    • Thursday's Essentials
      Tony Mejia

      Game of the Night - Dallas at L.A. Clippers (-3.5, 221.5), TNT, 10:35 ET

      DeAndre Jordan was coveted by the Mavericks (15-14 SU, 17-12 ATS) for years and finally jumped ship this offseason, ending the “Lob City” era in L.A. With Blake Griffin following Chris Paul out the door last season, Jordan became the final link over last season’s disappointing last few months, which ended in a 10th-place finish out West.

      After 10 seasons of service that featured an All-Star appearance in and an All-NBA First team nod, he’s quite deserving of the ovation he’ll receive tonight in his return to face the Clippers (17-13, 16-14) for the first time since signing with Dallas on a lucrative one-year deal.

      While neither team was expected to finish above .500 this season, both are currently in the mix in a loaded Western Conference over one-third of the way in, which makes this second meeting of the season all the more interesting.

      Jordan finished with 16 points and a season-best 23 rebounds in a 114-110 Mavs’ win the first time these teams met back on Dec. 2, so you count on him being plenty motivated to face Doc Rivers and his former teammates. He should be rested too, having fouled out in just 27 minutes trying to contain Denver’s Nikola Jokic in a 126-118 loss on Tuesday night.

      Between Marcin Gortat, Boban Marjanovic and Montrezl Harrell, Rivers will attempt to keep him busy and off the boards after watching him so positively impact the first matchup. Dallas managed to win without standout rookie Luka Doncic, who sat out his only game of the season with a hip strain. The Clippers will get their first look at him tonight as he comes off dishing out a career-best 12 assists in the loss in Denver.

      Over the past five games, the 19-year-old Slovenian prodigy has averaged 19 points, 7.6 rebounds and 8.4 assists. Dallas will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak and won’t know if starting guard Dennis Smith, Jr. will be able to play after missing six of the last seven games due to injury. He’s listed as questionable, a designation he shares with forward Maxi Kleber (toe), who also missed the first meeting between these teams to open the month.

      Harrison Barnes scored 30 points in the win over the Clips, shooting it 28 times with Doncic sitting. He matched that season-high in Tuesday’s loss to the Nuggets in a far more efficient 10-for-16 shooting night. Backup point guard J.J. Barea, back after being hobbled by an ankle sprain, scored a season-best 24 points off the bench to serve as the x-factor against the Clippers last time out and should again play a major role. Dirk Nowitzki has played in Dallas’ last three games since finally making his season debut.

      The Clippers have dropped six of seven games and are badly missing Lou Williams, who remains out with an injured hamstring. They’ll be looking for Tobias Harris and Danilo Gallinari to key an offense that finally got back on track in Tuesday’s 131-127 loss after being held to 104 or fewer points in the team’s previous five losses.


      Game of the Night II -- Houston at Miami (-3.5, 209.5), TNT, 8:05 ET

      The Rockets set an NBA record with 26 3-pointers to capture their fifth consecutive victory on Wednesday night, crushing the Wizards 136-118. Eight of the 10 players who attempted to knock a shot down from beyond the arc connected as the team nailed 47.3 percent of a staggering 55 attempts to run Washington out of Toyota Center.

      Houston (16-14, 13-16-1) is now looking to establish its longest winning streak of the season in Miami (13-16, 15-14), looking to capture a game on the second night of a back-to-back for the fourth time in six tries. The hope is to extend a run that has it back above .500 for the first time in a month and in the mix atop a Southwest Division where all five members are all closely stacked together, four of them within a half-game of one another entering tonight’s action.

      A Rockets team easily identified as this season’s most disappointing team given their slow start has really taken off. Carmelo Anthony didn’t fit, but played the scapegoat’s role early because he wasn’t the sole reason the team’s defensive efficiency went down the drain. Chris Paul is just now getting healthy again. Last season’s defensive coordinator, Jeff Bzdelik, who retired abruptly, was brought back after Thanksgiving.

      Suddenly, sole possession of first place in one of the NBA’s toughest divisions is in with the grasp of a team you would’ve been wrong to write off prematurely.

      Rockets star James Harden has been on a tear during this run, averaging 38.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists. In last week’s Thursday night win that extended the streak to two, he threw down a dunk on Lakers’ 7-footer JaVale McGee and then drained a 3-pointer while being fouled by Josh Hart to key the game-clinching final run. He screamed “I’m back” and snarled, flexing with intensity. It was strange to that he declared himself back to normal despite not missing a game since Nov. 2, but clearly, he felt something was off over the previous month-plus and has now rediscovered his rhythm.

      Harden hit a team-high six 3-pointers in the win over the Wizards, finishing with 35 points and nine assists. With small forward James Ennis nursing a hamstring injury, the Rockets have been starting former top sixth man Eric Gordon and have rediscovered their chemistry, though you should be wary of the minutes and usage piling up since P.J. Tucker has been nursing a back injury, Paul isn’t truly back and Ennis remains out. There’s no inkling that he won’t play, but this would only be Paul’s third complete back-to-back if he laces them up.

      The Heat will be without their normal starting point guard, Goran Dragic, for at least two months following knee surgery. He’s been in and out of the lineup, so this will be nothing new going forward as Tyler Johnson is likely to start and Dwyane Wade will help run the offense on the second unit. With shooting guard Josh Richardson taking more of a playmaker role, James Johnson being such a good passer and Justise Winslow improving, Miami has the personnel to overcome an injury to Dragic and still be a factor in the East playoff race. The Heat has displayed a tendency to disappear offensively, so we’ll see whether they’re able to keep up here.

      Miami’s 5-9 home record is tied for fifth-worst in the NBA, so we’ll see if the presence of Harden brings out the best in the Heat as it looks to avoid a third straight loss at the hands of the Rockets. Houston won 99-90 at home in January and won the most recent meeting in South Florida last season back in February, getting a 41-point night from Harden in a 109-101 win. Dragic and Richardson scored 30 points in the loss. Wade didn’t play.

      The Heat are looking for its first three-game winning streak of the season. The ‘under’ is 7-2 over Miami’s last nine games.

            Wednesday’s quiz
            John Adams was the second President of the United States.

            *****************************

            Friday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…..

            13) How about this idea for the NCAA basketball tournament?

            Committee picks the 68 teams, sets the two playoff games, and seeds the top 32 teams, but then there is a nationally-televised draft, where teams can choose who they play in the first round, essentially filing out half the first-round matchups in real time on national TV.

            12) It would work this way; the play-in games are set by the committee so those eight teams can get started on preparation, but say Kansas is the #1 national seed- they can choose any of the four #16-seeds to play in the first round.

            The #2 and #3 seeds would then choose which 16-seed they wanted to play, the #4 seed would get the last remaining #16 seed, then they move on to the #2-15 matchups. The #5-seed would have first choice of the #15 seeds to play, and so on…….

            It would create some more drama and a little transparency- I think people would watch in on TV, for sure.

            11) Duquesne +5.5 or +6 Wednesday night was one of worst beats in recent memory; with game tied and 0:05.4 left. Duquesne was called for a foul under the basket- Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot (Lebron James’ high school coach) lost his mind at the call, was given two technical fouls and Penn State made all six foul shots.

            Duquesne threw away the inbounds pass and that was that; weird thing about Dambrot going nuts was that Dukes were 29-32 on foul line for the game, Penn State 17-26, so not like he was getting the short end of the stick the whole game.

            10) Patriots’ WR Josh Gordon is stepping away from football to focus on his mental health; he had been averaging 65 receiving yards a game.

            9) Houston Rockets made 26-55 3-pointers in their 136-118 win over the Wizards Wednesday, setting an NBA record for most made 3’s in a game; they only took 30 2-point shots (19-30). James Harden scored 35 points in 34:00 for Houston, which won its fifth straight game.

            8) Carolina Panthers are shutting QB Cam Newton (shoulder) down for the last two games; Carolina lost its last six games, Taylor Heinicke is the Panthers’ new QB; he’s thrown five NFL passes in mop-up duty in six games, five this year and one for Houston LY.

            Heinicke played college ball at Old Dominion; this is his first NFL start.

            Panthers have won six divisional titles in their 24-year history, but they’ve never had two winning seasons in a row.

            7) There were 66 touchdowns scored in Week 15’s NFL games, nine less TD’s than in any other week this season.

            In weeks 1-12 this season, NFL teams averaged 23.0 ppg.
            In weeks 13-15 this year, NFL teams averaged 19.7 ppg.

            6) New Jersey Giants’ combined record the last five years: 31-48, 0-1 in playoff games; they seem intent on moving forward with QB Eli Manning, who turns 38 on January 3rd.

            Manning helped the Giants win two Super Bowls, going on 4-0 playoff runs in both ’07 and ’11, but 2011 was seven years ago; he has a career playoff record of 8-4.

            Giants have had three head coaches the last four years, but never changed QB’s; interesting decision they have here; if I was them, I’d move on to a younger QB, but thats me— this will be interesting to follow next summer/fall.

            5) Favorites won the first seven bowl games this month, going 6-1 vs spread.

            4) Dallas Cowboys have scored TD’s only 47.6% of time when they had 1st-and-goal this year, the only NFL team with a %age under 50%.

            Giants (52.4%), 49ers (54.5%) have next worst marks. Carolina (88.5%), Denver (86.4%) have the best TD percentage on 1st-and-goal series.

            3) Newly-signed Mets’ catcher, the oft-injured Wilson Ramos gets a $500,000 bonus next season if he catches 100+ games. He’s caught 100+ games in three of nine MLB seasons.

            2) Angels gave Matt Harvey $14M, Trevor Cahill $9.5M to pitch for them next season.

            1) People on Twitter are crazy; someone was bashing Drew Brees the other day; now chances are the guy lost his fantasy league playoff game or lost his bet on the Saints or the over, but bashing Brees is pretty bleepin’ stupid- his team won that game and is 13-1. Grow up!!!

                    • Friday's Tip Sheet
                      Kevin Rogers

                      Game of the Night: Pelicans at Lakers – 10:35 PM EST

                      Will Anthony Davis join LeBron James in the Purple and Gold next season? Anything is possible in the NBA as James could certainly use another superstar next to him in Los Angeles. The two stars will meet up for the first time this season when the Pelicans continue a four-game road trip.

                      New Orleans (15-17 SU, 15-17 ATS) alternated wins and losses in 11 consecutive games from November 26 through December 16, capped off by a home defeat to Miami. However, that funky streak came to an end in Wednesday’s 123-116 setback at Milwaukee, but the Pelicans managed to cover as nine-point underdogs to at least keep a 12-game streak alive of alternating ATS wins and losses. Davis suffered ankle injury in the defeat, but scored 27 points and pulled down 11 rebounds and is expected to play tonight.

                      The Lakers (18-13, 12-18-1 ATS) return home from a dreadful 1-3 road trip with the only victory coming last Saturday at Charlotte by 28 points. In the other three losses to Houston, Washington, and Brooklyn, the Lakers allowed at least 115 points in each defeat, while Los Angeles owns a 2-5 ATS record in the past seven games.

                      Last season (granted pre-LeBron), the Lakers lost all three meetings with the Pelicans, including a 119-112 setback at Staples Center last October. The Lakers are currently on a 10-2 UNDER streak at home since October, while the Pelicans have hit the UNDER in eight of the past 11 games overall.

                      Color of Money

                      The Bucks and Celtics played an exciting seven-game series in the opening round of the playoffs last season that ended with Boston finishing off Milwaukee at TD Garden. These two Eastern Conference powers meet for the second time this season as the Celtics edged the Bucks on November 1 in Beantown, 117-113 as 2 ½-point favorites, marking the 10th consecutive win by the home team since December 2017.

                      Milwaukee (21-9 SU, 15-13-2 ATS) is riding a three-game winning streak since losing at Indiana on December 12, as the Bucks held off the Pelicans on Wednesday, 123-115. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 25 points, while Milwaukee shot 50% from the floor to improve to 14-3 at Fiserv Forum. However, the Bucks would like to fix their road mark, which sits at 7-6, although they have won three of their past four on the highway.

                      The Celtics (18-12 SU, 15-15 ATS) were rolling along by winning eight straight games prior to losing at Detroit last Saturday. It looked like a one-game hiccup as Boston jumped out to a 37-26 lead over Phoenix on Wednesday after one quarter. However, the surging Suns rallied to shock the Celtics, 111-103 to cash as 11 ½-point underdogs, while limiting Boston to 41 second half points. The loss also snapped a four-game home winning streak, as the Celtics last fell to the Bucks at TD Garden in the second game of last season.

                      Net Gains

                      Who’s the hottest team in the NBA right now? You guessed it correctly, it’s the Nets (15-18 SU, 18-15 ATS), who are coming off their seventh consecutive victory on Wednesday by edging the Bulls, 96-93. What’s even more interesting about Brooklyn’s recent success is the two losses prior to this hot streak each came by two points apiece to Cleveland and Oklahoma City, while blowing a 20-point lead to the Thunder. The Nets have covered eight consecutive games, while cashing in 13 of 15 victories this season.

                      Brooklyn welcomes in Indiana to Barclays Center, as the Pacers (20-12 SU, 17-15 ATS) should be motivated tonight after dropping a pair of games on a back-to-back set to the Knicks and Raptors. After losing to New York at the buzzer on Tuesday, Indiana fell apart in the fourth quarter at Toronto by getting outscored, 24-11 in a 99-96 defeat. In spite of the loss, the Pacers continued a remarkable UNDER streak that reached 12 games, while Indiana looks to extend its winning streak against Brooklyn to nine.

                      Middle of the Road

                      The Pistons and Hornets are each hovering around the .500 mark as the two Eastern Conference squads meet for the second time in less than 10 days. Charlotte (15-15 SU, 16-14 ATS) rallied from an 11-point fourth quarter deficit to edge Detroit (15-14 SU, 15-13-1 ATS) as 5 ½-point favorites, 108-107. Both teams held double-digit leads in the game, but the Hornets came through in the end for their second victory over the Pistons this season.

                      The Hornets wrap up a five-game homestand that began with the one-point triumph over Detroit, but Charlotte lost back-to-back contests to the Lakers and Knicks. Charlotte rebounded with another rally to knock off Cleveland on Wednesday, 110-99, but the Hornets failed to cash as 13-point favorites to fall to 0-4 ATS the last four games.

                      The Pistons began December by shocking the Warriors, but fell apart by losing seven of the next eight games. Detroit rebounded by beating Minnesota in overtime on Wednesday, 129-123 as 5 ½-point underdogs, paced by Blake Griffin’s 34 points and Reggie Bullock’s 33 points, while overcoming a 14-point fourth quarter deficit.

                      We Finally Made It

                      It took until nearly Christmas, but the Kings (16-15 SU, 19-12 ATS) are finally listed as a home favorite for the first time this season. Sacramento has laid points on the road four times, but will be chalk at Golden 1 Center against Memphis (16-15 SU, 16-15 ATS), who has lost four consecutive games after falling at Portland on Wednesday, 99-92.

                      Sacramento has dropped two in a row since Sunday’s victory at Dallas as the Kings lost by double-digit at home to the Thunder, 132-113. Buddy Hield drilled seven three-pointers to score 37 points for the Kings, as Sacramento hit the OVER for the fifth consecutive game. Although the Kings failed to cover in the last two games, Sacramento owns a 3-0 ATS mark off back-to-back ATS losses. These two teams have split their first two meetings this season with the home team winning each time.

                        • By: Monique Vág



                          Not taking many attempts

                          The Pistons have done a great job defending opposing power forwards, allowing only 17.9 points per game on 43.4 percent shooting. Charlotte's Marvin Williams has seen his field goal attempts dip over the past two seasons to only 7.8 a game, and his minutes decrease as well, playing an average of 26.1 a contest. Over the past ten games he has had two scoreless games playing at least 10 minutes. Look for the Pistons to keep him and the Hornets contained and take Under his point total.


                          Backing the better team

                          The Nets have won seven straight and have done so against some quality teams. Today, they take on the Pacers who have also gone on a nice little run themselves, winning seven of their last 10, and have historically gotten the better of the Nets.

                          In the head-to-head, the Pacers have won five straight matchups between these two and have posted a 13-5 ATS record playing in Brooklyn and are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings overall. Indiana has been efficient on the road this season winning nine of 16 road games and find themselves in a very winnable spot as 3-point favorites away from home.


                          Key offensive weapon

                          The Bulls' Lauri Markkanen had a season low shot attempts last game versus the Nets with only six. For a player attempting an average of 14.1 a game, he needs to get much more involved and force up more attempts, especially with the slew of injuries to the Bulls. Chicago will be without Zach LaVine and Bobby Portis Friday against the Magic, and have Cameron Payne and Jabari Parker listed as questionable.

                          With the Magic surrendering 21.1 points on 47.6 percent shooting, and 11 rebounds to opposing power forwards, expect Markkanen to take advantage of a favorable matchup and find success offensively. Take Over his points, rebounds, assist total.


                          Relying on the long ball

                          The Bucks' enter today's contest versust he Celtics relatively healthy with only reserve Ersan Ilyasova out. Boston has been less fortunate staying healthy recently and will be without two centers in Al Horford and Aron Baynes. To make matters worse, the Celtics might also be without Marcus Morris who is listed as questionable for the matchup.

                          The Celtics average 13.3 3-point shots made per game. Opponents have been successful hitting the long ball versus the Bucks who allow opponents to shoot 36 percent from beyond the arc. With the Celtics' Kyrie Irving hitting at least four 3-point shots in three of his most recent four games, look for him to continue to find success from deep and back Over his made 3-point shots.


                          Making it three straight

                          The Trail Blazers have struggled defensively surrendering an average of 113.7 points per game on 59.6 percent shooting over their most recent three games. Today, they take on the Jazz who have really struggled putting points on the board this year averaging only 106.5 per contest. But, they should be feeling good coming off a 108-103 victory versus the Warriors.

                          Look for Utah's Jae Crowder to have success inside as the Blazers surrender 23 points on 47.7 percent shooting, and 11.4 rebounds to opposing power forwards. With Crowder coming off two straight double-doubles, look for him to make it three in a row and back Over his points, rebounds and assists total.

                              TORONTO (AP) Kawhi Leonard matched his season high with 37 points, helping the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 126-110 on Friday night.

                              OG Anunoby equaled his career high with 21 points as the Raptors improved their NBA-leading record to 25-9. Pascal Siakam had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Fred VanVleet scored 14 points.

                              The short-handed Raptors won their second straight despite injuries to three starters. Guard Kyle Lowry missed his fourth straight game because of a sore left thigh, and center Serge Ibaka was sidelined by a sore right knee for the second straight game. Guard Danny Green was shelved by a sore left knee after starting Toronto's first 33 games.

                              Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points for Cleveland, and Larry Nance Jr. had 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Cavaliers lost for the fourth time in five games.
