Laurel - Race #3 - Post: 1:30pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $22,000 Class Rating: 69

Rating: 3

#7 EYESFIRST (ML=3/1)
#3 HERMANS GOLD (ML=10/1)


EYESFIRST - Outran his odds in his first start. Look for another strong effort today. Aboard this horse on November 13th and Prado is right back in the irons this time. Prado and Salzman getting together are a horseplayer's friend. This thoroughbred isn't the M/L favorite, but finished ahead of today's M/L favorite in his last race (Nov 13th at Laurel). This colt is in superb form right now. Ran third last race out and comes back quickly. You have to really like that recent race figure, 62, which is the top last race speed figure of this field. HERMANS GOLD - Trainer Robb gave this gelding a nice long drill. That's a really good sign.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 HASTA AHORA (ML=5/2), #2X SIR BRAHMS (ML=5/2), #6 BUSTIN TO BE BAD (ML=9/2),

HASTA AHORA - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple of months in a sprint affair to be any kind of value at low odds in a sprint. Tough to play any horse to turn things around if there is no value to taking the risk. This gelding notched a speed figure in his last race which probably isn't good enough in today's race. SIR BRAHMS - Not probable that this equine will finish better than he did last time out of the box when placing sixth. BUSTIN TO BE BAD - Don't think this mount is worth 9/2 in this event.

# 3 AILANIS LITTLE BAY 4/1

# 4 THE REAL QUEEN B 5/2

# 1 JODYS POINT 7/2

I've got to go with AILANIS LITTLE BAY. Will most likely be one of the early speedsters of the bunch going into the halfway point of the contest. Posted a formidable speed figure in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this affair. Is difficult not to examine based on speed figures which have been formidable - 65 avg - of late. THE REAL QUEEN B - Samuels ought to be able to get this filly to break out early in this race. Recorded a formidable speed figure in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. JODYS POINT - Must be given a chance - I like the figures from the last contest.

Rating:4

#8 TEN SILVER DOLLARS (ML=8/1)
#1 MAJESTIC KOA (ML=20/1)
#3 PRETTY VENEZUELA (ML=7/2)


TEN SILVER DOLLARS - This mare is in nice form. Finished second on Nov 20th. I think that a sprinter coming off a layoff will usually run her best in the 3rd or 4th start back. MAJESTIC KOA - I definitely see good luck for this thoroughbred right here. PRETTY VENEZUELA - The November 19th affair at Parx Racing was at a class level of (75). Dropping down the ladder based on class considerably, so she should be in a good spot. Have to make this filly a win candidate; she comes off a sharp contest on November 19th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 VALIANT SPIRIT (ML=8/5), #9 LITTLE ALANA (ML=9/2),

VALIANT SPIRIT - This filly is always around, but just doesn't win. Hard to play her on the win end. LITTLE ALANA - Tough for anyone who saw this questionable contender in her last contest to wager on her in today's event.

# 4 HOW ABOUT HIM 5/1

# 5 LASSIE'S REWARD 6/1

# 3 SERBIAN SYCLONE 9/5

I've got to go with HOW ABOUT HIM. Has solid front speed and should fare solidly against this field. Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Rarick have shown sharp results lately. Could best this group based on the speed fig - 88 - of his last contest. LASSIE'S REWARD - Has respectable early lick and ought to fare soundly versus this group. Has a sharp record at the distance and surface, which makes me back this gelding. SERBIAN SYCLONE - He has earned competitive figures under today's conditions and should fare well versus this group. Overall the speed figures of this animal look strong in this contest.

Colin Cowherd


Steelers (-5.5) at Bengals

Colin doesn’t like swallowing points, but absolutely loves Steelers laying 5.5 on the road against AFC North rival Cincinnati in what might be his favorite pick of the year.

Pittsburgh is 4-2 ATS over their last 6, and 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 on the road in Cincy. They’re 6-0 when Le’Veon Bell has 100+ scrimmage yards this year, and Cincinnati’s defense has allowed 146.2 Rush YPG over their last 6 games. In his first game against the Bengals in Week 7, Bell racked up 192 total scrimmage yards, and has averaged 119.8 YPG with 4 touchdowns in his last 4 road games.

Pittsburgh should be able to pound the rock all day and the defense should stifle Andy Dalton.

Take the Steelers, lay the 5.5.

34-23, Steelers.

NBA (519) DETROIT PISTONS VS (520) SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Take: UNDER

Reason: Your free play for Monday, December 4, 2017 is in the NBA contest between the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs. Detroit is having an excellent season at 14-8 S/U and 14-7-1 ATS. Tonight they face San Antonio (15-7 S/U, 11-10-1 ATS) which had to play last night at Oklahoma City. This makes the Spurs in the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here while Detroit had a day off. Anytime a team plays the 2nd of a back-to-back spot I look for them to slow down the next game. The Pistons have been a very good Under team. They are 1-7 O/U their last eight road games and 1-11-1 their last 13 against the Southwest division. These teams have gone UNDER in four of their last five meetings. That's just what I will be looking for tonight, take the UNDER.

JOEY JUICE

Both Milwaukee and Boston are coming off of underachieving, easy wins that should have been much easier.

Let's face it, the Celtics are a superpower this year, the only surprise is that it has been their defense not their offense that is responsible for this success.

Milwaukee is on an uptick ever since they added Bledsoe to their starting lineup. However that won't be enough to stop this Boston team at home where they are so very tough and determined to win in front of their faithful .

A quick look inside the numbers confirms a Boston victory is most probable.

Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Boston is the free play.

3* BOSTON

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Detroit Pistons +3.5

The San Antonio Spurs are in a tough spot here after losing 87-90 in Oklahoma City last night. They will now be playing their 3rd game in 4 days and won’t have much energy left to face the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are have been one of the best teams in the NBA up to this point, going 14-8 SU & 14-7-1 ATS in their 22 games. They will be hungry after losing two straight road games to Washington and Philadelphia coming in, and they are the fresher team after having yesterday off. The Pistons are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than 60%. Give me Detroit.

ANDRE RAMIREZ

BENGALS +6

Both teams are coming in with heavy injuries, but the Steelers will be light!
For the Steelers, two players have already been ruled out for this prime-time game, Joe Haden(fibula) and Vance McDonald (ankle). There were a pair of starters dealing with ankle injuries, and Mike Mitchell has been listed as doubtful for the AFC grudge match.
The biggest injury to watch will be the toe injury of Antonio Brown. After being a full participant in the team’s first practice of the week, he missed the following practices and is officially listed as questionable. While many are suggesting the injury is minor, toe injuries have been known to linger and cause a major roadblock to players getting back on the field.
Not all the news was bad for the Steelers, and the good news was that Ryan Shazier (ankle) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) were not on the final report, meaning they’ll be in the lineup when the two division rivals kickoff.
The extra week to prepare and rest up is a big plus for Cincinnati in this matchup, while home-field advantage serves as a nice bonus for Pittsburgh. Defensively, these teams are about as evenly matched as you can get. But the Steelers should have the edge on offense if they place an emphasis on getting the football into the hands of Le’Veon Bell as much as possible. That should make the difference as Pittsburgh earns another close, hard-fought, win in this storied rivalry on Sunday.
This game will be close, and will be decided by a field goal.

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Dallas Mavericks -3

The Dallas Mavericks are playing their best basketball of the season right now. They are 4-3 SU & 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall. They have blowout home wins over Milwaukee (by 32), Oklahoma City (by 16) and the LA Clippers (by 26) during this stretch.
Now they face a Denver Nuggets team that is reeling with the losses of their two best players. Both Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic are out indefinitely with wrist and ankle injuries, respectively. Wilson Chandler is also questionable with a back injury. You just can’t replace two players the caliber of Millsap and Jokic.
Denver is 0-7 ATS off a win by 10 points or more this season. It is coming back to lose by a whopping 14.9 points per game on average in this spot. The Mavericks are 14-6 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Nuggets are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six trips to Dallas. The home team is 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
Plays on home favorites (Dallas) - off a home blowout win by 20 points or more against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points are 61-27 (69.3%) ATS since 1996. Bet the Mavericks Monday.

NBA | Dec 04, 2017
Wolves vs. Grizzlies
Wolves-2½

We're going against the Grizzlies again. The team is in free-fall and we don't expect improvements until Mike Conley returns from an achilles injury. Minnesota played and won last night and we look for another strong effort on Monday. Memphis has dropped 11 straight games (1-9-1 ATS) and averaged just 89 ppg before a 116-111 loss to Cleveland over the weekend. We don't put much into the 111 point effort when we consider the Cavs could have won that game by 30+ if they didn't let off the gas. The Grizzlies have lost eight in a row ATS at home and we'll go against them again. I'm recommending a play on Minnesota minus the points. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

1* on Phoenix Suns +10.5

The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to get too much love from oddsmakers. They are now double-digit home favorites over the Phoenix Suns tonight. This is a Suns team that went into Boston on Saturday and nearly pulled the upset, losing just 111-116 as 12.5-point dogs. I have no doubt they can hang around with the 76ers as well. The Suns are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning record. The Suns are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings with Philadelphia. Take Phoenix.

Spurs-3½

Gregg Popovich is already starting to rest players. With a tough matchup against the Pistons and big man Andre Drummond on tap for tonight, LaMarcus Aldridge was held out of Sunday night’s game against Oklahoma City. The Spurs still played the Thunder tough (losing by 3), but it should pay benefits against the Pistons. Heading into Sunday, San Antonio had won four straight, and now the Spurs have held opponents to under 100 points in 7 of the last 10 games – and that’s without their best defensive player, injured forward Kawhi Leonard. SA should have enough to cover the 3.5.

NHL Monday Free Pick Boston Bruins Money Line (+) @ Nashville Predators @ 8:05 ET

Nashville has a big game with division rival Dallas tomorrow night. The Predators are also coming off of a win over Anaheim and that was a big game as they had battled the Ducks in the Western Conference Finals last season. This is a classic flat spot for the Preds here given the scheduling situation while the Bruins don't play again until Thursday at home against Arizona. Rest assured there is no lookahead for Boston here given that the league-worst Coyotes await 3 days away. The Bruins have won 6 of 7 and I love the small dog price here as many will grab the "bait" and take the Predators on home ice laying a small price. Nashville has lost 18 of 30 (-$12,000) in December action. The Bruins have won 30 of 48 (+$14,400) road games with a posted total of 5.5 goals. Free Pick on BOSTON

Preview: Magic at HornetsGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

The slumping Charlotte Hornets could get leading scorer Kemba Walker back in the lineup Monday night when they host the Orlando Magic. Walker, who is averaging 22.3 points and scored 34 in a 120-113 victory over Orlando on Oct. 29, practiced fully on Sunday and is on track to return after missing the previous two games with a sore left shoulder.

Walker’s presence would be a welcome sight for the Hornets, who have dropped four in a row to fall below the Magic in the Southeast Division after Friday’s 105-100 setback at Miami in which they allowed 14 makes from 3-point range. “I’m good. Just get back out there and do what I do and be a leader. We’ve been struggling lately,” Walker told the Charlotte Observer. “I hate missing games. It was tough watching, especially because we lost.” Walker might be facing a rejuvenated Orlando team, which won for only the second time in 12 games after outlasting New York 105-100 on Sunday with 34 points and 12 rebounds from center Nikola Vucevic and just enough improvement on defense. “We’ve gotta start defending, even better than we did (Sunday),” Orlando coach Frank Vogel told reporters. “We made some progress (against the Knicks), but we’ve got to be better.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Orlando), FSN Southeast (Charlotte)

ABOUT MAGIC (10-14): Vucevic rebounded from a season-low six points against Golden State on Friday by draining 13-of-19 from the field against the Knicks while adding three assists and a pair of blocks. Aaron Gordon cooled off a bit with just 10 points Sunday after scoring 69 in the previous two combined and Evan Fournier has posted back-to-back 20-point outings for the first time since stringing six together from Oct. 24-Nov. 3. Point guard Elfrid Payton has shot at least 50 percent from the field in six straight games and is averaging 15.5 points during that stretch.

ABOUT HORNETS (8-13): Veteran center Dwight Howard saw his six-game streak of double-doubles end Friday as he was held to 10 points and nine boards, but is in the top 10 of the league in rebounding (12.5) and field-goal percentage (58 percent).

Preview: Knicks at PacersGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

Victor Oladipo looks to follow up his best scoring night of the season and break his team out of a mini-slump when the Indiana Pacers host the injury-depleted New York Knicks on Monday. Oladipo scored 36 points on 14-of-22 shooting while adding seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks in Friday’s 120-115 setback at Toronto - the Pacers’ third loss in four contests.

“I was just trying to do whatever it takes to keep us going, to keep us in the game,” Oladipo, who is averaging 23.4 points in his first season with Indiana, told reporters after the defeat. “It was a tough loss. We have to learn from it.” The Pacers must be better inside after giving up 70 points in the paint Friday, but Indiana won’t have to face New York’s top two scorers. Kristaps Porzingis (25.8), who recorded 40 points in a 108-101 win over the Pacers on Nov. 5, missed Sunday’s loss to Orlando with an ankle injury while Tim Hardaway Jr. (17.8) sat out with a left leg ailment and the Knicks told reporters both won’t make the trip to Indiana. New York has dropped four of its last five contests overall and four straight on the road.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), FSN Indiana

ABOUT THE KNICKS (11-11): Forward Michael Beasley scored 21 in the 105-100 loss to the Magic on Sunday - his second-highest total of the season - and Enes Kanter registered 18 points and 16 rebounds for his second straight double-double after missing the previous three games with injury. Courtney Lee added 19 points in the loss and is averaging 18.6 in his last five games while Lance Thomas came off the bench to score a season-high 11. The good news Sunday was rookie Frank Ntilikina returning to the lineup after missing just one game with an ankle injury and contributing nine points in 16 minutes.

ABOUT THE PACERS (12-11): Center Myles Turner has been bothered by a sore knee, but is still averaging 17.3 points over the last four games and is expected to be in the lineup against the Knicks. “I’ve got two days to recover, it’s a bruise, swelling wasn’t an issue,” Turner told the Indianapolis Star on Friday. “I pretty much knew I was going to play. It’s going to take way more than that to keep me out.” Bojan Bogdanovic (14.8 points) hopes to recover from a 2-for-11 shooting performance against Toronto and Domantas Sabonis (12.5 points, 8.7 rebounds) was 4-for-14 in the last two.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. New York’s rookie SG Damyean Dotson made his first start Sunday in Hardaway’s spot and scored two points in 22 minutes.

2. The Knicks have won the last three meetings, including a 109-103 win at Indiana last January.

3. Pacers PF Thaddeus Young is averaging 17.5 points on 17-of-28 from the field in his last two contests.

Preview: Suns at 76ersGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers are both trying to build young rosters into playoff contenders, one is just doing it better right now. The 76ers will try to continue their success at home when they host the Suns on Monday.

Philadelphia is 5-1 in its last six home games and only lost three times in its last 10 games overall -- to the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. "I think the thing that I most appreciate is the vocal side of this building, the ability to get low, get high, it really wears its heart on its sleeve," 76ers coach Brett Brown told reporters of the home arena. "We feel it. You're on the sideline, you feel it. To ultimately be able to close out a game, and give these amazingly passionate fans something to walk out of the building and be proud of is fantastic." The Suns fell to 1-3 on their six-game road trip with a 116-111 loss at Boston on Saturday and surrendered an average of 122 points in the three losses on the trip. Phoenix is last in the NBA in average points allowed (115.8) and allowed the Celtics to shoot 52.5 percent from the field.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Arizona (Phoenix), NBCS Philadelphia

ABOUT THE SUNS (8-16): Phoenix nearly erased a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter at Boston and feels like it missed an opportunity to knock off the team with the best record in the NBA. "We competed well, we've just got to not make mistakes and compete for more possessions than we did tonight," interim coach Jay Triano told reporters after the game. "It's just understanding the game and what's available and not making mistakes down the stretch. Our discipline has to be better." Shooting guard Devin Booker poured in 39 points on 16-of-29 shooting in Boston and is averaging 31 points on 55 percent shooting over the last three games.
ABOUT THE 76ERS (13-9): Philadelphia already seems to be preparing itself for a trip to the playoffs, and every win is part of a learning process that will help it in the spring. The 76ers rode 25 points and 10 rebounds from center Joel Embiid to a 108-103 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday, pulling it out in the fourth quarter after squandering a lead in the third. "That's a good win for us," Embiid told reporters. "Getting those wins against what could be (a playoff team) is always good, learning the style of play."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Suns C Tyson Chandler grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds on Saturday in his second double-double of the season.

2. 76ers rookie PG Ben Simmons scored five points on Saturday -- his first game scoring in single digits.

3. Phoenix snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with a 123-116 home win over Philadelphia on Dec. 23, 2016.

Preview: Nets at HawksGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

There have not been many positives for the Atlanta Hawks with just five wins in 22 games, but they will look to replicate their performance against the Brooklyn Nets in the second half of a home-and-home series Monday. After losing starting center Dewayne Dedmon on Wednesday and rookie standout John Collins a day later to injuries, the Hawks beat the Nets in Brooklyn 114-102 on Saturday as five Atlanta players scored in double figures.

“It’s a good win for us,” Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters after his team put away the victory with an 18-3 run after the Nets pulled within two points early in the fourth quarter. “To actually finish a game and get a win is good for our group.” The Nets fell for the fifth time in their past seven contests, committing 19 turnovers while struggling to contain Atlanta on defense. “I don’t think we could really guard them,” Nets coach Kenny Atkinson told the media afterward. Brooklyn matched a season high with 17 made 3-pointers in the defeat as reserve Joe Harris connected on four.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, YES (New York), FSN Southeast (Atlanta)

ABOUT THE NETS (8-14): Harris is shooting 46.7 percent from 3-point range in his past five games, averaging 12 points per game in that span. Forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored nine points in 21 minutes off the bench after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. Former Atlanta forward DeMarre Carroll is enjoying a solid first season with Brooklyn, averaging 14 points and seven rebounds.

ABOUT THE HAWKS (5-17): Forward Luke Babbitt came off the bench to hit four 3-pointers Saturday, finishing with 20 points to help support guard Dennis Schroder’s game-high 24 points. Forward DeAndre Bembry added 12 points off the bench on 5-of-11 shooting, setting or matching career highs in points, field goals made and steals (two). Atlanta was tied for sixth in the NBA in 3-point shooting (38.2 percent) entering Sunday.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Brooklyn’s next victory will be its ninth of the season, a mark the Nets did not reach last season until Jan. 20.

2. Hawks C Miles Plumlee played a season-high 19 minutes Saturday, finishing with six points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots.

3. Atlanta’s victory Saturday snapped a three-game losing streak to the Nets.

Preview: Bucks at CelticsGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

The Boston Celtics will try to clinch a winning homestand and avenge their first loss at TD Garden this season when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. After dropping the opener of their five-game stay in Boston, the Celtics averaged 112 points in consecutive wins over Philadelphia and Phoenix.

Al Horford was one of six Boston players in double figures in Saturday's 116-111 triumph over the Suns and he handed out a career-high 11 assists as Boston improved to 10-2 at home. "I'm just trying to play through our offense, make the right plays and try to push the pace," Horford told reporters. "We wanted to make sure we had some good ball movement. We want to continue to get better as a group moving the ball, and I think today we took a big step in that direction." The Celtics were 0-1 at home following a 108-100 loss to the Bucks on Oct. 18, and Milwaukee returns to Boston riding an 8-3 surge. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 37 points and 13 rebounds in the earlier win at TD Garden and 28 and 10 in a home loss to the Celtics eight days later, posted his 10th double-double in Saturday's 109-104 win over Sacramento.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCSN Boston

ABOUT THE BUCKS (12-9): Antetokounmpo has been a force all season, but Khris Middleton's ability to provide consistent support has allowed Milwaukee - which entered Sunday ranked fourth in the NBA in shooting (48 percent) and seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.67) - to become a much more efficient offense. Middleton is shooting 59 percent from the floor and 9-for-16 from long range during the three-game winning streak, and the Texas A&M product is averaging 25.5 points over the last two contests as he and his teammates continue to meld with new point guard Eric Bledsoe. "It's great. We still got a long way to go," Middleton said after the Bucks improved to 8-3 since installing Bledsoe in the starting lineup. "It's still only been 11 games. You never get to know a player or a team until a full season. We still have a lot to learn a lot about one another."

ABOUT THE CELTICS (20-4): Kyrie Irving led Boston with 19 points and again was clutch down the stretch versus Phoenix, but rookie Jayson Tatum is getting nearly as many touches with the game on the line. "Especially for a rookie coming in, that's been special," guard Jaylen Brown told ESPN.com. "I feel like him and Kyrie, they kinda get going in the fourth quarter. We need those plays at the end. They're tough shot-makers and have the ability to score like the top percentile of the league so, when they get going, it's hard to stop them." Tatum's late two-handed slam helped the Celtics hold off a Suns rally and finished a 15-point effort for the 19-year-old Tatum, who has scored in double figures in 12 consecutive games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Horford had 27 points and nine rebounds in the 96-89 win at Milwaukee on Oct. 26

2. Bledsoe is averaging 22.6 points on 52 percent shooting over the last five games.

3. Antetokounmpo is second in the NBA in scoring (29.4), ninth in steals (1.8) and 15th in field-goal percentage (54.6) entering Sunday.

Preview: Cavaliers at BullsGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

Another day, another incredible performance from LeBron James and another win from the Cleveland Cavaliers - that seems to be the team's formula over the last month. The Cavaliers will try to coax another transcendent performance out of their superstar and ride it to a 12th consecutive win when they visit the NBA-worst Chicago Bulls on Monday.

James scored the team's final 13 points in a 116-111 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday and is averaging 28.3 points on 58.4 percent shooting. "It's just experience," James said. "I've been in a lot of big games, regular season, postseason, The Finals where you have to come through for your teammates. I just try to be as clutch as possible late in the game. ... It's an honor for me to be able to even have 14 guys and they look at me personally like 'Ok, it's your time.' I just try to make the right reads and make the right decisions to help us win." The Bulls are having some trouble finding that player on which to lean late in games and suffered one-point losses in the last two contests to stretch their current slide to eight straight. "We're right there, two games in a row," guard Jerian Grant told the team's website. "Could be two wins with one basket, one change. So, it's tough. But we're hanging in there because we see that we are right there. When you can say that you were in the game and gave yourself a chance to win, it is taking a step forward.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cleveland), WGN (Chicago)

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (16-7): James thought he would have some help this season in the fourth quarter from former MVP Derrick Rose, who remains away from the team pondering his future while dealing with a sprained ankle. Rose sat out the last 12 games but reportedly has recently had positive dialogue with the organization. "Whenever he's ready to tell us or whatever, we're ready for that," James told ESPN.com prior to Saturday's win. "You don't ever fast-track someone's process of what they may be going through. When they're ready to talk about it or ready to bring it to the forefront, as his teammates, we'll be ready for it."
ABOUT THE BULLS (3-18): Chicago dealt with a rough back-to-back at Denver on Thursday and home against the Sacramento Kings on Friday and came within a basket of winning each. "The biggest thing is to keep taking positive steps," Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg told reporters. "I thought we really competed, especially (Friday), go into Denver and a tough back to back. I thought the guys went out with the right mentality. ... The biggest thing moving forward is keeping it positive with them and trying to make winning plays down the stretch, which we have not done the last two nights." Rookie power forward Lauri Markkanen is trying to stay positive while battling through a slump that has him shooting 29.9 percent from the floor over the last seven games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bulls F Bobby Portis (arm) sat out Friday and is questionable for Monday.

2. Cavaliers PF Kevin Love recorded seven double-doubles during the 11-game winning streak.

3. Cleveland snapped a five-game losing streak in the series with a 119-112 home win on Oct. 24 behind 34 points and 13 assists from James.

Preview: Timberwolves at GrizzliesGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The Minnesota Timberwolves are four games above .500 but haven't had a winning streak of any kind since the middle of November, a trend they'll attempt to reverse when they visit the reeling Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Behind Jimmy Butler, who scored 20 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves outlasted the Los Angeles Clippers 112-106 on Sunday at home.

Minnesota has alternated wins and losses over its last eight contests following a three-game winning streak from Nov. 13-17. Tyreke Evans scored 31 points to go along with 12 assists and Marc Gasol added 27 points in the Grizzlies' 11th straight loss, a 116-111 setback against Cleveland on Saturday. Memphis took some comfort in staying close with the hottest team in the NBA, only to succumb to another outstanding effort by LeBron James. "That effort tonight would have beaten 90 percent of this league on their home court," interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters. "Unfortunately, they've got a guy who is pretty damn good."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), FSN Southeast (Memphis)

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (14-10): Butler averaged 16.2 points and 4.4 assists in October, 17.9 points and 4.5 assists in November and is at 22 and seven through the first two games this month as he gains comfort with his new team. Center Karl-Anthony Towns leads the NBA with 19 double-doubles after going for 15 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday's win. Minnesota is 1-1 thus far in a stretch during which it plays six of seven games against sub-.500 teams from the Western Conference, against whom it is 11-4.
ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (7-15): Evans is averaging 18.7 points and seven assists in three starts as the team waits for regular starting point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) to return, but he needed some urging from Bickerstaff to be more assertive his last time out. "(On Friday night), I was just trying to be too much of a point guard, getting everybody involved, but (Bickerstaff) just told me to do the same but be aggressive," Evans told reporters Saturday. "That's what I did. I was being aggressive and took what the defense gave me." Gasol topped 20 points for the first time since Nov. 15, which also was the last time the Grizzlies scored at least 100.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Minnesota made 28-of-31 free throws Sunday and is 62-for-71 over its last three games.

2. Butler has played at least 40 minutes in consecutive contests for the first time in over a year.

3. The Grizzlies won three of the four meetings last season, including a 93-71 rout in the last matchup in Memphis.

Preview: Warriors at PelicansGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The New Orleans Pelicans struggled to keep pace with the Golden State Warriors in two previous matchups, even with star forward Anthony Davis dominating. They will try to stay competitive with the high-powered Warriors without Davis when the teams meet Monday in New Orleans.

Davis, who will miss his second straight game due to a pelvis injury, averaged 32.5 points and 15 rebounds in the two earlier losses to Golden State - including a recent 15-point setback in Oakland. His team was able to snap a three-game losing streak without him by topping Portland 123-116 on Saturday, as DeMarcus Cousins shouldered the load with 38 points and eight boards. The Warriors are 3-0 on their six-game road trip after pounding Miami 125-95 on Sunday behind 30 points on 11-of-16 shooting over 30 minutes by Stephen Curry. Golden State shot 56 percent in the victory and is at that same mark for the road trip while averaging 127.3 points.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCSN Bay Area (Golden State), FSN New Orleans

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (18-6): Golden State continued its season-long trend of dominating in the third quarter, outscoring the Heat 37-17 in the first 12 minutes after halftime. It marked the fourth time in 14 games the Warriors have won the period by at least 20 points, and Curry recorded 10 in the first four-plus minutes of the third quarter on Sunday. The two-time MVP finished 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and needs five 3-pointers to become the eighth player in NBA history with 2,000.

ABOUT THE PELICANS (12-11): The injury to Davis may have helped New Orleans focus a bit more in the win at Portland. "I think it was a great team effort. We preached before the game, 'No excuses,'" Cousins told reporters. "It stinks that my partner in crime, AD, went out last night. That being said, we kind of crumbled as a team the previous night. We just tried to come in with no excuses." E'Twaun Moore made all four of his 3-point attempts en route to 19 points, marking the third time in four games he has hit exactly four from beyond the arc.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pelicans PG Rajon Rondo is averaging 12.5 points, 11.5 assists and seven rebounds over his last two games.

2. Warriors F Kevin Durant scored 24 points Sunday and is averaging 26 in three contests since returning from an ankle injury.

3. Golden State SF Andre Iguodala (knee) has missed two straight games and is day-to-day.

Preview: Nuggets at MavericksGracenote
Dec 3, 2017

The Denver Nuggets haven't lost a home game in a month but are about to kick off a six-game road trip without the help of their best player, center Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets, who expected to be without Jokic for several games due to a sprained ankle, will begin the trip by visiting the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

Denver is 10-2 at home but just 3-7 on the road, and coach Michael Malone is open to trying a few unconventional tactics to get his players believing they can win away from home. "We're gonna turn the lights off in the locker room before the game," Malone told the Denver Post. "... I've got a guy to come with us that's gonna (say), 'You're getting sleepy,' and we'll see if it works in Dallas." The Mavericks pounded the Los Angeles Clippers 108-82 on Saturday to earn coach Rick Carlisle his 700th career win. "I really wasn't counting, to tell you the truth," Carlisle told reporters. "It just means that I've been very fortunate. I've had three great owners and great players. But we've got a long way to go, and I've really never been one to count that kind of stuff."
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, Altitude (Denver), FS Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (13-9): Denver is heading out with some momentum after winning a pair at home and scored the final 15 points on Saturday to earn a 115-100 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. "We just locked in," guard Jamal Murray, who touched off some pushing and shoving in the final seconds by dribbling around Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball with the clock ticking down, told reporters. "We played together the whole night. Coach talked about it on the bench that we've got to make plays down the stretch on defense, and it didn't take us long to turn that around. We got together quick and came through as a unit together." Murray scored 28 points in the win to bounce back from a five-point performance on 1-of-9 shooting against Chicago on Thursday.
ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (6-17): Dallas is trying to clinch a winning three-game homestand after falling to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday and blasting the Clippers on Saturday. Veteran point guard J.J. Barea led the way with 21 points and 10 assists against Los Angeles and is averaging 13.2 points and 7.3 assists in the six wins. "I was able to come off the bench with a lot of energy and help the team out," Barea told reporters. "Everything was clicking from passing to shooting the ball from the outside, so it was great. It was great to be out there and to get this win. We needed it after a bad loss last time, so hopefully we carry this over."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Nuggets SF Wilson Chandler (back) missed the last three games and is day-to-day.

2. Dallas C Nerlens Noel (thumb) sat out the last three games and is questionable for Monday.

3. Denver took three of four in the series last season, winning by an average of 17 points.

Preview: Pistons at SpursGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The Detroit Pistons will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season when they continue a challenging four-game road trip Monday against the banged-up San Antonio Spurs. After winning three straight, the Pistons have begun the trek with back-to-back losses, including Saturday's 108-103 setback in Philadelphia.

"We don't play two halves of games now," Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy told reporters after his team was unable to overcome a woeful first half that led to a 16-point deficit at intermission. "It's not going to get it done." Tobias Harris continued a hot streak in the loss with 27 points and is averaging 23.3 on 60.7 percent shooting over a four-game span for Detroit, which has dropped five straight meetings with the Spurs. San Antonio chose to rest leading scorer LaMarcus Aldridge, point guard Tony Parker and reserve forward Rudy Gay in Sunday's 90-87 loss at Oklahoma City while forward Kyle Anderson went down with a sprained knee. The Spurs have played all season without star swingman Kawhi Leonard, but he is nearing a return from a quadriceps injury.

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

ABOUT THE PISTONS (14-8): The road trip also kicked off a string of six straight games against teams with winning records, ending with contests against defending champion Golden State and Eastern Conference-leading Boston. "We know we can play with anybody," Harris told reporters. "We've proven it already. We know when we're playing our game and we're at our best, it doesn't matter who's up against us." Detroit hopes for more from shooting guard Avery Bradley, who is 1-for-9 from long range on the trip and has shot under 40 percent overall in four of his last five games.

ABOUT THE SPURS (15-8): Joffrey Lauvergne was given a chance to seize some available minutes in the loss and finished with a season-high 12 points and six rebounds while shrugging aside a dislocated finger. Davis Bertans also took advantage of a rare opportunity to tie his season high with 16 points and Dejounte Murray finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds in a spot start. "I'm really proud of them," coach Gregg Popovich told reporters when asked about the contributions. "They did a great job tonight. Defense in the second half was very good and a lot of guys participate, and a lot of guys got a lot of minutes, and I thought they did very well."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Anderson is scheduled for an MRI on Monday.

2. Pistons C Andre Drummond, who averages 0.9 assists for his career, has notched at least six in four straight contests.

3. San Antonio is 2-0 in the second half of back-to-back sets played at home.

Preview: Islanders at PanthersGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The New York Islanders hit a speed bump last time out and look to regain their top form when they open a difficult four-game road trip Monday against the Florida Panthers. The Islanders, who visit Tampa Bay on Tuesday and also face Pittsburgh and Boston on the trek, had won four straight and seven of eight before dropping a 6-5 home decision to Ottawa on Friday.

“When you’ve got the offense going like we do, sometimes you take chances you shouldn’t,” New York's Jason Chimera told reporters after Friday’s loss. “We were a little careless, and against a desperate team, it’s going to bite you.” The Islanders have earned at least one point in four of their last five meetings (3-1-1) with the Panthers, who gave up a goal at 4:58 of overtime Saturday to lose at Carolina. Florida managed three goals in dropping its last two games after a promising 3-1-0 stretch and needs to get going at home, where it is just 5-5-2 in the early going. The Panthers also could use more scoring depth behind the trio of Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Vincent Trocheck, which has accounted for 37.3 percent of the points.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, MSG Plus (New York), FSN Florida

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (15-8-2): New York has one more player than Florida with at least 24 points, and the team's top six scorers all are on hot streaks offensively. Josh Bailey leads the team with 30 points, including 12 in his last eight games, and captain John Tavares is one behind him while Anders Lee has scored four goals in his last three contests and rookie Mathew Barzal has notched 10 of his 24 points over his last eight matches. Defenseman Nick Leddy also has been on a roll with 11 points in his last nine contests while Jordan Eberle is riding a four-game point streak.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (10-13-3): Barkov scored his third goal in four games Saturday and trails Trocheck (10) by one for the team lead while remaining one point behind Huberdeau (26) for the top spot on the club. With top-line forward Evgenii Dadonov (shoulder) out of the lineup, defenseman Keith Yandle (13) is the only other player on the team with more than 12 points. Nick Bjugstad scored his sixth goal of the campaign on Saturday, pulling within one of his total from 2016-17, when he missed 28 games due to various injuries.

OVERTIME

1. Florida RW Radim Vrbata has gone two games without a point since returning from a facial injury that caused him to miss almost two weeks.

2. The Islanders placed C Casey Cizikas (lower body) on injured reserve, retroactive to Nov. 25.

3. Barkov needs four points to become the 13th Panther to reach 200 in his career.

Preview: Bruins at PredatorsGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The Boston Bruins attempt to extend their road winning streak to five games when they visit the Nashville Predators on Monday. Boston has been stingy defensively during its run away from home, allowing a total of four goals after Saturday's 3-0 triumph at Philadelphia.

David Pastrnak scored his team-leading 13th goal and added an assist in the shutout, giving him three tallies and as many assists during his five-game point streak as the Bruins won for the sixth time in seven overall contests. Nashville hopes to conclude its four-game homestand with a winning record after improving to 2-1-0 with Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim. Kevin Fiala opened the scoring in the second period with his first career power-play goal and netted the decisive tally in the bonus format as the Predators posted their 11th win in 14 games (11-2-1). Filip Forsberg, who leads Nashville with 27 points, has landed on the scoresheet in 10 of his last 11 contests.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, TVA, NESN (Boston), FSN Tennessee (Nashville)

ABOUT THE BRUINS (12-8-4): Brad Marchand has returned from injury with a vengeance, recording a pair of two-point performances after missing six contests with an undisclosed ailment. The 29-year-old is second on the team with 19 points and is seven shy of 400 for his career. Boston continues to get healthier, as David Krejci (upper body) and Anders Bjork (undisclosed) followed Marchand and David Backes back into the lineup Saturday after missing one and seven games, respectively.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (16-7-3): Nashville is hoping that Calle Jarnkrok is beginning to heat up, as the 26-year-old Swede has recorded a point in back-to-back contests after going seven games without one. Jarnkrok, who collected a career-high 31 points last season, is two away from 100 for his career. Fiala has registered 12 assists in 25 games this season after notching a total of five in 60 contests over parts of three campaigns.

OVERTIME

1. Bruins G Anton Khudobin is expected to start Monday after Tuukka Rask was in the crease for three straight games.

2. Nashville is two away from matching the franchise record for consecutive contests with a power-play goal, as it has recorded one in each of its first 13 games at Bridgestone Arena this season.

3. Backes' next point will be the 500th of his career.

Preview: Flyers at FlamesGracenote
Dec 4, 2017

The Philadelphia Flyers are hoping a three-game trek through Western Canada will be just what they need to avoid recording the longest losing streak in franchise history. Philadelphia, which begins its trip Monday against the Calgary Flames, fell to 0-5-5 in its last 10 games with Saturday's 3-0 home setback against Boston, matching the slide the team had from Dec. 2-27, 2006 (0-9-1) and equaled from Feb. 6-23, 2008 (0-8-2).

The Flyers, who haven't won since topping Chicago 3-1 on Nov. 9, earned a point in five of six contests (0-1-5) before scoring a total of one goal in back-to-back defeats versus San Jose and the Bruins. Calgary is looking to break even on its four-game homestand after falling to 1-2-0 with Saturday's 7-5 loss to Edmonton. Sam Bennett continued to turn around his season, scoring twice in the setback to give him five points during his three-game streak. The 21-year-old, who recorded 31 tallies over his previous two full seasons, tallied just once over his first 25 contests this campaign.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, NBCSN Philadelphia Plus, Sportsnet West (Calgary)

ABOUT THE FLYERS (8-11-7): Mark Alt was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Saturday but was not in the lineup against Boston. The 26-year-old defenseman appeared in six games for Philadelphia earlier this season, recording two penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating. Sean Couturier leads the team with 14 goals but has scored only two in his last six contests.

ABOUT THE FLAMES (14-11-1): Johnny Gaudreau tops Calgary with 36 points but endured a three-game drought before notching a goal and an assist against the Oilers. The 24-year-old from New Jersey has netted 12 tallies in 26 games this season after registering only 18 over 72 contests in 2016-17. Sean Monahan has scored a team-leading 14 goals but has gone four games without one after recording six over his previous four contests.

OVERTIME

1. The Flyers have not gone more than 10 games without a win since their franchise-record 12-game drought from Feb. 24-March 16, 1999, when they had eight losses and four ties.

2. Calgary captain D Mark Giordano's next game will be his 700th in the NHL.

3. Philadelphia has been shut out six times overall this season and three times during its current skid, which began with back-to-back blankings against Minnesota.
