Buffalo Bulls vs. Kent St. Golden Flashes Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NCAAB Predictions 24th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/24/2019

Buffalo will find itself in unfamiliar territory Friday when it visits Kent State for a Mid-American Conference game. The No. 14 Bulls will need to rebound from a loss for only the second time this season and first time in conference play when they take on the red-hot Golden Flashes.

CJ Massinburg nearly wrestled victory from the jaws of defeat for Buffalo by scoring nine points in the final 1:19 of Tuesday's game at Northern Illinois, including a game-tying 3-pointer with 11 seconds remaining, but instead the Bulls lost for the first time in 12 contests when their senior scores 20 or more points. "It shouldn't have come down to that," coach Nate Oats told the media after his team failed to switch on defense, allowing a layup with two seconds remaining. "That's three games in a row now that we have not played good basketball. We need to get back to the blue collar stuff that got us to this point, like rebounding and diving for loose balls." The Bulls, who haven't dropped back-to-back games since December 2017, came up with only nine offensive rebounds, their lowest total since November, and had a season-low 11 assists against a season-high 17 turnovers. Senior Jaylin Walker has poured in 88 points over the last three games, including back-to-back 30-point contests, as the Golden Flashes have won three straight, including 87-85 in overtime Tuesday against Toledo.

TV: 6:30 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network

ABOUT BUFFALO (17-2, 5-1 MAC): As one of the better two-point shooting teams in the country (54.9 percent), Buffalo continues to weigh itself down with poor shooting from beyond the arc. For the fourth straight game and fifth time in six MAC contests, the Bulls finished below their season average on 3-point shooting (34.2 percent). Against Northern Illinois, the poor shooting extended to other areas of the floor as the Bulls finished at 36.7 percent, their lowest number since suffering their first loss of the season Dec. 21 at Marquette, including a combined 14-of-37 showing from starters Massinburg, Jeremy Harris and Jayvon Graves.

ABOUT KENT STATE (15-4, 4-2): With four minutes gone in the second half against Toledo, Walker had 10 points and the Golden Flashes trailed by 17 points and were looking at being dealt their third loss in the conference. Instead, they caught fire, making 9-of-22 from deep - six of those from Walker, a 6-3 guard from Michigan, who scored 26 points in the second half. Mitch Peterson, Anthony Roberts, who returned from a two-game absence to score 10 points and grab seven rebounds, and Jalen Avery also contributed big 3-pointers for the Golden Flashes, who are fourth in the MAC in 3-point shooting at 36 percent.

TIP-INS

1. Massinburg (1,679 points), Walker (1,550) and Buffalo's Nick Perkins (1,513) each rank among the top 50 active career scorers in Division I.

2. Walker has scored 20 or more points only once in seven career meetings with the Bulls.

3. The Bulls and the Golden Flashes, who have dominated the series 32-17 - including 16-4 at home, have met eight times over the last three seasons, including a pair of MAC Tournament games, with each team winning four times.

PREDICTION: Kent State 84, Buffalo 81

Michigan Wolverines vs. Indiana Hoosiers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NCAAB Predictions 24th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/24/2019

Sixth-ranked Michigan looks to regain its scoring touch when it visits Indiana on Friday in a Big Ten game. The Wolverines are coming off their worst shooting performance since Nov. 23, 2016 as they finished 33.9 percent from the field, but managed to pull out a 59-57 victory against Minnesota on Tuesday after being held to a season-low points total in a 64-54 setback to Wisconsin on Saturday, and hope to get back on track by sweeping the season series with Indiana.

Michigan, which beat Indiana 74-63 on Jan. 6, is still well placed for a run at the Big Ten regular season title following a program-record 17-0 start as the Wolverines sit one game behind No. 5 Michigan State, and hope to keep pace with the Spartans by pouring more misery on the Hoosiers. Indiana is coming apart at the seams following a 73-66 loss against Northwestern on Tuesday. The Hoosiers have dropped five consecutive games and are in danger of missing out on the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year, but a potential quadrant one win over a Top 10 team could provide the spark that ignites Indiana's postseason push with the second half of conference play approaching. "I'm looking forward to playing Michigan in a good environment," Indiana coach Archie Miller told reporters. "Some guys got to step up and knock a couple down ... as we're not shooting the ball well right now."

TV: 6:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

ABOUT MICHIGAN (18-1, 7-1 Big Ten): Ignas Brazdeikis went 9-of-11 from the free throw line en route to a team-high 18 points and matched his career high with 11 rebounds in the win against Minnesota to post his second double-double after being held scoreless for the first time against Wisconsin. Jon Teske continues to be one of the most improved players in the conference as he added 15 points and five rebounds while Charles Matthews scored seven points, including the game-winning fadeaway as time expired. "I hoped I had gotten it off on time and thankfully I did," Matthews told reporters. "I was happy we won because it was a survival game after we'd lost one."

ABOUT INDIANA (12-7, 3-5): Juwan Morgan scored 18 points and pulled down 11 rebounds against Northwestern to register his seventh double-double of the season and the 16th of his career. Rob Phinisee added a career-high 13 points while fellow freshman Romeo Langford added 12 points and six rebounds against the Wildcats. Race Thompson has been cleared to play and could return Friday after sitting out the previous 17 games with a concussion while Devonte Green, who is averaging eight points and 3.2 assists this season, has been suspended indefinitely for "not meeting the standards expected of members of the program."

TIP-INS

1. Michigan has won the last five meetings by an average margin of 14 points.

2. The Hoosiers are 10-of-55 from 3-point range over their last three games.

3. The Wolverines have held eight of their last nine opponents to fewer than 65 points.

PREDICTION: Michigan 67, Indiana 64

Butler Bulldogs vs. Creighton Bluejays Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NCAAB Predictions 24th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/24/2019

Only one-half game separates third place from last in the 10-team Big East, but time is quickly running out for teams such as Creighton and Butler to make their move to rise above the logjam. The Bulldogs attempt to reach .500 in league action Friday when they visit the Bluejays in hopes to complete a regular-season sweep.

Butler began conference play by dropping three of four - its only victory coming in an 84-69 home win against Creighton on Jan. 5 - before defeating two of the five teams (DePaul and St. John's) it shares third place with at the moment. The Bulldogs were unable to improve their situation at home Tuesday, getting outscored 16-3 at the foul line en route to an 80-72 defeat to surging No. 18 Villanova. Creighton's loss to Butler was the first of four straight losses for the Bluejays - their longest such skid since the 1999-2000 season - before picking up a 91-87 road win at Georgetown on Monday. "They've come hungry, ready to practice. They're not pointing fingers at me, I'm not pointing fingers at them, they're not pointing fingers at each other. They're committed to just trying to get better every day. I think when you commit to that, you have nights like (Monday) where good things happen," coach Greg McDermott said during a postgame radio show.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

ABOUT BUTLER (12-8, 3-4 Big East): Sophomore guard Aaron Thompson (6.7 points, team-high 4.2 assists) bounced back from a scoreless, foul-plagued 16-minute effort Saturday against St. John's with club-best marks of 15 points (6-of-9 shooting) and four assists in 31 minutes versus the Wildcats. Kamar Baldwin ranks eighth in the league in scoring (17.4 points) and assists (3.9) but cooled off dramatically Tuesday, finishing with only 11 points on 5-for-14 shooting following a three-game stretch in which he averaged 21.7 points on 24-of-41 from the field. Joey Brunk averaged 14.7 points and seven boards over his first three career starts, but the 6-11 sophomore hasn't topped eight points or six rebounds in any of his four outings since.

ABOUT CREIGHTON (11-8, 2-4): Sophomore guard Ty-Shon Alexander (17.5 points) knocked down six 3-pointers for the second time in three contests Monday, extending his consecutive games streak with at least one triple to a Big East-best 23. Three of Davion Mintz's four best scoring efforts of the season have occurred over the last four games as the junior guard, who averages 10.3 points, has topped 16 three times over that span while committing a total of nine turnovers during conference play. Martin Krampelj (11.1 points, 6.3 rebounds) failed to score at least 10 points for the first time in nine outings at Georgetown but has collected at least eight rebounds in seven straight after reaching that mark only once in his first 12 tries.

TIP-INS

1. Butler has committed fewer than 10 turnovers six times and ranked 18th in the country at 10.8 through Wednesday's games.

2. The Bluejays were one of seven teams nationally making at least 40 percent of their 3-point attempts (43.1) and shoot at least 40 percent of their field-goal attempts beyond the arc (47.4 percent).

3. The Bulldogs have buried at least 11 3-pointers in three straight games and four times overall during Big East action, matching their number during non-conference play.

PREDICTION: Butler 81, Creighton 79

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#5 ELLIE BEAR (ML=4/1)
#7 TAILORED ENERGY (ML=12/1)

ELLIE BEAR - Have to make this filly a strong challenger; she comes off a strong effort on January 4th. Entered last at Charles Town in a race with a class number of 53. Dropping considerably in class rating this time puts her in a solid position in this race. I usually like playing sprinters who are 3-4 races into a comeback. TAILORED ENERGY - Ranked number one in earnings per race. Another indicator that this horse outclasses this field. I like to play horses that faced open company in their last race and drop into state bred races. This filly fits the bill. Lucas, the trainer, shows intent by adding Lasix in today's race. A positive sign.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 CHARITABLE ROSE (ML=2/1), #1 BRIGINTINE ISLAND (ML=7/2), #6 TEQUILA PROMISE (ML=9/2),

CHARITABLE ROSE - 2/1 is not worth it for any horse in a sprint of 6 1/2 furlongs that hasn't hit the board in a short distance clash lately. Didn't finish in the money on Nov 23rd at Charles Town. Followed it up with another less than stellar try. BRIGINTINE ISLAND - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple months in a short distance race to be worth the chance at minimal odds in a sprint. This filly hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last two efforts. TEQUILA PROMISE - Just can't bet on this racer. Didn't show me anything positive last time out or on Dec 15th. 9/2 is not pegged at the proper price for any thoroughbred in a sprint of 6 1/2 furlongs that hasn't finished in the money in a short distance race lately.

# 7 GHURAIR 5/2

# 2 MAS MISCHIEF 8/1

# 11 GUSTNADO 4/1

I favor GHURAIR here. Could best this group of animals based on the speed figure - 96 - of his last outing. Sound average speed figures in turf route races make this equine a contender. Strong jockey with handler figures make this horse a solid selection. MAS MISCHIEF - Has to be carefully examined - I like the numbers from the last race. Has to be given consideration here on the basis of the figures in the speed section alone. GUSTNADO - Have to look at solely on class, with some of the most competitive class figs of this group. Will probably go to the lead and should never look back.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#9 LYRICAL MIRACLE (ML=7/2)
#5 TEQUILA HERO (ML=4/1)

LYRICAL MIRACLE - Look for this gelding to show better in this field. Last event at Penn National finishing sixth on a track listed as good is no indication of his true ability. TEQUILA HERO - Was in a $4,000 Claiming race at Penn National last time around the track. That race had a class number of 85 and he is moving down in this race. A certain serious competitor. The return on investment when Whitney and Lake partner up is good. Three consecutive improved Equibase speed figs (52-58-76) make this horse a strong contender.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 CATTLE DRIVE (ML=3/1), #7 NICARADALIC ROCKS (ML=9/2), #4 BLUEGRASS POSSE (ML=6/1),

CATTLE DRIVE - I don't think this mount likes running on the inside, certainly not out of the number one post. NICARADALIC ROCKS - This gelding is always in the money, but just doesn't win. Difficult to play him on the front end. This horse hasn't been close at the finish line lately. Finished fourth in his most recent race with a most unsatisfactory speed fig. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to prove victorious after that in this field. BLUEGRASS POSSE - This gelding finished off the board on December 21st and wasn't close to victory last time out either.

Washington Wizards vs. Orlando Magic Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NBA Predictions 25th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/25/2019

After a promising homestand, the Washington Wizards will try to find some success on the road when they begin a three-game trip at the Orlando Magic on Friday. The Wizards were 4-2 on their stay at Capital One Arena with losses only to Toronto -- in double overtime -- and Golden State and now seek to improve on their 5-18 road mark.

Three Washington players scored at least 20 points in Thursday's 126-118 loss to the red-hot Warriors, leaving the Wizards a half-game ahead of the Magic for 10th place in the Eastern Conference. "Proud of our effort, but against this team, you can't make a mistake," Wizards coach Scott Brooks told reporters after his team was outrebounded 50-36. Orlando dropped the finale of a two-game road trip at Brooklyn on Wednesday to sink to 3-8 in its last 11 contests. Nikola Vucevic had 21 points and 14 rebounds but was whistled for an offensive goaltending call with 2.5 seconds left that prevented a tie game as the Magic fell to 14-14 against Eastern Conference opponents.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS Washington, FS Florida (Orlando) LINE: Magic -3.5

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (20-27): Trevor Ariza scored 27 points, Bradley Beal had 20 and Tomas Satoransky finished with 20 and 10 assists in the loss to the Warriors. Thomas Bryant posted his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort while shooting 6-for-7 from the floor, and the 21-year-old is also 6-for-7 from 3-point range over a seven-game span. Satoransky is also on a hot streak, averaging 14.7 points on 18-of-27 shooting over his last three contests.

ABOUT THE MAGIC (20-28): A bright spot in Wednesday's loss was the play of 21-year-old forward Jonathan Isaac, who scored 16 points -- matching his best total since Oct. 22 -- while making 4-of-7 3-pointers. "To me, I thought he was assertive, and he was really good at both ends of the floor," coach Steve Clifford told the media of Isaac. "That was one of the better games that he's played. He was really, really good." Isaac missed the first two matchups with the Wizards while Vucevic averaged 19 points and 12.5 rebounds.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Magic SG Terrence Ross is 5-for-26 from 3-point range over his last four games.

2. Beal is averaging 24 points, six rebounds and five assists against Orlando this season.

3. Magic PF Aaron Gordon scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds in Wednesday's loss after missing the previous two games due to a back injury.

PREDICTION: Magic 111, Wizards 109

Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NBA Predictions 24th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/24/2019

The Miami Heat are making some changes to the rotation in an effort to get back in the win column on a consistent basis and are still working out the kinks. The Heat will give their new starting lineup and shortened rotation another look when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

Miami dropped six of its last nine games to fall two games under .500 but is trying to pull itself out of the rut by tweaking the starting lineup - replacing Rodney McGruder with Tyler Johnson in the backcourt - and shortening the rotation to nine players. "The toughest part about it is I don't want anybody to view this as Rodney is any part of the reason for it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after debuting the new lineup in a 111-99 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. "Sometimes when I'm in this position, I just have to make decisions of what I think will be best for the team. Sometimes it's just a chemistry flow rhythm thing with a group. It's too early to tell whether this change will be good." The Cavaliers have gone through as many rotations as they can without changing the entire roster and still own the worst record in the NBA. Cleveland's latest slide reached five straight with a 123-103 loss at Boston on Wednesday and the five losses came by an average of 18.2 points.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Miami), FS Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE HEAT (22-24): McGruder went from the starting lineup to out of the rotation completely on Wednesday while veterans Dwyane Wade and Dion Waiters served as the guards off the bench. "We need to see. We've only had one game of it, so I don't know what we're going to do," Wade told reporters of the rotation change. "Obviously, there are guys who work hard to be on the court that are not out there, so it's tough. It's tough at this time to see teammates not getting an opportunity to play, but also you understand you want to get to a shorter rotation and be able to get some kind of rhythm and kind of continuity with groups, so we'll see." Johnson scored 15 points while starting in the backcourt but could find himself back on the bench soon with point guard Goran Dragic (knee) inching closer to a return.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (9-40): Cleveland's rebuilding season is offering a few bright spots, and Cedi Osman's development as a scorer is among them. Osman scored a career-high 25 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 6-of-7 from 3-point range, in Wednesday's loss while adding eight rebounds and a pair of assists. "I was feeling good today about my shots. I was just stepping into the shots always. I was staying away from the three-point line. When the ball was coming to me, I was just stepping towards the ball. I was just being confident with my three-point shots. I just have to keep working on it, keep being confident every game."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Heat C Hassan Whiteside scored 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting Wednesday after totaling 20 points in the previous three games.

2. Cavaliers C Ante Zizic is averaging 17.2 points on 60.7 percent shooting over the last five contests.

3. Miami took the first two meetings this season, including a 117-92 triumph at Cleveland on Jan. 2.

PREDICTION: Heat 109, Cavaliers 90

New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets Preview and Predictions 2019-01-25

NBA Predictions 24th January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/24/2019

The last time the two teams from New York City met, they both had 18 losses and were in a virtual tie at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. Much has changed in the roughly six weeks since the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets last tangled, and the red-hot Nets hope to keep their respective trends alive when they host the Knicks on Friday.

Brooklyn won at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 8 early on in its current 18-5 surge, which includes five consecutive wins overall and seven straight at home. "It's becoming routine and I think we have that belief that we can win more so than we have in my tenure here," Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie told reporters after Wednesday's 114-110 victory over the Orlando Magic. The loss to Brooklyn last month was early in New York's 2-20 slide, which includes Wednesday's 114-110 loss to the Houston Rockets, capping an 0-5 homestand. Coach David Fizdale was ejected as the Knicks allowed Rockets guard James Harden to go off for 61 points, tied for the most ever by a visiting player at Madison Square Garden.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), YES (Brooklyn)

ABOUT THE KNICKS (10-36): As New York shuffles its rotation in search of something that works, it has left veteran center Enes Kanter on the outs, first removing him from the starting lineup last month and then leaving him on the bench for the entirety of Wednesday's defeat. "I want to play basketball. We're all competitors. I want to play basketball," Kanter told reporters. "So just if you're going to play me here, play me. If not, then just get me out of here." The 26-year-old, who is averaging 14.4 points and 10.8 rebounds in his second season with the Knicks, had 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting and 14 boards in the last game against the Nets.

ABOUT THE NETS (26-23): Guard D'Angelo Russell recorded 25 points and 10 assists against the Magic and he's averaging 24.1 and 7.7 in January as he makes a push for his first career All-Star Game selection. Dinwiddie had 29 points in 30 minutes off the bench, making Wednesday the fourth game in which both he and Russell have reached the 20-point mark in the same game. "I see more as they are meshing. More and more every time," coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters of Russell and Dinwiddie. "I know advanced stuff says they don't play well together, but they're going to be in at the end of the game."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Nets SF Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (shoulder) left Wednesday's game and is day-to-day.

2. Knicks rookie SG Allonzo Trier scored a career-high 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting in the loss to the Rockets.

3. Brooklyn SF Rodions Kurucs is 28-for-44 from the floor over a five-game stretch.

PREDICTION: Nets 116, Knicks 106
