        DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento - Ques Fri

        Cousins is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sore ankle.


        Luol Deng, Miami - Out Fri

        Deng missed Tuesday's game with a sore calf and will not play Friday against the Mavericks.


        Davis questionable for Clippers game with injury

        New Orleans announced Thursday that All-Star power forward Anthony Davis (groin injury) is listed as questionable to play in Friday’s home game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Davis’ status will be evaluated tomorrow, including during the Pelicans’ morning shootaround at the Smoothie King Center.


        76ers horrid offense continues to cash the under

        The Philadelphia 76ers have an over/under record of 1-13 in their past 14 contests, thanks in large to their abysmal offense. Philly has averaged 87.8 points per game during that span, while only topping 90 points on five occasions.

        As of this writing, oddsmakers have the total for the Philadelphia-Minnesota matchup at 192.5.

            • Friday's Tip Sheet

              January 30, 2015

              Blazers at Hawks – 7:35 PM EST

              Atlanta looks to extend its winning streak to 18 games as the Hawks go for the season sweep of the Blazers. The last time these teams hooked up at the Moda Center earlier this month, the Hawks came away with a 115-107 victory as six-point underdogs, moving their winning streak at the time to four. Thirteen victories later, Atlanta tries to maintain the top spot in the Eastern Conference, but the Hawks have failed to cover the past two games against the Wolves and Nets as double-digit favorites. During this hot stretch, Atlanta has put together a remarkable 15-2 ATS run.

              The Blazers continue their three-game road trip, coming off a 99-94 defeat at Cleveland on Wednesday night, allowing Kyrie Irving to torch them for 55 points. Portland dropped to 2-6 SU/ATS the past eight contests, while losing each of its previous four games in the road underdog role at Cleveland, Phoenix, Memphis, and San Antonio. Terry Stotts’ team has won six of eight road games against Eastern Conference foes this season, but all six of those victories came against teams that are currently below .500.

              Rockets at Celtics – 7:35 PM EST

              The Celtics return home following a 3-3 road trip, but Boston managed to cover five times, all in the underdog role. The trip ended on a down note, falling at Minnesota as four-point road favorites on Wednesday, as the Wolves snapped a 10-game home losing streak with the win. Boston has struggled of late in the home underdog role, losing three of its past four, including double-digit defeats to Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. The points have piled up at TD Garden lately, as the Celtics are 6-2-1 to the ‘over’ in the past nine home contests.

              The Rockets will be without Dwight Howard once again tonight as the center sits out with an ankle injury. Houston has won the previous two games without the All-Star, knocking off the Lakers and Mavericks, while allowing an average of 90.5 points per game in the two victories. The Rockets beat the Mavs for the second time this season in spite of shooting just 40% from the floor to cash just their second ‘under’ in the past nine contests. Kevin McHale’s team goes for the sweep of the Celtics after the Rockets took care of Boston at the Toyota Center in November, 104-90.

              Clippers at Pelicans – 8:05 PM EST

              Los Angeles heads to the Big Easy tonight looking for its seventh straight victory, as the Clippers hope not to be caught in a look-ahead spot with a trip to San Antonio on Saturday. The Clips rallied to top the Jazz on Wednesday, 94-89 to pull off the four-game season sweep of Utah, but failed to cash as 6 ½-point road favorites. During this six-game winning streak, L.A. has beaten just one team that is currently above .500 (Phoenix), while posting a 2-5 ATS record in the past seven games overall.

              The Pelicans continue a six-game homestand that only gets more difficult. Following tonight’s contest, New Orleans welcomes in Atlanta on Monday, while Oklahoma City visits next Wednesday. The Pelicans will be looking for a better effort after getting tripped up by the Nuggets on Wednesday, 93-85 as six-point favorites. Anthony Davis is listed as questionable for tonight with a groin injury suffered against Denver, as New Orleans is currently on an 8-1 run to the ‘under,’ while limiting eight of its past nine opponents to below 100 points.

              Mavericks at Heat – 8:05 PM EST

              It’s a rematch of the 2010 NBA Finals, but several key pieces for Miami are missing tonight. Dwyane Wade will miss two to three weeks with a hamstring injury, while Luol Deng is sidelined with a calf injury. The Heat have struggled at home all season with an 8-14 record, but have managed a 4-2 ATS mark in its past six tries as a home underdog. Miami allowed at least 100 points for the first time in six games in Wednesday’s 109-102 setback to Milwaukee as short home favorites, the third loss to the Bucks this season. That high-scoring affair snapped an 11-game streak to the ‘under’ for Erik Spoelstra’s club, although eight of those ‘unders’ came on the road.

              Dallas is out for revenge after allowing Miami to hit 55% of its shots from the floor in a 105-96 home defeat to the Heat in November. Fifty of Miami’s 105 points came from Deng and Wade, so that missing offense will obviously benefit the Mavs tonight. Dallas will look to get things on track after losing each of its past four games, while scoring 98 points or less three times during this cold stretch. Since mid-December, the Mavs own a remarkable 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS record as a road favorite, as the only loss came this past Sunday at New Orleans.

              Bulls at Suns – 10:35 PM EST

              Chicago couldn’t capitalize off an overtime triumph at Golden State as 11-point underdogs on Tuesday, as the Bulls were tripped up by the Lakers last night in double-overtime. The Bulls erased a 15-point deficit to force overtime, but the Lakers shot 47% from the floor in a 123-118 upset as 9 ½-point underdogs. The six-game road trip goes on with a visit to the Valley, as the Bulls have won six of 10 away games against Western Conference opponents, which includes victories over the Clippers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Warriors.

              Phoenix almost let a 22-point lead slip through its hands on Wednesday, but the Suns held off the Wizards, 106-98 to snap a two-game home losing streak. The Suns limited a tired Washington team to 42% shooting from the floor, while holding an opponent to below 100 points for only the second time in the past 10 games. Surprisingly, the Suns have struggled against Eastern Conference teams at home this season, posting a 6-5 record, which includes loss to the Hornets, Magic, and Pistons. Phoenix has had its issues with Chicago over the past few seasons, losing six of the last seven meetings, while dropping the past five home matchups.

              • Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

                Six prop bets for Sunday, combining Super Bowl and NBA games.......

                -- Miami Heat points -31.5 over Rob Gronkowski receiving yards

                -- Boston Celtic points -15.5 over Marshawn Lynch rushing yards

                -- Russell Wilson passing yards -11.5 over Heat/Celtic combined points.

                -- Tom Brady completions -1.5 over Chris Bosh points.

                -- Lakers first half points -10.5 over Jermaine Kearse receiving yards

                -- Knicks first quarter points -1.5 over Patriots points for whole game.

                **********

                Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind......

                13) Green Bay Packers quietly fired its special teams coach, 12 days after they gave up a TD on a fake field goal and failed to recover an onside kick in Seattle.

                12) Raptors 127, Nets 122 OT-- Brooklyn went 0-7 at home in January; this was an unusual regular season NBA game. Jarrett Jack played the whole game except for a 47-second rest. Nets seemed genuinely crushed when they lost.

                11) NBA teams are 24-15-1 vs spread on last game of a 4+-game road trip.

                10) Seahawks covered ten of last eleven times they were an underdog.

                9) Buffalo 80, Kent State 55-- Bobby Hurley is the coach at Buffao because the AD at Buffalo is the son of the former Duke AD- they're brother/father of Michael White, the up-and-coming coach at Louisiana Tech.

                8) When I was in college 35 years ago, Buffalo was a D-III program that played in a horribly small gym; on February 22, 1980, while everyone else in America watched the US Olympic hockey team beat the Russians in the Miracle on Ice, I was in the Buffalo gym, watching our college team lose a conference tournament game in four overtimes to the Bulls. In all four OTs, the team that won the tap played for the last shot, thats show basketball was before the shot clock.

                7) So Bobby Hurley coaches Buffalo, he could very well be Coach K's replacement when that day comes, his brother coaches Rhode Island, Albany and Binghamton are also D-I when they had been D-III programs, and college seems like a long time ago, mostly because it was. Binghamton rarely even opened up both sides of its gym when we played there back then. Now they're D-I; go figure.

                6) In their five Super Bowls together, the Brady/Belichick Patriots have scored zero points in the first quarter. Zero. None. Bupkus.

                5) Golfer Jason Dufner lost a lot of weight, cut his cuirly hair short and I didn't come close to recognizing him on TV Friday. Hope he isn't sick.

                4) Hawks 105, Trailblazers 99-- Atlanta has now won 18 games in a row and 32 of its last 34, but no one talks about them. Why is that?

                3) Since 1991, this is the fifth Super Bowl where both #1 seeds faced each other; the NFC team won the first four.

                2) Derrick Rose has a 13-year, $185M deal with adidas, which is why he cares as much about playing for Team USA as he does for the Bulls.

                1) 15 years ago Friday the Rams beat Tennessee for their only Super Bowl title; 15 years later and Tennessee's coach that day is now the Rams' coach. Tonight,, they will announce who gets in the Hall of Fame this summer and I am hopeful that both Kurt Warner and Orlando Pace get in.

                WRs Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt will have to wait since there is a logjam of WRs who haven't gotten in yet. Warner and Pace? They deserve it.

                        Foot injury sidelines Grizzlies' Carter

                        Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Carter is expected to be out at least a week with an injured tendon in his left foot.

                        An MRI on the foot revealed the injury, which will be re-evaluated in a week, the Grizzlies announced Friday.

                        The 38-year-old Carter left the Grizzlies' 99-69 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night in the second quarter and did not return to the game.

                        Carter is averaging 6.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 44 games this season off the bench. He had scored in double figures in two of his three previous games before the injury.


                        76ers horrid offense continues to cash the under

                        The Philadelphia 76ers have an over/under record of 1-13 in their past 14 contests, thanks in large to their abysmal offense. Philly has averaged 87.8 points per game during that span, while only topping 90 points on five occasions.

                        As of this writing, oddsmakers have the total for the Philadelphia-Minnesota matchup at 192.5.
