning due to the status of star wing Jimmy Butler, who is listed as questionable with a back issue. If he?s able to be cleared, we?re likely looking at Minnesota being favored by 4-to-6 points despite coming off a puzzling loss to Phoenix where they were done in by G-League import Isaiah Canaan.

Butler was in visible pain against the Suns, leaving for the locker room before returning for the finish, where he was angered by a lack of consistency on the defensive end that contributed greatly to an upset as a 12-point favorite.

This game will close out a five-game homestand for the Timberwolves on which they?ve gone 2-2, dropping games against the 76ers and Suns in which they were shredded while clamping down to defeat the Mavs and Kings. Considering those two entered Monday with a combined record of 17-42, firmly entrenched as two of the bottom three out West, one can hardly say that Minnesota has been playing well. Philadelphia is the only team it has faced with a winning record all month until tonight?s encounter with Portland.

The Blazers had a five-game run of holding opponents to 95 or fewer points this time last month and will be looking to pull that off four a fourth straight time on this trip. In addition to steady backcourt with Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum performing well, Portland has gotten strong contributions from glue guys like forwards Al-Farouq Aminu, Evan Turner, Ed Davis and Noah Vonleh.

Nurkic?s return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain saw him grab 11 rebounds while adding two blocks in Orlando and he played 25 minutes the next night, banging with Dwight Howard in Charlotte, so the team is confident he?s healthy. Meyers Leonard went from starting at center in his absence to joining Mo Harkless in slipping out of the frontcourt rotation as younger guys Jake Layman and Zach Collins have begun getting run, so a healthy spirit of competition has produced results.

The opposite can be said about the Timberwolves, where criticism over head coach Tom Thibodeau?s doling out of minutes have been a central theme all month. Butler, who shot 5-for-18 against Phoenix, had played 40 or more minutes in December?s first six games before that streak ended last Thursday. He played 37 minutes despite Saturday night?s discomfort. Forward Taj Gibson has played 40 in two of the last three, which has given Gorgui Dieng less opportunities to play his way into a rhythm. He?s made five of his last 17 shots as his time has been cut.

Reserve guard Jamal Crawford has made no secret of his frustration over playing less than 18 minutes per night and blames the lack of game reps on a current run that has seen him shoot 4-for-17, which includes going 1-for-9 from 3-point range. Despite an impressive 14-6 conference mark and a first-place standing, all is not exactly peachy in Minnesota.

Portland, sporting an impressive 9-5 road mark that ranks fifth-best in the NBA behind heavyweights Houston (12-1), Golden State (13-3), Boston (12-4) and Cleveland (10-4), will attempt to take advantage in the first meeting between these Northwest rivals this season. Hopefully Butler can play without limitations, as his inclusion would give us a first glimpse at how these teams intend to match up against one another.

If Butler is out, look for this game to be closer to a pick?em, since the Timberwolves are 0-2 when he?s been missing from the lineup, falling 130-107 to Indiana and 122-101 to Detroit. Even with him in the mix, Minnesota ranks 25th in defensive rating, which you know is keeping Tom Thibodeau without sleep.

Portland ranks fourth, surrendering 101.5 points per 100 possessions, which is certainly a surprise considering head coach Terry Stotts is considered an offensive guru. The ?under? has prevailed in four straight Blazers games and is now 21-8 for the season thanks to a run nine n a row from Nov. 5-22.

The Trail Blazers won three of four games in the season series against Minnesota in each of the last two seasons and have won 32 of the last 39 meetings over the past decade, taking 16 straight from 2007-12.

Injury Concerns


New York pulled off an impressive 111-96 win over Oklahoma City on Saturday night without Kristaps Porzingis (knee), spoiling Carmelo Anthony's return to Madison Square Garden. Michael Beasley filled in and scored 30 points to spoil his friend's big night as seven Knicks managed to score at least nine points. With Tim Hardaway, Jr. (leg) also sidelined, Doug McDermott and Ron Baker got in the mix and combined to shoot 6-for-9 from 3-point range. Hardaway is likely still out at least another week with a stress injury, but Porzingis, who tweaked the knee against the Nets, is listed as questionable to return against Charlotte. New York is 1-4 when the Unicorn is absent, but on the bright side, is on a winning streak without him.

Hassan Whiteside remains out with a knee injury for Miami, who has also lost key forward James Johnson for a few weeks due to an ankle issue. Justise Winslow (knee) will travel but s also unlikely to play against the Hawks, which means more playing time is in store for newcomer Kelly Olynyk and young big men Bam Adebayo and Jordan Mickey against the Hawks. Atlanta got back promising rookie John Collins late last week, but remains without starting center Dewayne Dedmon and stretch-four Mike Muscala.

The Thunder have a winning record without center Steven Adams this season, but all you have to do is watch to see how vital he is to everything they do. OKC may have to make due without him against Denver's collection of big men if he doesn't clear protocol, but haven't ruled him out officially yet. Dakari Johnson started for him against New York. Defensive catalyst Andre Roberson returned to the Thunder over the weekend.

The Nuggets got Nikola Jokic back in the fold after missing more than two weeks due to a severe ankle sprain and can add him to a frontcourt that has seen Trey Lyles emerge as an offensive weapon in his absence. Both small forward Will Barton and shooting guard Gary Harris surpassed Jokic for the team scoring lead in his absence. Backup guard Emmanuel Mudiay is questionable vs. OKC.

Houston survived a double-OT test against the Bucks 115-111 on Thursday night to earn their 13th straight win, but won without center Clint Capela, who comes into the week leading the NBA in both field goal percentage and defensive rating. He's questionable against the Jazz with a bruised left heel, while James Harden is expected to play through knee soreness.

The Jazz have been cursed by injuries all season and saw Rudy Gobert lost until mid-January after suffering a Grade 1 MCL sprain and a bone bruise in his tibia after fellow big man Derrick Favors accidentally rolled into his knee on Friday. Favors is listed as questionable against the Rockets due to an eye injury.

Draymond Green will miss another game for Golden State due to a lingering shoulder issue, but Nick Young is expected to play against his ex-mates with the Lakers after clearing concussion protocol. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who was absent against Cleveland due to a legal order that prohibits him from leaving the state of California, is expected back in the starting lineup for L.A.

Golden State is already without starters Steph Curry (ankle) and Zaza Pachulia (shoulder) in addition to Green, and will also be without key reserve Shaun Livingston (knee). Despite all the attrition, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson have done the heavy lifting as the defending champs roll into Staples on an eight-game winning streak. This will be the Warriors' last road game until Jan. 3, as they'll be at Oracle Arena for the next seven games, highlighted by the Christmas Day clash with the Cavs.

NBA roundup: Rozier's basket lifts Celtics over Pacers
December 19, 2017


INDIANAPOLIS -- A Terry Rozier steal and go-ahead layup with 1.2 seconds remaining gave the Boston Celtics a wild win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.

Boston gave up a 19-point lead to the Pacers late in the fourth quarter, but a furious late rally was capped by Rozier's steal and game-winner, giving the Celtics a 112-111 victory.

Kyrie Irving led the Celtics with 30 points. Al Horford flirted with a triple-double, scoring 14 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out nine assists. Jayson Tatum chipped in 16 points and Marcus Smart added 15.

Indiana was paced by Victor Oladipo's 38 points, 30 of which came after halftime. Domantas Sabonis scored 18 points off the bench. Center Myles Turner had a season-low 2 points.

Hitting their first 10 shots from the floor, the Celtics led into the game's final minutes.

Rockets 120, Jazz 99

HOUSTON -- Eric Gordon hit a career-high seven 3-pointers and carried Houston over Utah.

Gordon finished with 33 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter. With the Jazz leading 91-83, Gordon drilled three consecutive 3-pointers to spark a 15-0 run that ultimately lifted the Rockets to their 14th consecutive victory.

James Harden chipped in 26 points, six rebounds and six assists while Chris Paul finished a rebound shy of a triple-double with 18 points, nine boards and 10 assists.

Rodney Hood paced Utah with 26 points but scored just two in the fourth quarter. Joe Ingles added 17 points while Joe Johnson tallied 12.

Timberwolves 108, Trail Blazers 107


MINNEAPOLIS -- Jimmy Butler hit a pair of free throws with 2.5 seconds left and Damian Lillard's 3-point shot at the buzzer was off the mark as Minnesota came from behind to beat Portland.

Butler scored 37 points for Minnesota, which finished a five-game homestand 3-2 after the comeback. Jamal Crawford had a season-high 23 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter, off the bench for the Wolves. Karl-Anthony Towns had 16 points and eight rebounds for Minnesota.

Lillard fell two rebounds shy of his first career triple-double after posting 17 points and 13 assists. Jusuf Nurkic and C.J. McCollum each scored 20 points for Portland, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.

Hornets 109, Knicks 91

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Frank Kaminsky came off the bench to score 24 points and Charlotte snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over short-handed New York.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Marvin Williams scored 12, and Dwight Howard finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Hornets raced to a 25-point lead in the first half.

New York, which had a four-game winning streak snapped, was without leading scorer Kristaps Porzingis for the second straight game because of a sore left knee. Michael Beasley led the Knicks with 23 points.

Bulls 117, 76ers 115


CHICAGO -- Nikola Mirotic and Kris Dunn each scored 22 points as Chicago rallied from a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Philadelphia for its sixth straight win.

Chicago also got 20 points from Justin Holiday, 12 from Bobby Portis and 10 apiece from Denzel Valentine and Lauri Markkanen. Mirotic grabbed 13 rebounds, and Portis pulled down 10.

Dario Saric led Philadelphia with 27 points, Ben Simmons scored 19 and Richaun Holmes added 14. J.J. Redick scored 12 points for the 76ers.

Hawks 110, Heat 104


ATLANTA -- Taurean Price tied his career high with 24 points, Dennis Schroder scored 23 and Atlanta defeated injury-ravaged Miami.

The Heat cut a 14-point Atlanta lead down to a point with just over a minute left, but Kent Bazemore (16 points) made two decisive baskets at crunch time as the Hawks held on.

Josh Richardson had 26 points for the Heat, who had only nine players available, and Dion Waiters scored 23 despite missing the morning shootaround because of a stomach virus.

Thunder 95, Nuggets 94

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook hit one of two free throws, and Denver missed a last-second shot as the Oklahoma City Thunder came back for the win.

The Nuggets had a chance to win after Westbrook's free throw, but Gary Harris's desperation shot at the buzzer was wide.

Westbrook scored a season-high 38 points on 16-of-28 shooting. Westbrook hadn't shot better than 50 percent from the field since Oct. 27.

Harris led the Nuggets with 17 points.

Spurs 109, Clippers 91


SAN ANTONIO -- LaMarcus Aldridge scored a workmanlike 19 points and Tony Parker added 16 as the San Antonio cruised to a win over injury-depleted Los Angeles.

Los Angeles cut the San Antonio lead to 67-65 on a 3-pointer by Jamil Wilson with 5:33 to play in the third quarter but the Spurs responded by scoring 18 of the final 23 points in the period and taking an 85-70 advantage to the fourth quarter.

Jamil Wilson and DeAndre Jordan scored 13 points each to lead the Clippers.

Suns 97, Mavericks 91

DALLAS -- Newly acquired point guard Isaiah Canaan scored 11 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to lead Phoenix Suns back from a double-digit deficit en route to a win over Dallas.

TJ Warren, who finished with a team-high 19 points, made three of four free throws in the final five seconds to seal the victory.

Harris Barnes led five Mavericks in double figures with 26 points.

NBA notebook: Knicks' Porzingis ruled out
December 18, 2017


New York Knicks star forward Kristaps Porzingis was ruled out of Monday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets due to lingering soreness in his injured left knee.

The Knicks ruled Porzingis out approximately 90 minutes prior to tipoff.

Porzingis injured the knee in last Thursday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Monday's game is the second that he has missed due to the ailment.

His status for this Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics is uncertain. The 7-foot-3 Porzingis is averaging 25.5 points and 6.6 rebounds

--Milwaukee Bucks
forward Jabari Parker was assigned to the Wisconsin Herd of the G League as part of the process in his return from an ACL injury.

The transaction allows Parker to practice with the Herd in Milwaukee on Monday and Tuesday. Parker hopes to return to the Bucks in mid-February, about one year after he tore the ACL in his left knee for the season time.

Parker was excelling with averages of 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds in 51 games last season before suffering the injury on Feb. 8.

--Atlanta Hawks
rookie free-agent signee Tyler Cavanaugh saw his status upgraded when he signed a multi-year contract, the team announced. Yahoo! Sports reported the deal is for two years.

Cavanaugh went undrafted after being a college standout for George Washington and wasn't even invited to the NBA Combine. He led George Washington to the 2016 NIT crown and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

Cavanaugh quickly became part of Atlanta's rotation and is averaging 5.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 13.8 minutes in 19 games. He is shooting 40.9 percent from 3-point range.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
December 18, 2017


Game of the Night: Cavaliers at Bucks ? 8:05 PM EST
[/B]
Cleveland (23-8 SU, 11-19-1 ATS) was suffering through an NBA Finals hangover early on by going 5-7. The Cavaliers have responded by winning 18 of their past 19 games to take control of the Central division, capped off by a 106-99 victory at Washington as 2 ?-point road underdogs on Sunday. LeBron James posted a triple-double by scoring 20 points, pulling down 15 rebounds, and dishing out 15 assists in spite of shooting 8-of-23 from the floor.

Milwaukee (15-13 SU, 11-13-4 ATS) won six of seven games from late November through mid-December, but the Bucks have stumbled of late by dropping three in a row. Jason Kidd?s team allowed exactly 115 points in each of those defeats to New Orleans, Chicago, and Houston, while sailing OVER the total in each contest. The Bucks cashed as 10 ?-point underdogs in a 115-111 setback at Houston on Saturday, their highest ?dog number of the season.

In two matchups this season, the Cavaliers have topped the Bucks each time, including a 116-97 triumph at BMO Harris Bradley Center on October 20. Cleveland shot 54% from the field, led by James? 24 points and five three-pointers from Kyle Korver. The only bright spot for Milwaukee came from their star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who shot 15-of-22 from the field and scored 34 points.

In the second meeting at Quicken Loans Arena on November 7, the Cavs held off the Bucks, 124-119 as five-point favorites. After falling behind by 11 points after one quarter, Milwaukee stormed back to take a two-point halftime lead. Cleveland outscored Milwaukee by seven points in the second half as Kevin Love torched the Bucks for 32 points and 16 rebounds.

Cleveland has captured eight of the past nine meetings with Milwaukee since November 2015, including a 3-1 mark at BMO Harris Bradley Center. The Cavs have won nine of their past 11 on the highway, while Milwaukee is listed as a home underdog for only the second time this season, losing to Oklahoma City on Halloween by 19 points.

Pelicans at Wizards ? 7:05 PM EST


Washington (16-14 SU, 14-16 ATS) has failed to cover in five consecutive games, as the Wizards close out their four-game homestand with the Pelicans. In Sunday?s 106-99 defeat to Cleveland, the backcourt duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal combined to shoot 16-of-43 from the floor and score 42 points as the Wizards lost to the Cavaliers for the second time at home this season. The Wizards have registered the UNDER at Capital One Arena in nine of the past 10 tries, while finishing UNDER the total in eight of the last nine games overall.

New Orleans (15-15 SU, 16-13-1 ATS) has been the definition of a roller-coaster team of late by alternating wins and losses in each of its past nine games. The Pelicans lost to the Nuggets in overtime on Friday, 117-115 after blowing a 13-point lead following one quarter of play. The three-headed monster of DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Jrue Holiday put up 82 points, but couldn?t hold onto a late double-digit advantage to suffer its fourth road loss in their past five tries.

This series has been all Wizards the last five seasons with Washington posting an incredible 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS mark against New Orleans. Last season, the Wizards took care of the Pelicans twice by double-digits apiece, while each game easily went UNDER the total. New Orleans last won in the Nation?s Capital on January 1, 2011, as the Pelicans have dropped each of their previous five visits to Washington.

Kings at 76ers ? 7:05 PM EST


Following an impressive 7-2-1 ATS stretch, Sacramento (9-20 SU, 12-14-3 ATS) is coming off a pair of double-digit road losses at Minnesota and Toronto. The Kings led the Raptors on Sunday, 63-61 at halftime as 12-point underdogs, but Sacramento could muster only 30 second half points in a 108-93 setback at Air Canada Center. Sacramento lost to Toronto for the second time in a seven-day span, while falling to 4-3 away from Golden 1 Center.

Philadelphia (14-15 SU, 16-12-1 ATS) stubbed its toe in a 117-115 setback to suddenly streaking Chicago on Monday as two-point favorites. Joel Embiid sat out for the 76ers, but Dario Saric stepped up by scoring 27 points in Philadelphia?s sixth loss in the past seven games. The Sixers erased a 12-point second half deficit to take an eight-point advantage with four minutes remaining before getting outscored, 18-8 down the stretch.

Sacramento rallied to stun Philadelphia in its first meeting this season, 109-108 as 6 ?-point home underdogs in early November. Rookie guard De?Aaron Fox knocked down the game-winning jumper with 13 seconds remaining as the 76ers squandered a six-point lead in the final 90 seconds. Nine of the last 10 meetings in this series have been covered by the underdog, while Philadelphia is listed as a home favorite against Sacramento for the first time since February 2013.

NBA roundup: Bucks turn back Cavaliers
December 19, 2017


MILWAUKEE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo's three-point play with 5.9 seconds left capped a 27-point night and halted a furious comeback attempt as the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 119-116 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night at the Bradley Center.

LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 39 points but wasn't on the floor in the fourth quarter as Cleveland used a 24-2 run to dig out of a deep deficit. Jeff Green and Dwyane Wade scored nine each in the final quarter, finishing with 13 and 14, respectively.

Eric Bledsoe had a big night for Milwaukee, scoring 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting, including two 3-pointers, as the Bucks made 11 of 29 from distance and shot 52.4 percent overall.

Wizards 116, Pelicans 106

WASHINGTON -- Bradley Beal scored 22 of his 26 points during the second half of a game loaded with massive point swings as Washington outlasted New Orleans.

Mike Scott had 24 points on 11-of-15 shooting for the Wizards, who rebounded from Sunday's 106-99 loss to Cleveland. John Wall finished with 18 points and 10 assists.

Anthony Davis scored 22 of his 37 points in the first half for the Pelicans, who have dropped three of four. DeMarcus Cousins had 26 points and 13 rebounds.

Kings 101, 76ers 95


PHILADELPHIA -- Zach Randolph, taking advantage of the absence of Joel Embiid, scored 27 points as Sacramento rallied for a victory over Philadelphia.

Buddy Hield added 10 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter for the Kings, who erased a 16-point third-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak. Frank Mason Jr. chipped in with 16 points.

Robert Covington scored 17 points to lead the Sixers, who lost their third straight and their seventh in eight games. Jerryd Bayless added 15 points, and Ben Simmons had 13 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

Embiid, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, missed his second straight game with lower back soreness. Philadelphia is 1-6 without Embiid this season.

NBA notebook: Portland's Lillard target of gay slurs
December 19, 2017


Portland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard was the target of two anti-gay slurs allegedly shouted by a pair of fans following a game against the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Monday night, ESPN reported Tuesday.

The fans reportedly shouted the slurs at Lillard as he was walking to the team bus after the Trail Blazers' 108-107 loss at Target Center. A mobile phone video showed Lillard confronting the hecklers and asking, "Which one of you all said that?"

The video purportedly shows an accused individual apologizing.

Lillard had 17 points and 13 assists in the loss to Minnesota. The two-time All-Star is averaging 25.5 points, 6.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds for Portland this season, his sixth in the NBA.

--Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez has a moderate right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Lopez rolled his ankle while contesting a shot from behind in the second quarter of Monday's 116-114 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors.

X-rays were negative and an MRI exam confirmed the severity of the injury for Lopez, who exited Staples Center wearing a walking boot and using crutches. Lopez is averaging 12.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in 28 games this season since being acquired in a trade from the Brooklyn Nets in June.

--Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley will be sidelined at least one week with a groin injury, coach Stan Van Gundy announced.

Bradley has missed his team's last two games with a right adductor strain. The 27-year-old will be examined again by team doctors after one week.

Bradley is averaging 15.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 28 games during his first season with the Pistons. He spent his previous seven campaigns with the Boston Celtics.
