Preview: Trail Blazers at Bucks

Gracenote
Oct 21, 2017

Damian Lillard has his backcourt mate back in the lineup and the high-scoring duo of Lillard and CJ McCollum look to elevate Portland to a 3-0 start when the Trail Blazers visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. McCollum scored 28 points on 12-of-18 shooting in his season debut Friday as Portland notched a solid 114-96 road victory over the Indiana Pacers.

McCollum missed the Trail Blazers' 48-point drubbing of the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday while serving a one-game suspension for leaving the bench during an altercation in the preseason finale but was on his game against the Pacers. "It certainly helped to have CJ back," Lillard said. "But the main thing is that we continued to defend." Portland allowed an average of 86 points in its first two games while Milwaukee is prepared for another tough contest after opening with the two teams that played in last season's Eastern Conference finals. "It's the NBA," Bucks coach Jason Kidd told reporters. "There are no easy wins in this league. You can get beat on any given night. We started with Boston and Cleveland, now we have to face Portland. We've got a tough task, no matter who we're playing."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN Northwest (Portland), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (2-0): Lillard (27) and McCollum (23) combined to average 50 points per game last season and both players have fared well against Milwaukee. Lillard averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 assists, six rebounds and two steals in two games against the Bucks last season, while McCollum averaged 22 points and 3.5 assists and has scored 20 or more in three straight games against Milwaukee. Portland will look to get center Jusuf Nurkic (6-of-20 shooting in two games) going after he had six turnovers and only two rebounds Friday after having 11 points and 11 rebounds in the season opener.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (1-1): All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 35.5 points on 28-of-44 shooting after contributing 34 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in Friday's 116-97 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. "Giannis did a really good job trying to find the open guy and being aggressive," Kidd said afterward. "He scored a lot of points but he needs his teammates to make some open shots and take the pressure off him." Reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon was the lone other player in double digits (16 points) against the Cavaliers and is averaging 17.5 points.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Bucks won both of last season's meetings and have prevailed in four of the past five matchups.

2. Portland PF Al-Faroqu Aminu is averaging 14 rebounds through two games after collecting 16 against Indiana.

3. Milwaukee SG Khris Middleton (11.5 average) is 9-of-27 from the field, including 1-of-10 from 3-point range.

Preview: Thunder at Jazz

Gracenote
Oct 21, 2017

Paul George and Carmelo Anthony needed only one regular-season game playing with reigning league MVP Russell Westbrook to understand how special their time could be together. The star-studded trio attempts to power Oklahoma City to its third 2-0 start in as many years when the Thunder visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

"I'm used to watching it. I'm used to going up against it. Now, to be on the other side of that on the same team as (Westbrook), and to reap those benefits of what he can bring to the game - I'm excited about what we started out tonight, what we created tonight and where we're headed," Anthony told reporters after scoring 22 points in Thursday's 105-84 rout of the New York Knicks. George tallied 28 points to complement yet another triple-double from Westbrook, who finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists. “There's nobody that can stay in front of Russ, so he's always going to attract two (defenders). A lot of times I'm going to be catching wide open,” George told The Oklahoman. The Jazz opened their season with a 10-point home win against Denver on Wednesday but were unable to string together consecutive victories as they gave up a go-ahead 3-pointer with less than 30 seconds remaining in a 100-97 loss at Minnesota on Friday.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FSN Oklahoma (Oklahoma City), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah)

ABOUT THE THUNDER (1-0): Oklahoma City's new fast-paced offense appeared to be in midseason form - the Thunder held a 35-8 advantage in transition points - but Westbrook still committed seven turnovers and the team went 11-for-38 beyond the arc. Patrick Patterson, another one of Oklahoma City's offseason additions, is expected to see more than the seven scoreless minutes he played versus New York as the team tries to ease him back after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in August. “Hopefully, we can try to find a way to get him some more minutes against Utah. I think it's important that we get him acclimated and get him in there playing.” Thunder coach Billy Donovan told The Oklahoman.

ABOUT THE JAZZ (1-1): Ricky Rubio thrived in his first game back in Minnesota with 19 points, 10 assists and five rebounds, while backcourt mate Rodney Hood rebounded from a quiet opener versus the Nuggets with 20 points on Friday. However, Hood's night ended after only 24 minutes when he was hurt while defending Jamal Crawford midway through the fourth quarter; he was unable to put any weight on his left leg and was carried off by teammates before he was eventually diagnosed with a calf strain. Rudy Gobert finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds versus the Timberwolves to record his second double-double in as many games and the sixth in his last seven regular-season contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Westbrook's triple-double against New York was the 80th of his career.

2. Rubio became the first Jazz player to have back-to-back games with at least 10 assists since Shelvin Mack in March of 2016.

3. Oklahoma City's 38 3-point attempts were the franchise's most in a game since the Seattle SuperSonics hoisted up 39 on Nov. 16, 2004.

Preview: Kings at Nuggets

Gracenote
Oct 21, 2017

The Denver Nuggets made significant strides last season in large part because they could score with just about anyone. After a lackluster offensive effort in their opener, the Nuggets look to get their rhythm going when they host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday in their first home game of the season.

Denver, which ranked third in the NBA in scoring in 2016-17 at 111.7 points per game, had 21 turnovers and managed just 12 free-throw attempts in a 106-96 loss at Denver on Wednesday. "We couldn't score. We couldn't execute. We couldn't value the ball," coach Michael Malone said. "And that led to (the Jazz) getting whatever they wanted on the offensive end." Included in the struggle was a scoreless second half for standout big man Nikola Jokic, who finished with seven points. The Kings picked up their first win of the season Friday in Dallas, riding a balanced attack and a dominant effort on the boards to a 93-88 triumph.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, NBCSN California (Sacramento), Altitude (Denver)

ABOUT THE KINGS (1-1): Guard George Hill has settled in well with his new team, following up a 16-point showing in Wednesday's loss to Houston with a team-high 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting against Dallas. Nineteen-year-old rookie De'Aaron Fox was just 4-of-13 from the floor Friday but posted his first career double-digit assist game with 10 helpers in 26 minutes. Veteran forward Zach Randolph had 13 points in his team debut after missing the opener due to oral surgery.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (0-1): Jamal Murray and Emmanuel Mudiay battled it out for the starting point guard spot in the preseason, but the situation remains fluid and neither stood out in the opener. "We're excited about the future for both of those guys," Malone said. "We're (going to) live with their mistakes and let them play through their mistakes." Murray, who received the start against Utah, was 2-for-6 from the floor in 20 minutes and Mudiay went 3-for-8 in 19 minutes, with both players chipping in just two assists apiece.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Kings C Willie Cauley-Stein has back-to-back double-doubles to open the season.

2. Nuggets SG Gary Harris hit all three of his 3-point tries against Utah after finishing 10th in the NBA beyond the arc (42 percent) last season.

3. Sacramento rookie SF Justin Jackson has seven points and zero assists in 36 minutes through the first two games.

PREDICTION: Nuggets 108, Kings 99
