#1 QUEZON
#4 MS LOCUST POINT
#3 ABSATOOTLY
#7 FRIEND OF LIBERTY

F.Y.I. folks ... The Garland of Roses is named for the Hobeau Farm color-bearer who won the 1974 Parlo Turf Handicap and 1975 Black Helen Handicap at the ages of 5 and 6, respectively. Here in the 24th running of The Garland, #1 QUEZON, the overall speed leader in this stakes test sprinting at 6.0 furlongs on the dirt, and has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in each of her last four starts. #4 MS LOCUST POINT has excellent early speed to compliment for this sprint, is the last profile leader, and has won three of her last five outings, and goes to the post for the "Saturday Feature" with the Jockey/Trainer tandem of Jorge Vargas and John Servis in her corner ... they've "whacked the tote board" with 57% of more than 100 entries saddled as a team to date.

Rating: 3

#4 D'YER MAK'ER (ML=5/1)
#2 DISCRETIONARY MARQ (ML=3/1)
#10 MISSION COMMAND (ML=5/2)
#11 BENEVOLENCE (ML=3/1)
#12 LENNY (ML=8/1)


D'YER MAK'ER - Gelding is a few starts into a return to racing here. Should give a nice effort today. Lebron and Zito teamed up together are a horse gambler's friend. Finished off the board last out at Aqueduct, but was within five lengths of the winner. Opening at 5/1 makes me think he's got a chance. DISCRETIONARY MARQ - Horses out of the barn of Clement have been strong on the grass. Should do well in this race. The jock and conditioner combination here have a high winning percent when they work together. Came home fast last race out at Aqueduct. That type of move bodes well for his chances in this race. MISSION COMMAND - This animal has recorded the best recent turf speed figure at the dist-surf. This colt is in fine condition, having run a good race on November 18th, finishing third. Widely used handicapping theory - 3rd or 4th start after a vacation generally leads to a big effort. Today could be the day. This animal may have too much power on the turf for the rest of the field. Coming home, he could put these away. BENEVOLENCE - McLaughlin brings him right back. I advocate you stick with this live gelding. You have to like this horse changing from dirt to turf for the first time. He finished on the board on a sluggish dirt track on November 12th. A sign he may take to turf. This gelding is rounding his way back into shape. Should perform well today. Running on the grass today, you should review a horse's class. This one has the top number in the bunch. This animal has increased his speed ratings from a fig of 64 to 86 to 91 in a row. LENNY - I really like that most recent effort on November 24th at Finger Lakes where he ran first. The 93 recent race speed figure looks sound in the TrackMaster PPs.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 OUTRAGEOUS BET (ML=6/1), #9 FLED (ML=8/1),

OUTRAGEOUS BET - Just don't figure that he is priced right at the expected odds. FLED - Hasn't hit the board in any short distance affairs recently. Not probable to see him doing it today either. The very long layoff will probably be too much to overcome for this racer.

# 3 DREAM TREE 8/5

# 4 WAR HEROINE 9/5

# 2 PIEDI BIANCHI 5/2

My selection in this competition is DREAM TREE. Overall the Equibase Speed Figures of this racer look quite good in this contest. Always good to invest in a conditioner with this kind of very strong win percentage - 33 percent - at this distance & surface. Will probably go to the front end and might never look back. WAR HEROINE - Overall the speed figs of this equine look strong in this contest. Could wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. PIEDI BIANCHI - Looks formidable for the conditions of this race today, showing solid figs in dirt route races recently. With a nice class fig average of 94, has one of the most respectable class advantages in this group of animals.

#10 JOLSON (ML=9/2)
#4 FATHER DENNIS (ML=6/1)
#3 SECRET INVASION (ML=5/1)
#11 KID TWIST (ML=5/2)


JOLSON - Trainer Cobb moves this animal to a lower level to face a lower rated field. Look for a strong race given this drop. Last time out, finished fifth on a sloppy track at Mahoning Valley Race Cour. Will most certainly do better in this event. Jockey jumped on this gelding's back for the 1st ride on November 18th. Should be acquainted with the horse even better in today's contest. FATHER DENNIS - Last workout was the second fastest of the day. Undeniably on edge for a good one today. Looking at today's class rating, this thoroughbred is meeting an easier field than last time around the track at Thistledown. SECRET INVASION - Racing over a familiar track, where he has won multiple times before, I have to put this horse at the top of my list of contenders. KID TWIST - Have to make this gelding a solid contender; he comes off a solid effort on November 26th. Three consecutive improved speed ratings (63-66-76) make this animal a dominant contender.

Vulnerable Contenders: #12 COTTONWOOD CANYON (ML=8/1),

COTTONWOOD CANYON - This animal hasn't shown much life in the last pair of events.

My choice here is SWEET BABIE JAMES. Ran a solid last race. Must be given a chance given the class of races run lately. Has recorded sound speed figures in short races in the past. CC BROOKS BIG BOY - He has earned formidable figs under today's conditions and should fare well against this group of horses. Had one of the most respectable Equibase Speed Figs of this group of horses in his last race. LT MANUP - Saldana has this colt travelling well and is a strong choice based on the formidable Equibase Speed Figures posted in short races lately. Arvizu ought to be able to get this colt to break out early in here.

CF (103) ARMY VS (104) NAVY

Take: (103) ARMY

Reason: Your free play for Saturday, December 9, 2017 is in the College football game between Army and Navy. Army has a chance to win the Commander-in-chief trophy here today with a win over the Middies of Navy. Army won last year in Baltimore, 21-17, snapping a 14 year losing streak in this annual matchup. Don't expect to see many passes in this game as both these option teams will ground and pound this game. This game is run by the QB's, but not through the air, through the ground. Ahmad Bradshaw of Army has rushed for 1,472 yards and 11 TD's while Navy's Zach Abey has 1,322 yards and 14 TD's. Expect another hard-nosed effort here by both clubs. These games are usually low scoring (38 points the last two years and 27 the year before). Can't believe there is a 46 point total on this game. Play the UNDER. Army getting some points here is just too much to pass on. Take Army.

Preview: Islanders at Bruins


The New York Islanders will try to avoid a season-worst third consecutive defeat when they visit the Boston Bruins on Saturday night in the finale of a four-game road trip. New York is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh that left head coach Doug Weight dealing with mixed emotions.

“It was a really good game, a really good point for us to get,” Weight said after watching his team erase a two-goal deficit in the third period. “And I’m still really (expletive) off about it.” A major reason for Weight's ire is New York's ineffiency on special teams, which has been burned for two power-play goals in each of the past four games. The resurgent Bruins beat up on their favorite punching bag Thursday, rolling to a 6-1 rout of Arizona for their 12 consecutive win against the Coyotes. Boston has followed a four-game slide with a 7-2-0 run, allowing a total of 10 goals in the seven victories.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG-Plus2 (New York), NESN (Boston)

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (16-9-3): Not surprisingly, New York's 30th-ranked penalty kill was the focal point at Friday's practice after Pittsburgh converted on both chances with the man advantage -- the sixth straight game in which the Islanders have yielded at least one power-play tally. “We’re together as a coaching staff and a team and we’re going to find a way to kill one off,” Weight said after Thursday's game. “Sometimes you have to just learn it all over again.” Jordan Eberle scored his 12th goal Thursday -- all coming in the past 18 games.

ABOUT THE BRUINS (13-9-4): If Boston needed any reason to see why David Backes served as a longtime captain in St. Louis, the veteran forward provided another example in his fourth game back from abdominal surgery that was expected to sideline him a month longer. Backes, in his second season with the Bruins, scored his first two goals of the season to ignite the win over Arizona. “He’s a commanding presence," forward Brad Marchand said. “He's stepped up all over the place – in the room, on the ice, and on the bench. He’s a big void when he’s not playing."

OVERTIME

1. New York won both matchups in Boston last season, outscoring the Bruins 8-2.

2. Bruins F David Pastrnak has four goals and four assists during a seven-game point streak.

3. Islanders F Mathew Barzal, who leads all rookies with 27 points, has assisted on eight of Eberle's 12 tallies.

Preview: Oilers at Canadiens


The Edmonton Oilers have been among the league's biggest underachievers this season but they will kick off a three-game road trip at a venue where they have had surprising success of late. Coming off yet another disappointing performance at home, Edmonton attempts to generate some momentum when it visits the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

The Oilers own the second-worst record in the Western Conference and are a dreadful 5-9-0 on home ice, but they have won five of their last six visits to Montreal. Edmonton also has won three of its past four on the road, including a 7-5 victory Saturday at Calgary, which knocked off the Canadiens in overtime on Thursday night. The 3-2 setback to the Flames was the second loss in a row following a five-game winning streak for Montreal, which will receive the expected return of Jonathan Drouin to the lineup. Drouin, who has centered the team's top line, missed the past four games due to injury and illness.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, TVAS

ABOUT THE OILERS (11-15-2): Forward Nathan Walker and defenseman Jeff Davidson, recent waiver-wire acquisitions, are expected to join the lineup on the road trip to provide "some new energy," Edmonton defenseman Oscar Klefbom said. Davidson, traded by the Oilers to Montreal at last season's trade deadline, is especially eager to face the team that waived him a week ago. "I think that I have something to prove, maybe a little bit, but I'm excited to get into a game first and foremost," Davidson said after Friday's practice.

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (13-13-4): Drouin, in his first season with Montreal, had two goals and two assists during a three-game point streak prior to the injury, which was followed by a bout with the flu that he said caused him to lose six pounds. Drouin went through a full practice Friday and skated on a slightly reconfigured unit with Andrew Shaw joining him and regular linemate Alex Galchenyuk. The Montreal Gazette noted a reason for the change could be Drouin's 40.8 faceoff percentage, compared to Shaw's 54.8.

OVERTIME

1. Canadiens G Carey Price will make his eighth consecutive start since returning from injury.

2. Oilers captain Connor McDavid has two assists in four games against Montreal.

3. Canadiens F Daniel Carr has six points in four games since he was summoned from Laval of the American Hockey League.

Preview: Jets at Lightning


The Winnipeg Jets have seemed to lose their focus with two straight losses after climbing to the top of the Western Conference and look to get back on track when they visit the NHL-best Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The Jets had gone 9-2-1 during a dominant 12-game stretch, but allowed 11 goals while losing at Detroit and Florida to start a road trip that ends in Tampa.

Winnipeg right wing Patrik Laine, who has scored in four straight games, told reporters he thinks the Jets “thought it’s going to be easy for these two games” after scoring 21 times in the previous four contests and coach Paul Maurice welcomes a battle against the Lightning. “Well, it will be good for us,” Maurice told reporters. “Because if we don’t play with a defense-first attitude, they’ll put 10 on us. It will be a good opportunity for us to get our minds right.” The Lightning seek a sweep of their four-game homestand after rolling to a 5-2 victory over Colorado on Thursday as captain Steven Stamkos took over the league lead with 41 points, recording three in the triumph. “It’s not easy to win games consistently in this league,” Stamkos told reporters. “We want to bank as many wins as we can on home ice.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, CITY (Winnipeg), FSN Sun (Tampa Bay)

ABOUT THE JETS (17-8-4): While Laine has totaled eight points during his four-game goal streak, captain Blake Wheeler remained red hot by scoring three times and helping set up nine others in the past six contests. Center Mark Scheifele is second on the team behind Wheeler (37) with 32 points despite being held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the trip. Nikolaj Ehlers is third on the team with 12 goals after scoring for the second time in four December games and fellow forward Kyle Connor has zero points in two games since missing a contest with a lower-body injury.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (20-6-2): Stamkos and linemate Vladislav Namestnikov each notched a goal and two assists in the victory over Colorado and the third member of the trio, Tyler Johnson, contributed a pair of helpers. Left wing Chris Kunitz has scored in back-to-back games and third-line center Yanni Gourde posted four points in the last three contests to give Tampa Bay solid secondary scoring. Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy got the night off Thursday in favor of backup Peter Budaj, and is expected back in net against the Jets with a sparkling 18-4-1 record and .932 save percentage.

OVERTIME

1. Winnipeg D Dustin Byfuglien is still seeking his first goal of the season, but has recorded four assists in the last three games.

2. Tampa Bay has scored at least one power-play goal in eight straight and 13 of the last 14 contests.

3. The Lightning have won five of the last seven meetings, but the Jets won 6-4 at Tampa Bay last season.

Preview: Avalanche at Panthers

The Florida Panthers earned a big victory with a potential cost last time out and hope to gain momentum while avoiding a lengthy injury to one of their key players when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The Panthers outlasted Winnipeg 6-4 on Thursday, but top-line center Aleksander Barkov left the game with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.

“Yeah, it (stinks) whenever Barky goes down,” Florida center Vincent Trocheck told reporters. “Him going down is a big hit for us, but guys stepped up. … That next man up mentality is kind of a mentality that we’ve had these last few years.” The Panthers have recorded 12 goals while registering at least a point in three straight games (1-0-2) and will look to take advantage of the struggling Avalanche, who have dropped four straight to start December after a 5-2 loss at Tampa Bay on Thursday. Captain Gabriel Landeskog returned after a four-game suspension for an illegal hit and scored a goal, but Colorado allowed the final three tallies of the contest. “As a young team we have to pay attention to the process and continue to find things to build on,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “There were some things in that game that we did that were better than what we did in the last three games at home. So, it’s a step forward. Now we got to take another step.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Altitude (Colorado), FSN Florida

ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (12-13-2): Landeskog returned to the top line alongside center Nathan MacKinnon, who leads the team with 32 points, and Mikko Rantanen (22) and had three shots with almost 21 minutes of ice time. Mark Barberio returned to the lineup and had three blocks in 18:05 of ice time after being a healthy scratch as Colorado went with seven defensemen again versus Tampa Bay. “We expect more from ourselves back there,” Bednar said. “That’s part of the reason why we’re playing seven. You have to play for your ice.”

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (11-13-4): Trocheck boasts two goals and four assists over the last three games and owns 29 points to share the team lead with left wing Jonathan Huberdeau, who notched four assists in the past three contests. Defenseman Keith Yandle collected four assists in the last two games to push his total to 17 points while 20-year-old forward Denis Malgin has scored in back-to-back contests. Florida was 2-for-23 on the power play over a nine-game period before recording four on eight opportunities with the man advantage the last two contests.

OVERTIME

1. Landeskog is three points shy of 300 in his career after recording his 18th of the season Thursday.

2. Florida D Aaron Ekblad scored his 42nd career goal Thursday, tying Gord Murphy for third in club history among blueliners.

3. The Panthers won both meetings last season, outscoring the Avalanche 8-3 in the process with only one point from Barkov.

Preview: Devils at Rangers
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

The New York Rangers hope to continue their winning ways on home ice when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey Devils on Saturday. The Rangers have won nine of their last 10 games at Madison Square Garden and will try to bounce back after allowing 40 shots in a 4-2 setback at Washington on Friday - just their second loss in eight overall contests.

New York won just two of its first eight games at home, which included a loss to the Devils, before beginning to turn around its season with a 5-2 victory over visiting Arizona on Oct. 26 and has gone 13-5-0 since. The Rangers are four points behind New Jersey, which has alternated wins and losses over their last six contests after a 5-3 home setback against Columbus on Friday. The Devils have split their first four games this month, allowing one goal in each victory and five in each loss, but have been very strong on the road as they've posted a 10-3-2 record - including a 4-1-0 mark in their last five. New Jersey rookie Nico Hischier, who is second on the team with 20 points, took a stick to the mouth in Friday's loss to Columbus and reportedly was to undergo dental work after the game, but coach John Hynes told reporters he expects the 18-year-old to play on Saturday.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG Plus (New Jersey), MSG2 (New York)

ABOUT THE DEVILS (16-8-4): Taylor Hall, who leads the team with 29 points, recorded a goal and an assist in the opener of a home-and-home series versus Columbus on Tuesday before being kept off the scoresheet on Friday. Rookie Jesper Bratt has notched five points in his last five contests to reach 19 - third-best on the team - while rookie defenseman Will Butcher (18) has been held without one over his last five games. Backup goaltender Keith Kinkaid (5-2-1, .896 save percentage) is expected to get the start after Cory Schneider allowed five goals in Friday’s loss.

ABOUT THE RANGERS (15-11-2): Michael Grabner has recorded five goals in his last five games and leads the team with 14 as he scored on Friday to move three ahead of Mika Zibanejad, who is out with a concussion. Mats Zuccarello was kept off the scoresheet on Friday but has collected eight points in his last eight games and shares the team lead with Zibanejad at 22. The Rangers have found a way to score during their surge despite struggling on the power play, converting just three of their 30 opportunities over the last 10 contests, but still are among the top 10 in the league.

OVERTIME

1. New Jersey C Brian Boyle scored his fourth goal in seven games on Friday and needs two to reach 100 for his career.

2. New York LW Chris Kreider has notched four points in his last four contests and needs one for 200 in the NHL while sitting one goal shy of 100.

3. The Devils are 2-0-2 in their last four meetings with the Rangers, including a 3-2 triumph at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 14.

Frederik Andersen put his disastrous first month of the season behind him and has been steady in the face of a storm that occasionally sees him encountering over 40 shots on goal. Andersen aims to keep rolling along on Saturday as the Toronto Maple Leafs visit Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"It's just a really important thing to stay present and for me it's what I'm trying to do, to keep the focus from game to game," Andersen told TSN on Friday. "That's the best approach I've had lately. I've touched on it before but tracking well, being aggressive on the puck is something I've been doing well lately." The 28-year-old Dane improved to 4-0-1 this season when facing 40 or more shots on goal after turning aside a season-high 47 in a 2-1 shootout win against Calgary on Wednesday. While Toronto has won four of its last six, Pittsburgh has done it one better by answering a three-game skid with victories in five of its last six following a 4-3 overtime triumph over the New York Islanders on Thursday. Former Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel, who leads the Penguins with 14 goals, has scored in each of his last three games and has recorded at least one point in 23 of 30 contests this season.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, CBC (Toronto), AT&TSN-Pittsburgh

ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS (18-10-1): Nazem Kadri relishes his role as a shutdown defender, and he'll have his chance to give credence to that claim against two-time Hart Trophy winner Crosby on Saturday and the current keeper of the title, Connor McDavid, and the Edmonton Oilers the following day. "I love it. Personally for me, it’s fun," the 27-year-old told TSN. "Those guys push you to bring out your best because if you don't, they'll make you look bad. As a team, especially heading into a city like Pittsburgh, knowing what they've done the last few years, we're going to have to be ready." Defenseman Morgan Rielly, who scored versus the Flames, will be ready after sitting out Friday's practice with a maintenance day, coach Mike Babcock said.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (16-11-3): Defenseman Kris Letang scored and set up a goal versus the Islanders to increase his point total to eight (one goal, seven assists) in his past eight games. Letang's point shot in the first period was deflected by Jake Guentzel, who netted his 13th goal of the season and continued Pittsburgh's success on the power play. The Penguins, who have converted an NHL third-ranked 27.0 percent of their chances with the man advantage, have at least one power-play goal in seven of their last eight contests.

OVERTIME

1. Pittsburgh is 5-0-1 against Toronto in the last six encounters at PPG Paints Arena.

2. Maple Leafs LW Patrick Marleau is one point shy of 1,100 for his career.

3. The Penguins have thwarted 24 of their last 26 short-handed situations over the last seven games.

Dec 9, 2017

The Arizona Coyotes attempt to reverse their fortunes away from home when they continue a four-game road trip Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Arizona had won three straight in enemy territory before hitting the skids, as it has lost four straight (0-2-2) after Thursday's 6-1 setback in Boston.

Christian Dvorak scored the lone goal in the setback as the Coyotes fell to 0-1-1 on their trek and have recorded a total of five tallies during their slide on the road. Columbus avoided a third consecutive road loss and earned a split of its home-and-home series against New Jersey on Friday with a 5-3 triumph. Alexander Wennberg snapped a 3-3 tie early in the third period and Artemi Panarin collected a career-high five points by setting up each of the Blue Jackets' goals. The five-assist performance increased the 26-year-old Panarin's team-leading point total to 25.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Arizona Plus, FSN Ohio (Columbus)

ABOUT THE COYOTES (7-19-5): Antti Raanta figures to be in the crease Saturday after missing six games with an upper-body injury and serving as Scott Wedgewood's backup on Thursday. "It's always tough to sit on the sidelines," the 28-year-old Raanta, who could start Sunday in Chicago instead, told reporters. "It's always frustrating. It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing, you just want to be out there with the team." Defenseman Kyle Capobianco made his NHL debut in Boston and posted a minus-1 rating in 13 minutes, 33 seconds of ice time.

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (18-10-1): Panarin etched his name in the team record book Friday with his five assists, tying the franchise record that was set in 2001 by Espen Knutsen. Wennberg's goal against the Devils was just his second in 23 games this season and first since Oct. 14, ending his 17-game drought. Rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his fifth goal on Friday, giving him at least one point in five of his last six contests (two goals, five assists).

OVERTIME

1. Coyotes rookie C Clayton Keller leads the team with 11 goals but is mired in a 15-game drought as he has not tallied since Nov. 6 at Washington.

2. Columbus D Markus Nutivaara returned to the lineup Friday after a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury and finished at plus-1 in 11:35 of ice time.

3. Saturday's contest will be Arizona's league-leading 20th on the road this season.

The expansion Vegas Golden Knights aim for their fourth consecutive victory when they complete a back-to-back set on the road Saturday against the Dallas Stars. Vegas has gone beyond regulation in each of its last three contests, including a 4-3 shootout victory at Nashville on Friday.

Erik Haula forged a tie with 40 seconds remaining in the third period and Reilly Smith scored the lone goal of the bonus format in the sixth round as the Golden Knights improved to 7-1 in games decided after 60 minutes. Dallas looks to avoid a third straight loss and bounce back from Thursday's 3-0 setback at St. Louis. The Stars had won five in a row both overall and at home before dropping a 5-2 decision to the Predators on Tuesday. Tyler Seguin leads Dallas with 27 points but has been kept off the scoresheet in each of his last two games after recording two goals and two assists over his previous three contests.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Vegas), FSN Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (18-9-1): William Karlsson maintained the team lead in goals on Friday, scoring his 15th to remain one ahead of James Neal, who netted his 14th in the victory. The 24-year-old Karlsson, who totaled 15 tallies in 162 games over the previous two seasons with Columbus, needed only 28 contests this campaign to match that amount. David Perron (upper body) notched an assist Friday after being activated from injured reserve earlier in the day, leaving him two points shy of 400 for his career.

ABOUT THE STARS (16-12-1): Dallas hopes to have Ben Bishop back in the crease after the goaltender missed Thursday's setback with a sore back. Mike McKenna, who was recalled from Texas to serve as Kari Lehtonen's backup against the Blues, was sent back to the American Hockey League team on Friday. Dallas also demoted left wing Curtis McKenzie, who has notched one assist in four games with the club this season.

OVERTIME

1. Stars LW Antoine Roussel has missed four straight games with an illness.

2. Vegas D Luca Sbisa's assist on Friday left him two points shy of 100 in the NHL.

3. Dallas is 0-9-0 when trailing after two periods.

Dec 8, 2017

Last season's trip to the Eastern Conference finals seems to be a lifetime ago for the Ottawa Senators, who are in the throes of a horrid slump that has them careening down the standings. Losers of three in a row and 10 of their last 11 (1-9-1), Ottawa continues a season-long seven-game road trip at the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night.

The Senators did show a pulse in their latest setback, getting a last-second goal in an eventual 4-3 overtime defeat at white-hot Los Angeles that came on the heels of two shutout losses. "It's been a little rough lately, but I think we're headed in the right direction," Ottawa defenseman Cody Ceci said after Thursday's loss. San Jose lost its final two on a four-game road trip before kicking off a three-game homestand with a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory versus Carolina on Thursday, rallying from an early 3-0 deficit. It marked the first time in franchise history that the Sharks won a game after trailing by three goals following the first period.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Ottawa), NBCSN California (San Jose)

ABOUT THE SENATORS (9-11-7): Matt Duchene was acquired in a three-team deal early last month to bolster Ottawa's offense, but his power-play tally at Los Angeles was the former Avalanche forward's second goal in 13 seasons since the deal. "There's lots of really good things to build on tonight and that's the next step is building on it now and not hanging our heads and being too disappointed," Duchene said after his first two-point game since Nov. 4. Duchene has seven goals and seven assists in 23 games against San Jose.

ABOUT THE SHARKS (15-10-2): Defenseman Brent Burns has been in a major rut after scoring 56 goals over the past two campaigns, but he made his second one this season count by delivering the game-winning tally in overtime against the Hurricanes. Burns also set up a goal to register only his second multiple-point game of the season, and first since Oct. 21 -- a notable dip after amassing 76 points in 2016-17 and 75 the previous season. Joe Thornton collected three points to move into 19th place (1,410) on the all-time list.

OVERTIME

1. The Sharks won at Ottawa 4-3 in a shootout last December to end a streak of five consecutive losses in the series, including three at home.

2. Ottawa is 4-for-39 with the man advantage during the 11-game swoon.

3. San Jose had two power-play goals in a game Thursday -- the first time that's happened since Oct. 17.

Dec 8, 2017

After earning three of a possible four points on their brief two-day trek, the Calgary Flames make a quick stop at home on Saturday to host the Vancouver Canucks. Calgary dropped a 2-1 shootout decision in Toronto on Wednesday but bounced back to post a 3-2 overtime win at Montreal the following night, improving to 4-1-2 in its last seven on the road.

Sean Monahan completed a two-goal performance with his team-leading 17th tally of the season 1:14 into the extra session as the Flames, who head back out on the road to face Minnesota on Tuesday, halted their three-game overall skid (0-2-1). Vancouver had its three-game winning streak snapped Thursday as it completed a 2-1-0 homestand with a 4-1 setback against Philadelphia. Rookie Brock Boeser scored the lone goal - his team-high 14th - for the Canucks, who played their first game without the injured Bo Horvat. The 22-year-old Horvat, who is second on the team with 20 points and tied for the club lead with five power-play tallies, could be out of the lineup for up to six weeks due to a fractured foot.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, CBC

ABOUT THE CANUCKS (14-11-4): Vancouver added depth at center after Thursday's loss, acquiring Nic Dowd from Los Angeles for defenseman Jordan Subban. The 27-year-old Dowd, who was a seventh-round pick in the 2009 draft, recorded one assist in 16 games with the Kings this season and has registered six goals and 23 points in 91 NHL contests. Three Canucks could reach milestones Saturday as Markus Granlund is one game shy of 200 in the NHL, captain Henrik Sedin needs two assists for 800 and defenseman Michael Del Zotto is one point away from 200.

ABOUT THE FLAMES (15-12-2): Monahan, who has collected three goals and an assist during his three-game point streak, entered Friday tied for the league lead with six game-winning tallies. The 23-year-old finished Thursday tied for third in the NHL with 17 goals - seven of which have been scored on the power play. Goaltender Mike Smith, who is winless in his last three starts (0-1-1), is expected to appear in his 500th career game on Saturday.

OVERTIME

1. Future Hall-of-Fame RW Jaromir Jagr has missed two straight games with a lower-body injury and remains day-to-day.

2. Vancouver assigned G Thatcher Demko to Utica of the American Hockey League on Friday.

3. Calgary LW Matthew Tkachuk is expected back in the lineup after serving his one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct on Thursday.

Preview: Hurricanes at Kings
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown told reporters that the team learned a great deal from their recent four-game losing skid, and now they are schooling the competition. Winners of a season-high seven in a row, the Kings look to complete a perfect three-game homestand on Saturday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes.

"In general, you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I said that about teams before we won (Stanley) Cups. We had to lose a lot to understand what it took to win," Brown said. The 33-year-old scored and set up a goal for the second time during his three-game point streak in Thursday's 4-3 triumph over Ottawa. While Los Angeles is relishing winning, Carolina has headed in the other direction with losses in six of its last eight contests overall and four straight on the road, including the first two of its season-high six-game trek. "We just need to create more opportunities," said left wing Sebastian Aho, who scored twice within a five-minute span of the first period Thursday in a 5-4 overtime setback at San Jose. "We have to play better. We need to go back to work and play our game for 60 minutes."

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, FSN Carolinas, FSN West (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (11-10-6): Jeff Skinner scored his second goal in four outings on Thursday and has nine points (four goals, five assists) in his last 13 games. The 25-year-old is on the cusp of moving up on a pair of the franchise's all-time lists, as he sits two goals shy of passing Pat Verbeek (192) for seventh place and is one point short of passing Sami Kapanen (348) for 12th place. Derek Ryan, who scored twice last season versus the Kings, has five points (one goal, four assists) in his last seven games.

ABOUT THE KINGS (19-8-3): Defenseman Drew Doughty helped Los Angeles overcome a late regulation goal from the Senators by increasing his point total to 10 (one goal, nine assists) in his last eight games by scoring 32 seconds into overtime. "We just don't give up, whether we're down, whether we're up, we're trying to play the same way,” the 2016 Norris Trophy winner said. "When we were losing games, we were up and down. When we would score we would get too high and we're trying to stay level, and I think we're doing a great job of that and that's why we're winning." A few key statistics might also help Doughty's case, as the Kings are averaging 3.06 goals per game this season while ranking first in goals-against (2.20) and penalty-killing percentage (89.0).

OVERTIME

1. Los Angeles has won eight of its last 10 home games versus Carolina.

2. The Hurricanes have been outscored 11-3 in the second period in their last eight contests.

3. The Kings will bid for their first eight-game win streak since Feb. 7-24, 2015.

Big profits could come from betting these small-conference college hoops teams
Zack Cimini

Memphis is 5-2, but its last three wins have come by a combined five points and trailed at halftime against the likes of Samford and Mercer.

Team to Watch: Elon Phoenix

This week at UNC-Greenboro Spartans

Thursday, Elon will travel to UNC Greensboro aiming for their first road win of the season. Thus far they are 0-3 on the road while UNC-Greenboro is 4-0 at home.

Yet, Elon faced Duke in one of three road matchups along with Furman and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Against Wisconsin-Milwaukee they lost by a point 72-71, and held a halftime lead over Furman.

The spotlight loss for UNC-Greenboro is a head-scratcher against Presbyterian. They'll need to showcase focus from the onset against an Elon team that will be aiming to get the road monkey off their backs.

Team to Beware - Memphis Tigers

This week vs. Bryant Bulldogs

A program that has endured a rough transition has been the Memphis Tigers. The loss of Josh Pastner to Georgia Tech took a critical toll on the program last season.

Record-wise one cannot see the indication of a struggling program. At 5-2 straight up they've been able to mask the non box score glaring issues.

Yet, in their last three wins they've won by a combined five points. At halftime of both of their latest wins they were down by nine points against Samford and Mercer.

Facing a Bryant team that is 1-7 could finally cave the issues Memphis has been able to overcome. Another sloppy start and look for a team that's looking for confidence to pounce on the opportunity.

Total team: Northern Illinois Huskies

This Week vs. Central Connecticut Blue Devils

Teams from the MAC are use to nationwide exposure as part of ESPN3's consistent coverage of every game. Yet, a streamed game available versus a network televised game are vastly different.

Northern Illinois is coming off a 94-80 loss in a televised game against Iowa State. In the contest Northern Illinois guard Eugene German showed that he can play to the caliber of an elite rated guard. He scored 28 points in an array of ways and had the Huskies up two at halftime. His twenty points per game average may entice bettors Saturday against Central Connecticut State to glance at the total.

Yet Central Connecticut State is riding a five-game win streak and will already be coming off a Wednesday matchup in Chicago against DePaul. They'll be tested and ready to clamp down defensively.

Preview: Wizards at Clippers


The Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers are both missing star players, one team just happens to be dealing with the situation a little better. The Wizards, who are without All-Star point guard John Wall, will go for their third straight win when they visit the Clippers on Saturday.

Wall sat out the last seven games and is expected to miss at least the last two games of the current road trip, but Washington is doing just fine of late while leaning on shooting guard Bradley Beal. The Wizards were embarrassed 116-69 in the opener of the road trip at Utah on Monday before encouraging Beal to be more aggressive offensively and were rewarded with a 106-92 win at Portland on Tuesday before easing past the Phoenix Suns 109-99 on Thursday. The Clippers are without All-Star power forward Blake Griffin (knee) for the next two months and fell to 0-4 since his injury when they dropped a 113-107 decision at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Griffin was leading the team in scoring (23.6 points) and assists (5.1) while adding 7.9 rebounds and Los Angeles is still trying to figure out its rotations without him in the lineup.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, NBCS Washington, Prime Ticket (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (14-11): Beal exploded for a career-high 51 points in the win at Portland and followed that up by dominating a smaller Phoenix backcourt and finishing with 34 points on 13-of-22 shooting. "A lot of teams take away my 3-ball," Beal told reporters. "But I don't force it. I take what the defense gives me. They put (5-10 point guard Tyler) Ulis on me a few times and I feel like I can shoot right over him, nothing against him. I feel like I can take advantage of that matchup." Beal was held to an average of 12.5 points in four games before totaling 85 in the last two contests.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (8-15): Los Angeles got one player back from injury on Wednesday when Danilo Gallinari (glute) returned from a 13-game absence. Gallinari, who struggled to seven points on 2-of-13 shooting in 26 minutes, reentered the starting lineup at his natural small forward spot but will be expected to shoulder some of Griffin's power forward duties. "He didn't have his legs yet," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters of Gallinari. "I don't know how good he'll be next game. It's going to take him a couple of games. ... Having Gallo back will be huge."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Clippers SG Lou Williams is averaging 25.2 points and 6.4 assists over the last five games.

2. Washington C Marcin Gortat totaled eight points on 3-of-16 shooting in the last three games.

3. The teams split two meetings last season, with Los Angeles earning a 133-124 home win on March 29 behind 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists from Griffin.

Preview: Heat at Nets


The Brooklyn Nets traded away most of their top draft picks over the last few seasons but made some up in a trade on Thursday. The Nets, who serve as host in Mexico City to the Miami Heat on Saturday, picked up center Jahlil Okafor as the centerpiece of a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brooklyn sent veteran power forward Trevor Booker and his $9.125 million salary in the final year of an expiring contract to the 76ers in exchange for Okafor, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 draft, shooting guard Nik Stauskas, who was the No. 8 overall pick in 2014, and a second-round pick. "It's an opportunity for both teams to move forward in a little bit of a different direction," Nets general manager Sean Marks told reporters. "I think we get an opportunity to get a look at two young guys, we get a pick, and we replenish some of the assets that we need and move forward with some of these guys." The Heat are losers of four of their last five games and spent the last two games getting whipped by Western Conference powers Golden State and San Antonio by a combined 40 points. Miami dropped its last three on the road and began a stretch with six of eight away from home at San Antonio on Wednesday.

TV: 6 p.m. ET, NBATV, FS Sun (Miami), YES (Brooklyn)

ABOUT THE HEAT (11-13): Miami felt better about the way it played at the Spurs, when it totaled 18 made 3-pointers and handed out 28 assists in a 117-105 setback. "It was one of our better, at least coherent games, other than the (18) turnovers," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters. "We just have to get our hands around that and figure out how to get those numbers down. But we had some coherent actions to get the ball where we wanted it to go, the right people handling in certain spots. That was a little bit of an improvement." Shooting guard Tyler Johnson made his own improvement by scoring 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting after failing to reach 20 in any of his last 18 games.

ABOUT THE NETS (10-14): Brooklyn is playing two games in Mexico City and can sweep its trip on Saturday after earning a 100-95 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. "It was about staying together and being aggressive," small forward Rondae-Hollis Jefferson told Newsday of playing in Mexico City. "The altitude was tough. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. Credit the performance staff for putting together a process of playing, and it worked for us." Reserve point guard Caris LeVert scored a team-high 21 points in the win and is 13-of-23 from the floor in the last two games while totaling 16 assists.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Nets waived SG Sean Kilpatrick to clear space for the new players.

2. Heat PG Goran Dragic scored in single figures in four of the last five games.

3. Miami took the last five in the series by an average of seven points.

PREDICTION: Heat 108, Nets 101

Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

The Los Angeles Lakers snapped a five-game losing streak in dramatic fashion to open their road trip, and they hope to build off that victory when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Brandon Ingram capped a 21-point effort with the decisive 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left to give the Lakers a 107-104 win in Philadelphia on Thursday.

"He's really taken some nice steps forward the last week or two as far as just his overall presence and his overall leadership on the practice court, the game court," coach Luke Walton told reporters of Ingram, who is averaging 19.3 points over a 10-game stretch. All five starters and two reserves scored in double figures for Los Angeles, which is nearly halfway through a 10-game stretch in which it plays both Golden State and Houston twice, Cleveland once and six opponents on the road. Charlotte may offer a soft landing during the difficult portion of the schedule, as the Hornets have lost six of seven and will have had little rest from an overtime loss to the NBA-worst Chicago Bulls on Friday night. Dwight Howard had 25 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks in the loss as Charlotte fell to 8-5 at home.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles), FSN Southeast Charlotte

ABOUT THE LAKERS (9-15): Rookie Lonzo Ball had 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists - including one on the game-winner by Ingram - to go along with four blocks and three steals in a stat sheet-stuffing effort Thursday. The target of fans in opposing arenas, Ball seems to enjoy having a target on his back and is averaging 10.5 points and 7.3 assists while shooting 37.1 percent on the road, compared to 7.2 points, 6.8 assists and a woeful 27.2 percent mark at home. "Right when they called my name, they were ready to go," he told the media when discussing the fans in Philadelphia. "They were going after us. It's always fun playing like that though."

ABOUT THE HORNETS (9-15): Kemba Walker scored 20 points in the loss to Chicago and he is averaging 24.3 points in three games since returning from a shoulder injury, but he's shooting 37.7 percent in that span. Howard notched his first double-double in four December games after finishing November with six straight in that category and Charlotte may continue to lean on their big man with injuries surrounding his support team. Reserve 7-footers Frank Kaminsky (ankle) and Cody Zeller (knee) both sat Friday and Zeller is out indefinitely due to a torn meniscus.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Hornets PG Michael Carter-Williams is 4-for-19 from the floor over a three-game stretch and is shooting 25 percent in 12 games this season.

2. Lakers rookie F Kyle Kuzma is averaging 13.5 points on 44.3 percent on the road and 18.6 and 52.8 percent at home.

3. Charlotte has won five straight meetings.

Preview: Magic at Hawks
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

Leading scorer Aaron Gordon will be out of the lineup due to a concussion when the Orlando Magic visit the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The 22-year-old forward was injured when he collided with Denver guard Gary Harris in Friday's 103-89 home loss to the Nuggets and won't play again until he clears the NBA's concussion protocol.

Gordon has been a bright spot while averaging a team-best 18.7 points for the Magic, who have dropped 12 of their past 15 games. "Yeah, it's tough, but everybody in the league has injuries," Magic coach Frank Vogel said afterward. "You know we can't feel sorry for ourselves now. We have to go get a win (Saturday) night." Atlanta has lost four of its last five games and one of the setbacks came against the Magic in Wednesday's 110-106 overtime loss. Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon, who averages 11.1 points and 7.8 rebounds, is expected to miss his fifth straight game due to a leg injury.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Orlando), FSN Southeast (Atlanta)

ABOUT THE MAGIC (11-16): Swingman Evan Fournier will miss his second straight game since being hurt against the Hawks during a 27-point effort on Wednesday and the team hasn't yet announced a timetable for his return. Fournier, who is Orlando's second-leading scorer at 18.3 points per game, didn't make the trip to Atlanta but is hopeful his absence won't be a lengthy one. "It shouldn't be too long, honestly," Fournier told reporters before Friday's loss to the Nuggets. "I don't know what it's going to be like. It's going to be day-to-day, obviously. I'm pretty positive."

ABOUT THE HAWKS (5-19): Point guard Dennis Schroder has emerged as the club's top scorer and is averaging 24 points over the past four games. Schroder scored 26 points in Wednesday's loss to Orlando for his 13th 20-point outing of the campaign but was just 10-of-26 shooting. Second-year forward Taurean Prince is averaging 12.5 points and tallied 19 on 6-of-8 shooting against the Magic after being just 11-of-34 shooting over the previous three games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Hawks have won 11 of the past 14 home matchups with the Magic.

2. Orlando C Nikola Vucevic had 21 points and 17 rebounds in Friday's loss after having 22 points and 16 rebounds against the Hawks.

3. Atlanta F John Collins (shoulder) will miss his fourth straight contest and is expected to miss another week to 10 days.

Preview: 76ers at Cavaliers
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

The Cleveland Cavaliers saw their franchise record-tying winning streak snapped at 13 games and look to start a new run of victories when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. The Cavaliers suffered a 106-102 road loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday, their first setback since losing to the Houston Rockets on Nov. 9.

"Streaks are meant to be broken obviously," forward LeBron James told reporters afterward. "We knew this would be a tough game for us. They're playing extremely well at home. We gave ourselves a chance, and that's all you can ask for." Cleveland has a streak to protect against Philadelphia as it has rolled off 10 consecutive victories against the 76ers, including a 113-91 win on Nov. 27 when James contributed 30 points and 14 rebounds. Philadelphia is opening up a three-game road trip after dropping consecutive home contests to the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. Star center Joel Embiid scored 33 points in Thursday's 107-104 loss to the Lakers but will be rested Saturday on the front end of a back-to-back, while point guard Ben Simmons is coming off a triple-double (12 points, 15 assists, 13 rebounds) against Los Angeles.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCSN Philadelphia, FSN Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE 76ERS (13-11): Philadelphia acquired veteran forward Trevor Booker (averages of 10.1 points, 6.6 rebounds) from the Brooklyn Nets for center Jahlil Okafor, guard Nik Stauskas and a second-round pick in 2019. Booker will be with the team on Saturday and is excited about the potential of the young squad that appears to be on the rise. "Hopefully we can continue to play well and if we do get into the playoffs, it'll be a great experience, especially for the young guys," Booker told HoopsHype. "It'll be great to get back to that (playoff) atmosphere. We're just going to keep building and keep improving that chemistry. We want to just keep getting better and progress throughout the season."

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (18-8): Cleveland has scored 100 or more points in 19 consecutive games and the postgame chatter was focused on seeing if the team could run off another long stretch of victories. "Got a very confident unit and we talked about it in the locker room, gotta start a new streak," Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue told reporters. "It was a good streak and came in here and got beat." Shooting guard J.R. Smith matched his season best of five 3-pointers against the Pacers to raise his career total to 1,826, one behind 12th-place Kobe Bryant on the all-time list.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The 76ers have dropped their last seven visits to Cleveland.

2. Injured Cavaliers PG Derrick Rose (ankle) said Friday that he has a bone spur that may require surgery.

3. Philadelphia F Dario Saric (left eye laceration) could miss his second straight game.

Preview: Knicks at Bulls
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

The New York Knicks once again took advantage of their time in Madison Square Garden to right some wrongs, but they have yet to solve their issues away from home. The Knicks will try for their first road victory in well over a month when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

New York snapped out of a 1-5 slide with a 99-88 victory over Memphis at home Wednesday night, improving to 11-5 in Manhattan, compared to 1-7 on the road. Courtney Lee scored 24 points and Kristaps Porzingis added 18 in his return from an ankle injury as the Knicks shot 52.2 percent and dominated the boards by a 42-27 margin. The Bulls have four wins on the season and two have come against the Charlotte Hornets, including a 119-111 triumph in overtime in North Carolina on Friday. Lauri Markkanen had 24 points - including five in the extra session - and 12 rebounds as Chicago snapped a 10-game slide.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), WGN (Chicago)

ABOUT THE KNICKS (12-12): Tim Hardaway Jr., who ranks second on the team in scoring, is out another two weeks or so and veteran Lance Thomas was solid in his first start in place of Hardaway in the win over Memphis. "He’s a true professional, man," Lee told reporters. "He knows every play. He's in practice doing his work early. He's a dude that you can hold accountable and he holds everybody accountable. When he gets in, he makes the most of his opportunity, and that's just going out there and playing hard." Thomas made his only two shots - including a 3-pointer - and each of his three free throws in the win, while Lee was 10-of-17 and hit 4-of-6 3-pointers.

ABOUT THE BULLS (4-20): Point guard Kris Dunn continues to fill the stat sheet and he finished Friday's win with 20 points, a season-high 12 assists, his third straight six-rebound effort and three steals. One of his backups, David Nwaba, has also made an impact with 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting off the bench over the last two games, contributing four assists and three blocked shots against Charlotte.

Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

While many of the NBA's elite teams have been built around power trios, the Milwaukee Bucks have quietly created one of their own. The Bucks will try to ride Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe to another win when they host the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Milwaukee's star threesome combined for 82 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, five steals and four blocks in Friday's 109-102 win over Dallas at home. The Bucks have won three straight at home and 10 of their last 14 overall, but one of the four losses on that stretch came in a 121-108 setback at Utah last month. That result was part of a six-game winning streak for the Jazz, who have since dropped back-to-back games against Oklahoma City and Houston. "It was definitely a good reminder," rookie guard Donovan Mitchell told reporters after the 112-101 loss to the Rockets. "It's easy when you go on certain streaks to go out there and go, 'We got this,' and be happy with it. This was definitely a good reminder game and we've definitely got a tough schedule coming up, so it was good to get it at the beginning of the month."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah), FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

ABOUT THE JAZZ (13-13): Utah is 6-9 with center Rudy Gobert in the lineup and he has been slow to get going since returning from a knee injury three games ago. The 25-year-old from France has just five made field goals in 76 total minutes while turning the ball over eight times in that span. "That's what they do," Gobert told reporters of the Rockets. "They're very aggressive. They don't have to play defense much, so they steal the ball, drag you off and that's what they do. I had five turnovers, and that's something we need to avoid."

ABOUT THE BUCKS (14-10): Friday's win came without starting guard Tony Snell, who was sidelined due to knee tendinitis. Backup point guard Malcolm Brogdon picked up some of the slack with 14 points and six assists in a season high-tying 41 minutes, and the second-year pro has scored in double figures in five straight games. Antetokounmpo scored 27 points and Brogdon added 19 while making 4-of-5 3-pointers in the loss to Utah earlier this season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Mitchell is averaging 28.6 points over a five-game hot streak.

2. Middleton has shot at least 54.5 percent from the field in six consecutive contests.

3. Jazz SG Rodney Hood (ankle) has missed six straight games and is close to a return, although he is not expected to play Saturday.

Preview: Thunder at Grizzlies
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

Carmelo Anthony is struggling with his shot and looks to break out of his scoring funk when the Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. Anthony made just 5-of-20 shots in Thursday's 100-95 loss to Brooklyn in Mexico City and is averaging just 10.8 points over his last four games.

Anthony is a porous 15-of-49 shooting over his last three contests and has gone six games without reaching 20 points during one of the worst funks of his 15-year NBA career. "For me, I think these past three, four games offensively has been the toughest stretch for me, as far as scoring the basketball, making shots," Anthony told reporters. "I don't think it had anything to with the altitude, for the most part. I think it's just, for me, this is a rough stretch for myself personally. Probably the roughest that I've had throughout my career." Anthony, who is averaging a career-low 18.1 points, looks to break out against a Memphis squad that lost 116-107 to Toronto on Friday - its 13th defeat in its last 14 games. "We're human, we see the records, we have a brain," Grizzlies small forward Chandler Parsons told reporters. "At the same time, we can't worry about that now. We still have 55, 60 games or whatever left. It's too early to start panicking, but it's tough."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FSN Oklahoma, FSN Southeast (Memphis)

ABOUT THE THUNDER (11-13): While Anthony's shot is ailing, fellow forward Paul George also is hurting with a right calf contusion that prevented him from playing against the Nets. George is listed as questionable for the contest against Memphis, and the injury comes after he scored 20 or more points three times during a four-game stretch. Point guard Russell Westbrook is averaging 29 points, 10 assists and 9.7 rebounds over his last three games and excelled against the Grizzlies last season, when he averaged 32 points, 10 rebounds and 8.5 assists in four contests.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (8-17): Memphis had a chance at a rare victory before scoring just 14 fourth-quarter points, and it had huge issues in transition as Toronto posted a 41-13 advantage in fast-break points. "We're kinda shooting ourselves in the foot, doing things we can control," Parsons told reporters. "Turning the ball over, giving them easy baskets. Things we work on every day and are not executing in the game. Not getting back in transition. It's frustrating, it's miserable and we gotta figure a way to get out of this." Guard Tyreke Evans poured in 27 points against the Raptors and is averaging 22.3 over his last four games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Thunder have won five of the last six meetings.

2. Memphis C Marc Gasol scored 20 points against Toronto and is averaging 21.3 over his last four contests.

3. Oklahoma City was just 12-for-24 from the free-throw line against Brooklyn and also had a 10-for-21 showing versus San Antonio earlier this month.

Preview: Spurs at Suns
Gracenote
Dec 9, 2017

While there have been conflicting reports about the potential return date of two-time All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard, one thing remains the same for the San Antonio Spurs: finding a way to win, even when shorthanded. After finishing off a flawless three-game homestand with a thrilling win over the Boston Celtics on the front end of a back-to-back, the Spurs open a three-game road trip Saturday against the Phoenix Suns.

Reports surfaced early Friday that Leonard, who has missed his team's first 26 games with right quadriceps tendinopathy, would make his season debut Saturday, but multiple sources later suggested the team is eyeing its next road game instead - Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks - as the most likely date. Despite losing Danny Green (left groin tightness) to injury early and playing without Tony Parker late, the Spurs used a 3-pointer from Manu Ginobili with five seconds left to defeat Boston 105-102 for their 14th victory in their last 18 games. "We got to remember we played the best team in the league - best defense in the league - without Kawhi, without Tony in the last few minutes and without Danny in the second half … we are proud of this win," Ginobili said. The Suns are headed in the opposite direction as San Antonio, dropping 14 of their last 19 following Thursday's 109-99 setback against the Washington Wizards.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (San Antonio), FSN Arizona (Phoenix)

ABOUT THE SPURS (18-8): Green traveled with the team after Friday's game and is a game-time decision versus the Suns while San Antonio opted to start Bryn Forbes after the break against Boston - and the second-year guard responded with two 3-pointers and a pair of steals over a career-high 35 minutes. Ginobili finished with 11 points in 24 minutes of action to become the fourth player in team history to top 26,000 career minutes, joining Tim Duncan, Parker and David Robinson. LaMarcus Aldridge tallied 27 points and 10 rebounds for his eighth 20-10 outing of the season after recording only three such games last year, while Pau Gasol had 14 points and 11 boards to remain the only Spur to play and start in every game this season.

ABOUT THE SUNS (9-18): With Devin Booker (24.3 points) expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a left groin strain, Phoenix added swingman Danuel House, who averaged 17.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 15 games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League. Rookie Josh Jackson (9.3 points, 21.6 minutes per game) replaced Booker in the lineup Thursday but his role did not change much, as he finished with 10 points in 24 minutes before fouling out. Tyson Chandler (9.8, 13th), who is questionable for Saturday due to a personal matter, and Alex Len (9.0, 16th) each rank inside the top 20 in the league rebounding and form one of three teammate duos exceeding nine boards per game.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Spurs have won 10 of the last 11 meetings.

2. Phoenix owns the longest active 3-point streak in the NBA at 1,085 - 23 shy of matching the league record set by the Mavericks (1999-2012). San Antonio's active streak of 1,001 ranks second.

3. Although he has yet to play more than 20 minutes, San Antonio is 7-0 with Parker in the lineup since his season debut on Nov. 27.

Preview: Rockets at Trail Blazers
Gracenote
Dec 8, 2017

The Houston Rockets might be the best team in the NBA right now as they blow past every opponent the schedule throws in front of them. The Rockets are winners of eight in a row -- all by double digits -- and will try to make it nine straight when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers in the finale of a three-game trip on Saturday.

Houston is undefeated since the return of point guard Chris Paul, who came within a rebound of a triple-double in a 112-101 victory at Utah on Thursday, which marked the closest margin of the last eight games. Paul is averaging 10.1 assists over the last eight games and handed out 13 in Thursday's triumph while James Harden scored 29 points to lead the offense. The Portland Trail Blazers have their own star backcourt in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum but can't seem to find their way into the win column quite as consistently and are losers of three in a row -- all at home. "I don't think we're playing well," Portland coach Terry Stotts told reporters after a 106-92 loss to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. "I think we've shown that we can play better with basically the same group of people last year. We know we can play better."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), NBCS Northwest (Portland)

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (19-4): Power forward Ryan Anderson was questionable on Thursday due to a back tightness but ended up playing and scored 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting. Anderson did most of his damage off feeds from Paul and is thriving with Paul and Harden around to draw the defense. "That's why I'm here -- to shoot the ball around guys that are great playmakers," Anderson told ESPN.com. "Having (Paul) here has just opened up the court so much more for me and all of our shooting ability. For me, it's just easier looks."

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (13-11): Lillard scored 30 points in Tuesday's loss to the Wizards but McCollum was held to 14 and Portland shot 41 percent from the floor in falling to 7-7 at home. "Every year at some point adversity is going to hit and I feel like this is the start of a little bit of that adversity for us," Lillard told reporters. "We've just got to keep playing. We've got to address what we're not doing good enough right now, so it doesn't keep going in this direction." McCollum is shooting 34.2 percent from the floor over the last four games, including 5-of-20 from 3-point range.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Rockets SG Eric Gordon is 8-of-38 from 3-point range over the last five games.

2. Trail Blazers C Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) left Tuesday's game but had x-rays come back negative and is day-to-day.

3. Houston took two of the three meetings last season but dropped a 117-107 decision at Portland in the final matchup on March 30.

The Charlotte Hornets are broken right now. They are 1-6 SU & 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. They just lost outright at home as double-digit favorites to the Bulls last night. And that game went into overtime, so the Hornets aren’t going to have a lot of energy for tonight’s game against the Lakers. The Lakers will be playing just their 2nd game in 6 days and will have plenty of energy. They are coming off a 107-104 upset win in Philadelphia as 8.5-point dogs and I expect them to pull off the upset here tonight over the Hornets as well. The Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings in Charlotte. The underdog is 20-6-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Give me the Lakers.

10* FREE NBA PICK (Lakers +5)
I had my eye on the Lakers in this matchup after they pulled out that big road win at Philadelphia on Thursday. That's the kind of win that can get a team going. More than anything, I'm not a big fan of this Hornets team. Charlotte is just 1-6 in their last 7 and are in a brutal spot here playing on no rest after an overtime game last night, where they lost to a Bulls team that's arguably the worst team in the league. With Kaminsky and Zeller both out with injuries and Jeremy Lamb questionable with a ankle injury, I just don't think Charlotte will have enough gas in the tank to be competitive here. Note that all 5 starters logged at least 33 minutes, with 4 of the 5 racking up at least 42. I'll take the points, but I really like LA to win here outright.

NBA | Knicks vs Bulls
Play on: Knicks -4 -102 at 5Dimes

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: New York Knicks -4
The Chicago Bulls are in a very difficult situation here. They just ended their 10-game losing streak with a 119-111 (OT) victory at Charlotte. Look for them to take a sigh of relief now and relax after ending that skid.
But the Bulls will also be fatigued, obviously. They will now be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back and their 3rd game in 4 days. Robin Lopez played 43 minutes, Kris Dunn 4, Justin Holiday 39, Lauri Markkanen 34 and David Nwaba 32 last night. They aren’t going to have much left in the tank tonight, especially after the long flight from Charlotte back to Chicago.
Meanwhile, the Knicks come in well-rested and ready to go. They have had two days off since a 99-88 home win over Memphis on Wednesday. They just recently got a healthy Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter back in the lineup. They’ll be looking to exploit the tired Bulls here Saturday night.
The Knicks simply own the Bulls, going 5-0 SU & 5-0 ATS IN the last five meetings, winning all five games by 8 points or more. New York is 7-2 ATS in its last nine vs. a team with a losing record. The Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a win of more than 10 points. Bet the Knicks Saturday.

Play on: 76ers +7½ -110 at 5Dimes

Philadelphia +7.5
The 76ers are in a nice spot here on Saturday and worthy of a play.
The Cavaliers saw their winning streak come to an end against the Pacers on Friday night and return home for a back to back 2nd leg here.
Cleveland is on the older side when it comes to age on the team, which won't necessarily bode well here in this 2nd leg of the back to back.
On top of that, the 76ers have been solid ATS. They've gone 15-9 this season and on the road a solid 7-4.
Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. 76ers are 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
This number is too high here.
Back Philadelphia.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Play on: Knicks -4 -110 at GTBets

I'm laying the points with the NY Knicks on Saturday. Chicago snapped their 10-game losing streak with a 119-111 OT win last night in Charlotte. Give the Bulls credit for finding their offense, but it was just their 4th win in 24 games this season and we don't suspect a winning streak is about to begin. They're 0-4 ATS both off a SU win and when playing without rest between games. The Knicks whipped Memphis last time out and did so without Tim Hardaway, who's out with a leg injury. His loss is baked into this number as far as we're concerned. We have a Knicks' team that's covered seven of their last nine against teams with a losing record, while covering five in a row in this series. I'm laying the points with the Knicks on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Play on: Wizards -2½ -109 at 5Dimes

Take the Washington Wizards minus the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Washington (14-11) has won two straight games without the injured John Wall with their 109-99 win in Phoenix on Thursday. The Wizards have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games on the road. Washington has also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games against teams with a losing record. Los Angeles (8-15) has lost four straight games with their 113-107 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday as the team continues to flounder with the once-again injured Blake Griffin. The Clippers have failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games after a straight-up loss. Los Angeles has also failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight home games against teams with a winning record at home. Take Washington minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

NCAA-B | Washington State vs UTEP
Play on: OVER 148½ -110

Washington State is looking to end a two game losing streak in Texas against UTEP. Wazzu's defense has steadily gotten worse as the season goes along. They allowed 91 to Idaho on the road and 81 to UC Davis as well. Robert Franks and Malachi Flynn are averaging over 36 points per game combined. UTEP is feeling good after a 88-76 home win over New Mexico last time out. They will be once again without Matt Wilms in the middle. That will make the Miners defense much worse considering he's their enforcer type. Extra pressure now on Keith Frazier and Omega Harris. UTEP has gone over in 14 of their last 21 games when the total is 140 to 149.5.

Play on: Cavs -7½ -110 at BMaker

This game features the 13-11 Sixers and the 18-8 Cavs. This game will be easy pickings as the Sixers will rest their star Joel Embid and this line just is too low. Cavs lost outrite last night at the Pacers and will not be to happy going into this one. Take the Cavaliers lay the points for 15* winner.

NCAA-B | Nebraska-Omaha vs Drake
Play on: Drake -7½ -105 at betonline



ASA PLAY ON Drake -7.5 over Nebraska Omaha, Sunday at 6:00 PM ET
This one sets up very well. Nebraska Omaha is a tired team right now. This is their 11th game in a 30 day stretch with 10 of them coming away from Omaha. This week alone they were @ Washington on Sunday, @ Cal Santa Barbara on Tuesday, and now in Iowa to play Drake on Saturday. UNO head coach Darrin Hansen admitted his team is tired and banged up right now. Speaking of banged up, one of the Mavs top players, Mitch Hahn (12 PPG, 7 RPG) was injured in Tuesday game @ UCSB and won’t play here. That makes it even tougher for a tired team that has been traveling for a month straight. Hansen is ready for this stretch to be over and so is his team. He said as much earlier this week speaking of their road stretch, “I’m looking forward to it to be over and so is our team.” This is their final road game of the 30 day stretch so it looks to us they are just ready to get this game over with and go home. Drake will be motivated here as these two have already played this year. It was UNO’s ONLY home game this season and they beat Drake 75-73 which was Omaha’s only win this season (1-7 record). That was just 12 days ago and Drake was favored by 4.5 in that game now they are just 7 to 7.5 at home. Drake is a solid shooting team ranking 54th nationally from beyond the arc and they are facing one of the worst defensive teams in the nation. UNO ranks 301st in the nation in defensive efficiency. Tired legs won’t help matters as we expect them to be worse than that today. Drake is also playing their first home game since November and this one sets up to be any easy win for the Bulldogs.
