Irving, Celtics beat Hawks 110-99 for 15th straight victory
November 18, 2017

ATLANTA (AP) Kyrie Irving scored 30 points, Jaylen Brown added a career-high 27 and the Boston Celtics won their 15th straight game with a 110-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

At 15-2, Boston leads the NBA and matched the best start in franchise history through 17 games. The winning streak is the club's fifth-longest, four behind the 2008-09 team that set the franchise mark.

Dennis Schroder had 23 points, and Kent Bazemore added 19 for Atlanta. The Hawks are an Eastern Conference-worst 3-13, but they still had plenty of adrenaline following a 46-point victory over Sacramento - the biggest in franchise history - two nights ago

The Celtics erased a 16-point deficit to take their first lead on Brown's 3-pointer midway through the third. It marked Boston's fourth win when trailing by at least 16 during the streak.

Irving, playing with a protective mask to protect a minor facial fracture, ended the game with a right-handed finger-roll layup, delighting a few thousand Boston fans who were chanting ''MVP! MVP!'' in the fourth quarter. In 31 minutes, Irving made 10 of 12 shots, including five 3-pointers, and hit all five of his free throws.

WARRIORS 124, 76ERS 116

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Stephen Curry scored 35 points, Kevin Durant had 27 and defending NBA champion Golden State overcame a 22-point halftime deficit to beat Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid scored 21 points and Ben Simmons had 23 points and 12 assists for Philadelphia. The 76ers led 47-28 after one quarter and 74-52 at the half.

But the Warriors erased that large deficit with a furious rally in the third quarter. Curry's 3-pointer got them within one point. He then made a pair of free throws to give Golden State a 90-89 lead.

The two-time NBA MVP hit another 3 and Draymond Green blew past a defender for a dunk to make it 99-89 going into the fourth.

ROCKETS 105, GRIZZLIES 83

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - James Harden scored 29 points, Clint Capela had 17 points and 13 rebounds and Houston beat Memphis.

Houston guard Chris Paul added 17 points and six assists in his second game since returning from a left knee injury. Paul and Harden combined for 10-of-19 shooting from beyond the arc, and the Rockets were 18 for 43 from 3-point range overall.

Memphis dropped its fourth consecutive game. Chandler Parsons led the Grizzlies with 17 points on 7-for-9 shooting, and Marc Gasol and JaMychal Green each scored 15 points.

JAZZ 125, MAGIC 85

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Rodney Hood scored 31 points, Derrick Favors had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Utah routed Orlando to snap a three-game losing streak.

The 40-point margin matched the Magic's worst home loss in team history.

Hood was 12 for 21 from the field in his highest-scoring game of the season. The reserve guard had 19 straight points for Utah over one stretch that went from the end of the third through early in the fourth.

Aaron Gordon had 18 points and nine rebounds for Orlando.

TRAIL BLAZERS 102, KINGS 90

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - C.J. McCollum scored 25 points, Damian Lillard had 22 and Portland handed Sacramento its ninth consecutive road loss.

McCollum hit four 3-pointers and shot 9 of 16 to help Portland avenge an 86-82 road loss to the Kings on Friday night. Lillard had six assists, the Blazers shot 54 percent (38 of 70) from the floor and made 10 of 21 3-pointers.

Willie Cauley-Stein had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead Sacramento, and Zach Randolph had 17.

MAVERICKS 111, BUCKS 79

DALLAS (AP) - Wesley Matthews scored a season-high 22 points and Dallas beat Milwaukee to stop a four-game slide.

Matthews also had eight assists while helping Dallas (3-14) to its first win since Nov. 7 at Washington. He went 6 for 8 from 3-point range.

J.J. Barea had 20 points for the Mavericks, and Harrison Barnes finished with 18. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 24 points and 17 rebounds for the Bucks. They had won four in a row.

HORNETS 102, CLIPPERS 87

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Kemba Walker had 26 points, Dwight Howard added 16 points and 16 rebounds and Charlotte snapped a six-game losing streak with the victory over struggling Los Angeles.

Walker, who was coming off a 47-point performance in a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, was 8 of 17 from the field and 6 of 9 from 3-point range despite a sprained wrist.

Jeremy Lamb added 17 points for Charlotte. Lou Williams had 25 points, and Blake Griffin added 19 for the Clippers. They have lost eight straight.

NBA roundup: Curry nets 39 in Warriors' win
November 19, 2017

NEW YORK -- Stephen Curry totaled 39 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists before fouling out as the Golden State Warriors held on for a 118-111 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.

The defending NBA champions took the lead in the first quarter and survived a lull in the fourth quarter.

Less than 24 hours after rallying from a 24-point deficit in Philadelphia, the Warriors did not experience any similar problems in the first half Sunday. Golden State led for most of the final 42:08, held a 22-point lead at halftime and a 28-point edge early in the third before the Nets got close.

Curry shot 14 of 24 from the floor and hit four 3-pointers, guiding the offense in the absence of Kevin Durant, who sat out due to a sprained left ankle. Allen Crabbe scored 25 points and Spencer Dinwiddie added 21 for the Nets.

Lakers 127, Nuggets 109

LOS ANGELES -- Lonzo Ball recorded the second triple-double of his rookie season, and Los Angeles rolled to a victory over Denver.

Ball finished with 11 points, 11 assists and 16 rebounds, though he hit just 5 of 13 shots from the floor. Julius Randle scored a season-high 24 points and Brook Lopez added 21 for the Lakers.

Gary Harris led the Nuggets with 20 points, while Wilson Chandler scored 17. Each team had seven players produce at least 10 points apiece.

Raptors 100, Wizards 91

TORONTO -- DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points, grabbed eight rebounds and added six assists as Toronto defeated Washington.

The Raptors had a three-point lead entering the fourth quarter and built it to nine. When the Wizards moved to within five, Raptors reserve guard Fred VanVleet made a 3-pointer with 1:15 to play.

The Wizards were playing without guard John Wall, who has a swollen left knee. Bradley Beal paced Washington with 27 points.

Pacers 120, Heat 95

MIAMI -- Bojan Bogdanovic scored 26 points and Myles Turner added 25 as Indiana ended its six-game losing streak at AmericanAirlines Arena with a win over Miami.

Indiana shot 60 percent from the floor for its easiest win of the season.

Turner, who made 11 of 14 shots from the field, added seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Indiana also got 15 points from shooting guard Victor Oladipo, who leads the Pacers in scoring on the season.

Pistons 100, Timberwolves 97

MINNEAPOLIS -- Detroit rallied in the fourth quarter and then held on to beat Minnesota.

Andre Drummond had 20 points and 16 rebounds to lead Detroit, while Avery Bradley and Tobias Harris each added 18 points. The Pistons bounced back after dropping back-to-back games for the first time this season. The Timberwolves saw their three-game winning streak end.

Jimmy Butler had a team-high 26 points and 10 rebounds for Minnesota. Andrew Wiggins added 24 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in 16 points and nine rebounds for the Timberwolves.

Suns 113, Bulls 105

PHOENIX -- TJ Warren scored nine of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, and the Phoenix bench contributed 50 points in the Suns' win over Chicago.

Devin Booker had 15 points and reserves Mike James and Troy Daniels combined for 29 as the Suns won their second straight and beat the Bulls for the third time in the past four tries.

Rookie Lauri Markkanen had career-high 26 points and added 13 rebounds for Chicago, which missed a chance to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

NBA notebook: Durant misses game with OKC visit looming
November 19, 2017

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant missed Sunday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets with a sprained left ankle, the team announced.

Durant suffered the injury during Saturday night's 124-116 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center. He scored 27 points on 11-of-20 shooting with five rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes.

Durant is considered day-to-day and the injury is not believed to be serious. He is averaging 24.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 15 games this season.

The Warriors travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder on Wednesday night. The game would be Durant's second time playing in Oklahoma City against his former team since joining the Warriors last season.

--Washington Wizards guard John Wall missed Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors with a swollen left knee.

There is a chance Wall could be ready to play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wall is averaging 19.9 points and 9.3 assists per game.

--Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz, the first overall pick in this year's NBA draft, will miss at least two more weeks with a shoulder injury, the team announced.

Fultz has played just four games this season, averaging 6.0 points, and has not played since an Oct. 23 game against Detroit because of the shoulder problem.

The 76ers stated the "soreness is dissipating and the muscle balance is improving." Fultz will be re-examined in two to three weeks to determine whether he is ready to return.

NBA veteran David Lee retires at 34
November 19, 2017

Two-time All-Star David Lee announced his retirement on Sunday after 12 NBA seasons.

The 34-year-old forward made the announcement on his Instagram page.

Lee got engaged to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki earlier this month.

"An epic night celebrating my retirement with my friends and family! Thank you to my amazing fiancee carowozniacki for planning the surprise!" Lee wrote underneath a group photo.

Lee averaged 13.5 points and 8.8 rebounds in 829 career NBA games.

He played his first five seasons with the New York Knicks and was an All-Star in 2009-10 when he averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds. He spent the following five seasons with the Golden State Warriors, making the All-Star team again when he averaged 18.5 points and 11.1 boards in 2012-13.

Lee was a member of Golden State team that defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals.

Over his final two seasons, he spent time with the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs. He did not play this season.

Lee played four seasons of college basketball at Florida and was the 30th overall selection of the 2005 NBA Draft.

Monday's NBA Essentials
November 20, 2017

Game of the Night - Oklahoma City at New Orleans, (Fox Sports Oklahoma, 8:05 ET)

Anthony Davis caught an accidental head butt from Denver star Nikola Jokic in Friday's blowout loss and immediately left in the third quarter, but he got good news on Sunday when the was cleared after an examination, diagnosed with a contusion of the orbit bone above his right eye. The Pelicans (8-8 SU, 9-7 ATS) list him as probable for this one, so we'll get both teams at relatively full strength if wing defender Tony Allen is able to make it back from a knee issue.

New Orleans welcomed back Rajon Rondo last week and is still getting him acclimated, but comes in on a two-game losing streak after a 125-116 home loss to Toronto and a 146-114 loss at the Nuggets. This is an especially challenging week for New Orleans, who will play the Spurs on Wednesday before a Friday-Saturday back-to-back at Phoenix and Golden State. Despite DeMarcus Cousins joining Shaquille O'Neal and Moses Malone as the only players in NBA history to score 400 points and grab 200 rebounds over a season's first 15 games -- a feat that hadn't been accomplished since Shaq did it in 2000 -- the Pelicans open the week with just the seventh-best record in the conference, a half-game up on Oklahoma City (7-8 SU, 6-8-1 ATS) and slumping Memphis.

If you want to be optimistic about it, New Orleans hasn't had Rondo in play and needed to pick up Jameer Nelson just to give itself an extra playmaker alongside Jrue Holiday. The Pels have also lacked firepower on the wing, but are stuck with that predicament until Solomon Hill is able to return from a torn hamstring next month at the earliest.

Oklahoma City can identify with the slow start and getting a number of moving parts together, but certainly didn't anticipate being under .500 nearly one-fifth of the way in. The Thunder have shown signs of getting it together lately and would be coming into tonight's game above .500 if they hadn't blown a 23-point lead in San Antonio on Friday night, continuing a disturbing trend that has plagued new-look OKC over the first full month of action.

Russell Westbrook was the culprit, struggling to finish shots he typically makes in his sleep down the stretch. Paul George also missed multiple easy looks and failed to grab a key rebound on the defensive end in the 104-101 loss to the Spurs. Combined, Westbrook and George shot 10-for-38 and were brutal down the stretch. Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 20 points but probably feels he didn't get the ball enough in the second half to keep the game from tightening back up in the first place. None said much to reporters about the brutal loss after the game, but among one another, need to continue to communicate and grow because that Friday night setback is the type that can linger if not addressed.

This is a big week for the Thunder, who welcome in Golden State on Wednesday, facing the team they envision facing as their primary playoff obstacle for the first time. Kevin Durant returning to Oklahoma City is always an event, but he enters the week questionable after missing Sunday's win in Brooklyn with a sprained left ankle.

It certainly feels like the Thunder are running into an ex with their hair messed up, as in they don't have their house in order just yet. They did at least got center Steven Adams back after a three-game absence due to a calf issue. Although OKC went 3-0 without him, it still missed his presence clogging up the paint and rebounding, so count on him being the x-factor against the NBA's most talented big-man tandem tonight.

Oklahoma City swept the season series between these teams 4-0 last season, but only one of those games was played after the Pelicans acquired Cousins. He and Davis combined for 69 points and 17 rebounds, but Cousins fouled out in just 22 minutes, dropping to 0-3 in his early stint in New Orleans. That game also saw Davis score 24 first-quarter points, so it will be interesting to see how the Thunder match up against him with the likes of Andre Roberson, George and Anthony all givng away tons of size. Expect constant double-teams, which will test whether the other Pelicans can take advantage, something that has largely eluded them thus far.

Rondo started for just the second time against Denver and played a season-long 25 minutes, scoring 13 points and adding six assists. Alvin Gentry will play him and Holiday in tandem, which is Plan A for making sure that both bigs remain angry and efficient. Rondo's presence on the floor puts pressure on Holiday and Dante Cunningham to step up as shooters, and they went a combined 2-for-8 from 3-point range in Denver on Friday. Rondo joined Davis and Cousins on the floor during the key stretches where the Nuggets pulled away and caught a minus-30 in plus-minus, so there should be genuine concern that playing his way into shape is likely to cost New Orleans a few games. It's obviously a short sample size, but New Orleans is 0-2 SU/ATS with their new starting point guard out there and have seen both games soar over the posted total. Opponents have averaged 135.5 points.

Injury Concerns

Washington missed John Wall in yesterday's 100-91 road loss in Toronto, running out of gas in the second half without its point guard. The team called his absence precautionary, giving him a Sunday off due to left knee soreness, but head coach Scott Brooks told the Washington Post that he was unsure if he'd play in Monday's visit to Milwaukee, though said "it's a great chance" he'll play if the swelling he said hindered his effort in a Friday night home loss to Miami subsides. It sounds like the Wizards just didn't want him to play three games in four nights, so he's got a good shot at being out there barring any setbacks.

Forward Otto Porter was nursing a swollen hand and Markieff Morris caught a knee to the face in Toronto, so there certainly should be concern that the Wizards won't have the juice to prevent what would be their first three-game losing streak of the season. The loss north of the border kicked off a stretch that sees Washington play 10 of 12 on the road between now and Dec. 12.

Cleveland announced late last week that point guard Derrick Rose needs a few weeks to heal an ankle injury and is still at least a month away from getting Isaiah Thomas in the mix, so being forced to give Iman Shumpert the week off to heal from knee pain of his own isn't ideal. While Dwyane Wade is likely to get more minutes after playing 37 in Friday's 118-113 OT win over the Clippers, veteran Jose Calderon will likely start tonight's visit to Detroit.

The Cavs have won a season-best four straight games (2-2 ATS) but are also without forward Tristan Thompson until mid-December, so expect vets LeBron James, Kevin Love and Wade to play major minutes. Fortunately, there are no back-to-backs scheduled for this group until next week.

The Clippers have dropped eight straight entering Monday's game at the Knicks and matched a season-low 87 points in Saturday night's loss in Charlotte. They should get some relief with point guard Patrick Beverley hoping to return from a 5-game absence due to a knee injury. L.A. hasn't won without him and is 5-5 with him in the mix. New York lists shooting guard Tim Hardaway, Jr. as questionable with a sore foot and injured his elbow on Friday. He's scored 26 or more points in three of this last five games.

Portland visits Memphis and won't have to deal with point guard Mike Conley, who has been shelved indefinitely as he tries to keep an Achilles issue from becoming a season-altering problem. Forward Brandan Wright (groin) and guard Tyreke Evans (shoulder) each left a 105-83 Saturday night loss to Houston, so the Grizzlies will certainly be significantly short-handed since they've already ruled Wright out. Evans is expected to be a game-time call.

Head-to-Head Trends

Since 2014, even before LeBron returned via free agency, the Cavs began a three-game winning streak against the Pistons that is part of 13-6 SU run in this Central Division series. That also includes a 4-0 sweep in the 2016 playoffs first round, spoiling Stan Van Gundy's only postseason appearance with Detroit. The teams split last year's season series, both SU and ATS, with the Pistons winning each of the final two meetings in Auburn Hills. They've since moved back downtown, so this will be James' first regular-season visit to Little Caesar's Arena, which makes you wonder if he'll have a special performance in store in order to christen it. The Pistons served as his first real obstacle in this league, bringing out both the best and the worst in him, so the thoughtful star always packs something extra for them. Detroit will be facing the Cavs coming off an upset win in Minnesota and is 3-0 (2-0-1 ATS) on the second night of a back-to-back, owning wins at New York, Golden State and home against Sacramento.

Orlando head coach Frank Vogel went 0-4 SU and ATS against the Pacers and former assistant Nate McMillan last season. The Magic have a long history of struggling against Indiana, owning just one win in the last 12 meetings since the final matchup of the 2013-14 season, when Vogel was on the opposite sideline. Last year's games weren't even close, as the Pacers won each by double-digits and owned an average margin of victory of 14.3 points per game. With former Magic draft pick Victor Oladipo now in Indy and returning to Central Florida for the first time in that uniform, things could get spicy. Domantas Sabonis, who the Magic drafted and also shipped out, has been sharp in his sophomore NBA season. Indiana beat Miami 120-95 on Sunday to match a season-high three-game winning streak. It is 1-3 (2-2 ATS) on the second night of back-to-backs, winning in Cleveland.

Philadelphia star Joel Embiid and Rookie of the Year lock Ben Simmons fell short of an upset of Golden State on Saturday, blowing a 24-point lead, so it will be fun to see how they bounce back against visiting Utah. The 76ers snapped a nine-game losing streak at the hands of the Jazz on Nov. 7 despite Embiid's absence and Rudy Gobert's 16 points and 15 boards. It was Philly's first win in Utah since 2005. The Stifle Tower is now out with a knee injury until mid-December, while Embiid averaged 33 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks last week in his first extended action where he's consistently played over 30 minutes.

The Celtics look for a 16th straight win as the team with the NBA's top record (15-2) visits Dallas (3-14), which posts the league's worst. The Mavericks owned the C's until last season, winning 11 of 12 meetings between 2010-16, dropping only a double-OT game in Boston back in 2012. The Mavs were swept by Boston last season for the first time since '08 and are a 7-point home dog tonight as they look for consecutive wins for the first time in '17-'18.
