Preview: Pacers at Rockets

Gracenote
Nov 28, 2017

The Indiana Pacers are winners of six of their last seven games, with the only loss in that span coming against the Eastern Conference-best Boston Celtics. The Pacers will get another chance to prove themselves against a conference leader when they face the best in the West by visiting the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

Indiana bounced back from its 108-98 setback against Boston on Saturday by knocking off the Orlando Magic 121-109 on Monday behind 26 points from leading scorer Victor Oladipo, who sat out the loss to the Celtics with a knee injury. "It felt pretty good to be out there playing again," Oladipo told reporters. "It was tough watching the last game." The Rockets have a guard who can score as well in James Harden, who put up 20 points in the first quarter on Monday against New York and finished with 37 as Houston won its fifth straight and 11th in the last 12 contests. Harden, who leads the NBA in scoring at an average of 31.7 points, finished two assists shy of a triple-double on Monday and is averaging 34.4 points during the five-game winning streak.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Indiana, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)

ABOUT THE PACERS (12-9): Oladipo hit his first 11 shots on Monday and finished 11-of-14 from the floor to go with six rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals. "He shot the ball with a great deal of confidence," Indiana coach Nate McMillan told reporters. "Those shots he was taking - I know I yelled one time, 'Vic, what are you doing?' And the ball, it hit all bottom. When a guy is playing with that type of confidence, we try to put the ball in his hands and let him make plays." The 25-year-old guard is averaging 23 points on 47.4 percent shooting, including 46.2 percent from beyond the arc.
ABOUT THE ROCKETS (16-4): Harden hit his first five 3-point attempts and finished 8-of-13 from beyond the arc on Monday while Houston got a rare look at a zone defense and hoisted up 50 3-point attempts, connecting on 20. The Rockets lead the NBA with an average of 44.6 3-point attempts and are connecting at a 36.1 percent clip. Houston continues to win despite one of their most prolific shooters going through a terrible slump from beyond the arc, as Eric Gordon is just 10-of-52 over his last six games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Pacers SF Lance Stephenson is 19-of-29 from the field over the last three games.

2. Rockets PG Chris Paul is 3-of-19 from the floor over the last two games.

3. Houston snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with a 118-95 win at Indiana on Nov. 12 behind 26 points and 15 assists from Harden.

PREDICTION: Rockets 121, Pacers 117

Preview: Timberwolves at Pelicans

Gracenote
Nov 29, 2017

The rested New Orleans Pelicans should have a distinct advantage in energy and preparedness when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. While the Timberwolves will be playing their third game in four days - including Tuesday's 92-89 loss to Washington in the finale of a four-game homestand - the Pelicans will be playing their first in that span.

The three-day respite - the longest of the season thus far for New Orleans - will allow the players to lick their wounds from a 110-95 loss at Golden State on Saturday. The 95-point effort was the Pelicans' lowest output since Oct. 24 and big man DeMarcus Cousins struggled while producing 15 points and six turnovers in 31 minutes. If energy is in short order, the Timberwolves should at least be motivated to put forth a better effort after they lost a fourth-quarter lead at home to the Wizards, scoring a total of 59 points over the final three quarters. Minnesota claimed the first meeting with New Orleans 104-98 on Nov. 1 despite a rough outing for star center Karl-Anthony Towns, who was held to two points on 1-of-7 shooting.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), FSN New Orleans

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (12-9): Minnesota has struggled to find consistent production from its bench and that was the case again in Tuesday's loss, as four reserves combined for 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting. Towns (20 points, 17 rebounds), Jimmy Butler (17 points, 10 assists) and Taj Gibson (16 points, 11 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles as all five starters finished with a positive plus-minus rating. Point guard Jeff Teague missed his third straight game with an Achilles issue but was able to test it out pregame and could be ready for the second half of the back-to-back.
ABOUT THE PELICANS (11-9): New Orleans' starting lineup has undergone some changes of late, first getting point guard Rajon Rondo back and then re-inserting E'Twaun Moore and putting him at the small forward spot, where he has given the team a spark. "E'Twaun is able to score the basketball and make the right plays," forward Anthony Davis told The Times-Picayune. "It's good when he's around (the starters). ... When he's out there, he's definitely a threat on both sides of the floor." The 28-year-old Moore is shooting 51.5 percent as a starter and 38.9 percent overall from beyond the arc after making 4-of-6 against the Warriors.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Cousins had 35 points, nine rebounds, six assists and six steals in the first meeting.

2. Towns owns five straight double-doubles and 10 in the last 11 games.

3. Pelicans SF Dante Cunningham, who was recently benched in favor of Moore, left Saturday's loss with a knee issue and is day-to-day.

PREDICTION: Pelicans 108, Timberwolves 100

Preview: Nets at Mavericks

Gracenote
Nov 28, 2017

The Brooklyn Nets hope to have a more complete lineup when they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday in the finale of a three-game road trip. The Nets split the first two games of the trip, falling 117-103 at Houston on Monday without three starters - DeMarre Carroll (illness), Rondae-Hollis Jefferson (ankle) and Allen Crabbe (back).

Brooklyn continued to chuck up a boatload of 3-pointers, making 10-of-39 attempts with eight different players taking multiple shots from beyond the arc. The Mavericks won three of four prior to falling 115-108 at San Antonio on Monday, spoiling a seven-point halftime advantage. Rookie Dennis Smith Jr. and Wesley Matthews led six players in double figures with 19 points apiece as Dallas asserted itself in a tough matchup before fading late. "It's a win or lose league," forward Dirk Nowitzki told reporters. "We were right there in the fourth against a really good team. We've had plenty of those outings. Now we have 16 losses."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), FSN Southwest (Dallas)

ABOUT THE NETS (7-13): Isaiah Whitehead was rushed from the G-League Long Island Nets to fill in some gaps on the shorthanded roster and he took advantage of the opportunity with a career high-tying 24 points on 10-of-16 from the floor against Houston. "Against a talented team like that ... Listen, Isaiah has a talent," coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters. "He's still a young guy (22). He's got to cut his turnovers down. I keep telling him. I think if he can control that a little bit, but I liked his presence, I liked how he competed." Whitehead's one other 24-point performance came at Dallas last season.

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (5-16): Matthews entered Tuesday ranked 10th in the NBA in made 3-pointers (54), and he is 9-for-14 from long distance over the last two games. Smith is averaging 17 points over a three-game span after the rookie was held to single digits in his previous three contests. Wednesday is the opener of a three-game homestand for Dallas, which then plays 10 of its next 14 on the road leading to the end of 2017.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Entering Tuesday, Brooklyn was second in the NBA in 3-point attempts per game (33.7), while Dallas ranked third (33.2).

2. Nets PG Spencer Dinwiddie is averaging 8.1 assists - two above his season average - in his last six games.

3. Dallas won four straight meetings and 25 of the last 33.

Preview: Grizzlies at Spurs

Gracenote
Nov 28, 2017

The San Antonio Spurs are the picture of organizational stability with head coach Gregg Popovich the longest tenured in the NBA and R.C. Buford serving as general manager since 2002. The Memphis Grizzlies, who visit the Spurs on Wednesday, are in organizational turmoil after letting go of head coach David Fizdale on Monday amid an eight-game losing streak.

Fizdale lasted 101 games as the coach of the Grizzlies before being let go by general manager Chris Wallace, who made J.B. Bickerstaff the sixth head coach of his tenure when he announced him to replace Fizdale in the interim. "After a thorough evaluation, I decided a change was necessary to move forward and provide the team and organization its best chance at success this season and beyond," Wallace, who took over as Memphis general manager in 2007, said in a statement. "Coach Fizdale represented the Grizzlies and City of Memphis proudly, and we wish him well as he continues his career." Buford has never known a head coach other than Popovich, who had kind words for Fizdale. "Fiz is a fine young coach, and nobody likes to see those guys have such a short tenure," Popovich said, according to ESPN.com. "He did a helluva job, and I don't think he's going to have any problem landing someplace. He's a good man, and he knows what he's doing. He's tough-minded. I think he will be fine."
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Memphis), FSN Southwest (San Antonio)

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (7-12): Fizdale's firing comes one day after he benched star center Marc Gasol in the fourth quarter of a 98-88 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets, a move that didn't make his star player very happy. "I don't know the why," Gasol told reporters after the game. "...It's a first for me, trust me, and I don't like it one bit. I'm more (upset) than I can show and frustrated." Gasol and Fizdale were trying to win without point guard Mike Conley, who sat out the last six games with an Achilles injury and is not expected back until sometime in December.
ABOUT THE SPURS (13-7): San Antonio just got its point guard back with the return of Tony Parker, who made his season debut on Monday after rupturing his quadriceps tendon during the playoffs last spring and delivered six points and four assists in 14 minutes. "I'm always amazed by all the love from Spurs fans," Parker told reporters. "It's hard to describe the feeling, but I was just excited and just wanted to thank everybody for all the support. The city of San Antonio has been amazing, all the fans, the Spurs organization." San Antonio earned a 115-108 win over Dallas with Parker back -- its ninth win in the last 12 games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Gasol is shooting 35.4 percent from the floor over the last five games and was 6-of-17 before taking a seat on the bench Sunday.

2. Spurs PF LaMarcus Aldridge scored a season-high 33 points on 13-of-19 shooting Monday.

3. San Antonio beat Memphis in six games in the first round of the playoffs last spring

Preview: Warriors at Lakers

Gracenote
Nov 28, 2017

The Golden State Warriors get plenty of credit for their high-scoring offense, but their defense is just as important to their standing as the defending NBA champions. The Warriors hope to get at least one key piece back in the lineup and tighten some things on the defensive end when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Golden State was without Kevin Durant (ankle) and Stephen Curry (hand) on Monday and allowed the Sacramento Kings to shoot 53.2 percent from the floor in a 110-106 setback. "Overall, our defensive effort wasn't there tonight," head coach Steve Kerr, who directs a Warriors defense that leads the NBA in opponent's field-goal percentage (.431), told reporters. "We didn't have the juice we needed to stop them." Golden State is beginning a six-game road trip at Los Angeles, which is dealing with its own defensive issues after allowing the Kings and the Clippers to average 116.5 points in back-to-back losses and knows it needs to get things fixed quickly with the Warriors coming to town. "We've got to be ready to play or we're going to get blown out," Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball told reporters.
TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBATV, NBCSN Bay Area (Golden State), Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (15-6): Curry is expected to be back for the start of the road trip while Durant remains day-to-day, and Golden State looked like it could use one of its MVPs down the stretch on Monday. The Warriors did not make a field goal in the final three minutes and watched the offense stagnate around Klay Thompson, who went 7-of-20 from the floor and missed his final four shots. Curry suffered the bruised hand while putting up 27 points in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and is averaging 31.6 points over his last five games.
ABOUT THE LAKERS (8-12): Los Angeles got one of its more athletic frontcourt defenders back on Monday, when power forward Larry Nance Jr. returned from a broken hand and added four steals and a block to his nine points and eight rebounds in 30 minutes. Nance's return pushed rookie Kyle Kuzma back into a reserve role, but Kuzma still managed to go 5-of-7 from the floor and score 15 points in 20 minutes. Ball was not quite as sharp, going 1-of-7 from the floor, and is shooting just 30.9 percent from the field on the season, including 24.5 percent from 3-point range.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Warriors SF Andre Iguodala scored in double figures in each of the last three games -- his longest such streak of the season.

2. Lakers SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a season-high 29 points on Monday and scored at least 20 in three straight contests.
