RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 2 LIVE LIKE JERRY 7/2

# 4 KID CORREA 3/1

# 6 MISTER ANDER 8/1

My pick in this competition is LIVE LIKE JERRY. Jeansonne has shown excellent profits (+51 ROI ) with horses in dirt sprint events. The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Jeansonne running at this distance are the top in this field. KID CORREA - Must be given a chance based on the strong Equibase Speed Figure posted in the last outing. The average class fig of 47 makes this entrant tough to beat. MISTER ANDER - Has very good front-end speed and should fare solidly against this field.

# 1 HEY HEY 6/1

# 2 DIDARAJ 30/1

# 5 LOOKTHEOTHERWAY 1/1

HEY HEY gets the edge as the wager in here. Felix has been scorching the last month, winning at a nifty 16 percent clip. This filly must be carefully examined just off the earnings per start in dirt sprint races alone. DIDARAJ - Some formidable numbers have been posted by this trainer's runners racing at this distance and surface. LOOKTHEOTHERWAY - With a nice Equibase class rating average of 76, has one of the most respectable class advantages in this group. Earned a very strong speed rating last time out.

Parx Racing - Race #2 - Post: 12:52pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $18,000 Class Rating: 63

Rating: 4

#3 I'M SLEEPING IN (ML=3/1)


I'M SLEEPING IN - This filly is in nice physical condition, having run a good race on Dec 2nd, finishing third. You have to be keen on that most recent race figure, 49, which is the best latest race speed figure of this group. Earnings per race entered is something that I think can be a valuable handicapping aspect. This racer is ranked numero uno in this bunch.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1A MY AUNT LILLY (ML=9/5), #1 HELLO MOON (ML=9/5), #6 AGELESS TALES (ML=4/1),

MY AUNT LILLY - The ninth place finish position in the last race was not the best. HELLO MOON - That was just not a very good display in the last race. AGELESS TALES - Tough to like the downward moving flow (53/38/33) of speed ratings. Awfully hard to wager on this vulnerable equine when she hasn't been showing any signs of life lately. If you keep selecting these kind of 'hanger' types, you're going to be disillusioned most of the time.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #3 I'M SLEEPING IN to win. Have to have odds of at least 1/1 or better though

#8 MISIA SEKIGUCHI (ML=3/1)
#3 CASH DANCE (ML=2/1)
#2 BYE BYE BUNTING (ML=8/1)


MISIA SEKIGUCHI - Last out, this one was in a race at Turfway Park in a race with an Equibase class figure of 75. Dropping drastically in class rating in today's event puts her in a solid position in this field. Be loyal to this horse. No other viable speed gives this equine a strong chance at the winner's circle. That 62 fig this mare recorded in her last event tells me she's a key player this time. CASH DANCE - Was in a $5,000 Claiming race at Turfway Park last time out. That clash had a class rating of 74 and she is moving down today. A certain solid contender. This race horse is going to improve off of her last event on Dec 8th. She showed good mid-race velocity last race out before running evenly in the lane. Have to like the way Stinson has raced this mare back into shape off the layoff. Equine is well spotted in this sprint and I think she'll run well today. BYE BYE BUNTING - Aboard this horse on Dec 8th and Deleon is back again in the irons this time. Deleon and Brownfield perform well when they team up. It's hard to beat a +357 return on investment for a jock and conditioner. Trainer Brownfield moves this horse down in class to face a lower rated field. Look for a sharp performance in here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 PINK FREUD LIVE (ML=3/1),

PINK FREUD LIVE - Won't be easy for this thoroughbred to beat this group off of that last speed rating. Doubtful to improve enough to run a figure close to today's Equibase class figure, so put her on the vulnerable competitors list.

Essential Week 16 betting tidbits and odds for NFL Saturday

Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens (-13.5, 41)

The Indy offense is in the toilet. The Colts are averaging just 10 points per game over their last three contests – albeit against the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 23 defenses in the league.

The Ravens have gone the other direction. Baltimore was averaging just 18.6 points per game after Week 7 and is averaging 36.3 over its last three contests.

LINE HISTORY: The Ravens opened just under the two-touchdown mark at -13.5 and that’s where the line has stayed put. The total opened at 41.5 and is coming down at most shops some as low as 40.5.

TRENDS:

*The Colts are 0-4 ATS in their last four games.
*The Ravens are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games.
*The under is 6-0 in the Colts’ last six games.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (+9, 40.5)

Aaron Rodgers' cameo season comeback is over. The Packers are eliminated from the playoffs and won’t risk further injury to their franchise quarterback.

For the Pack to have any shot of toppling the Minnesota Vikings, they’ll need to do a better job inside their 20-yard line on defense. Green Bay’s opponents score touchdowns 69 percent of the time once inside the red zone – a mark that puts GB second to last in the league.

LINE HISTORY: The line opened with the Vikings favored by nine points and there are a few locations coming down to 8.5. The total opened as high as 41.5 and has come down to as low as 40.5.

TRENDS:

*The Vikings are 41-16 ATS in their last 57 games.
*The over is 21-6 in the Packers’ last 27 games.

Week 16

Saturday NFL Betting Preview and Odds: Colts at Ravens

Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens (-13.5, 41)

The Baltimore Ravens find themselves in a familiar position as last season with two games remaining on their schedule, albeit with a favorable twist. Instead of two tough road games on their slate like in 2016, the Ravens begin a stretch of consecutive contests at M&T Bank Stadium with Saturday's tilt versus the reeling Indianapolis Colts.

"We got to remind ourselves that we were 8-6 last year and we didn't get it done. Let that drive us," safety Eric Weddle said of his team that is bidding to secure its first postseason berth since 2014. Baltimore currently resides on the outside looking in based on the strength-of-victory tiebreaker with current No. 6 seed Buffalo, but the Ravens will vault ahead with a win regardless of Sunday's outcome for the Bills based on common games. Like Baltimore, Indianapolis simplified its postseason plans - as in, ended them - with losses in eight of its last nine games, including five straight in which it failed to score over 17 points. "We understand where we're at; we understand what the record is," coach Chuck Pagano said. "But we've got two more opportunities and thank God we have two more opportunities. We get another opportunity to go compete. We'll prepare and do what we're supposed to do."

TV: 4:30 p.m. ET, NFL Network.

POWER RANKINGS: Colts (+5.5) - Ravens (-1) + home field (-3) = Ravens -9.5.

LINE HISTORY: The Ravens opened as 13.5-point home chalk at most books and has yet to move off the opening number. The total hit the betting board at 41.5 and is down slightly to an even 41.

WEATHER REPORT: 62 down to 55 degrees and overcast during the game - winds at 12 to 14mph and a 50% chance of rain

INJURY REPORT:

Colts - TE Darrell Daniels (Day-to-Day, Hamstring), WR Donte Moncrief (Day-to-Day, Ankle), CB Nate Hairston (Day-to-Day, Concussion), TE Brandon Williams (Day-to-Day, Concussion), OT Denzelle Good (Day-to-Day, Knee), LB Jeremiah George (Day-to-Day, Neck), WR T.Y. Hilton (Day-to-Day, Hand), CB Rashaan Melvin (Out Indefinitely, Hand), C Ryan Kelly (I-R, Concussion), LB Jon Bostic (I-R, Knee), LB Jack Mewhort (Questionable Week 16, Knee).

Ravens - G Jermaine Eluemunor (Day-to-Day, Shoulder), WR Jeremy Maclin (Day-to-Day, Knee), DT Carl Davis (Day-to-Day, Leg).

ABOUT THE COLTS (3-11 SU, 6-8 ATS, 6-8 O/U): Jacoby Brissett has been battered to the tune of sustaining a league-high 49 sacks this season, with linebacker Terrell Suggs (team-leading 11 sacks) anxiously awaiting to get his piece of the pie for Baltimore. Tight end Jack Doyle (team-leading 71 catches) is one of the rare bright spots on an ailing Colts' offense, as he reeled in seven receptions for the second time in four games in a 25-13 loss to Denver on Dec. 14. Impressive to be certain, but Indianapolis is in the midst of a season it would like to forget, highlighted by a 31st-ranked offense, 30th-ranked defense and the lack of a Pro Bowl selection for the first time in 20 years.

ABOUT THE RAVENS (8-6 SU, 8-5-1 ATS, 8-6 O/U): Joe Flacco threw for a touchdown and rushed for another in a 27-10 victory over winless Cleveland on Sunday. The 32-year-old has gashed the Colts for four scores in his last two encounters at home and is four touchdown passes shy of becoming first quarterback in franchise history with 200-plus in his career. Alex Collins has rushed for five touchdowns in his past five games while fellow running back Javorius Allen ran for a team-leading 70 yards versus the Browns. Baltimore's opportunistic defense has provided some offense of its own, scoring five touchdowns while forcing 33 takeaways this season.

TRENDS:

* Colts are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

* Ravens are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

* Under is 6-0 in Colts last 6 games overall.

* Under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings.

* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The public is siding with the road dog Colts at a rate of 56 percent and the Over is getting 52 percent of the totals action.

Week 16

Saturday Night NFL Betting Preview and Odds: Vikings at Packers

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (+9, 40.5)

The Minnesota Vikings already have wrapped up the NFC North title but there still is plenty at stake when they pay a visit to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night. While Green Bay is out of playoff contention, the Vikings are in the hunt for a first-round bye and have an outside shot at home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

While Minnesota would need Philadelphia to lose twice to have a chance to secure the No. 1 overall seed, it will clinch a first-round bye with a win over the Packers and a loss or tie by Carolina. The Vikings received a boost when Green Bay was knocked out of the playoff chase and quarterback Aaron Rodgers was placed on injured reserve, but they are not taking their bitter division rivals lightly. "I feel like any team that's not in it, that should be their mentality. Be the spoiler," said defensive tackle Linval Joseph, one of Minnesota's four Pro Bowl selections. "Be the team who has the opportunity to expose that team. Right now, we're playing this game not to be exposed." Rodgers, who returned from a broken collarbone in last week's 31-24 at Carolina, went on injured reserve Tuesday -- one day after the Packers were eliminated from the playoff chase for the first time since 2008.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC.

POWER RANKINGS: Vikings (-5) - Packers (2) + home field (-3) = Vikings -6

LINE HISTORY: The Vikings opened as 9-point road chalk at most books and has yet to move off the opening number. The total hit the betting board at 40 and was bet up as high as 41, before fading back to 40.5.

WEATHER REPORT: 12 degrees and partly cloudy at kickoff - 9 to 10 mph winds and no chance of precipitation

INJURY REPORT:

Vikings - OT Riley Reiff (Day-to-Day, Ankle), CB Mackensie Alexander (Day-to-Day, Ribs), WR Jarius Wright (Day-to-Day, Foot), TE Blake Bell (I-R, Shoulder).

Packers - QB Aaron Rodgers (Day-to-Day, Collarbone), CB Davon House (Day-to-Day, Back), DT Quinton Dial (Day-to-Day, Chest), WR Davante Adams (Day-to-Day, Concussion), LB Nick Perry (Day-to-Day, Ankle), CB Demetri Goodson (Out, Hamstring), T Kyle Murphy (Questionable Week 16, Foot), CB Kevin King (I-R, Shoulder), RB Ty Montgomery (I-R, wrist).

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (11-3 SU, 10-4 ATS, 7-7 O/U): Case Keenum had a pedestrian performance against the Packers two months ago, but he has posted a passer rating above 100 in five of the last six games, including a 138.4 mark last week when he completed a season-high 87 percent (20 of 23, 2 TDs) of his passes. Wideout Adam Thielen, also named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday, had nine catches in the first meeting this season and torched Green Bay for a career-high 202 yards with 12 catches and two TDs last December at Lambeau Field. The backfield tandem of Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon continues to supply outstanding production, with each going over 100 yards from scimmage last weekend. The Vikings lead the NFC in both points (17.3) and total yards (283.9) yards, and are yielding 85.3 yard on the ground.

ABOUT THE PACKERS (7-7 SU, 7-7 ATS, 10-4 O/U): After Rodgers had his collarbone broken in the first meeting against the Vikings, Brett Hundley stepped in and threw three interceptions while being sacked four times in a 23-10 loss. Hundley did get better as the season progressed, going 3-4 as a starter and tossing six touchdowns versus one pick in his last three games, but he could be without the services of top wide receiver Davante Adams, who is in the concussion protocol after taking an illegal hit to the head in last weekend's loss. Wideout Jordy Nelson had only 22 catches in Hundley's seven starts, but Randall Cobb has come alive with 15 receptions and a TD over the past two games. The Packers are allowing an average of 23.8 points and have held only once team (Chicago, twice) under 20 points since Week 1.

TRENDS:

* Vikings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

* Packers are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

* Over is 4-1 in Vikings last 5 road games.

* Over is 6-1 in Packers last 7 vs. NFC North.

* Underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The public is siding with the home dog Packers at a rate of 56 percent and the Over is getting 66 percent of the totals action.

Preview: Bucks at Hornets
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

The Milwaukee Bucks' dynamic trio sparked a dramatic win Friday night and they will try to lead the Bucks to a sweep of a home-and-home set with the Charlotte Hornets when the teams head to North Carolina on Saturday.

Milwaukee scored the final nine points in a 109-104 victory over the Hornets at home Friday, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe scoring all the points during the decisive run. The trio combined for 78 points on 50 percent shooting to go along with 16 assists, 15 rebounds, four steals and four blocked shots to propel the Bucks to their eighth win in the last 12 games. The Hornets have lost 12 of 15 but at least got a solid effort from star point guard Kemba Walker, who broke out of a mini slump with 32 points on 13-of-21 shooting. However, Walker left the floor after hitting his head in the fourth quarter and he will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Charlotte.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), FSN Southeast (Charlotte)

ABOUT THE BUCKS (17-13): Bledsoe is averaging 25 points over the last two games and he handed out a season-high 10 assists in Friday's win. Middleton was the high scorer with 28 and he has scored at least 20 in eight of the past 11 contests, shooting 50 percent or better in seven of those 11 games. Milwaukee signed former Brooklyn Nets guard Sean Kilpatrick earlier this week and he made his debut against the Hornets, contributing five points, three rebounds and two assists in 10 productive minutes.

ABOUT THE HORNETS (11-21): In addition to losing Walker at the end of Friday's loss, Charlotte played the bulk of the contest without star center Dwight Howard. Howard told reporters after the game that his left ring finger kept popping out and he was unsure if he would be able to play Saturday. That could yield some more minutes for 7-footer Frank Kaminsky, who scored 16 points in the loss and is averaging 15 in three meetings with Milwaukee.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Antetokounmpo has at least 25 points in all 10 games in December.

2. Hornets F Marvin Williams had 15 points and 10 rebounds Friday for his second double-double of the season.

3. Bucks F John Henson has made 21-of-30 shots over his last five games.

PREDICTION: Bucks 107, Hornets 102

The last time the Indiana Pacers were on their home floor they walked off with their heads hanging low. After righting the ship with a road win against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, the Pacers return to Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Saturday looking to end a three-game home losing streak when they host the Brooklyn Nets.

Indiana made a startling comeback against the Boston Celtics in its last home game before blowing a five-point lead in the closing seconds with a bad turnover by Bojan Bogdanovic leading to the game-winning basket for the visitors. Bogdanovic came back with 19 points and a pair of steals in Wednesday's 105-95 win over the Hawks, as the Pacers were able to put the gut-wrenching loss in the rear view mirror. "That's what it's all about, responding," guard Lance Stephenson told the team's website about Bogdanovic. "You make a mistake, you respond the next game. When you've got a good group of teammates who encourage you to keep pushing and don't worry about mistakes, it's always a blessing to have that. I think he was mad, but he got over it and you saw in the next game he played unbelievable." The Nets snapped a four-game losing streak that included a loss to Indiana with a 119-84 rout of Washington at home Friday night.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), FSN Indiana

ABOUT THE NETS (12-19): Brooklyn gave up an average of 111 points during its four-game slide but turned the tables by holding the Wizards to 36.6 percent shooting, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson led the way with 21 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, while Spencer Dinwiddie buried 4-of-5 3-pointers en route to 15 points. Backup Nik Stauskas also hit four triples and he is 10-for-19 beyond the arc since being acquired from Philadelphia earlier this month.

ABOUT THE PACERS (18-14): Victor Oladipo scored 23 points to lead the scoring for Indiana in Wednesday's win and is averaging 29.1 points on 50.5 percent shooting this month. Center Myles Turner followed up his worst game of the season (two points, 0-of-3 shooting) in the loss to the Celtics by recording 20 points, six rebounds, three blocks and two assists versus the Hawks. Turner is averaging 18.5 points on 62.5 percent to go along with 10 rebounds and three blocks in a pair of wins over Brooklyn this season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pacers PG Darren Collison is 9-for-14 from 3-point range over his last six games.

2. Brooklyn outrebounded Washington 60-35.

3. Indiana has won five straight meetings.

Preview: Magic at Wizards
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

The Washington Wizards had a healthy John Wall hitting his stride and seemingly had figured things out following a recent slump, but their most recent result suggests there is still plenty of work to be done. The Wizards will try to bounce back from a lopsided road loss when they host the reeling Orlando Magic on Saturday.

Washington was 3-1 since Wall came back from a knee injury before it suffered an ugly 119-84 setback at Brooklyn on Friday, the squad's second-largest margin of defeat this season. "We got our butts kicked," coach Scott Brooks told reporters after his team shot 36.6 percent and was outrebounded 60-35. "Myself included. We seemed like a step slow all the way around." A silver lining in the loss was that Wall saw only 16 minutes of action as he prepares to play in both ends of a back-to-back for the first time since returning from the injury. Another silver lining lies in the fact that Washington gets to take on an Orlando team that has lost seven in a row and hasn't had a lead in the last three games.

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

ABOUT THE MAGIC (11-22): Injuries continue to play a major role in Orlando's slump as leading scorers Evan Fournier (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (calf) have missed seven straight and three straight, respectively, and both are considered doubtful to return Saturday. "We can't feel sorry for ourselves," coach Frank Vogel told reporters after Friday's 111-97 loss to New Orleans at home. "It's that simple. We're playing a game (Saturday) night." Jonathon Simmons continues to do his part in filling the gaps and he had 22 points against the Pelicans for his fifth 20-point effort in the last seven contests.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (17-15): Saturday's game offers a chance for leading scorer Bradley Beal to bounce back from perhaps his worst game of the season, as the sharpshooter was 2-for-15 from the floor and tied a season low with four points against the Nets. Otto Porter Jr. returned from a two-game layoff but managed just six points in 21 minutes as Wall's 10-point performance led the starters. Even backup forward Mike Scott, who was a phenomenal 53-of-72 from the floor over his previous eight games, struggled on the offensive end and finished 3-for-8 in 20 minutes.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Wall needs 19 points to move past Kevin Loughery (9,833) and into second place in franchise history.

2. Magic C Nikola Vucevic's string of seven consecutive double-doubles came to an end Friday as he finished with 21 points and eight rebounds.

3. The teams split four meetings last season and the average margin of victory was 3.5 points.

Preview: Mavericks at Hawks
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

Sustainable success have been fleeting for the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks, both of whom find themselves at the bottom of their respective conferences. A pair of cellar-dwellers coming off road losses in the first half of a back-to-back hope for better fortune Saturday when the Mavericks visit the league-worst Hawks.

Marco Belinelli exploded for 27 points Friday - his highest-scoring performance in nearly two years - but Atlanta surrendered a 3-pointer to Russell Westbrook with 1.7 seconds left to drop a 120-117 decision to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The defeat wasted a rally from a 16-point first-half deficit by the Hawks, who have yet to win consecutive games and are 2-7 against Western Conference opponents this season. Dallas has managed two two-game winning streaks but missed out on a third after falling 113-101 to the Miami Heat on Friday. The Mavericks allowed the Heat to score the first 12 points of each half and shoot 64 percent overall.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, KTXA (Dallas), FSN Southeast (Atlanta)

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (9-24): Devin Harris, who is doubtful for Saturday, was only able to log eight minutes Friday before leaving the game for good with an illness, opening the door for Yogi Ferrell to go 9-for-13 from the field - including a season-high five 3-pointers - en route to a season-high 23 points. Dirk Nowitzki set season highs Friday in minutes (32), points (20), made 3-pointers (six) and 3-point attempts (15). Harrison Barnes was the only other Maverick to reach double figures against the Heat with 20 points; the 25-year-old shooting forward has hit the 20-point mark in three straight outings and been limited to fewer than 10 points only twice this season.

ABOUT THE HAWKS (7-25): The Hawks nearly won Friday despite the absence of point guard Dennis Schroder (team-leading averages of 19.4 points and 6.7 assists), who sat out with a left ankle injury. Belinelli took advantage of his first start of the season by going 10-of-18 from the field - including 5-of-10 beyond the arc - while doubling his previous best point total of the month. Taurean Prince extended his streak of hitting at least one 3-pointer to a career-best 14 games and Ersan Ilyasova went 4-for-5 from long-range as Atlanta shot 15-for-32 beyond the arc Friday - the 19th time the Hawks buried at least 10 3-pointers and the 14th time they converted at least 40 percent of their tries.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Atlanta rookie F John Collins, who ranks fourth in the league in field-goal percentage (61.7), is averaging 17 points and nine rebounds over his last two contests.

2. Dallas' 22 rebounds Friday were the fewest by an NBA team this season.

3. Belinelli hit both of his foul shots against Miami to extend his streak of consecutive free throws to 28.

Preview: Bulls at Celtics
Gracenote
Dec 22, 2017

The Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls are at opposite ends of the standings in the Eastern Conference, but you'd never know it by the way the teams are playing of late. The Bulls will go for their eighth win in nine games when they visit the slumping Boston Celtics on Saturday.

Chicago nearly pushed its winning streak to eight in a row before falling just short in a 115-112 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers and felt like it should have pulled out the close game. "There's a reason we were on that winning streak," Bulls point guard Kris Dunn told reporters. "We had an edge. We played tough. It just sucks that the way we've won close games is defensive stops and we couldn't get them tonight." The way the Celtics won 16 straight earlier this season had a lot to do with defensive stops as well, but Boston's struggles of late are coming at the offensive end. "I honestly don't think there's much of a concern," center Al Horford told reporters after a 102-93 loss at New York on Thursday. "We just need to regroup, get as much rest as we can and get ready for a tough game on Saturday. I think we're going to be OK. I don't think we need to overreact."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, NBCS Boston

ABOUT THE BULLS (10-21): One of the wins during the recent surge came at home against Boston on Dec. 11, when Nikola Mirotic led the way with 24 points. Mirotic suffered his first loss since rejoining the team with Thursday's setback but managed 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting and is averaging 19 on 52.5 percent shooting over the last eight games. Rookie forward Lauri Markkanen missed the first five games of the streak with a back injury and struggled in his first two games back before breaking out for 25 points in Thursday's narrow defeat.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (26-9): Boston dropped back-to-back games for the first time since the opening two contests of the season with setbacks against Miami and the Knicks in the last two outings. "It's a long year," Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters after the loss in New York. "It's a marathon. I just told our guys, 'Listen, there's a lot of things we can improve on, but that was the kind of fight that we can build off of.' The last couple, not so much. This one, we'll be OK if we play like that more often than not." Kyrie Irving is trying to carry the scoring burden and put up at least 30 points in five of the last six games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Dunn scored in double figures in each of the last 10 games and handed out a season-high 14 assists on Thursday.

2. Celtics SG Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sat out Thursday and is day-to-day.

3. Boston beat Chicago in six games in the first round of the playoffs last spring.

Preview: Pelicans at Heat
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

The New Orleans Pelicans look to earn a split of a four-game road trip when they conclude the excursion with a contest against the Miami Heat on Saturday. Standout center DeMarcus Cousins had a strong outing while leading the Pelicans to a 111-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday after the club opened the trip with losses to the Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards.

Cousins had 26 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the victory over the Magic as New Orleans also ended a dubious streak of allowing 100 or more points in 12 consecutive games. "We're on the right path, but we're still learning each other, still finding our way," Cousins said afterward. "With some consistency, we can become a top team." Miami has won six of its past eight contests and recorded a 113-101 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday in the opener of a four-game homestand. Backup shooting guard Wayne Ellington drained a career-best eight 3-pointers while matching his personal high of 28 points as the Heat shot 63.9 percent from the field and went 16-of-25 from 3-point range.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN New Orleans, FSN Sun (Miami)

ABOUT THE PELICANS (16-16): Guard Jrue Holiday (24 points) and power forward Anthony Davis (20 points, 11 rebounds) also had 20-point outings against Orlando as the trio combined for 70 points on 29-of-45 shooting. Ending the 100-point streak and committing only 15 turnovers were crucial elements as New Orleans got back to the .500 mark. "I thought we did a good job with the turnovers, which didn't compromise our defense very much at all," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters. "And then I thought we did a good job of moving the basketball and finding open people, and I liked the pace that we played at. and I thought our shot selection was really good."

ABOUT THE HEAT (17-15): Starting shooting guard Dion Waiters (sprained ankle; X-rays were negative) departed in the first quarter, opening up increased playing time for Ellington, who made 10-of-16 from the field while reaching 20 points for the fifth time this season. "I really enjoy watching Wayne, I enjoy watching his routine," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said afterward. "He has one of the best workout shooting routines I've ever been around in 23 years. It doesn't guarantee he is going to have performances like this, but I think those are the championship habits we've seen." Forward Josh Richardson (24 points on 11-of-14 shooting) and guard Tyler Johnson (19 on 8-of-12) also had stellar performances for a team missing center Hassan Whiteside (knee), point guard Goran Dragic (elbow) as well as forwards James Johnson (ankle) and Justise Winslow (knee).

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Heat have won 12 of 17 home meetings with the Pelicans.

2. Holiday is averaging 25.1 points over the past nine games and has six efforts of 20 or more during the stretch.

3. Miami C Kelly Olynyk scored just 11 points against Dallas two nights after erupting for a career-best 32 against this former team (the Boston Celtics).

PREDICTION: Heat 107, Pelicans 103

Preview: Clippers at Grizzlies
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

If only for a brief moment over the first two or three weeks of the season, the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers appeared as if they could survive without the key cogs that led them to the playoffs last season. Although both squads have experienced much more disappointment since their first meeting, the Clippers attempt to build off their most impressive win of the season when they visit the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Los Angeles bolted to a 4-0 start despite losing Chris Paul in the offseason and was still 5-2 on Nov. 4 when it hosted Memphis, which held the Clippers to 4-of-26 beyond the arc in a 113-104 victory. That setback began a nine-game losing streak for Los Angeles, which is coming off Friday's surprising 128-118 victory at the Houston Rockets to improve to 5-7 without the injured Blake Griffin. Shortly after improving to 6-3 with their early November win at the Staples Center, the Grizzlies went on an 11-game slide that contributed to the firing of coach David Fizdale. Memphis, which lost its own star this offseason when Zach Randolph bolted in free agency, lost for the eighth time in nine tries Thursday as the Phoenix Suns' Troy Daniels - a former Grizzlie - hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 17 seconds left to send Memphis to a 97-95 defeat.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), FSN Southeast (Memphis)

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (13-18): Austin Rivers (15.4 points) and Lou Williams (20.2), who are both enjoying career years, combined for 68 points and 13-of-26 shooting beyond the arc in Friday's triumph, as Rivers exploded for a career-high 36 points and Williams poured in 32 off the bench. Williams, who entered the game leading the league in bench scoring (19.1 points), topped the 30-point mark for the third time in December and has posted a NBA-best five such performances from a reserve. Starting point guard Milos Teodosic (8.3 points, 4.6 assists) was rested Friday but will return Saturday; the 30-year has scored more than eight points only twice in five outings since returning from a 22-game absence due to a foot injury.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (9-23): Marc Gasol (18.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 blocks) is one of two players in the league (along with the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo) to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, but the three-time All-Star is listed as doubtful for Saturday with a left hip injury. Assuming Gasol sits, Tyreke Evans (18.4 points) will be the only healthy Grizzlies' player averaging at least 10 points, as Mike Conley (17.1) remains without a definite timetable in his return from an Achilles' injury. Evans is enjoying his finest offensive season since his rookie year in 2009-10, scoring in double figures in 28 games - including 13 20-point efforts.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Ten of the last 14 and 14 of the Grizzlies' last 20 opponents have shot at least 40 percent from 3-point range.

2. Jordan leads the NBA with seven 20-rebound games.

3. Memphis is 2-18 without Conley this season and 0-17 when shooting a lower percentage from the field than its opponent.

Preview: Thunder at Jazz
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

The Utah Jazz were routed by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday and aim to avenge the thrashing when the teams meet Saturday in Salt Lake City. The Jazz scored just nine first-quarter points and were never competitive in the game at Oklahoma City as the Thunder rolled to a 107-79 victory.

Oklahoma City has won five of its last six games but had to fight for a 120-117 home victory over the Atlanta Hawks with star point guard Russell Westbrook knocking down the tiebreaking 3-point basket with 1.7 seconds left. "We feel good going down the stretch that we're going to make the right plays, get a basket," Thunder forward Paul George said afterward. "Whereas before, we didn't know where or how we were going to close. I think we know now how to close and where we're going to close." Utah has won just two of its past nine games, but its most recent performance was a strong one as it recorded a 100-89 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. "It was a good team effort," Jazz power forward Derrick Favors said afterward. "We came out with a lot of energy on the defensive end ... just tried to make it hard for them."

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

ABOUT THE THUNDER (17-15): Westbrook, who is averaging 28.8 points over the past five contests, contributed 30 points and 15 assists in Friday's victory. "Besides the shot, he was unbelievable," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said afterward, "because it wasn't going well in the third quarter and his enthusiasm and positivity, his leadership was really, really good for our team. We got so stagnant on both sides of the ball. We had that period there where we just didn't play particularly well." Forward Carmelo Anthony drained a season-best seven 3-pointers while scoring 24 against the Hawks for just his third 20-point outing in the past 14 games.

ABOUT THE JAZZ (15-18): Shooting guard Rodney Hood scored 29 points in the victory over San Antonio and is averaging 24 over the past three games. Hood has scored 20 or more points on eight occasions this season - twice notching 30 or more - and is starting to fill the scoring void left by the offseason departure of All-Star forward Gordon Hayward. "I've got to be real aggressive," Hood told reporters. "Especially when they're not being real aggressive on me and I can see daylight, just rise up and shoot the ball. My teammates give me a lot of confidence to do that."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Thunder are 2-1 versus Utah this season and have won nine of the past 11 meetings.

2. Westbrook had 24 points (on 10-of-13 shooting) 10 rebounds, seven assists and four steals in Wednesday's win over the Jazz.

3. Utah rookie G Donovan Mitchell (toe) could miss his third consecutive game.

Preview: Nuggets at Warriors
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

The Golden State Warriors look to extend their season-best winning streak to 12 games when they host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. The Warriors recorded a 113-106 home victory over the Los Angeles on Friday to improve to 26-6 and supplant the Houston Rockets as owners of the NBA's best record.

Golden State let a 23-point, second-half lead get away and trailed the Lakers before getting back in stride and keeping the winning streak intact. Star forward Kevin Durant produced 33 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four blocked shots against the Lakers and is averaging 32.3 points over the past seven contests. Denver is just 6-12 on the road but posted a convincing 102-85 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday behind 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists from center Nikola Jokic. "He went out there and attacked," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said afterward. "He was effective all over the floor - scoring, rebounding, playmaking."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, Altitude (Denver), NBCSN Bay Area (Golden State)

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (17-15): Forward Wilson Chandler gave a standout performance in Friday's victory by scoring a season-best 21 points to go with 11 rebounds. The big outing came after Chandler averaged just 7.7 points on 9-of-26 shooting over the previous three games. Gary Harris (elbow) scored 17 against Portland after a one-game absence and is averaging 22.8 points over the past four games, while fellow guard Jamal Murray had just seven after erupting for 30 against Minnesota two nights earlier.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (26-6): Power forward Draymond Green (shoulder) returned from a four-game absence to contribute 13 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in the win over the Lakers. "It's great to have Draymond back after his absence," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the victory. "He brings an energy to the game that otherwise was lacking last game." Rookie forward Jordan Bell also stood out with a career-high 20 points (on 9-of-13 shooting) and 10 rebounds for his first NBA double-double.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Nuggets have lost their last five road contests against the Warriors.

2. Golden State PG Stephen Curry (ankle) will sit out for the eighth consecutive contest and coach Steve Kerr said it is "99.999 percent" that Curry will miss the Christmas Day showdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

3. Denver PG Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) will likely miss his fourth straight game.

Preview: Timberwolves at Suns
Gracenote
Dec 22, 2017

The Minnesota Timberwolves are beginning to string together some wins and will go for their sixth in the last eight games when they visit the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. The Timberwolves lead the Northwest Division and are beginning to get the hang of working together on the defensive end.

Minnesota is trying to build around former No. 1 overall picks Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, but it was the acquisition of veteran swingman Jimmy Butler over the summer that took the team to another level, and he is at his best down the stretch. "You can't say enough about the way Jimmy closes out," Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters after Butler scored 25 points in Wednesday's 112-104 win at the Denver Nuggets. "It's just one big play after the next. Big shots, drawing the foul again, making the right plays. It's tremendous." Butler suffered through one of his worst games last Saturday, when he was held to 10 points and missed a chance to tie or win in the final seconds of a 108-106 home loss to the Suns. That win snapped a five-game slide for Phoenix and gave the team enough momentum to win three of four, capped by a 97-95 triumph over Memphis on Thursday.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), FS Arizona (Phoenix)

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (19-13): Since going 5-of-18 from the field and not attempting a free throw in the loss to Phoenix, Butler is 20-of-36 from the floor and 19-of-20 from the line in back-to-back wins. "My teammates, they have the utmost confidence in me to take and make shots as of late," Butler told reporters. "But if I'm open and it's my shot, I'm going to shoot it. If it's not, I'm going to pass it. I have just as much faith in my teammates as I do myself." Butler should have some confidence in fellow veteran Jamal Crawford, who totaled 43 points on 17-of-30 shooting in the last two games after scoring in single digits in each of the previous three contests.

ABOUT THE SUNS (12-22): Devin Booker's extended absence due to a groin injury is giving other players a chance to shine, and Isaiah Canaan is making the most of his opportunity. Phoenix signed the 26-year-old free agent with an injury hardship waiver and has gotten four straight double-digit scoring efforts and an average of five assists off the bench from Canaan. Shooting guard Troy Daniels is also stepping up of late and buried the go-ahead 3-pointer to cap off a 14-point effort on Thursday and boost his scoring average over the last five games to 16.4 points.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Wiggins is 12-of-42 from the floor, including 1-of-11 from 3-point range, in the last three games.

2. Suns C Greg Monroe recorded eight points, 12 rebounds and seven assists on Thursday after sitting out the previous three games.

Preview: Trail Blazers at Lakers
Gracenote
Dec 23, 2017

Winning at home has been a challenge lately for the Portland Trail Blazers, and it certainly didn't get any easier Friday with Damian Lillard sitting out because a hamstring injury. The two-time All-Star guard will again be sitting out Saturday when the Trail Blazers hope to continue their recent success on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Portland predictably struggled without the NBA's eighth-leading scorer, who is hopeful he can return for his team's following game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 28, and amassed its third-lowest point total of the season in a 102-85 loss to the Denver Nuggets. While the loss was the Trail Blazers' sixth in a row at home, they are 9-6 on the road and have won six of their last eight away from the Moda Center. Los Angeles played the Golden State Warriors tough for the second time in four days, but not even Kyle Kuzma's third big game of the week (27 points and a career-high tying 14 boards Friday) was enough to keep his team from falling for the fourth time in five tries. The No. 27 overall pick in June's NBA draft did make some history in defeat, however, becoming the first Lakers rookie since Jerry West (1961) to score 25 or more points in three consecutive games.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN Northwest (Portland), Spectrum SportsNet Los Angeles

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (16-16): Jake Layman drew a rare start in place of the injured Lillard but was quickly removed for Shabazz Napier, who logged a season-high 37 minutes and posted his third straight double-figure scoring game with 14 points, four rebounds, five assists and three steals. CJ McCollum led the Blazers with 15 points, although Friday marked the second straight contest in which he failed to score 20 points after reaching that mark in each of his previous six games. Rookie Zach Collins flashed with a career-high 10 points before fouling out in 18 minutes, while Pat Connaughton enjoyed his most productive game in nearly a month with 12 points in 22 minutes off the bench.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (11-19): Kuzma played more than 40 minutes for the third consecutive game but has remained incredibly efficient over that time, as the 22-year-old is 31-for-48 from the field - including 14-of-22 beyond the arc - while averaging 30 points and nine boards. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) returned to the lineup but managed to shoot just 4-of-16 from the floor - including 1-of-10 from 3-point range - and is expected in every game during the team's four-game homestand since they will not violate his work-release agreement, which requires him to remain in California during his 25-day sentence for violating parole. Rookie Lonzo Ball connected on a career-high five 3-pointers and finished with 24 points Friday - his second-best scoring effort of the season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. After averaging 8.6 points on 32.1-percent shooting over his first 25 outings, Ball is scoring 17.2 points per game on 47 percent from the field in his last five contests.

2. Portland starters combined to score only 35 points against Denver, and all four who logged more than 10 minutes recorded a plus-minus of minus-20 or worse.

3. Los Angeles C Brook Lopez, who tallied 27 points in a 113-110 loss at Portland on Nov. 2, is expected to miss at least the next three weeks with a sprained right ankle.

Preview: Spurs at Kings
Gracenote
Dec 22, 2017

When the Sacramento Kings find the win column, it's a good bet that their veteran players are the ones leading the charge. Zach Randolph, George Hill and company will try to lead their young squad to a third straight win when the Kings host the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

Sacramento brought in Randolph, 36, and Hill, 31, in the offseason to support a roster that features 11 players 25 or younger, but it turns out the veterans are the ones that could use some support. Randolph leads the team in scoring (15.9 points), rebounding (seven) and ranks second in minutes (26) behind only Hill (26.4), and it was Randolph's combined 48 points on 20-of-30 shooting at Philadelphia and Brooklyn that sent the Kings home with a 2-2 road trip. Randolph will battle on Saturday against fellow veteran LaMarcus Aldridge, who averages 21.9 points but matched a season low with 11 in Thursday's 100-89 loss at Utah. That setback snapped a three-game winning streak for the Spurs, who are 7-9 on the road and will be finishing off a three-game trip at Sacramento.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, KENS (San Antonio), NBCS California (Sacramento)

ABOUT THE SPURS (22-11): The bright spot in Thursday's loss was the continued progression of small forward Kawhi Leonard, who played a season-high 20 minutes and collected 10 points and five rebounds. The All-Star did not make his season debut until Dec. 12 after battling quad tendinopathy and is still not playing back-to-backs, but he is shooting 50 percent from the floor in four games and will get two days off after Saturday as San Antonio sits out the Christmas Day games this season. Tony Parker (quad) is making positive strides in his return as well and logged a season-high 26 minutes on Thursday.

ABOUT THE KINGS (11-20): While Randolph has been a consistent performer since the start of the season, Hill is only recently joining him as an offensive threat. The veteran point guard, who was limited to 49 games with Utah last season while dealing with injuries, averaged 8.8 points on 43.6 percent shooting in November before raising those numbers to 13.3 points on 56.9 percent in eight games this month. Hill is serving as a mentor for 19-year-old rookie De'Aaron Fox, who scored in single digits in each of his last four games and is battling a quad injury.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Spurs C Pau Gasol (groin) and SG Danny Green (groin) both sat out Thursday and are day-to-day.

2. Randolph became the 20th player in NBA history with at least 18,000 points and 10,000 rebounds when he grabbed his 10,000th board in the first quarter on Wednesday.

3. Leonard averaged 20.7 points in three games against the Kings last season - his lowest mark against any opponent in 2016-17.
