Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

— Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan has missed only six games the last six years.

— Orlando’s Elfrid Payton’s hair gets in the way when he shoots foul shots; seriously. His hands actually make contact with his hair- it is weird.

— Walt Frazier turned 72 years old this week, which makes me feel old.

— TCU 88, Georgia Tech 56— Horned Frogs win NIT title.

— Cardinals signed catcher Yadier Molina to a 3-year contract extension. Since 2011, Cardinals are 458-322 (.587) when Molina starts, 93-99 (.484) when he does not.

— Saints signed backup QB Chase Daniel, who has thrown 78 passes in seven years in the NFL, starting two games (1-1).

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Baseball knowledge on the last day of March……

13) Atlanta Braves open a new stadium this season, baseball’s first new stadium since Miami Marlins opened their ballpark in 2012.

12) Joey Votto’s career on-base percentage is an astoundingly-good .425.

11) Detroit Tigers had a $198M payroll last year, but went 87-75 and missed the playoffs. Now their beloved owner has passed away- will they downsize their payroll?

10) Dodgers haven’t won a World Series since 1988 (we don’t talk about that one in my house) but they’ve been in playoffs ten times since then, going 23-37 in playoff games.

9) Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen was once a catcher who played for The Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. Becoming a pitcher has worked out really well for him and the Dodgers.

8) Last time the Red Sox finished in first place in consecutive seasons: 1915-16. Really.

7) Orioles have a new pitching coach; Roger McDowell, who was Atlanta’s pitching coach the last eleven years. Can’t be lot of fun being a pitching coach for a team with a small stadium; your guys give up more home runs.

6) Speaking of which, Baltimore hit the most homers in the major leagues LY, but were only #12 in runs scored, #21 in on-base %age.

5) Indians skipper Terry Francona has had a winning record 12 years in a row, making playoffs seven times, winning World Series twice. Good to see an easy-going guy have great success.

4) Is batting average overrated? (Yes) Kansas City slipped from 95-67 to 81-81 LY- they were #7 in batting average, but #26 in on-base% and #23 in runs scored.

3) Texas Rangers had 49 come-from-behind wins LY, eight of which came when they trailed after the 8th inning. Ranger relievers had 41 wins LY, tied for the most ever.

2) This is crazy; Ryan Raburn has 352 RBI in his 11-year major league career. 82 of them have come against the White Sox. His next highest vs any team? 25 against the Royals and Rangers.

1— The Curse of Cespedes lives: A’s were 66-41 when they traded Yoenis Cespedes to Boston on July 31, 2014. Since that fateful day, Oakland is 159-220- they still made the playoffs in 2014, but have been awful the last two years. The costly Josh Donaldson trade didn’t help, either.

Friday’s NBA Game of the Day: Rockets at Warriors
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Curry has drained 289 3-pointers this season, surpassing his 286 in 2014-15 as the second-most in NBA history but well behind the record 402 he knocked down last season.

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors (-8, 230)

The Golden State Warriors are the NBA's hottest team with nine consecutive victories and are on the verge of getting All-Star forward Kevin Durant back from a knee injury. Golden State has thrived without the sharpshooter and has opened up a 3 1/2-game lead over second-place San Antonio in the Western Conference with just seven games remaining as it enters Friday's home contest against the Houston Rockets.

Durant has missed the last 15 games but has picked up his training and it appears he will return to the team prior to the start of the playoffs. "It would be nice for him to get a couple games in before the end of the regular season," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters, "but everything is going to be based on his health and how he goes along." Houston opened a three-game road trip with a 117-107 loss to Portland on Thursday but still possesses a solid five-game lead over Utah as it closes in on clinching the No. 3 seed in the West. "I think mentally you can tell, sometimes on the defensive end we just have our ups and downs, and there's not an urgency in what we're doing," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters after the defeat.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, ROOT (Houston), CSN Bay Area (Golden State)

LINE HISTORY: The Warriors opened as 7.5-point home chalk over the Rockets and that line has been bet up half-point to an even 8. The total hit the betting board at 231 and has been faded a full point to 230.

INJURY REPORT:

Rockets - PF Montreal Harrell (Probable, personal), PF Ryan Anderson (Mid April, ankle)

Warriors - SF James Michael McAdoo (Questionable, head), SF Kevon Looney (Doubtful, hip), SF Kevin Durant (Mid April, knee)

POWER RANKINGS: Rockets (-9.4) - Warriors (-15) + home court (-3) = Warriors -8.6

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (51-24 SU, 42-33 ATS, 38-36-1 O/U): All-Star point guard James Harden is dealing with an ailing wrist and is just 16-of-50 shooting with 12 turnovers over his last two games. Harden has struggled in three meetings with the Warriors this season, shooting 33.9 percent - including 3-of-25 from 3-point range - and committing 6.7 turnovers per game while averaging 23.3 points. D'Antoni has long lived and died with 3-point attempts, and Houston drained eight in the loss to Portland to raise its season total to 1,083 - surpassing the NBA-record 1,077 Golden State made last season.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (61-14 SU, 35-38-2 ATS, 28-47 O/U): All-Star point guard Stephen Curry has been stellar with 14 20-point efforts in his last 15 games - including 32 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in Tuesday's 113-106 road victory over the Rockets. Curry has drained 289 3-pointers this season, surpassing his 286 in 2014-15 as the second-most in NBA history but well behind the record 402 he knocked down last season. Kerr said he plans to manage his players' minutes closely over the final seven games, and travel also will be minimal with Golden State home for six of those contests.

* Rockets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Warriors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.
