RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 4 GREAT SKY 7/2

# 3 BLUES TOUR 5/1

# 6 TAICHUNG BOBBY 9/2

My pick in this competition is GREAT SKY. Shows signs of the look of a lucrative play, averaging a solid 62 Equibase speed fig which is one of the most competitive in this group of animals. Has to be carefully examined based on the very strong speed figure put up in the last contest. The average Equibase class rating alone makes this entrant a solid choice. BLUES TOUR - Looks very good for the conditions of this race today, showing solid numbers in dirt sprint races recently. With a strong jockey who has won at a competitive 18 percent rate over the last 30 days. This has to be one of the top selections. TAICHUNG BOBBY - Stidham has this gelding racing well and is a very good choice based on the decent Equibase Speed Figures garnered in sprint races as of late. Earning some nice money in dirt sprint races.

#3 TENACITY ZIP (ML=7/2)
#5 MAGIC DRAGON (ML=6/1)
#8 HARD WAY WINNER (ML=2/1)


TENACITY ZIP - This gelding is in fine form. Finished third on Jan 13th. Saez is up for another event today after sitting atop this equine for the first attempt on Jan 13th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. I usually like playing sprinters who are 3-4 races into a comeback. MAGIC DRAGON - This jock and conditioner have a high win pct together. Was in a non-classified race race at Gulfstream Park last time out. That affair had a class figure of 83 and he is moving down in this race. A certain strong challenger. HARD WAY WINNER - I have to like this gelding's likelihood of winning at the shorter trip. Didn't do well last out, but I do see two starts back when racing on the dirt, a whole different horse. Speed rating of 91 should put this one in the money.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 CONTROLLED FURY (ML=9/2), #1 BEE QUIET (ML=6/1), #4 LITHIUM Z (ML=8/1),

CONTROLLED FURY - Really had to show me a whole lot more last time out. Never made much of an impact. BEE QUIET - Tough to wager on any horse in a short distance contest if he hasn't hit the board in a sprint in the last sixty days. LITHIUM Z - The Brain always tells me to keep away from ponies in sprint events that haven't hit the board in short distance events lately.

# 12 MISS WOODY JAMES 3/1

# 10 REGARDS PK 8/1

# 3 EYE KNOW THE SECRET 12/1

MISS WOODY JAMES is the best wager in this race. The average class rating alone makes this one a definite contender. With a sound 67 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. With a reliable jock who has won at a competitive 19 percent clip over the last 30 days. This has to be one of the top selections. REGARDS PK - Could provide positive gains based on strong recent Speed Figures with an average of 74. Could wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. EYE KNOW THE SECRET - Has to be given a shot based on the formidable speed rating put up in the last contest. Has solid speed figs and has to be considered for a bet for this race.

#1 POKERIST (ML=9/5)
#7 REAL FAST MUSIC (ML=3/1)


POKERIST - This is a fairly classic handicapping angle. Play a thoroughbred that finished in the place spot in a maiden race last time out but finished well clear of the show horse. You always have to be on the lookout for money making jockey/conditioner tandems; we have one right here. Another way to judge class is earnings per start. This racer has the uppermost in the field. I think he'll be close at the finish. REAL FAST MUSIC - Gallardo is back for another affair today after sitting atop this horse for the first attempt on January 17th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. If this gelding gets out of the gate cleanly, he'll be tough to catch.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 WHISTLE ME HOME (ML=7/2), #5 BANKINGONTHEDUDE (ML=6/1), #6 RULE BOOK (ML=6/1),

WHISTLE ME HOME - Not likely for this participant to do much running with no recent good showings in a short distance affair. Where is the speed? None to be found in here to set things up for this horse. BANKINGONTHEDUDE - If he goes off near the oddsmaker's morning line of 6/1, I'll have to pass. RULE BOOK - I'm foretelling a lackluster go of it out of him this time.

Pacers vs. Hornets Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Indiana Pacers are winners of three straight games -- a stretch that includes a 105-96 triumph over the Charlotte Hornets. The Pacers will try to find a similar result on the road when they visit Charlotte for a brief one-game road trip on Friday.

Indiana got 25 points from Victor Oladipo in that win over Charlotte on Monday but he was held to 13 in a 105-101 victory over Memphis on Wednesday -- his lowest scoring total in over a month -- as the Pacers survived a scare. "We had to grind it out and figure out a way to win this game," Indiana coach Nate McMillan told reporters. "I thought we started to get a little tougher on the defensive end of the floor. Offensively we made shots, made plays when we needed to, but we just have to do a better job of controlling the boards and rebounding the ball." The Hornets bounced back from their loss at Indiana by rolling over the Atlanta Hawks 123-110 on Wednesday. Charlotte managed to score 100 or more points twice in its last five games, both times against the lowly Hawks.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Indiana, FS Southeast (Charlotte)

ABOUT THE PACERS (29-23): Oladipo got some scoring support on Wednesday from shooting guard Bojan Bogdanovic, who scored 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting and came through on the defensive end down the stretch in the victory after going scoreless while missing all three of his shot attempts against the Hornets. "He did a great job, man, especially down the stretch," Oladipo told reporters of Bogdanovic. "(His fourth-quarter steal) was a huge play for us. Getting the rebound at the end of the game was huge for us. Stepping up and making all those free throws was huge, too. The way he shot the ball today was huge for us, as well." Bogdanovic collected three of Indiana's 16 steals in the victory.

ABOUT THE HORNETS (21-29): Charlotte is at its best when Kemba Walker is shooting with efficiency, and he set a career high with nine 3-pointers in 13 attempts en route to 38 points in Wednesday's win. Walker joined Golden State's Stephen Curry and Portland's Damian Lillard as the only players to make at least nine 3-pointers in a game this season. "It was great. I needed it I think," Walker told reporters. "I've been struggling all year shooting the three and in these last couple games I've been shooting it well. Tonight, I was aggressive, and they went down for me. To make nine threes and be in the company of (Curry and Lillard), that's pretty big time."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. McMillan will miss the game due to personal reasons.

2. Hornets C Dwight Howard is enjoying a string of 10 straight double-doubles.

3. Indiana's last win at Charlotte came on Feb. 8, 2015.

PREDICTION: Pacers 106, Hornets 99

Hawks vs. Celtics Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats07:30 PM
The first-place team in the Eastern Conference hosts the last-place squad when the Boston Celtics continue a homestand against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Playing without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving - who is day-to-day with a right quad contusion - the Celtics rolled past New York 103-73 on Wednesday for their second straight victory following a 1-5 swoon.

Terry Rozier stepped in for Irving and recorded a triple-double in his first career start with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. "It just worked out perfect for me," Rozier told reporters. "I got to knock down some shots in the beginning of the game, hit the open man, I'm always going to get in there and rebound. Just a great night." Irving averaged 32.5 points in two wins over Atlanta earlier this season but the Hawks have taken the last two meetings in Boston. To make it three straight they will have to tighten up their perimeter defense, as Charlotte Hornets All-Star Kemba Walker buried a career-high nine 3-pointers to sink Atlanta 123-110 on Wednesday.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Atlanta), NBCS Boston

ABOUT THE HAWKS (15-36): Atlanta tried to keep pace with Walker behind Kent Bazemore (25 points, 3-of-5 from 3-point range) and Marco Belinelli (22, 4-of-7), but leading scorer Dennis Schroder struggled to 13 points - nearly seven below his average - and missed all five of his 3-point tries while wrestling with a sore shoulder. "I don't know how it happened," Schroder told the media. "I'm going to check it with the trainers and see what's going on." After Walker torched the Hawks from beyond the arc, they were ranked 29th in 3-point defense (38 percent).

ABOUT THE CELTICS (37-15): Marcus Morris provided 20 points, five rebounds and two steals in just 19 minutes off the bench against the Knicks but left in the second half after falling hard on a breakaway dunk. "It was my [behind]. It wasn't really my hip, so it's sore. Very sore," Morris said after the game. "I'll go home and ice, see how I feel tomorrow." Morris scored in double figures in nine straight games, one shy of matching the longest such run of his career.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Irving is expected to be re-evaluated Thursday while fellow PG Marcus Smart (hand laceration) has missed four straight games.

2. Schroder scored 23 points in each of the first two meetings.

3. Both teams shoot 36.9 percent from long distance, tied for eighth in the NBA.

PREDICTION: Celtics 111, Hawks 98

Lakers vs. Nets Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Los Angeles Lakers made a recent run up the Western Conference standings largely due to significant improvement on the defensive end. That trend has been reversed with back-to-back ugly losses and the Lakers will try to rediscover their form on that end of the floor when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

Los Angeles, which won eight of 10 before this week began, gave up an average of 125 points in setbacks at Toronto and Orlando, with both opponents shooting at least 50 percent from the floor. "We lost by 30 (actually 22) to the team that has the worst record in the league," rookie Kyle Kuzma told reporters after the 127-105 loss to the Magic. "That's kind of deflating, but give credit to them. They beat us." The Nets don't normally light up the scoreboard but they did manage 116 points in a win over Philadelphia on Wednesday to snap a four-game slide. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 27 points while making 13-of-15 free throws as Brooklyn posted its best scoring output since Dec. 23.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles), YES (Brooklyn)

ABOUT THE LAKERS (19-31): After averaging 19.5 points in December, Kuzma dipped to 12.5 in January and finished it with a whimper, shooting 12-for-34 while averaging nine points in the first three games of the current road trip. Center Brook Lopez played a season-low nine minutes and returns to Brooklyn - where he starred for nine seasons - on a frustrating note, leaving without talking to reporters in Orlando. Lopez had his best game of the season in a matchup with the Nets at home in November, producing 34 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.

ABOUT THE NETS (19-33): D'Angelo Russell, acquired in the deal that sent Lopez to Los Angeles, is working his way back from knee surgery and had his best effort since his return last month with 22 points in 17 minutes versus Philadelphia. "They got some talent over there and for us to get any win in this league is definitely a start, so hopefully we can capitalize on it and keep building," Russell told reporters. Rookie center Jarrett Allen is beginning to make his presence felt and is averaging 12.4 points and 7.6 rebounds while shooting 83.3 percent over his last five games, including back-to-back starts in which he made 11-of-12 shots.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Lakers PG Lonzo Ball (knee) missed eight straight games but is reportedly nearing a return.

2. Brooklyn SF Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and SG Caris LeVert have both missed three games in a row due to groin injuries.

3. SG Allen Crabbe led the Nets with 25 points in the 124-112 loss at Los Angeles earlier this season.

PREDICTION: Nets 112, Lakers 109

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Trail Blazers vs. Raptors Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
CJ McCollum has quite a performance to follow when the Portland Trail Blazers visit the Toronto Raptors on Friday. McCollum scored a career-best 50 points in Wednesday's 124-108 victory over Chicago, with his assault beginning with a franchise-record 28-point first quarter.

The Trail Blazers have won a season-best four straight games, and the latest victory was highlighted by McCollum's scoring spree - which he accomplished in just three quarters of action. "A lot of elite players score 50 points, it shows that you're a really unique scorer and have a lot of abilities," McCollum told reporters. "And to do it in three quarters is just a credit to our staff for helping develop me, hard work, teammates sharing, setting screens, sacrificing a lot of stuff." The Trail Blazers have won seven of their last eight games as they prepare to face the Raptors, who are opening a four-game homestand after suffering a 122-119 loss at Washington on Thursday. "I thought we were playing a little bit too loose and not moving the ball," Toronto coach Dwane Casey told reporters. "We got good shots, but we didn't get great shots."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCS Northwest (Portland), Sportsnet One (Toronto)

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (29-22): McCollum is the seventh different Portland player to record a 50-point effort, with franchise icon Clyde Drexler and star point guard Damian Lillard being among the others. "I recognized that feeling," Lillard told reporters of McCollum's stellar show. "I saw the rhythm that he was playing with, and at that point, it was just my job to make sure he got the ball in his hands as many times as possible. He just kept rolling." Lillard scored just 13 points against Chicago after topping 20 in each of his previous 10 games - a stretch during which he averaged 27.4.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (34-16): All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, who was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for January, opened the new month by registering 23 points and six assists in the loss to the Wizards. DeRozan typically has fared well versus the Trail Blazers as he has recorded a string of 11 consecutive 20-point performances and averaged 35.5 points in his last two home appearances against them. Kyle Lowry erupted for 29 points on 10-of-19 shooting against Washington after averaging 10.8 on 14-of-46 shooting over his previous four games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Raptors have won the last five meetings, including a 99-85 victory at Portland on Oct. 30 in which DeRozan scored 25 points.

2. Trail Blazers C Jusuf Nurkic (quadriceps) is probable after departing Wednesday's victory.

3. Toronto swingman CJ Miles (knee) is expected to miss his third straight game.

PREDICTION: Raptors 123, Trail Blazers 119

Heat vs. 76ers Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
Philadelphia fans are concerning themselves with the Eagles heading to the Super Bowl right now, allowing the 76ers to go through a recent slump without much notice. The 76ers will try to pull out of the slide before drawing much more attention and snap a three-game losing streak when they host the Miami Heat on Friday.

Philadelphia worked its way into sixth in the Eastern Conference during a stretch that included wins over Toronto, Boston, Milwaukee and San Antonio, but it dropped the final three of a four-game road trip to fall back to .500 and into the No. 8 spot in the conference. "That's the kind of win we've got to get if we want to be a playoff team," All-Star center Joel Embiid told reporters after a 116-108 loss at Brooklyn ended the trip. "If we're going to lose these types of games, we don't deserve to go to the playoffs." The Heat are trying to emerge from their own funk after dropping five of the last nine games, capped by a 91-89 loss at Cleveland on Wednesday that marked the fifth straight game in which the team failed to score more than 95 points. "We have to develop new layers to our offense and evolve because people are aware of us now and that comes with competition and playing well," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters. "So, we have to embrace that challenge as well."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS Sun (Miami), NBCS Philadelphia

ABOUT THE HEAT (29-22): Miami point guard Goran Dragic, who was named as an All-Star replacement on Wednesday, is proud of the way the team played defense on Wednesday but recognizes the problems on the other end. "The opponents are preparing against us and they're scouting us," Dragic told the Miami Herald. "So, it's a little bit tougher on us. But at the same time, that game was winnable for us (in Cleveland). At the end of the day, we had 20 turnovers, missed 11 free throws and we went 3-for-28 from the 3-point line. We didn't have a good offensive game, but we're really satisfied how we play our defense. As long as we continue to play defense like that, we're going to win a lot of games." Dragic scored a team-high 18 points on Wednesday after combining for 18 points on 8-of-22 shooting in the previous two contests.

ABOUT THE 76ERS (24-24): One positive from Wednesday's loss was the return of shooting guard JJ Redick, who scored 20 points in 26 minutes after sitting out seven straight games with a leg injury. "He's going to be a huge help," rookie point guard Ben Simmons told reporters of Redick. "You can't leave him. If you leave him, and I'm going to hit him, and he's going to knock it down, usually." Simmons scored 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting in the setback and is 38-of-51 from the floor over the last four contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Embiid recorded a double-double in each of his last three starts.

2. Miami SG Wayne Ellington, who averages 11.2 points, went scoreless on 0-of-4 shooting in 26 minutes Wednesday.

3. The home team took the last five in the series.

PREDICTION: 76ers 103, Heat 98

Knicks vs. Bucks Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
Jabari Parker takes the court for the first time in nearly 12 months when the Milwaukee Bucks host the New York Knicks on Friday. Parker has been recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and will be looking to help Milwaukee bounce back from Thursday's 108-89 loss to Minnesota.

Parker was informed that he will play about 15 minutes in his return and the club certainly will monitor him closely due to two ACL tears in the same knee in a 26-month span. Parker, the second overall pick in the 2014 draft, posted career-best averages of 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds in 51 games last season prior to his latest misfortune. "I'm grateful for how far I came," he told reporters. "I'm grateful for the people who laid the foundation for me, especially the man above. From this point on, it's just not being complacent, not being satisfied and just keep on trying to be as good as I can be." The Knicks are coming off a horrific 103-73 loss to Boston on Wednesday - their largest margin of defeat this season.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

ABOUT THE KNICKS (23-29): New York is attempting to remain in the playoff race, but the woeful effort against Boston that included an eight-point fourth quarter in a contest in which Boston was missing star guard Kyrie Irving was disconcerting. The Knicks shot just 32.2 percent in the setback, and the point total was their smallest of the season. "There's going to be nights that you're not going to be good offensively, but I think for us to get to the next level, for us to be an elite team, just go out there and play defense," center Enes Kanter told reporters. "We cannot just say, 'Oh, we're not shooting the ball well,' and just give up on defense."

ABOUT THE BUCKS (27-23): Milwaukee had its four-game winning streak halted on Thursday and also lost shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon to a quadriceps tendon strain. Brogdon, last season's NBA Rookie of the Year, suffered the injury during a non-contact sequence while attempting a layup and left the arena in a cast while walking on crutches. All-Star small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recorded 17 points and 15 rebounds against Minnesota, twisted his left ankle in the fourth quarter and is slated to be examined on Friday.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Antetokounmpo averaged 28 points and 10.3 rebounds as the Bucks went 2-1 against the Knicks last season.

2. Milwaukee PG Eric Bledsoe (ankle) sat out against the Timberwolves and is doubtful for Friday's game.

3. New York G Ron Baker is sidelined indefinitely due to a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder.

PREDICTION: Bucks 108, Knicks 99

Jazz vs. Suns Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Utah Jazz are suddenly looking like playoff contenders again with a three-game winning streak capped by a 30-point blowout of the defending champions. The Jazz will try to keep up the momentum when they hit the road and open a four-game road trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns on Friday.

Utah buried the Golden State Warriors 129-99 on Wednesday but quickly tried to turn the page as they prepare for a trip that will take them through San Antonio, New Orleans and Memphis after leaving Phoenix. "You want to move on from it in the sense that there's some sense of accomplishment: It's over," Jazz coach Quin Snyder told reporters. "But how you got the win, and how you played and what you're doing -- we need to understand the things that we did that we want to do again. It becomes a question of repeating it. The more you do it, the more it becomes who you are. Games like that can give you some confidence." Utah will take on a Suns team that opened its three-game homestand with a 102-88 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. That marked second time this season that Phoenix held an opponent under 90 points, with the first coming in a 97-88 home win over the Jazz on Oct. 25.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah), FS Arizona (Phoenix)

ABOUT THE JAZZ (22-28): Utah shot 58.2 percent from the floor against the Warriors and watched small forward Joe Ingles knock down 6-of-8 from 3-point range. "We had a great shooting night -- they didn't have the kind of night they can have," Snyder told reporters. "Shooting is an equalizer. I thought we came out and Joe Ingles set the tone. The confidence with which he shot the ball, I thought that helped our other guys shoot the ball." Ingles is 24-of-43 from 3-point range over the last seven games -- a stretch during which the Jazz are 5-2.

ABOUT THE SUNS (18-34): Phoenix snapped a five-game slide with Wednesday's win but lost point guard Isaiah Canaan to a fractured left ankle. Canaan went down in a collision with Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews and fell on the ankle, causing it to break and turn in the opposite direction in a gruesome scene. "It's hard for fans and everyone sitting right there and teammates especially, a guy they battle with every day, it's their friend on and off the court," Suns interim coach Jay Triano told reporters. "I used the timeout to let us say a quick prayer. ... Not much we can do. He was in the hands of our medical staff and we trust they do their job and we had to keep doing ours."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Jazz SG Donovan Mitchell earned his second straight Western Conference Rookie of the Month award after averaging 22.2 points in January.

2. Suns rookie SF Josh Jackson matched his season high with 21 points on Wednesday.

3. Phoenix's 97-88 win over Utah on Oct. 25 snapped a seven-game losing streak in the series.

PREDICTION: Jazz 113, Suns 102

Pelicans vs. Thunder Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Oklahoma City Thunder have dropped consecutive games following a season-high eight-game winning streak. The Thunder look to start a new run in Friday's home game, one night after suffering a last-second 127-124 road loss to the Denver Nuggets.

A defensive breakdown led to Denver's Gary Harris sinking the game-winning 3-pointer in a contest that saw Oklahoma City All-Stars Paul George (season-high 43 points) and Russell Westbrook (20 points, season-best 21 assists) have big offensive performances. Westbrook lost track of Harris on the decisive play and then shoved a taunting fan who came on the court - "they can't come on the floor, that's totally unacceptable," Westbrook told reporters. The Pelicans have lost both games since All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins suffered a season-ending Achilles injury and now have a tough road back-to-back with the Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. New Orleans made a move Thursday by acquiring forward Nikola Mirotic from the Chicago Bulls for center Omer Asik and guards Tony Allen and Jameer Nelson as well as a 2018 first-round draft pick.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS New Orleans, FS Oklahoma

ABOUT THE PELICANS (27-23): Mirotic requested a trade earlier this season after being punched in the face by teammate Bobby Portis and missing the first 23 games, and he finally got his wish granted. The 26-year-old has played well since his return with career-best averages of 16.8 points and 6.4 rebounds and had his $12.5 million option for next season picked up by New Orleans as a condition of the deal. I'm really happy about it," Mirotic told reporters after the trade, "and I just want to keep enjoying this moment because this is the best moment I've felt in the NBA and it's kind of really fun for me."

ABOUT THE THUNDER (30-22): George was 19-of-26 from the field against the Nuggets and his fifth 3-pointer of the contest tied the score with 1.4 seconds left. He is meshing well with Westbrook and is averaging 30 points over the past seven games, topping 25 six times during the stretch. Westbrook's 20-20 outing was his second in the past seven games and he is averaging 28.9 points during the stretch, including a season-high 46 points against the Washington Wizards on Jan. 25.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Thunder have won four consecutive home meetings with the Pelicans.

2. New Orleans All-Star PF Anthony Davis had 36 points and 15 rebounds in a 114-107 victory over Oklahoma City on Nov. 20.

3. Slumping Oklahoma City F Carmelo Anthony is averaging 14.8 points on 37 percent shooting over the past six games.

PREDICTION: Thunder 116, Pelicans 111

Warriors vs. Kings Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Golden State Warriors lay an egg every once in a while on the road, and Tuesday was one of those times when the defending champs fell flat on their faces. The Warriors will try to move past a 30-point loss to a sub-.500 team when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Friday.

Golden State allowed the Utah Jazz to shoot 58.2 percent from the floor and went 5-of-25 from 3-point range on the other end in a 129-99 loss. "I think our guys will tell you that was a pathetic effort out there," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "That was disgusting basketball. We just didn't start out the game with any force defensively. We weren't staying into bodies, they were just stopping behind screens, we were lazy on our switches. We played with no sense of urgency, no sense of purpose, and they're obviously fighting for the playoffs." Golden State has yet to drop consecutive games this season but will be going up a Kings squad that won three of its last four to close out a solid road trip. The Kings finished up the six-game trip with a 114-103 win at New Orleans on Tuesday and are getting strong play from a pair of veterans who were being pushed to the side.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, NBCS Bay Area (Golden State), NBCS California (Sacramento)

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (40-11): All-Star Stephen Curry was named the Western Conference Player of the Month for January and then went out in the final game of the month at Utah and slumped to 4-of-13 from the floor, including 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. "I asked Draymond (Green) on the bench in the fourth quarter if he could remember that bad of a performance that we've had in recent memory, and we really can't," Curry told reporters. "You can't just show up, especially on the road, and expect to win. That's kind of cheating the game." Curry was coming off a performance against Boston on Saturday in which he exploded for 49 points and went 8-of-13 from beyond the arc.

ABOUT THE KINGS (16-34): Sacramento made the decision last month to give its veterans days off in order to open more playing time for younger players, but injuries to some of those young players in the frontcourt are keeping Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos on the floor. Randolph led the way with 26 points in Tuesday's win at New Orleans while Koufos collected 17 points and a career-high 17 rebounds. "We've all shown we can play in this league for a long time," Koufos told the Sacramento Bee. "For us though, right now when we get an opportunity, we're playing hard and I give credit to all the vets. They're being very professional with the situation. And the young guys, they're getting healthy and working hard so it's our responsibility, whenever we get time, help the team win."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Warriors SF Kevon Looney (illness) sat out Tuesday and is day-to-day.

2. Kings F Skal Labissiere (shoulder) will miss the next two weeks while C Willie Cauley-Stein (knee) could return from a two-game absence on Friday.

3. Sacramento earned a 110-106 win at Golden State on Nov. 27.

Capitals vs. Penguins Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins have picked up speed in their respective bids to distance themselves from the rest of the teams in the congested Metropolitan Division. The first-place Capitals carry an 8-2-2 mark in their last 12 contests into Friday's tilt versus the Penguins, who have won eight of their last 10 and are attempting to complete a perfect four-game homestand.

Chandler Stephenson doubled his season total in goals after scoring twice in a 47-second span and T.J. Oshie ended a 13-game goal drought on Wednesday as Washington overcame an early two-goal deficit to post a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia. "It's been a while," said the 31-year-old Oshie, who also joined Stephenson in finding the back of the net in the Capitals' 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Nov. 10. Sidney Crosby could echo a similar thought on a much smaller scale, as the Penguins' superstar captain has failed in his quest to net his 400th career goal in each of his last six contests. Crosby, however, had an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over San Jose to extend his point streak to 10 games (three goals, 17 assists) while fellow former Hart Trophy recipient Evgeni Malkin was named NHL First Star of the Month for January after upping his point total to 23 (14 goals, nine assists) in his past 15 games.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, TVAS, NBCS Washington, AT&T Sportsnet-Pittsburgh

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (30-15-5): Defenseman John Carlson and Lars Eller each notched two assists versus the Flyers, increasing the former's point total to 13 (four goals, nine assists) in his past 12 games while the latter has eight points (five goals, three assists) in his past nine. Carlson resides at the 40-point plateau for the second time in his career and likely is driving up his asking price as he skates toward unrestricted free agency. The 28-year-old scored and set up a goal in the more recent meeting with Pittsburgh and notched three assists in as many encounters versus the club last season.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (28-21-3): Conor Sheary's time on the top line has hit a snag as the 25-year-old is now considered week-to-week after sustaining a lower-body injury against the Sharks. "Conor is a really good player, he's not an easy guy to replace," coach Mike Sullivan said following Thursday's practice. "... But certainly we have capable people. We have capable guys that we can plug in that give us an opportunity to continue to win games." Bryan Rust is one such possibility as the 25-year-old has five points (two goals, three assists) in his past four contests, albeit with an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury included in that stretch.

OVERTIME

1. Washington has allowed the first goal in eight straight games.

2. Pittsburgh F Carter Rowney returned to practice on Thursday after missing the last 11 contests with an upper-body injury.

3. The Capitals are 6-for-15 on the power play in the last four outings after going 1-for-14 in the previous four.

PREDICTION: Capitals 4, Penguins 3

Sharks vs. Blue Jackets Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The San Jose Sharks have not won since veteran center Joe Thornton suffered a serious knee injury, a streak they hope to end when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. It's the third stop of a five-game road trip for San Jose, which has lost a season-high four in a row after dropping a back-to-back at Pittsburgh and Detroit.

Thornton was hurt in an overtime loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 23 and the Sharks have dropped the next three without him, tightening up the race for second place in the Pacific Division. "We've played three games without (Thornton) and we've lost all three and gotten one point. That has to stop now," San Jose forward Logan Couture said. "He's a great player but we've got to find a way to start winning hockey games without him." Columbus is also coming off a shootout defeat -- 3-2 at home to Minnesota -- and has failed to score more than two goals in regulation for the 10th time in the last 11 games. "A big part of winning in the league is the will," coach John Tortorella said after Wednesday's practice. "That's been very inconsistent in our game. And I know it's there. I've seen it there. We just need to get back to it consistently."

ABOUT THE SHARKS (26-16-8): Goaltender Martin Jones was among the players who said they have to "step up" in Thornton's absence, and he did his part by making a season-high 43 saves against Detroit. Jones has struggled through an erratic, injury-plagued campaign, but coach Peter DeBoer said he has no concerns about him entering the stretch run. "I don't even think that's a question," DeBoer said. "I think he's going to do that. I think we're going to get great goaltending the whole second half here."

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (27-19-4): Columbus still has the league's worst power play at 14.1 percent, although there has been an uptick in production with six goals in 19 chances over the past eight games. "That was a big part of our game last year," Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones said at Thursday's practice. "Our power play won us a lot of games last year, and we need to get to that (level)." Artemi Panarin, who scored in regulation and the shootout Tuesday, has five points in five games versus San Jose.

OVERTIME

1. Blue Jackets G Sergei Bobrovsky is 5-4-2 with a 2.53 goals-against average versus San Jose.

2. Sharks D Brent Burns had his seven-game point streak stopped in Detroit despite a season-high nine shots on goal.

3. Blue Jackets F Boone Jenner has been hold off the scoresheet in 11 straight games.

PREDICTION: Sharks 3, Blue Jackets 2

Red Wings vs. Hurricanes Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Carolina Hurricanes have won three straight games to move into a virtual tie for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and hope to keep climbing when they host the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. The Hurricanes have allowed a total of one goal in their last two wins, including Thursday's 2-0 triumph over Montreal in the second contest of their eight-game homestand.

Brock McGinn and defenseman Brett Pesce scored in the latest victory for the Hurricanes, who have not reached the playoffs since losing to Pittsburgh in the 2009 conference finals. The Red Wings are trying to stay afloat in the playoff race, earning points in three of their last four games (2-1-1) after losing four of the previous five. Detroit, which starts a stretch during which it plays six of eight on the road, received another strong performance from Petr Mrazek on Wednesday and registered a season-high 44 shots in a 2-1 shootout victory over visiting San Jose. "I told the team that was a glaring area that had to get better," Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill told reporters. "I think (we were) ranked 30th or something in shots per game. You don't need to be first or second in that stat, but you can't be 30th."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS Carolinas

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (20-21-8): Mrazek, who has sat behind Jimmy Howard most of the season, has allowed a total of five goals in his last five games (3-1-1) and is expected to get another start on Friday. "I just think (Mrazek) feels confident right now," Blashill told reporters. "When he is at his best, when he's confident like that, he is a really, really good goalie." Defenseman Trevor Daley scored the only goal in Wednesday's victory, his second in three games, while leading scorer Dylan Larkin (38 points) has been kept off the scoresheet in three straight contests and Gustav Nyquist (23) is pointless in his last six.

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (24-19-8): Veteran Justin Williams notched an assist Thursday, giving him six points in his last six games as he ranks third on the team with 33. Teuvo Teravainen (40 points) and fellow Finn Sebastian Aho (38), who has scored four of his team-leading 17 goals in the last six contests, also have been major contributors for Carolina - which is 11-for-35 on the power play over its last 11 games. Cam Ward (15-6-2) has played each of the last two contests for the Hurricanes, who could give Scott Darling (9-13-6, .892 save percentage) his first start since he allowed three goals on eight shots against Vegas on Jan. 21.

OVERTIME

1. The Hurricanes posted a 3-1 victory on Jan. 20 in Detroit as Elias Lindholm recorded a pair of goals.

2. Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg, who has notched one point in his last six games, is one power-play goal shy of 100 for his career.

3. Carolina C Victor Rask has registered a goal and three assists - including one on Thursday - while posting a plus-4 rating over his last three games.

PREDICTION: Hurricanes 3, Red Wings 2

Golden Knights vs. Wild Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The Minnesota Wild have been dominant at home this season and hope to continue the trend when they host the Western Conference-leading Vegas Golden Knights on Friday. Minnesota owns a 17-4-4 record at Xcel Energy Center and carries a nine-game home point streak (7-0-2) into the matchup against the surprising expansion team.

The Wild, who are six points out of third place in the Central Division and part of a crowded pack that is battling for wild-card spots in the West, went 5-0-2 in their own building in January and haven't lost there in regulation since dropping a 3-2 decision to Edmonton on Dec. 16. Minnesota has earned points in nine of its last 11 overall contests (7-2-2) after Zach Parise tallied in the fourth round of the shootout at Columbus on Tuesday for a 3-2 triumph. Vegas owns a 12-point lead in the Pacific Division after edging Winnipeg 3-2 in overtime on Thursday for its third straight road victory and second on its six-game trek. David Perron scored the winner and also set up a goal, giving him four tallies and six assists during his seven-game point streak as the Golden Knights moved to 4-0-1 in their last five away from home.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (34-12-4): Perron is not the only member of the team wielding a hot stick, as Erik Haula is riding a four-game goal-scoring streak and a seven-game point run during which he has collected four tallies and five assists. The 26-year-old Haula, who spent the first four seasons of his career with Minnesota, needs one goal to reach 20 for the first time in the NHL. Reilly Smith has scored in each of the first two games of the road trip after being kept off the scoresheet in six consecutive contests.

ABOUT THE WILD (27-18-5): Jason Zucker reached the 20-goal plateau for the third time in four seasons - and his career - on Tuesday, forging a tie with All-Star Eric Staal for the team lead. The 26-year-old left wing, who is two tallies away from matching the career high he set last season, has scored in five of his last six contests and is riding a seven-game point streak during which he has collected five goals and two assists. Nino Niederreiter, who needs two goals to reach 100 for his career, is expected to return Friday after missing eight games with a lower-body injury.

OVERTIME

1. Wild D Ryan Suter's next assist will be his 400th in the NHL.

2. Vegas' win on Thursday was its 34th of the season, setting a new record for an expansion team.

3. Minnesota has earned points in 17 of its last 18 home games (14-1-3).

PREDICTION: Wild 3, Golden Knights 2

Rhode Island vs. VCU Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
The old saying is that it is better to be lucky than good, but in the case of No. 21 Rhode Island, which plays an Atlantic 10 game Friday at VCU, it is better to be both. Rhode Island went down early and then had to hang on late in Tuesday's victory against Massachusetts and will need to post its first road win against VCU to reach 14 straight victories.

After winning seven of its first 11 league games by double digits, Rhode Island has now been pushed to the brink in back-to-back games, this time by the Minutemen, who it beat by 22 points two weeks earlier. "Our lack of defensive focus early kind of got them going," coach Dan Hurley told the media following the 85-83 victory. "We had a chance to win that one comfortably, up 14 late in the game. That's on me." Jeff Dowtin had the best game of his young career with 19 points and 10 assists and the sophomore is averaging seven assists in Atlantic 10 games for Rhode Island, who have won 18 straight league games and 10 in a row on the road. Justin Tillman has averaged 18.2 points and 9.7 rebounds for VCU and coach Mike Rhoades' team has won three straight games, including back-to-back road wins.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2

ABOUT RHODE ISLAND (18-3, 10-0 Atlantic 10): Re-establishing their perimeter defense will be critical for the Rams if they hope to push their win streak to 14 straight, which would the longest in team history since 1939-40. After holding seven of their first eight league opponents to less than 29 percent shooting from beyond the arc, Rhode Island permitted Duquesne and UMass to make a combined 13-of-25 from deep. The Rams will need to be on the lookout for VCU's De'Riante Jenkins, who his third in the A-10 in 3-point shooting at 43.7 percent.

ABOUT VCU (14-8, 6-3): Registering double-doubles is commonplace for Tillman, who has had 18 in his last 30 conference games, but Khris Lane got into the act for the first time this season during Saturday's win over George Mason. The 6-7 senior forward, who had six double-doubles last season while averaging 17.1 points and 7.3 rebounds at Longwood, had 25 points and 12 rebounds, both season highs, against George Mason. "I think going all the way back to GW (George Washington), the minutes I played, I played well," Lane, who has averaged 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 15.6 minutes, told the media. "That was kind of the trampoline."

TIP-INS

1. The 18-game league win streak for Rhode Island is tied with George Washington for the fourth-longest in A-10 history behind Saint Joseph's (21) and Temple (25, 27).

2. Led by five such games from Jared Terrell and three from E.C. Matthews, Rhode Island has had a 20-point scorer in each of the past nine contests.

3. Though it has won the last two meetings with VCU, including a 70-63 victory in the A-10 tournament final last season, Rhode Island is 0-5 in road games and 4-6 overall in the series.

PREDICTION: Rhode Island 76, VCU 71

Utah vs. Colorado Preview and Predictions

By Gracenote for Scores and Stats
Neighboring Pac-12 rivals Utah and Colorado are fighting to escape the mid-conference pack as they meet Friday night in Boulder. After winning three of their last four, the Runnin' Utes are sitting sixth in the Pac-12 at 5-5 while the Buffaloes are ninth at 4-6 following three straight setbacks.


Utah came within a point of upending No. 9 Arizona on Saturday after erasing a 13-point second-half deficit on the road, but in the end saw its win streak end at three. "I think what I took away from this week that we're definitely getting better," Utes freshman forward Donnie Tillman told the Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday. "Defensively as a team, we're putting it together. We're all healthy, and we're just going to try to get some big wins. ... Let's finish out the Pac-12 league (schedule) with a winning record." Colorado has the same goal in mind, and is looking to get a jump-start when it tips off a three-game homestand with Friday's contest. "(It's a) key stretch, no doubt," Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle told the media at practice earlier this week. "And you can't win all of them unless you win the next one. That's all we have to concentrate on, is how do we beat Utah."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1


ABOUT UTAH (13-8, 5-5 Pac-12): Junior guard Sedrick Barefield has played a leading role in the Utes' mid-season surge, averaging 19 points on 58.6 percent shooting over the last three games. Barefield hit 8-of-12 shots and scored a season-high 26 against Arizona to up his season average to 11.7 points per game. Guard Justin Bibbins (14.0 points), and forwards David Collette (12.6) and Tyler Rawson (11.1) also are averaging double figures while Rawson (6.2 boards), 7-foot reserve Jayce Johnson (5.9) and Tillman (5.6) are the team's leading rebounders.

ABOUT COLORADO (12-10, 4-6): Two weeks ago, the Buffaloes stood 4-3 in the conference after posting four wins in a five-game stretch which included home victories over Arizona and Arizona State, but they've dropped three straight since, all by nine points or more. Senior swingman George King and freshman point guard McKinley Wright are averaging 14.3 points apiece to pace the Buffs while King is the team's leading rebounder, grabbing 8.2 per outing to rank third in the Pac-12. Guard Namon Wright (11.1 points) is the only other player averaging double digits for Colorado, which is putting up 69.6 points in Pac-12 play to rank ninth in the conference.


TIP-INS

1. Colorado leads the series 26-21, but Utah has won the last seven after notching 76-60 (home) and 86-81 (road) victories a season ago.

2. Bibbins has scored in double figures in 11 straight games and his 45.3 3-point shooting percentage ranks second in the Pac-12 and 17th nationally.

3. The Buffaloes figure to have the edge on the glass as they enter the contest with a 3.7 rebounding margin while Utah is at minus-0.6, but Colorado has had trouble taking care of the ball overall, ranking 11th in the conference with a minus-3.2 turnover margin.

Play on: Nets -1½ -110 at betonline

Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Brooklyn Nets -1.5
The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the most underrated teams in the NBA this season. They have gone 31-21 ATS in all games this year. I expect them to be able to handle the Lakers at home tonight as they basically just have to win to cover this 1.5-point spread.
Home-court advantage has been big in this series between the Lakers and Nets. The home team is 5-1 SU & 3-1-2 ATS in the last six meetings. The Nets will be out for revenge from a 112-124 road loss to the Lakers in their first meeting this season. Look for D’Angelo Russell, the former Laker, to have a big game to lead the way.
The Lakers are 7-17 SU on the road this season. Los Angeles is 1-4 ATS in its last five road games. The Lakers are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The Nets are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following a win. They upset Philadelphia 116-108 as 8-point home underdogs last time out. Bet the Nets Friday.

Play on: Heat +4½ -110 at BMaker

I don't think this Miami is getting enough credit here. The Heat are 4th place in the Eastern Conference and just 1.5 games behind the Cavs. The Heat have covered 5 of their last 6 games. Sixers aren't exactly playing great ball right now coming off 3 straight losses and covers. Another key thing to point out is that fact that Miami is now healthy outside of Waiters, but for most of the season they have had 3-4 guys out a game.

NCAA-B | Niagara vs St. Peter's
Play on: Niagara +3 -108 at 5Dimes

NU enters this game in top form after setting season-highs in points, field goal percentage, free throws made, 3-pointers made, and in 3-point field goal percentage on their way to taking out their rival Canisius, 105-89, on January 27. Niagara owns the second most overall wins (14) in the conference and sits in a tie for third place with a 7-3 MAAC record and are under rated at this point on the season. Niagara is 8-4 on the road this season, including a 4-1 road record in conference games, and is the only team in the MAAC with a winning overall road record are very viable underdogs in this spot play. The Purple Eagles according to my own power rankings matchup well against todays opponents St.Peters and defeated them , 73-70, on January 14 and will be primed for the season series sweep. Meanwhile, after losing to Niagara on January 14,as mentioned above the the Peacocks have flopped in their last four games and have now lost 6 in a row. The key issue for St.Peters is scoring, and that will be their downfall tonight vs the point spread.
Note: The Purple Eagles are at the top of the MAAC in points per game (83.6), total blocks (100), blocks per game (4.3), and in fewest turnovers per game (11.5). Niagara leads the NCAA in free throws made (429).
NIAGARA is 6-0 ATS L/6 in road games versus teams who average 33 or less rebounds/game on the season.ST PETERS is 6-28 ATS L/34 in home games after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread.
CBB A road team (NIAGARA) - off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of 6 points or more against opponent off 2 or more consecutive road losses are 45-15 ATS L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA | Heat vs 76ers
Play on: 76ers -4 -108 at 5Dimes

My 1* Free Play is on the Philadelphia 76ers (8:00 EST).
Miami had its two game win streak snapped in a 91-89 road loss in Cleveland on Wednesday and suffice it to say, I think it’ll suffer another letdown here as well.
Conversely, it’s going to be “all hands on deck” for the 76ers, who enter off three straight losses, most recently a listless 116-108 setback at Brooklyn on Wednesday.
Note that these teams split four games last year, with each side taking care of business on its home floor.
Miami averages 100.2 PPG and it concedes 100.9 Hassan Whiteside averages 14.4 points and 11.8 boards per outing, while Goran Dragic contributes 17 points, 4.1 boards and 4.8 assists per night.
Philadelphia averages 107.9 PPG and it concedes 106.9. Joel Embiid had 29 points and 14 boards in the latest loss to the Nets and he so far averages 23.8 points, 11 boards and 1.82 blocks per night.
I think the Heat get caught a little “flat footed” here after their close loss in Cleveland, while also “looking ahead” to their matchup in Detroit tomorrow night.
Conversely I expect the hungry home side to risk life and limb this evening as it looks to snap its recent string of shoddy play.
Consider the 76ers in this matchup.
Good luck…Larry

NCAA-B | Canisius vs Marist
Play on: Canisius -7 -105 at 5Dimes

Free Pick on Canisius -
I look for the Golden Griffins to have no problem going into Marist and coming away with a win and cover over the Red Foxes. Canisius will be looking to rebound here from an upset loss at home to Niagara. The loss was just a blimp on the radar, as the Golden Griffins are still 9-2 over their last 11. They haven't just been winning games, they are also 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 lined games.
The Red Foxes are just 3-10 in their last 13 games and are just 1-3 in their last 4 games at home. Maris is also just 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 home games vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Red Foxes did win last time out, but they are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a win. Golden Griffins on the other hand are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 off a SU loss. Take Canisius!

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Sacramento Kings +13.5
The Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. They have won three of their last four games despite playing all four on the road. They have pulled off outright upsets as 10, 9.5 and 7.5-point underdogs in those three wins. They are playing well right now and ready to give the Warriors a run for their money tonight. The Warriors are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. Something isn’t right with them right now as they are coming off their worst loss of the season in a 99-129 setback at Utah. They can’t be laying 13.5 points on the road to the Kings, who already beat them 110-106 as 12.5-point road dogs in their only meeting this season. Give me the Kings.

Play on: Raptors -4 -110 at BMaker

Toronto has won five straight meetings in this series and we expect them to get the comfortable win here tonight. Toronto is being punished too much by the oddsmakers for a back-to-back here but Portland is lacking rest too as even though they had the night off on Thursday they are playing their third game in four nights, and on the road that is tough, especially against one of the best teams in the East. Portland has been playing well lately but we think they are in tough tonight against one of the best home teams in the NBA (Toronto is 19-4 at home this season) and the Raps have a knack for covering short lines like this.

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Philadelphia 76ers -4
The Key: The 76ers will be hungry for a victory tonight following 3 consecutive losses, all of which came on the road. The 76ers are as healthy as they’ve been all season now with J.J. Redick returning from a seven-game absence to pour in 20 points on Wednesday. Now the only player they are missing is Markelle Fultz. The home team is 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Heat and 76ers. Philadelphia is 29-13 ATS off a road loss over the last 2 seasons. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Philadelphia is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 games after allowing 100 points or more in its previous game. The 76ers are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 Friday games. Take Philadelphia.

Lakers +1.5
The Lakers are worth a flyer here on Friday night.
Los Angeles catches a Nets team that is just abysmal on the defensive end. Brooklyn enters play on Friday allowing 109 points per game on the season.
The Lakers offense should be able to really get to the rim easily and find some open shooting lanes here in this one. They are putting up nearly 107 points per contest as they have just such a youthful core that can catch fire at any time. While that doesn't always happen to be the case, when they're playing defenses like Brooklyn, they certainly can.
Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
Grab the visitors.
Back Los Angeles.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

NBA | Pelicans vs Thunder
Play on: Pelicans +6 -110 at 5Dimes

The shock of not having injured superstar DeMarcus Cousins for the season after upsetting the Rockets last Friday hit the Pelicans hard. New Orleans proceeded to lose at home to the Clippers and Kings. The Pelicans were favored in those two games. They aren't favored here. But the spot is right for New Orleans to bounce back. It has been a week now since Cousins went down with a ruptured Achilles and the Pelicans are ready to move on. They made an aggressive move trading for Nikola Mirotic, an underrated forward who helped spur the Bulls' turnaround. New Orleans management showed its players they aren't ready to quit on the season despite the loss of Cousins by making that move. I believe the Pelicans will show up for this matchup and play hard. New Orleans defeated Oklahoma City, 114-107, when the teams last played on Nov. 20. Cousins was ejected in the third quarter in that game so the Pelicans proved they could win without him. The Thunder may be the most overvalued team in the Western Conference. They are 10-21 ATS the past 31 times they've been favored by four or more points. While the Pelicans were idle on Thursday, the Thunder were involved in an intense 127-124 road loss to the Nuggets playing in high altitude. This will be Oklahoma City's fifth game in seven days and second in two nights. Russell Westbrook and Paul George have been performing at high levels again. Westbrook, though, played more than 39 minutes last night and George logged more than 36 minutes. Westbrook shoved a fan who came on the court so there's a possibility he could be suspended. Oklahoma City's defense has been regressing. The Thunder are giving up an average of 113.2 points in their last seven games. They've gone 1-2 since Andre Roberson, their best defensive player, was lost for the season because of a ruptured patellar tendon.

10* FREE NBA PICK (Hornets -3)
I think the price is right here to back Charlotte as a small 3-point home favorite against the Pacers. Indiana comes in having won 3 straight and are 5-1 in their last 6, but I think we could see a flat Pacers team. They just finished up 3 games at home and have this random 1 road game at Charlotte before returning back home for 2 more.
It's also a team they just beat at home last week, which I also think takes away from the motivation. Adding to all of that is the fact that the Pacers are making the trip without head coach Nat McMillan, who is missing the game for personal reasons. Forward Myles Turner is also questionable to play. The Hornets have had their struggles at home, but are coming off an impressive 13-point road win over the Hawks and should be extra motivated here with revenge from that recent loss at Indiana. Give me Charlotte -3!

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Brooklyn Nets snapped a four-game skid with a 116-108 triumph over Philadelphia on Wednesday. They're 7-1 ATS after scoring 115 points or more this season and I like them to ride the momentum to another victory when they host the LA Lakers Friday night.
The Lakers opened a five-game road trip with a win at Chicago, but they've dropped back-to-back games since losing by 12 points at Toronto and 22 points at Orlando. Tough spot here and they're just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
The Nets are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games playing on one days rest.
My free pick is on Brooklyn Nets.
