Mavericks vs. Spurs Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/28/2018

The San Antonio Spurs aim to earn consecutive wins for the first time this season when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. DeMar DeRozan continued his solid start with the Spurs by posting 30 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in Saturday's 110-106 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, which gave San Antonio a nice recovery from a 20-point loss to Indiana at home three days earlier.

"It's our fifth game of the season," DeRozan told reporters Saturday. "You've got to kind of enjoy it, because this is the beginning stages. We're going to keep building and keep getting better and better. It gives you a lot of faith." DeRozan is averaging 27.2 points, 7.8 assists - well above his career average of 3.1 - and six rebounds in his first five games with San Antonio. The four-time All-Star shot just 28.2 percent in two matchups last season with the Mavericks, who fell 113-104 to Utah at home Sunday night. Dennis Smith Jr. returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury to score 27 points on 12-of-19 shooting for Dallas, which has shot under 42 percent from the field in three straight games.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Dallas, San Antonio)

ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (2-4): Veteran forward Harrison Barnes, the team's leading scorer last season, was limited to seven points in 34 minutes in Sunday's loss and is 8-for-30 from the floor in two games since returning from a hamstring injury. DeAndre Jordan finished with 12 points and 19 rebounds versus the Jazz for his sixth straight double-double to begin the season. The veteran center also had a career-high nine assists in the defeat.

ABOUT THE SPURS (3-2): San Antonio has allowed an average of 118.6 points on the season but a handful of defensive stands late in the game against Los Angeles was a nice departure from the norm. "That sort of thing is what we are used to," coach Gregg Popovich told the media after his team held the Lakers to 18 fourth-quarter points. "That's really the first time this year that we've done that. If that will become a habit, we will have a good opportunity to win a lot of games." Both Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol had double-doubles off the bench.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Gay is averaging eight rebounds - more than two over his career mark - while making 6-of-10 from 3-point range through the first five games.

2. Smith hit 3-of-4 from behind the 3-point arc against the Jazz after making 4-of-18 through his first four games.

3. Spurs F LaMarcus Aldridge averaged 27.5 points and 10.5 rebounds to lead his team to three wins in four meetings with the Mavericks last season.

PREDICTION: Spurs 112, Mavericks 103

Pelicans vs. Nuggets Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/28/2018

After four straight wins to open the season with their superstar doing plenty of heavy lifting, the New Orleans Pelicans tasted defeat for the first time without him. The Pelicans open a five-game road trip with Anthony Davis's status in question when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

Davis averaged 27.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, a league-leading 3.8 blocks and 2.5 steals during New Orleans' 4-0 start but he was absent for Saturday's 132-111 loss to Utah at home due to an elbow sprain. "There's not any long-term concern," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters of Davis. "He came in today and tried to shoot at shoot-around, and there was a still a little bit of pain. ... I'm not going to risk anything over one game." The Nuggets also opened 4-0 before suffering a 128-111 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. They made just 6-of-23 3-pointers -- 3-of-17 by the starters -- and entered Sunday's action ranked 29th in the league at 29.2 percent from long range.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS New Orleans, Altitude (Denver)

ABOUT THE PELICANS (4-1): Nikola Mirotic (25 points, eight rebounds) and Jrue Holiday (18 points) did their best to carry the scoring load without Davis, but the five-time All-Star was severely missed on the other end of the floor. It didn't help when another starter -- guard Elfrid Payton -- left the contest with a sprained ankle that has his status in doubt. Reserve big man Jahlil Okafor made his first real impact of the season with 11 points and six rebounds in just 14 minutes.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (4-1): Center Nikola Jokic continued his strong start with 24 points and 11 rebounds against the Lakers while guard Jamal Murray chipped in 22 points and a season-high 10 boards, but the team is still waiting for a little more from veteran forward Paul Millsap. "I feel like I'm just rushing everything. Everything's rushed," Millsap -- who is shooting 37.2 percent while making 1-of-8 3-pointers -- told the Denver Post. "That's normally not how I play basketball. I don't rush anything in life. For me to get out there on a basketball court and rush things, it's a little unprecedented." Guard Monte Morris provided a boost in the loss to the Lakers with a career-high 20 points off the bench.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Mirotic is averaging 23.8 points and 9.4 rebounds.

2. Jokic has recorded four straight double-doubles.

3. The Nuggets won both meetings at home last season, including a 146-114 victory in which Murray scored 31 points on 13-of-18 shooting.

PREDICTION: Nuggets 120, Pelicans 113

Calgary Flames vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Preview and Predictions 10-29-2018 in NHL

NHL Previews 28th October 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 10/28/2018

Auston Matthews has played a pronounced role in the Toronto Maple Leafs' sizzling start to the season, but coach Mike Babcock's charges will be without the star forward on Monday when they host the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Arena. The 21-year-old Matthews, who leads the Maple Leafs in goals (10) and points (16), has been ruled out for the tilt after sustaining a left shoulder injury in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Winnipeg.

"It's tough. (Matthews is) a big part of this team, everyone knows that. Hopefully we get him back soon," forward Mitch Marner told reporters Saturday after helping Toronto snap a two-game home losing skid by setting up a pair of goals to reach 100 assists in his career. Fellow forwards Kasperi Kapanen and Nazem Kadri have scored in back-to-back games for Toronto, which has won seven of the last nine overall to boast an NHL high-tying 16 points. Calgary put forth a better performance following Thursday's 9-1 shellacking by Pittsburgh but sustained its third straight loss two nights later with a 4-3 shootout decision against Washington. "It couldn't get much worse than last game, but the way we bounced back - a tough start to the game, down 2-0, but great resiliency to score two and tie it up," alternate captain Matthew Tkachuk told reporters. "... It (stinks) anytime you lose. This one will sting for the night, but the way our games are scheduled, you have to have a (short) memory."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, Sportsnet, TVA

ABOUT THE FLAMES (5-5-1): Johnny Gaudreau recorded his second multi-point performance in four outings and fourth this season with a pair of assists against the Capitals. The 25-year-old, however, was held off the scoresheet in both encounters versus the Maple Leafs last season, with Calgary mustering just two goals total en route to losing both contests. Captain Mark Giordano, who netted one of those tallies in a 2-1 shootout loss on Dec. 6, also had two assists in the setback versus Washington.

ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS (8-3-0): Kadri centered the top line of Patrick Marleau and Marner at practice on Sunday while Kapanen was shuffled to join John Tavares and Zach Hyman on the second line while also replacing Matthews on the top power-play unit. "You're not going to replace a player like (Matthews) and his caliber. The way he's started this year and the impact he's made, he's one of the best in the league," Tavares said, per TSN. "But we've got a (heck) of a group in here talent-wise and skill-wise with work ethic and determination, so it's a chance for guys to step up and fill that opportunity as a group." Tavares, who set up a goal on Saturday, had a pair of assists while playing with the New York Islanders in a 5-2 win at Calgary on March 11.

OVERTIME

1. Toronto G Frederik Andersen owns a sparkling 7-0-1 mark with one shutout in 10 career encounters against Calgary.

2. Flames F Elias Lindholm, who leads the team with seven goals, tallied twice in three meetings with the Maple Leafs last season.

3. Toronto carries the NHL's second-ranked power play (32.1 percent) into Monday's tilt against Calgary, which has the league's fifth-worst penalty kill (71.8).

PREDICTION: Maple Leafs 4, Flames 2

Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks Preview and Predictions 10-29-2018 in NHL

Wild vs. Canucks Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/28/2018

Mikael Granlund and the Minnesota Wild hope their respective success travels well as they begin a pronounced seven-game road trip versus the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. Granlund answered a slow start with five goals and four assists during his seven-game point streak, with his goal total leading the team while his point total (nine) is two shy of fellow forward Zach Parise for top honors.

Granlund scored a goal and set up Eric Staal's go-ahead tally midway into the third period on Saturday as Minnesota skated to its fifth straight victory with a 3-2 triumph over Colorado. Staal also had a goal and an assist in the win for the Wild, who will take on Washington on Nov. 13 in their next home game before hosting Vancouver two nights later. The Canucks dropped their second straight lopsided decision with Saturday's 5-0 setback to Pittsburgh and have lost four of six overall to take the joy out of their fast start to the season. Jacob Markstrom turned aside 30 shots in that contest and presumably will see his workload increase after fellow goaltender Anders Nilsson sustained a fractured finger during the pre-game skate.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, FS North Plus (Minnesota), Sportsnet (Vancouver)

ABOUT THE WILD (6-2-2): Devan Dubnyk has been on a roll, turning aside 117 of 122 shots to win his last four outings and improve to 5-1-2 with a 1.96 goals-against average and .945 save percentage this season. The 32-year-old only yielded six goals on 82 shots versus Vancouver last season, but skated away with losses in two of the three encounters. Staal collected a goal and an assist and Granlund set up two tallies against the Canucks last season.

ABOUT THE CANUCKS (6-6-0): Fellow goaltender Richard Bachman was recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League with Nilsson expected to miss two-to-three weeks, according to coach Travis Green. "Nilly took a shot in the morning and it didn't feel right. He has a fractured finger, so Bachman will be up for a bit," said Green, who also noted that defenseman Chris Tanev remains day-to-day with a hip injury. The news was not as promising for blue-liner Alex Edler, who has a sprained MCL and is sidelined three-to-six weeks, per Green.

OVERTIME

1. Minnesota LW Jason Zucker registered his eighth point in as many games with an assist against the Avalanche.

2. Staal resides two goals shy of 400 for his career.

3. Vancouver LW Darren Archibald, who scored a goal in his lone game this season, was reassigned to the Comets on Sunday while Minnesota recalled F Jordan Greenway from Iowa.

PREDICTION: Wild 3, Canucks 2

Monday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Game of the Night - Toronto at Milwaukee, Fox Sports Wisconsin, 8:05 ET

The NBA’s only remaining undefeated teams meet in Milwaukee’s new Fiserv Forum, which has definitely emerged on the to-do list.

I got to see most NBA arenas in my past life -- wish I hadn’t missed Seattle and Vancouver – so a good gym is really appreciated around these parts. It appears that they’ve put together quite the building in downtown Milwaukee. The lower bowl packs 10,000 and is sure to provide a great atmosphere when the Bucks command it on the floor. Fortunately for Milwaukee, that’s going to be often.

Before October even ends, we can already say with certainty that the Eastern Conference has a fourth top contender. Favored Boston, Toronto and Philadelphia rolled off everyone’s tongue as the most likely to ascend to the throne vacated by the Cavaliers when LeBron James left town again, but the Bucks have quickly taken the wait-and-see stance most took regarding their fortunes and shoved that in the nearest closet.

The Bucks are still 14-to-1 to win the East at the Westgate Superbook behind the Celtics (4/5), Raptors (2/1) and 76ers (5/1), so that’s emerging as a fantastic value bet while it lasts. Milwaukee opened at 25-to-1, lumped in there with the Wizards as teams that could make the leap if everything broke right. While the Wizards have gotten off to a rough start without Dwight Howard to help shore things up in the paint, the Bucks look to move to 7-0 and ensure everyone knows that the secret is out by winning Monday’s battle of unbeatens.

New head coach Mike Budenholzer has quickly put his imprint on things with an increased tempo and smart rotations that click and play to the strengths of the guys on the floor. The Bucks lead the East in scoring (119.3) and play at the third-fastest pace in the conference behind the Hawks and Wizards. Despite this, Milwaukee ranks second in the entire league in defensive efficiency (95.4) and is tops in rebound rate (55.6).

The Bucks have beaten their last five opponents by double-digits, which includes a 17-point win over the Pacers team most expect will emerge as their primary competition in the Central. They’ve beaten the 76ers by 15 and the Timberwolves by 30, winning games so decisively that Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging only 30.7 minutes per game. It was a surprise when he came back into Saturday night’s 113-91 rout of Orlando in the fourth with the game already decided and seemingly was doing so just to stretch his legs and get some reps since it’s so early in the season.

Antetokounmpo missed the start of the second half after catching an Aaron Gordon elbow that he said “probably knocked (him) out.” Concussion tests revealed no issue, but his availability for this one should be monitored. Since he played some in the fourth, the presumption is he should participate.

Among the players surrounding him, Khris Middleton (21.8 ppg) looks like a lock to reach his first All-Star game and Eric Bledsoe is growing increasingly comfortable with his duties at the point, defending and running the floor with the athleticism few can match. Brook Lopez and Ersan Ilyasova have helped spread the floor, former Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon is the perfect glue guy and this year’s rookie Donte DiVincenzo is the same winner he was at Villanova and adds to the quality pieces.

Versatility is a strength for Milwaukee, which has a number of guys it can throw at Kawhi Leonard in an effort to slow down his fantastic start. He’s shooting 50 percent from the field, has shot 10-for-22 from 3-point range and is averaging 26.6 points and 8.0 boards per game. Because he sat at Washington on the second night of a back-to-back, this will be his first road game of the season.

Everyone wants to see him match up with Antetokounmpo, so definitely tune in for that since it’s somewhat of a rarity. The two haven’t been on the court together since Jan. 10, 2017, when Greek Freak was limited to nine minutes due to illness but the Bucks still won 109-107 behind Michael Beasley and a last-minute comeback, overcoming Leonard’s 30 points. Leonard scored 21 in his last game in Milwaukee, a 97-96 Spurs win, so if those games are any indication, this one might be tight.

Kyle Lowry is averaging 19.8 games for the Raps and shooting nearly 58 percent for a team blessed with quality depth as its biggest strength. For that to translate to tonight’s showdown, forward OG Anunoby (personal), Delon Wright (groin) and Fred VanVleet (toe) must participate. According to Sportsnet Canada’s Michael Grange, Anunoby and Wright expect to play while VanVleet is day-to-day.

The Bucks are 4-2 ATS, while Toronto is 3-3. Five of the Raptors' six games have surpassed the posted total, while Milwaukee has seen the 'over' hit in four of six.

Game of the Night II- New Orleans at Denver, Atltitude, 9:05 ET

Leading your division through five games is somewhat trivial, but for two teams looking to climb into the Western Conference’s top-four, its progress.

The Pelicans and Nuggets have each won four of their first five and lead the Southwest and Northwest, respectively. Denver enjoyed a perfect 4-0 start straight up and against the spread before suffering a 121-114 loss at the Lakers on Thursday night, so it should be well-rested for this date with the Pels, who also come off their first defeat.

With Anthony Davis ruled out due to an elbow injury, Utah crushed New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center, winning 132-111 in a game it led by as much as 28 points. Davis tried to play through the elbow sprain against the Nets and shot just . Because he felt pain at shootaround prior to the Jazz game, he was held out, but could play tonight and should certainly be back in the lineup at some point this week.

The Pels will be without point guard Elfrid Payton, who left with a sprained ankle in Saturday’s third quarter. They’ll also likely be missing shooter Darius Miller (quad) and list Julius Randle as probable due to plantar fasciitis, so count on him filling Davis’ shoes in the starting lineup next to Nikola Mirotic if the All-Star can’t go.

Denver center Nikola Jokic is averaging 23.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists through the first five games but had a six-turnover night against the Lakers and has made just two of his last eight 3-pointers after opening the season 4-for-7. The Nuggets will be without emotional leader Will Barton, a versatile, talented wing, for the foreseeable future due to a hip injury. Torrey Craig has taken his spot in the lineup.

Denver has won four of its last five meetings with the Pelicans, including a 117-111 OT win in the most recent contest last December 15.

The card

Atlanta at Philadelphia, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Hawks lost at home to Chicago but have started faster than expected by playing as fast as they intended to, leading the NBA in pace (109.8 possessions per game).

Philadelphia is just 1-5 ATS but even though Joel Embiid struggled in the second half of his first back-to-back of the season, shooting 9-for-24 in Wednesday's loss in Milwaukee, he looked no worse for the wear on Saturday night in finishing with 27 points and 14 boards in a two-point win over Charlotte.

Portland at Indiana, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Trail Blazers continue a four-game road trip after splitting in Florida and continue to get brilliance from Damian Lillard, who has scored over 40 in consecutive games, shooting nearly 55 percent and 10-for-21 from 3-point range.

Nate McMillan is just 1-3 against Portland, his former employer, since ascending to the head chair with the Pacers, but gets suspended wing Tyreke Evans back from suspension after he dropped the hammer to prove a point that no one is above the law after Evans showed up late to shootaround.

Sacramento at Miami, 7:35 p.m. ET: Second-year point guard DeAaron Fox has a chance at Most Improved if he can straighten out the jump shot and hit 2-for-5 from 3-point range in Friday night's win over the Wizards after starting the season 1-for-10 from beyond the arc.

After impressive wins over New York and Portland, the Heat holding serve at home here would give it a three-game winning streak that would match last season's second-longest run of prosperity.

Brooklyn at New York, 8:05 p.m. ET: With the exception of 20-point loss in Indiana, the Nets have been in every game this season and are 4-2 ATS after slicing into a 19-point deficit to challenge Golden State late in the foruth quarter of Sunday's 120-114 loss in which they shot 20-for-42 from 3-point range.

The Knicks lost in Brooklyn by a bucket on Oct. 19 but had won four straight against the Nets before Tim Hardaway's game-winning 3-pointer at Barclays came nowhere close to finding the mark.

Golden State at Chicago, 8:05 p.m. ET: Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are in a great flow to start 2018-19 and combined to shoot 20-for-41 from 3-point range in wins over NYC's teams, scoring 139 points between them by often taking turns toying with the Knicks and Nets.

WIth Bobby Portis and Kris Dunn out for at least a month due to knee injuries and Lauri Markkanen (elbow) also out until about December, the Bulls are the Zach LaVine Show at the moment and got the full brunt of all that entails in a Saturday win in Atlanta where he scored 27 points and 11 boards but turned it over nine times.

L.A. Lakers at Minnesota, 8:05 p.m. ET, NBATV: The Lake Show has been as inconsistent as expected thus far, but Lance Stephenson has been the driving force in both wins, dominating on the second unit while averaging 16.3 points, 7 rebounds and 4.6 assists over the last three games entering this one.

The Jimmy Butler saga continues with no resolution but it's obvious his presence is killing Karl-Anthony Towns' game since even more touches due to Andrew Wiggins' absence couldn't snap him out of his funk as Towns shot 12-for-33 in losses to Toronto and Milwaukee, regressing in full view.

Dallas at San Antonio, 8:35 p.m. ET: Luka Doncic is averaging 18.7 points, 6.2 boards and 4.0 assists through the first six games of his career, but it remains to be seen how he handles losing for the first time in his pro career given how successful his teams were in Europe.

Sweeping the Lakers has helped the Spurs top the .500 mark through five games and a light schedule over the next few weeks give them an opportunity to remain among the West's top eight when most had written them off prematurely -- again.
