Iron Bowl betting preview and odds: Alabama at Auburn

The Auburn Tigers haven't beaten Alabama since the miracle ending to the Iron Bowl in 2013. Will quarterback Jarrett Stidham be the difference in this year's SEC rivalry matchup?

Alabama Crimson Tide at Auburn Tigers (+4.5, 47)

The SEC West title is at stake on Saturday when top-ranked Alabama visits sixth-ranked Auburn in the Iron Bowl and the contest also carries College Football Playoff implications. The Tigers fall out of CFP consideration with a loss while the Crimson Tide would all but clinch a spot in the four-team playoff with their 12th consecutive victory.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said there is no need to explain the importance of Saturday's matchup to his players, especially with so much on the line in the latest installment.

"The Iron Bowl is a tremendous rivalry game and there's a lot of passion on both sides," Saban said at a press conference. "Lots of people are interested in it and it's got lots of ramifications this year. As a competitor, this is always a game you look forward to having the opportunity to play in."

Auburn has averaged 44 points while recording four consecutive victories after it looked like it was falling out of contention and coach Gus Malzahn is glad his team has this opportunity.

"This is a huge game for us. I'm excited for our team, and they've worked extremely hard to get to this point," Malzahn told reporters. "We're playing the No. 1 team in the country two times (the Tigers routed Georgia on Nov. 11) in the last three weeks. It's for the SEC West championship, so, real excited to play this week."

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS.

LINE HISTORY: The Tigers opened as 3-point home underdogs and the spread has moved a point and a half higher as we inch closer to the kickoff on Saturday. The total opened at 50 and has been bet down three points to 47.

INJURY REPORT:

Alabama - DB Minkah Fitzpatrick (Probable, Hamstring), PK Andy Pappanastos (Questionable, Leg), OL Ross Pierschbacher (Questionable, Ankle), QB Mac Jones (Suspension, Questionable).

Auburn - LB Chandler Wooten (Questionable, Undisclosed), LB Deshaun Davis (Questionable, Ankle), RB JaTarvious Whitlow (Questionable, Ankle), LB Tre Williams (Questionable, Undisclosed).

WEATHER REPORT:

65 degrees at gametime with minimal 4.3 mph winds


ABOUT ALABAMA (11-0 SU, 5-6 ATS, 5-6 O/U): Strong safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) will return after a one-game absence and the junior is the star of a defense which leads the nation in scoring defense (10.2 points per game) and total defense (244.1 yards per game), and ranks second in rushing defense (87.4) and third in passing defense(156.7).

Sophomore quarterback Jalen Hurts has thrown 14 touchdown passes against one interception and has accounted for 22 total touchdowns while leading an offense that ranks seventh nationally at 41.4 points per game. Junior wideout Calvin Ridley has 52 receptions for 858 yards and he ranks third in school history with 2,672 receiving yards.

ABOUT AUBURN (9-2 SU, 5-4-2 ATS, 7-4 O/U): Junior running back Kerryon Johnson has been superb with 1,172 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns but the Tigers will need a strong performance from sophomore quarterback Jarrett Stidham (2,445 yards, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions) against Alabama's stingy defense.

"I think it's going to be a big key for us, if we want to move the ball on these guys," Stidham said of having a balanced attack. "Obviously, they're a very, very talented defense. I think if we come and execute, establish a really good tempo, I think it will put us in a good position for the rest of the game."

Auburn is tied for eighth nationally in scoring defense (16.6) and ranks 10th in total defense (302.3) while receiving solid campaigns from junior pass rusher Jeff Holland (team-best nine sacks) and junior middle linebacker Deshaun Davis (team-leading 58 tackles).

TRENDS:

*Auburn is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight conference games.
*Alabama is 12-4 ATS in its last 16 road games.
*The over is 7-1 in Auburn's last eight games.
*Alabama is 1-4 ATS in its last five conference games.

CONSENSUS: About 53 percent of contest players like the Crimson Tide to cover as 4.5-point chalk.

Preview: Magic at 76ers

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

The Philadelphia 76ers will be without sensational rookie Ben Simmons for the first time this season when they continue a six-game homestand against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Simmons is dealing with swelling in his left elbow and will be re-evaluated over the weekend, the team announced Friday, leaving a big hole to fill for one of the NBA's hottest teams.

The 21-year-old is averaging 18.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.1 steals and already owns nine double-doubles to go along with two triple-doubles for Philadelphia, which has won nine of 12 after a 101-81 win over Portland on Wednesday. The Sixers still have big man Joel Embiid, who is averaging 28.4 points and 12.4 boards during a 4-1 stretch and recorded double-doubles in both games he played against the Magic last season. Orlando could be an easy target as it continues a tailspin following a strong start, dropping its seventh in a row with a 118-103 setback at Boston on Friday. Opponents are averaging 115.1 points during the slide.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Orlando), NBCSN Philadelphia

ABOUT THE MAGIC (8-11): Leading scorer Evan Fournier (18.4 points) was limited to seven points on 3-of-13 shooting and Aaron Gordon (17.6) was held to 11 on 2-of-10 against Boston. Center Nikola Vucevic finished with 12 points and also grabbed 11 rebounds to record his third consecutive double-double. Terrence Ross dipped from 22 points in Wednesday's loss at Minnesota to five at Boston, but the veteran is 18-for-28 from the floor over a four-game span.

ABOUT THE 76ERS (10-7): To go along with his gaudy numbers, Embiid is seemingly more comfortable in all phases of the game and is taking a particular amount of pride in his defense. "Not to be cocky, but I think I'm the best defensive player in the league right now," he told reporters Wednesday. "I just want to keep on growing. I'm still getting better. My blocks are a little bit down, but I'm a better rebounder this year. ... I'm doing a lot of things to help the team win, and the guys around me do a lot of things to help me, too. I just want to keep on growing defensively and be the best defensive player in the league. Hopefully, this year I can win (NBA) Defensive Player of the Year." The Sixers have held consecutive opponents under 90 points for the first time since last December after limiting Portland to 33.7 percent shooting.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Orlando has won 14 of the last 17 meetings in Philadelphia.

2. Magic PF Marreese Speights hit 4-of-9 3-pointers Friday and did not attempt a shot inside the arc.

3. Sixers PG T.J. McConnell, who could see an uptick in playing time with Simmons out, had 13 points on 5-of-7 from the field and seven assists off the bench Wednesday.

PREDICTION: Sixers 114, Magic 101

Preview: Spurs at Hornets

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

The Charlotte Hornets pushed the Cleveland Cavaliers to the brink before falling and now face one of the other top teams in the NBA when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Charlotte dropped a 100-99 decision in Cleveland on Friday as its three-game winning streak concluded.

San Antonio, which lost 107-90 to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, has won the past three meetings with the Hornets and that includes a 108-101 victory on Nov. 3 in which Charlotte guard Kemba Walker was limited to 13 points. "He has just steadily become a professional over the years and has taken his craft seriously because he wanted to be an all-around player and not just somebody who can shoot open 3s," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters about the high-scoring Walker. "He's gone to work every day with that thought." Walker tallied just 15 points on 6-of-21 shooting in Friday's setback as center Dwight Howard led the way with 20 points and 13 rebounds. The Spurs haven't played well on the road this season and bring a 3-5 mark into the contest.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (San Antonio), FSN Southeast (Charlotte)

ABOUT THE SPURS (11-7): Fourth-year pro Kyle Anderson has proven to be an asset this season while starting all 18 games in place of injured All-Star small forward Kawhi Leonard. Anderson is shooting 50 percent from the field while averaging 8.8 points and 6.2 rebounds and has scored in double figures in three straight games and five of his past seven. "We're not surprised at all," Popovich said of Anderson's strong performance. "He's just had a hard time getting minutes with Kawhi at that spot. He's always been a good basketball player. I just haven't given him the minutes that he's gotten this year. When Kawhi does come back, I've got some figuring out to do, because he should still be on the court somehow or other."

ABOUT THE HORNETS (8-10): Starting shooting guard Nicolas Batum (elbow) is questionable after sitting out Friday, which would mean another start for Jeremy Lamb despite his struggles against the Cavaliers. Lamb suffered through his worst shooting performance of the season against Cleveland as he scored just 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting and missed a potential game-winning 3-point shot in the final seconds. The 25-year-old has four 20-point outings this season, topped by a season-high 27 on 10-of-15 shooting in the loss to San Antonio earlier this month.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Spurs are 19-8 when visiting Charlotte.

2. Howard is averaging 21.8 points and 15.5 rebounds over the past four contests.

3. San Antonio reserve G Bryn Forbes scored a career-best 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting in the Nov. 3 meeting.

Preview: Trail Blazers at Wizards

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

The Washington Wizards didn't want to blame their latest setback on playing a third game in four days, but fatigue certainly appeared to play a major role in their collapse late in that final contest. With a couple of days off to lick their wounds from a 1-2 road trip, the Wizards attempt to shake off a disheartening overtime defeat in their last time out when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Washington bounced back from Sunday's loss in Toronto with an 11-point victory in Milwaukee on Monday and was on its way to making it two in a row leading by nine with 3 1/2 minutes remaining Wednesday against Charlotte, but the Hornets closed strong and won it in overtime. “We were probably a little weary. … Fatigue was probably a little bit of a factor, but at the same time we’ve got to go out and do whatever it takes to win," Wizards guard Bradley Beal told the Washington Post. The Trail Blazers improved to 2-1 on their five-game road swing following Friday's 127-125 victory over Brooklyn to improve to 4-4 away from home, rallying from a six-point deficit in the last 2 1/2 minutes to pull it out. "We made some good defensive stops in the last minute-and-a-half and were able to convert in the other direction," Portland coach Terry Stotts told reporters.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCSN Northwest (Portland), NBCSN Washington

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (11-8): Jusuf Nurkic stole the show Friday with season highs in points (29) and rebounds (15), tied his season high in blocks (four) and had his second-best shooting performance of the season (12-of-19). "That's who I am. I need to be like this every night. This consistency we're talking about whole year, last year, too ... this team needs me and I need to be better," Nurkic told The Oregonian shortly after converting a three-point play with 30 seconds left to give Portland the lead for good. Stotts started Pat Connaughton over Maurice Harkless for the first time this season, but the Notre Dame product only played 15 minutes and picked up three fouls, overshadowing the fact he converted both of his field-goal attempts.
ABOUT THE WIZARDS (10-8): The short break between games comes at a good time for point guard John Wall, who finished with a season-high 31 points in Wednesday's defeat but continues to deal with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which caused him to miss Sunday's setback versus the Raptors. In his 341st career game, backcourt mate Beal became the youngest player in NBA history (24 years, 145 days old) to hit 700 career 3-pointers, doing so almost two months earlier than previous record-holder Kevin Durant. “That’s pretty cool. He’s a great shooter. I think he should’ve got there probably 25 games ago because he doesn’t shoot enough 3s. I keep telling him you should be averaging nine to 10 a game," Wizards coach Scott Brooks told The Post.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Wizards are allowing opponents to shoot 33.2 percent beyond the arc - the fifth-lowest figure in the league.

2. Portland has yielded more than 100 points in consecutive games after doing so only once over the previous eight contests.

3. Washington C Marcin Gortat started his 100th straight game Wednesday - good for the fourth-longest active streak in the league.

Preview: Raptors at Hawks

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

The Atlanta Hawks haven't experienced much joy this season and take aim at winning back-to-back games for the first time in the campaign when they host the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. Atlanta will try to build off Friday's 116-104 win over the New York Knicks, just its second home win in eight attempts this season.

The Hawks dropped seven of eight games prior to the solid effort against the Knicks as point guard Dennis Schroder continued his strong play with 26 points and eight assists. The 24-year-old Schroder has scored 20 or more points on 10 occasions and is averaging 20.6 points and 8.2 assists over the past five outings. Toronto arrives in town after consecutive losses to open a three-game trip, including Friday's 107-104 loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Raptors boasted a four-game winning streak with an average margin of 13.3 points before the back-to-back setbacks against the New York Knicks and Pacers.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TSN (Toronto), FSN Southeast (Atlanta)

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (11-7): All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan had an uncharacteristically low 13-point outing on 6-of-16 shooting and he was disturbed his squad blew a 10-point halftime advantage. "We've got to come out to start the third quarter like we're down 10 points or something," DeRozan said afterward. "We should come in here and put up a make-believe score at halftime. We have to play with a chip on our shoulder, because it's a critical part of the game." Point guard Kyle Lowry had 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists and has five double-doubles in the past six games - three via rebounds and two on assists.

ABOUT THE HAWKS (4-15): Center Dewayne Dedmon scored 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting and mixed it up with Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis during Friday's victory. "The work Dewayne Dedmon does on both ends of the court, and the effort he gives on Porzingis was just great," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said afterward. "Good team win. A lot of guys played well. It was great to get this win. We will get ready for another one (Saturday)." Dedmon has scored in double digits in nine of the past 10 games and is a stellar 45-of-59 from the field over the past eight contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Hawks won two of last season's three meetings.

2. Atlanta F Taurean Prince is 5-of-21 shooting over the past two games.

3. Toronto swingman CJ Miles missed Friday's game due to the birth of his daughter.

Preview: Celtics at Pacers

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

The Indiana Pacers will try to extend their longest winning streak of the season against the team that recently recorded the longest run in the NBA when the Boston Celtics visit Saturday night. The Pacers' streak hit five in a row with Friday's 107-104 victory over Toronto in the beginning of a stretch in which Indiana plays nine of 11 at home.

Victor Oladipo scored 21 points to lead the way although he suffered a bruised right knee in the fourth quarter and his status is up in the air for Saturday. The Celtics had their 16-game run snapped at Miami on Wednesday but bounced back in fine fashion with a 118-103 win over Orlando at home in a game that was not nearly as close as the final score would indicate. "Our guys came out focused, ready to play," center Al Horford told reporters after matching a career high with 10 assists. "We finally got a (first) half going. That first half was the key for us winning that game." Kyrie Irving scored 30 points and is averaging 32.5 over a four-game span while shooting 64.8 percent for Boston.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCSN Boston, FSN Indiana

ABOUT THE CELTICS (17-3): Boston will be a bit shorthanded in the second half of a back-to-back, as forward Marcus Morris will be held out as he works his way back from knee soreness and Jaylen Brown could miss the game after traveling to Georgia for a funeral. Terry Rozier is one the key reserves who could fill that gap and he is coming off a career-high 23-point effort against the Magic. "I'm not perfect," Rozier told the media, referencing the 22 total points he had over his previous five contests. "I'm going to have tough games. (But) I'll have games like this."

ABOUT THE PACERS (11-8): When Oladipo had to depart, Lance Stephenson stepped in and carried Indiana to the finish line with 13 of his 18 points in the final five minutes. "Even though I couldn't go, there were a lot of guys that stepped up and played great for us; Lance played great," Oladipo told reporters. Stephenson entered Friday with a 7-for-33 showing from 3-point range on the season, but he nailed all four of his attempts versus the Raptors.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Celtics G Marcus Smart went 1-of-7 against Orlando and is shooting 26.5 percent on the season.

2. Pacers F Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 23.7 points over the last three games.

3. The Celtics took all three meetings last season, including a pair of matchups in Indiana.

Preview: Knicks at Rockets

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

After an opening month in which the Houston Rockets adjusted after the loss of Chris Paul, a visit to the New York Knicks to begin November was just the jolt the Western Conference leaders needed to coast through the month. The Rockets have yet to play a close game since Paul returned, and they look to continue their mastery of the Knicks when they meet Saturday in Houston.

The Rockets bounced back from their only losing streak of the season at the end of October with a 22-point victory over New York on Nov. 1 and haven't stopped blowing out the competition since, posting a scoring margin of 16.8 points during their 9-1 surge this month despite a 16-point loss to Toronto on Nov. 14. Paul retuned from his 14-game absence two days later and Houston has won each of those three contests by average of 26 points. The Rockets have also dominated New York for the more than a decade, winning 23 of the last 25 meetings to even the all-time series at 70-70. The Knicks continued to struggle away from Madison Square Garden in Friday's 116-104 defeat in Atlanta, surrendering a 17-point lead in the first quarter to fall to 1-5 on the road.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBA TV, MSG (New York), AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)

ABOUT THE KNICKS (10-8): Courtney Lee enjoyed his highest-scoring performance in 95 games with New York on Friday, connecting on his first eight shots to finish with 26 points on 11-of-14 from the field. Enes Kanter woke up with back spasms and did not start for the first time this season, resulting in Kyle O'Quinn's first start of the season and 10th in three seasons with the Knicks; despite logging his most playing time in November (23 minutes), O'Quinn managed only two points and six rebounds. Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 23.3 points on 48 percent from the field over his last six games since scoring four points on 2-for-11 shooting against Sacramento on Nov. 11.

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (14-4): Eric Gordon (calf) and Ryan Anderson (illness) were sidelined in Wednesday's 125-95 shellacking of Denver, allowing Trevor Ariza to take over their usual sharpshooter role and he knocked down seven 3-pointers en route to 25 points - both season highs - in 35 minutes. Paul has yet to play more than 28 minutes since his return from the knee injury, yet the nine-time All-Star is still averaging 17 points, 9.3 assists and 2.3 steals while also drilling 10 of his 18 3-point attempts. James Harden leads the league in scoring (31.1 points) and assists (9.8), putting him in early position to become the first player since Nate Archibald in 1972-73 to lead the league in both categories in the same season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Rockets F Luc Mbah a Moute recorded a plus-minus of plus-57 against Denver on Wednesday, the best such mark by any player in a game over the last 20 seasons.

2. New York is 2-12 all-time in the Toyota Center.

3. Dating back to the start of last season, Houston is 25-1 when holding an opponent to 100 points or fewer, including 7-1 in 2017-18.

Preview: Thunder at Mavericks

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

Each time it looks as if the star-studded Oklahoma City Thunder have turned a corner, they take one on the chin. The Thunder will have little time to recover from their latest painful setback when they open a two-game road trip at the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.

Two days after knocking off defending champion Golden State by 17 points, the Thunder had a 15-point advantage on Detroit on Friday night before faltering down the stretch in a 99-98 loss, as Russell Westbrook's 3-pointer missed at the buzzer to leave Oklahoma City winless in nine games decided by eight points or fewer. The Mavericks opened 2-14 but they've since won two of three and the one loss was in overtime to the league-leading Boston Celtics. Harrison Barnes' long 3-pointer at the buzzer lifted Dallas to a dramatic 95-94 win in Memphis on Wednesday. Paul George scored 37 points to lead the Thunder to a 112-99 win over the Mavericks at home earlier this month - their seventh victory in the last eight meetings between the teams.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FSN Oklahoma, FSN Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE THUNDER (8-10): Westbrook's miss on the potential game-winner left him 1-for-10 from 3-point distance and put a damper on his latest triple-double (27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds). The reigning MVP is shooting 35.1 percent during Oklahoma City's current 1-3 stretch - including 4-of-25 from long distance. Westbrook was the only Thunder starter to get to the foul line Friday night and Jerami Grant took - and missed - the lone attempt by the reserves as the squad finished with a season-low eight free throws.

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (4-15): Barnes was averaging 16.6 points on 37.9 percent shooting at the end of October, but he's at 21.6 and 49.7, respectively, in November - a big reason for Dallas' increased competitiveness of late. The Mavericks have also held their last three opponents to an average of 94.3 points. "Defensively, we started to get stop after stop," guard J.J. Barea told reporters after the win over Memphis. "It worked out. We took the lead finally, and we were able to play in front for a little bit. That always helps."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Thunder F Carmelo Anthony needs eight points to surpass Ray Allen (24,505) and move into 23rd place on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

2. Oklahoma City C Steven Adams has back-to-back double-doubles after picking up 12 points and 12 boards versus Detroit.

3. Mavericks SG Wesley Matthews is averaging 13.5 points at home, compared to 8.8 on the road.

PREDICTION: Thunder 103, Mavericks 101

Preview: Pelicans at Warriors

Gracenote
Nov 25, 2017

Kevin Durant's sprained left ankle will likely keep him out of the lineup for the third time in four games when the Golden State Warriors host the rising New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Durant was termed doubtful by coach Steve Kerr after sitting out Friday, while fellow forward Draymond Green (rest) was also out of the lineup as the Warriors steamrolled the Chicago Bulls 143-94.

"We shouldn't have played him Wednesday (against Oklahoma City)," Kerr said after Friday's game in regard to Durant. "I thought he was fine. We thought he was fine but then he got a little sore afterward. I'm sure the league is happy with us since we played him in their marquee game with (Russell Westbrook)." Golden State has won eight straight games against the Pelicans and 18 of the last 19 meetings, and warmed up for the contest with its largest winning margin (49 points) of the season. New Orleans has won three consecutive games behind the star big men Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, and its 11-8 record represents its best 19-game start since a 13-6 mark in 2010-11 in Chris Paul's final season with the franchise. The Pelicans built a 30-point halftime lead en route to hammering the Phoenix Suns 115-91 on Friday.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, FSN New Orleans, NBCSN Bay Area (Golden State)

ABOUT THE PELICANS (11-8): Davis and Cousins each scored 35 points and combined for 29 rebounds (Davis had 15) in a 128-120 home loss to the Warriors on Oct. 20 - a game New Orleans led by 13 after a 39-point opening quarter. The Pelicans scored at will in Friday's victory over the Suns with Davis leading the way with 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting and Cousins contributing 19 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. "We are just playing for each other, trusting each other and whoever is open gets the ball," Davis said afterward. "We passed up good shots for great shots and trust our teammate to make the right play. We don't care who scores as long as the ball goes in the basket."

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (14-5): Point guard Stephen Curry scored 26 of his 33 points in the second quarter against Chicago and shooting guard Klay Thompson added 29 points on 12-of-17 shooting. Meanwhile, Kerr had to do some heavy persuasion but has gotten Green to accept there will be times when he will be held out for rest. "It's something I'm going to do periodically during the year. Last year during the (NBA) Finals I thought there were games where Draymond, we were almost piecing him together," Kerr said. "Because of how hard he plays and because the nature of his game we just need to give him a rest once in a while. I planned this one a week ago."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Pelicans have dropped their last nine visits to Oakland.

2. Little-used rookie PF Jordan Bell made his first NBA start in place of Green and had six blocked shots to go with seven points and six rebounds.

3. New Orleans backup C Omer Asik (six points in 11 minutes) played Friday for the first time since contracting a bacterial infection in Mexico during February's All-Star break.

Preview: Bucks at Jazz

Gracenote
Nov 24, 2017

Giannis Antetokounmpo took a break from carrying the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and watched as other teammates stepped up to lead the team to a win. Antetokounmpo will try to get the same support when he hopefully returns to the court as the Bucks visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Antetokounmpo, who leads Milwaukee in scoring (29.7 points), rebounding (10.3) and blocks (1.9) sat out the opener of the road trip on Wednesday in Phoenix to rest a sore knee and watched Khris Middleton go off for 40 points while Eric Bledsoe chipped in 30. "We needed it for us in the worst way," Middleton told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Everybody came in and just competed today. It was a tough game, we knew that coming in, and somehow we won." The Jazz sandwiched a bad loss around a pair of blowout wins in their last three games and began a three-game homestand with a 110-80 thrashing of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The win improved Utah to 3-4 in seven games without center and defensive anchor Rudy Gobert, who is expected to be out another month with a knee injury.
TV: 9 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah)

ABOUT THE BUCKS (9-8): Milwaukee averaged 83.5 points in a pair of losses before finding more scoring in the 113-107 overtime triumph over the Suns. Middleton did his best Antetokounmpo impression with 40 points, nine rebounds, four steals and three assists in the win and is averaging 26.3 points on 55.6 percent shooting over the last four games. Bledsoe's 30 points on Wednesday doubled his previous high since debuting with the Bucks on Nov. 10, and the Bucks are 5-2 since he joined the lineup.
ABOUT THE JAZZ (8-11): Power forward Derrick Favors is trying to pick up the slack for Gobert and delivered 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting and seven rebounds in Wednesday's win. Utah seems to go as Favors goes in Gobert's absence, and he is averaging 24 points in the three wins but just 9.8 points in four losses since the injury to his frontcourt partner. Also fighting through some inconsistency is rookie guard Donovan Mitchell, who slumped to four points on 1-of-10 shooting on Wednesday and is shooting 34.3 percent from the floor over his last five games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bucks C Thon Maker recorded season highs of 16 points and eight rebounds on Wednesday.

2. Milwaukee PG Matthew Dellavedova (knee), PF John Henson (eye) and PG Gary Payton II (ankle) are all questionable for Saturday.

3. Utah took the last six in the series and won the two meetings last season by an average of 15 points.
