    Preview: Clippers at Heat
    Gracenote
    Dec 16, 2017

    Erik Spoelstra looks to become the winningest coach in franchise history when the Miami Heat host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Spoelstra picked up win No. 454 on Friday to move into a tie with current team president Pat Riley atop the Heat's victory list.

    Riley served as a mentor to Spoelstra, so the 47-year-old feels a bit odd to be on the verge of surpassing the Hall of Famer on the team ledger. "That would seem like a misprint to me," Spoelstra said about matching Riley with the 104-98 win over the Charlotte Hornets. "Pat has meant everything to me as a coach and as a mentor. I want to win (Saturday) night, but I don't want to pass Coach Riley in wins. We all think of him as the guy who should have all the records." The Heat defeated the Clippers 104-101 on Nov. 5 in Los Angeles and are looking to sweep the season series. The Clippers lost to the Washington Wizards 100-91 on Friday as their three-game winning streak ended.

    TV: 8 p.m. ET, Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), FSN Sun (Miami)

    ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (11-16): The injury-ravaged team saw guard Austin Rivers (concussion) join the ailing list that includes forwards Blake Griffin (knee) and Danilo Gallinari (glute) and point guard Patrick Beverley (knee). Rivers will likely miss his second straight game unless he clears the protocol prior to Saturday's game, but point guard Milos Teodosic (recently back from a foot injury) will be available against the Heat after sitting out Friday for rest. Shooting guard Lou Williams scored 23 points against Washington for his seventh 20-point outing in the past nine games and he is averaging 25.8 points during the stretch.

    ABOUT THE HEAT (14-14): Miami featured a balanced attack on Friday with seven players scoring in double digits and reserve guards Wayne Ellington and Tyler Johnson leading the way with 16 points apiece. The Heat continue to play without center Hassan Whiteside (sidelined for eight games with a knee injury) and forward Justise Winslow (last two due to knee issues), making the strong 3-point shooting by Johnson (4-of-4) and Ellington (5-of-10) on Friday extra timely. "When you have guys coming off the bench who can (combine) for 20 in a quarter, it's tough," reserve center Kelly Olynyk told reporters of the backcourt tandem. "They are making guys pay and making it easier for everybody else."

    BUZZER BEATERS

    1. The Clippers have won their past three visits to Miami.

    2. Heat PG Goran Dragic is averaging just 9.5 points on 6-of-22 shooting over the past two games.

    3. Los Angeles SF Wesley Johnson is 3-of-17 shooting over the past three games.

    PREDICTION: Heat 112, Clippers 108

    Preview: Bucks at Rockets
    Gracenote
    Dec 16, 2017

    The soaring Houston Rockets strive to stretch their winning streak to 13 games when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Houston delivered a 124-109 trouncing of the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, marking its 10th double-digit win during the impressive stretch of victories.

    The Western Conference-leading Rockets led by as many as 28 points while dismantling the Spurs on Friday. "We have so many talented guys on this team that anyone can come in and have an impact on the game," star guard James Harden said in a postgame television interview. "We just take it one night at a time. ... We just want it to be at a high level and play for each other." Harden averaged 32 points and 10 assists in two games against the Bucks last season and Milwaukee could be in trouble after giving up 115 points in each of its last two games - losses to the New Orleans Pelicans (Wednesday) and Chicago Bulls (Friday). The Bucks are thriving on offense by scoring 100 or more in 11 consecutive games, the franchise's best streak since a 12-game run during the 1990-91 campaign.

    TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), AT&T Sports Net Southwest (Houston)

    ABOUT THE BUCKS (15-12): The rise of the Milwaukee offense was aided with the acquisition of guard Eric Bledsoe to go with star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and solid swingman Khris Middleton "You've got three guys playing at a high level with Bled, Khris and Giannis," coach Jason Kidd told reporters. "Sharing the ball is the key, and being able to make your free throws. Just making a play for a teammate and finding the open guy. Guys are moving the ball. Right now, the ball is going in for us." Antetokounmpo and Middleton each scored 29 points in Friday's 115-109 loss to the Bulls while Bledsoe was limited to 12 points.

    ABOUT THE ROCKETS (23-4): Point guard Chris Paul enjoyed a stellar effort against San Antonio with 28 points, eight assists and a season-best seven steals - he has posted that line six times over the last 10 years while the rest of the NBA has done so four times combined - and Houston improved to 13-0 with the nine-time All-Star in the lineup. Paul is averaging 26.3 points, eight assists and 3.5 steals over the past four games and has made a season-high five 3-pointers in each of the past two contests. Harden put up 28 points despite 6-of-18 shooting and has scored 20 or more in every game this season.

    BUZZER BEATERS

    1. Antetokounmpo averaged 31.5 points, nine rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 blocks as the teams split last season's two meetings.

    2. Houston C Clint Capela made 30-of-35 shots over the last four contests and is averaging 16.5 points and 9.8 rebounds during the stretch.

    3. Milwaukee swingman Tony Snell (knee) is expected to miss his fifth consecutive game.

    Preview: Suns at Timberwolves
    Gracenote
    Dec 15, 2017

    The Minnesota Timberwolves are at their best when Karl-Anthony Towns is dominating in the frontcourt, and he is hot lately. Towns will try to lead the Timberwolves to back-to-back wins when they host the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.

    Towns joined Kevin Garnett as the only players in franchise history to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks when he went for 30, 14, five and five in a 119-96 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Minnesota seems to go as Towns goes, and he is averaging 26.3 points on 66.7 percent shooting in the last three wins while totaling 26 points on 8-of-22 shooting in the last two losses. The Suns are missing some offensive firepower without shooting guard Devin Booker (groin), who is expected to be out at least another week, and are losers of five in a row. Phoenix averages 106.6 points on the season but has seen that number drop to 100.3 in the four games without Booker.

    TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, FS North (Minnesota)

    ABOUT THE SUNS (9-21): Phoenix's best offensive effort since Booker went down came on Wednesday at home against Toronto, when Troy Daniels enjoyed a career night in a 115-109 loss. Daniels scored 32 points on 11-of-16 shooting in 32 minutes off the bench, including 7-of-10 from 3-point range. "At the end of the day, as a player, you want to win," Daniels told reporters. "I think we're putting ourselves in a position to win, we just have to get over that hump. We're playing our tails off. We'll figure it out."

    ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (17-12): Towns isn't the only former No. 1 overall pick on the roster, and swingman Andrew Wiggins finally seems to be pulling himself out of a shooting slump. The 2014 No.1 pick out of Kansas scored 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting on Thursday - snapping a five-game streak of shooting under 50 percent - and went 3-of-4 from 3-point range after knocking down 2-of-20 in the previous five contests. Wiggins is playing on the opposite wing from Jimmy Butler, who is averaging 26.4 points on 51.2 percent shooting in seven games this month.

    BUZZER BEATERS

    1. Suns rookie SF Josh Jackson is 3-of-21 from the field over the last two contests, including an 0-of-7 effort on Wednesday.

    2. Minnesota SG Jamal Crawford totaled four points on 2-of-10 shooting over the last two games.

    3. Wiggins, Towns and Butler combined for 78 points in a 119-108 home win over Phoenix on Nov. 26.

    Kawhi Leonard has been sharp in limited minutes since his return earlier this week, but his contributions have been mostly for naught as the San Antonio Spurs have dropped consecutive games for the first time since a four-game slide early in the season. The Spurs will be without their two-time All-Star on Saturday as he sits out the tail end of a back-to-back against the visiting Dallas Mavericks.

    Leonard missed the team's first 27 games while completing his recovery from a right quadriceps injury before making his season debut Tuesday in Dallas, but his 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting and six rebounds in 16 minutes were not enough to keep San Antonio from falling 95-89. Although he produced 12 points on 5-of-9 from the field over 17 minutes Friday, the Spurs' defense gave up a season-high point total to the Houston Rockets in a 124-109 defeat. The Mavericks were unable to follow up their surprise success against San Antonio at Golden State on Thursday, as the Warriors outscored them by 15 in the second half after Dallas played the world champions to a draw through two quarters. "They're a talented team and we let a few miscommunications let them get a run going, and we just couldn't really stop them," Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes told reporters.

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

    ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (8-21): Point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) has already been ruled out for Saturday - his fifth straight absence; Yogi Ferrell has taken on most of the rookie's production over the last three games, averaging 13 points while shooting 47.2 percent from the field. Dirk Nowitzki bounced back from a 1-for-8, six-point effort versus the Spurs with 18 points against the Warriors - one shy of his season high - on 6-for-13 from the field and nine boards in 27 minutes. Barnes struggled from the field Thursday (6-for-18), but he still managed to produce his 20th double-digit scoring performance in 21 games since the beginning of November; the 25-year-old has managed at least 12 points in all but two of 29 games.

    ABOUT THE SPURS (19-10): Leonard will not play back-to-backs anytime soon, and while San Antonio is obviously happy to get its star forward back, getting him back to speed can't come soon enough for coach Gregg Popovich. "It's a pain in the (behind) for everybody. Rotations are screwed up. If a guy is only going to play so many minutes, do you go to him the whole time to get him going and get him back in the flow? Do you just do what you usually do? It makes it a little bit tough that way," Popovich told the San Antonio Express-News. Tony Parker (rest) and Kyle Anderson (sprained MCL) are also expected to sit out Saturday as well, but the Spurs are hopeful Anderson can return Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

    BUZZER BEATERS

    1. Spurs PF LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging 29.3 points in three games against the Mavericks this season - his most against any opponent.

    2. Following a three-game stretch in which he shot a combined 8-for-26 from the field and averaged eight points, Mavericks G J.J. Barea is averaging 15.3 points on 17-for-29 shooting over his last three outings.

    3. Dallas (eight) and San Antonio (10) combined for only 18 turnovers in Tuesday's meeting.

    PREDICTION: Spurs 96, Mavericks 93
