Preview: Timberwolves at Mavericks

Gracenote
Nov 16, 2017

The Minnesota Timberwolves are finally beginning to play some defense, which raises their ceiling considerably. The Timberwolves will try to hold a third straight opponent under 100 points when they visit the NBA-worst Dallas Mavericks on Friday.

Minnesota was allowing opponents to shoot better than 50 percent from the field through the first four weeks of the season and is still last in the NBA in field-goal percentage defense (49.3), but at least it is moving in the right direction. The Timberwolves held opponents under 100 points in each of their last five wins and put together one of their best defensive performances on Wednesday, when they held the San Antonio Spurs to 41.8 percent shooting in a 98-86 triumph. The Mavericks aren't much better on the defensive end and pair that with an offense ranked 29th in the NBA while shooting 42.3 percent. "There has to be balance," Dallas forward Harrison Barnes told the team's website of the offense. "I think we have guys on this team who can create off the dribble, who are good at that. But at the same time, I understand what (coach Rick Carlisle is) saying, just in terms of moving, making sure everyone's touching it, getting a flow to the offense. I think there's a balance to be had with both. Right now, in trying to get out of this rut, I think we're trying to figure that out."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), FS Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (9-5): Minnesota is asking a lot of center Karl-Anthony Towns, and he is delivering. The Kentucky product, who turned 22 on Wednesday, recorded his fourth straight double-double with 26 points and 16 rebounds while playing 40 minutes against the Spurs -- the third straight game in which he logged at least 39 minutes. Towns' performance on Wednesday helped the Timberwolves overcome a rough night from swingman Jimmy Butler, who went 2-of-13 from the floor.

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (2-13): Dallas began its four-game homestand with a 97-91 loss to the Spurs on Tuesday -- its third straight setback -- but is starting to see improvement, at least in effort. "We've just got to keep bringing the same kind of fight we brought (Tuesday) and we've brought really the last three games," Carlisle told reporters. "I think the last four games our level of fight is really good. We've got to get some more shots in, and we've got to get off the dribble a little bit. We're dribbling too much at times, and we've got to fight it out on the boards and do a good job with turnovers." Rookie Dennis Smith Jr. scored a season-high 27 points in the loss to San Antonio and is averaging 21.3 points over his last four games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Mavericks SG Wesley Matthews is 7-of-33 from the floor over the last three games, including 3-of-19 from 3-point range.

2. Timberwolves C Gorgui Dieng (finger) sat out the last three games and is day-to-day.

3. Minnesota beat Dallas 112-99 at home on Nov. 4 behind 31 points and 12 rebounds from Towns.

Preview: Trail Blazers at Kings

Gracenote
Nov 16, 2017

The Portland Trail Blazers look to take advantage of a struggling team when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Friday night for the opener of a home-and-home, two-day set. The Trail Blazers have won four of their last six contests after outlasting Orlando 99-94 on Wednesday and holding an opponent under 95 points for the second straight game.

Portland was tied for third in scoring defense (98.9) entering Thursday and holds opponents to 43.6 percent shooting to go along with an offense led by All-Star guard Damian Lillard, who is averaging 24.5 points after scoring 26 versus Orlando. The Trail Blazers hope to keep their focus against the Kings, who have dropped three in a row since their only winning streak of the season (two) and are second-to-last in the league in scoring (93.6). Sacramento won its last two at home - Oklahoma City and Philadelphia - but regressed on the recent road trip that ended with a 126-80 loss at Atlanta on Wednesday that caused coach Dave Joerger to tell reporters: “Losing’s one thing, but we’ve got to do a better job of competing.” Kings rookie guard De’Aaron Fox has struggled shooting of late, making 10-of-34 from the field over the past four contests, but had just five total turnovers in that stretch.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBCSN Northwest (Portland), NBCSN California (Sacramento)

ABOUT PORTLAND (8-6): Reserve guard Shabazz Napier has picked up his production of late while scoring in double figures three of the last four games, culminating with 19 points that included a 5-for-5 effort from behind the arc Wednesday. Lillard’s backcourt mate, CJ McCollum, also poured in 24 points in the win over Orlando and has shot at least 50 percent from the field in three of his last four outings. Center Jusuf Nurkic matched his season high with five assists last time out and is averaging 15.4 points and 7.2 rebounds overall.

ABOUT SACRAMENTO (3-11): Leading scorer Zach Randolph (13 points) scored 16 against Atlanta while veteran guard George Hill was the only other player who reached double figures with a dozen. Rookie guard Justin Jackson has cooled off after putting together back-to-back double-figure scoring performances, going just 7-of-31 from the floor over the past three contests. Guard Buddy Hield is averaging 13.4 points in November, but is coming off his worst game of the month as he was held to six points on 2-of-8 from the field.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Sacramento PF Skal Labissiere has drained 12-of-22 shots from the field in the last three contests.

2. Portland’s rookie PF Caleb Swanigan made his second career start Wednesday, but did not score in six minutes.

3. The Trail Blazers won two of the three meetings last season with each team winning on its home court.

Preview: Rangers at Blue Jackets

Gracenote
Nov 16, 2017

The New York Rangers saw their six-game winning streak end with a thud Wednesday in Chicago, but they will try to earn a split of the two-game road trip when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. The teams have already met twice, with the Blue Jackets posting a 3-1 win in Columbus on Oct. 13 and New York winning 5-3 at home on Nov. 6.

Artemi Panarin scored in each of the first two meetings against the Rangers, but scoring has been an issue for the Blue Jackets with a combined five goals in the past four games. “It’s not one guy. It’s four or five guys that are struggling offensively,” coach John Tortorella said. “We’ve just got to keep on trying to work out of it and get something good to happen for us.” New York has played the second-fewest road games in the Eastern Conference, falling to 2-4-0 away from home after allowing five third-period goals in a 6-3 setback to the Blackhawks. “We got what we deserved,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “We didn’t deserve to win and we didn’t.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, TVAS, MSG-Plus (New York), FSN Ohio

ABOUT THE RANGERS (9-8-2): Defenseman Brendan Smith, acquired at the trade deadline last season and signed to a four-year, $17.4 million contract in June, will finally return to the lineup Friday after being a healthy scratch for six straight games. “Brendan’s handled this as a pro, stayed focused, worked hard," Vigneault said. "He wasn’t happy, there’s no doubt.” Henrik Lundqvist, who won all six games during the winning streak before he was yanked in Wednesday's loss, will make his eighth consecutive start.

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (11-7-1): Columbus halted a four-game skid with back-to-back 2-1 victories -- both beyond regulation -- on the back of Sergei Bobrovsky, who made a spectacular highlight-reel save in each contest. “Right now, the Columbus Blue Jackets own the best save of the year in the highlights, and the second best save of the year,” Tortorella said of the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. Forward Lukas Sedlak, expected to be out six weeks, practiced Thursday 3 1/2 weeks after injuring his ankle.

OVERTIME

1. Columbus is 0-for-15 on the power play over the last six games.

2. Former Blue Jackets F Rick Nash has four goals in the past three games for New York.

3. F Zac Dalpe was placed on waivers Thursday by Columbus.

Preview: Sabres at Red Wings

Gracenote
Nov 16, 2017

Forward Anthony Mantha has put the pieces together to make a profound impact with the Detroit Red Wings, so much so that goaltender Jimmy Howard told reporters that he thinks the 23-year-old can be a "superstar in this league." Mantha looks to keep the Red Wings churning in the right direction on Friday when they play the third contest of their five-game homestand against the Buffalo Sabres.

With two goals and an assist, Mantha increased his point total to 11 (six goals, five assists) in his last eight contests as Detroit improved to 5-2-1 in that stretch with an 8-2 romp over Calgary on Wednesday. "I just think it's part of the maturation of him as a player," coach Jeff Blashill told MLive of the 6-foot-5, 214-pound Mantha. "As you mature as a player, he gets more ice time. As you get more ice time, you get a chance to produce more when you're talented like he is." Mantha and his mates were blanked in their last encounter with Buffalo, but the Sabres are hardly singing in the streets after losing three in a row and six of eight overall as well as three straight on the road. Benoit Pouliot scored in Buffalo's 5-4 overtime setback to Pittsburgh on Tuesday and also netted the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Detroit on Oct. 24.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, MSG-B (Buffalo), SN360, FSN Detroit

ABOUT THE SABRES (5-9-4): Evander Kane is enjoying the best start to a season in his career with team-leading totals in goals (10) and points (18) in 18 contests. The 26-year-old extended his point streak to four games (three goals, two assists) in the first period following a feed from Jack Eichel, who picked up his team-leading 11th assist on that exchange before snapping an eight-game goal drought in the second. The 21-year-old looks to build on that momentum versus Detroit, against which he has four goals and seven points in nine career meetings.

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (9-8-2): Defenseman Luke Witkowski was suspended 10 games by the NHL for his role in Wednesday's melee versus the Flames. After being escorted off the ice following a fight with Brett Kulak, the 27-year-old Michigan native attempted to rejoin the fracas and was assessed a fighting major, two 10-minute misconducts and a game misconduct. Witkowski brazenly boasted following the match that he deemed his actions to be "old-time hockey" and said "I think it's good for the game," although the league readily disagreed with that assessment the following day.

OVERTIME

1. Detroit C Dylan Larkin matched Mantha with a three-point performance on Wednesday and has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in his past eight games.

2. Sabres G Robin Lehner, who made 32 saves in last month's encounter, turned aside 97 of 102 shots to post a 2-0-1 mark versus the Red Wings last season.

3. Howard sustained the hard-luck loss in the teams' previous meeting, but owns an 8-1-1 mark versus Buffalo and has yet to yield more than two goals in regulation against the club in his career.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 9 CALL SAUL 6/1

# 8 QUE CHISTOSO 10/1

# 4 BELISARIUS (IRE) 3/1

CALL SAUL is my choice. The average Equibase class rating alone makes this entrant a solid choice. QUE CHISTOSO - Has to be considered against this field displaying competitive figures recently and an average speed figure of 99 under similar conditions. Is hard not to examine given the company run in lately. BELISARIUS (IRE) - Solid average speed figures in turf route races make this racer a key contender. Ran a very solid last race.

Hawthorne - Race #3 - Post: 4:06pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $8,500 Class Rating: 82

Rating: 4

#1 STELLA'S PRINCESS (ML=4/1)
#3 MAY BE SUSPECT (ML=6/1)


STELLA'S PRINCESS - This filly is in nice condition, having run a good race on Oct 26th, finishing first. This is a classic 'Lone Front-runner' scenario. If Felix gets him out of the gate cleanly it'll likely be smooth sailing. Ranks highest in earnings per start (EPS). A strong outing in this race can augment the lifetime bankroll. MAY BE SUSPECT - On Oct 11th this filly shipped in to win and looks good right back.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 QUEENOFTHEROAD (ML=9/5), #2 AWAY SHE GLOWS (ML=9/2), #4 MY LITTLE DARLINGS (ML=5/1),

QUEENOFTHEROAD - Can't really wager on this kind of oft beaten favorite. When checking today's class figure, she will have to earn a better fig than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint. AWAY SHE GLOWS - Tough for anyone who saw this mount in her last race to wager on her this time around. Don't think this less than sharp equine will do much running today. That last speed rating was mediocre when compared with today's class figure. MY LITTLE DARLINGS - Hard to recommend any horse with deteriorating speed figures of 81/72/56. This mare showed little last time out of the box. Should be difficult for this horse to beat this bunch off of that last speed figure. Improbable to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class rating, so put her on the vulnerable contenders list.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - STELLA'S PRINCESS - Coming off her last race with the top speed figure of 77 at Hawthorne. She is the filly to beat today.

#2 OLD DUDE (ML=4/1)
#3 CAPTAIN MAD JACK (ML=6/1)


OLD DUDE - The Oct 30th event at Laurel was at a class level of (89). Dropping down the ladder based on class considerably, so he should be in a good position. Colt took a little vacation, but has been racing into shape. CAPTAIN MAD JACK - I like this gelding a lot here. He shows a lot of consistency, finishing in the money frequently. I think this gelding is very fit right now. I like the fact that Connelly brings him back to a race so quickly. This horse didn't run well on a muddy track in his last race at Parx Racing. You probably want to disregard that showing.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 UNDER THE GRAYDAR (ML=9/5), #7 BLACK JACKET (ML=3/1), #4 SELLING OUT (ML=8/1),

BLACK JACKET - Didn't perform too well last time out. Probably won't do much running in today's race. SELLING OUT - Can't bet on this entrant in today's sprint of 6 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance contest recently. This gelding garnered a speed rating in his last race which probably isn't good enough in today's race.

#2 OLD DUDE is going to be the play if we are getting 3/1 or better

Appalachian State was 15-40 on arc, 29-40 on foul line in 104-98 loss to Iowa State Thursday; ASU starts two sophs, two juniors- you just don’t see a team take 40 3’s and 40 FT’s in same game- only two of their guys played more than 29:00. ASU had beaten couple of stiffs before coming to this event. Western Michigan lost 81-74 to Tulsa yesterday, despite going 12-31 on arc— they start two juniors, two sophs.

NBA2K tournament, Madison Square Garden
Saint Louis upset Va Tech 77-71 yesterday; Billikens are 3-0 with wins over two stiffs. SLU starts two freshmen and a sophomore- they made only 25% of their 3’s in first three games. Providence has advantage of playing in MSG every year, at Big East tournament. Friars lost to Minnesota t home Monday, but beat Washington 77-70 last night. Friars’ bench outscored Washington’s subs 25-9. Billikens played their best guys 37-39:00 yesterday.

Washington lost 77-70 to Providence last night; their bench was outscored 25-9. Huskies shot just 9-27 on arc, 13-22 on foul line. Washington starts three juniors, doesn’t play any seniors and they have a new coach- they beat Belmont, EWU at home.

New Mexico coach Weir bolted New Mexico State after one year to coach the Lobos (for more money); no hard feelings, right? Lobos are 6-2 in last eight series games; they lost by 13 in Las Cruces LY, when Weir was coaching the Aggies. New Mexico was 17-39 on arc in their 103-71 win over Omaha last game- they’re starting two juniors, three seniors. Aggies lost by 18 at St Mary’s Monday, after beating a stiff in their opener. State starts three tenors and a junior. Mountain West underdogs are 1-2 vs spread this season.
