Friday's Essentials

Game of the Night - Denver at Golden State (-9, 219), 10:35 ET, ESPN

The Warriors are being doubted again.

We’ll see if they actually care considering it is still the regular season, but squaring off against the team that remains their top competition for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference should bring out the best in them. Golden State opens the night one game up on the Nuggets for the best record in the West and all the spoils that come with that, so we’ll see whether it has the goods to buckle down and take a two-game lead on the team closest to them in the standings.

By now, they’ve heard all the noise. Kevin Durant, who must decide whether to continue with the Warriors as they move to San Francisco or leave for another destination, has shot 5-for-24 from 3-point range over the last three games. The 18 points he scored in Tuesday’s blowout loss to Boston was his fourth-lowest scoring output of the season and lowest-scoring performance in a loss.

He’ll have redemption in mind. DeMarcus Cousins’ defensive shortcomings have been another reason the Warriors have struggled, so his matchup with All-Star Nikola Jokic will be one all eyes will be fixated upon.

Klay Thompson is returning from a two-game absence from knee soreness, so missing one of their five All-Star starters won’t be an excuse. While there are a lot of people tripping over themselves to pick someone else to come out of the West or anoint an East contender the favorite, there’s also a great chance Golden State is simply bored. The regular season still has over a month remaining and a team that has bent over backwards to get Cousins acclimated and ensure he’s in playing shape still has the best record in the league’s most loaded conference.

To write off the Warriors as some sort of washed-up group that Is suddenly vulnerable is the stupidest thing I’ve seen this year. Mind you, we’re only in March, but I have a feeling that I’ll continue feeling this way come December whether Durant is playing in New York alongside Kyrie Irving or with the Warriors as the face of the franchise as the team moves to San Francisco. Golden State remains the heavy betting favorite to win the NBA title later this month and should continue in that role the rest of the way despite all the nonsense currently being spouted by people who should know better.

No, Golden State hasn’t been sharp of late. Yes, they’re still the team that viewed the Nuggets as a viable threat on Jan. 15 and decided to send a message their way by posting a 142-111 rout in Denver. They ensured Nikola Jokic couldn’t feel comfortable by operating at 100 miles per hour and utilizing pace to ensure the Nuggets couldn’t slow the game and get comfortable in the halfcourt.

There’s no question that the Warriors are in better position to pull off an upset this time around, so it will be even more telling if Golden State is able to prove once again that it has bigger fish to fry. For anyone looking to take the points with the Nuggets tonight, the desire to prove that point has to be the motivation. With Will Barton and Paul Millsap back and playing at high level, Isaiah Thomas slowly playing his way into shape with the second unit and a team that legitimately goes 10-deep taking aim at some revenge, there is reason to think they’ll be able to rebound.

There’s also reason to think that the Warriors are simply a bad matchup for the Nuggets and should be avoided at all costs. We’ll see how the presence of Cousins affect things since he’ll be a larger part of the equation here, but Golden State utilized its team speed to blitz Denver in the most recent meeting between the teams and could employ the same approach.

Golden State is 1-9 ATS over its last 10 games and is averaging just 105.4 points on Friday games, which may be another reason you may want to fade the defending champs. They’re last in the NBA with a 25-38-1 against the spread and are just 6-13 ATS after a loss and 11-20-1 ATS at Oracle.

The Nuggets are just 13-18 ATS on the road and haven’t been great outside of Denver, so be wary of that as they face a Golden State that tops the NBA in scoring with 118.2 points per game. With Thompson, Shaun Livingston and Kevon Looney all available, it’s clear the Warriors are looking to send a message in this one. The Nugs are relatively healthy too, missing only power forward Trey Lyles.

Trending towards the Over

The Wizards travel to Charlotte to take on the Hornets as 4.5-point underdogs. The game total projects to be a shootout with a total set at 233.5, thanks in large part to the Wizards’ 114.3 points per game, good for sixth in the NBA.

The Over has hit in eight of Washington’s last nine road games, and six of the last eight overall for Charlotte. When these two teams meet up, the Over has hit in six of the last seven, with the average score in the most recent two games 124.5-120 in favor of Charlotte. Back the game total Over 233.5.


Scoring comes smooth vs Jazz

Mike Conley is coming off a big 40-point shooting night versus Oklahoma City, where he made six-of-seven from beyond the arc. Conley is on fire from deep, and that bodes well facing off today against a Utah team where opponents are shooting just shy of 36 percent from downtown.

In their prior three meetings this season, Conley logged 23, 28, and 24 points, and should be in for another good shooting night versus a Jazz defense surrendering 23.3 points per game to opposing point guards. Back Over his point total of 20.5.


Paint by numbers

The 76ers travel to Houston to take on the Rockets having won only two of their most recent eight games in the head-to-head meetings. The Sixers might have a difficult time once again versus the Rockets with Joel Embiid out for the eighth straight game.

With the 76ers already struggling versus opposing centers allowing 23.8 points on 53.7 percent shooting, while giving up 13.9 rebounds, look for Houston’s Clint Capela to find success inside without Embiid in the lineup. Take Over his points, rebounds, assists total of 28.5.


Double-doubles to go

The Thunder travel to the Los Angeles to take on the Clippers, fresh off a big upset victory last night in Portland. Oklahoma City has won seven of the last 10 in the head-to-head versus the Clippers.

The Clippers have struggled defending opposing centers allowing 25.9 points on 54.5 percent shooting, and 16.8 rebounds. This bodes well for Steven Adams who has recorded eight straight double-digit scoring games, and a double-double in five contests throughout that stretch. Take Over his points, rebounds, assists total of 24.5.


High scoring half by the Bay

Both the Warriors and Nuggets rank in the top 10 in first half points per game with Golden State averaging 59.9, while Denver is at 57.9 and is coming off putting up 66 early versus the Lakers.

In their most recent meeting in the head-to-head, the Warriors put up 79 first half points, and surrendered 60 on the road at Denver. Although numbers like that are unlikely this time around, the first half Over is a good play as both offenses are shooting at a decent rate, with Golden State at a 48.8 clip, while Denver shoots 46.8 percent from the floor. Back the first half Over 120.

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

13) LSU suspended basketball coach Will Wade indefinitely, after he was caught on an FBI wiretap discussing payments to a recruit’s family. LSU is 25-5 this season 15-2 in the SEC.

In a somewhat related event, Creighton assistant coach Preston Murphy has been placed on administrative leave by that school.

12) We mentioned the other day about the Ravens releasing Eric Weddle; well he wasn’t a free agent for long. Weddle signed with the Los Angeles Rams on Friday, which is good news!!!

11) Dodger manager Dave Roberts said pitcher Joe Kelly told him he hurt his back while standing too long while cooking Cajun food.

Football players resent that baseball guys have guaranteed money; they play thru separated shoulders and fairly severe injuries, while a pitcher gets hurt because he stood up for too long.

10) Maryland senior Ivan Bender is from Europe; he used his Senior Night introduction as an opportunity to propose to his girlfriend at center court. Luckily for everyone, she said yes.

9) The new Arena Football team in Atlantic City will be called the Blackjacks.

8) New Jersey Giants traded DE Olivier Vernon and a 4th-round pick to Cleveland for G Kevin Zeitler and a 5th-round pick.

7) From Monday-Thursday this week, under was 19-6 in NBA games.

6) In the AAF, San Diego Fleet lost QB Philip Nelson for a month (broken clavicle).

5) There was a film clip on Twitter this week of a Texas-Hawai’i football game in 1995, the first game Kirk Herbstreit worked on ESPN- he was the sideline reporter.

— Referee for that game was Mike Pereira, who is now FOX’s instant replay guru.
— It was the first game at Texas for RB Ricky Williams, who went on to be a big star there.
— Play-by-play guy was DeWayne Staats, who now does Tampa Bay Rays games on TV; the analyst was former Raiders’ TE Todd Christensen.

4) Kansas City Chiefs proposed a rule change this week that would give both teams at least one possession in overtime.

3) Question to discuss for NFL fans: If your team needed a QB, would you rather they traded for Case Keenum or Josh Rosen?

2) Remember to push your clocks ahead an hour tonight; we “spring” ahead, “fall” back.

1) Writer on ESPN.com did an article about how the Albany Great Danes basketball team has recruited a lot of Australian players. Here is how the guy described my hometown:

“Albany, New York; a small, riverside city located 220 kilometres north of New York City with a population of roughly 100,000 people. Not too much goes on here…..”

Made me laugh, thats all.

Inside the Paint - Saturday
Chris David

After watching the underdogs dominate the first two weeks after the All-Star break, we’re finally starting to see favorites connect at the betting counter. Last night, the ‘chalk’ went 8-1 straight up and 6-3 against the spread. Since Wednesday, favorites have gone 13-7-1 versus the number but underdogs still own a 68-49-2 ATS mark in the second-half of the season.

Total bettors following the day-to-day numbers have seen a steady ‘under’ run since Monday with the low side going 24-10. Plenty of those games have gotten squeezed with some stale fourth quarters but that’s what the new-look NBA provides.

Saturday’s card has six games and while the Celtics and Lakers are going to be featured on national television, the drama surrounding Boston and the demise of LeBron James in Los Angeles has made this contest an afterthought.

Let’s handicap the slate.

Sacramento (32-32 SU, 37-25-2 ATS) at New York (13-52 SU, 28-35-2 ATS)

This afternoon matinee (12:00 p.m. ET) from Madison Square Garden looks like a ‘pass’ game and it’s a terrible scheduling spot for New York. The Knicks return home after playing three games on the West Coast for one, then head back on the road tomorrow for three more. This is also a quick rematch as Sacramento just defeated New York 111-106 last Monday at home but failed to cover as an 11-point favorite. The line has been cut in half for the Kings (-5) and while the crowd may be sparse, I’d lean to Sacramento in this spot. The Kings are technically still alive in the playoff race and they’ve been very good as road favorites (5-1 SU, 5-1 ATS) this season.

Brooklyn (34-33 SU, 36-31 ATS) at Atlanta (22-44 SU, 31-35 ATS)

Another game where laying the points with the visitor makes sense. Brooklyn has gone 4-0 both SU and ATS as a road favorite this season. Atlanta hasn’t been great at home (11-20 SU, 11-20 ATS) and the point-spread rarely plays into the betting equation for the Hawks at State Farm Arena. The Nets have won four straight and seven of their last eight encounters against the Hawks and that includes a pair of wins (116-100, 144-127) this season at home by double digits. The total is hovering around 235 and while it seems high, Atlanta is averaging 127.6 points per game in its last five at home since the All-Star break.

Washington (27-38 SU, 30-35 ATS) at Minnesota (30-35 SU, 33-32 ATS)

Another quick rematch game here as the Wizards diced up the Timberwolves 135-121 last Sunday as one-point home favorites. The ‘over’ (240 ½) connected easily and another shootout is expected tonight with the total opening 243. I was surprised to see the T-Wolves laying seven points considering the Wizards have been competitive in their last five games (3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS). They did lose a close call at Charlotte (112-111) last night but an 8-3 record both SU and ATS on no rest this season could have you buying the underdog. Minnesota won’t be headed to the playoffs but it has showed up at home recently, winning and covering four straight games at the Target Center and the offense (123.5 PPG) has shined during this run.

Boston (40-26 SU, 32-32-2 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (30-35 SU, 25-38-2 ATS)

As mentioned above, the Lakers are a complete mess and the league will feel the LeBron affect with their playoff ratings. For bettors, we cheer for numbers not names and I’m not sure I can justify a lean on Los Angeles these days based on their defense, lack of shooting and now a possible minute restriction for James. Plus, they’ve been the worst ATS team for bettors this season.

Boston point guard Kyrie Irving (thigh) is expected to play and this is a revenge game for the Celtics, who dropped a 129-128 decision at home to the Lakers on Feb. 7 as nine-point favorites. No overnight line was sent out but Boston will be favored by a fair amount and its won four of five in this role.

Charlotte (30-35 SU, 29-34-2 ATS) at Milwaukee (49-16 SU, 38-25-2 ATS)

Tough spot for Charlotte, who opened as a heavy 13 ½-point road underdog to Milwaukee. The Hornets defeated the Wizards 112-111 at home last night and continue to hang on for their playoff lives. Unfortunately for the club, they’ve struggled to a 4-7 SU and 5-8 ATS mark on no rest this season and in their last three away games when facing back-to-back spots, the offense has struggled to break 100 points and the ‘under’ easily connected in those games.

If you can’t bust the century mark against the Bucks, then you’re going to be in some serious trouble. Milwaukee snapped a two-game skid on Thursday with a 117-98 win over Indiana as a 10-point home favorite. Including that win, the Bucks have now won 36 of their 49 games this season by 10 points so laying big numbers shouldn’t necessarily push you away.

Early money on Charlotte has moved the line down (12 ½) and for what it’s worth, the Hornets are 3-0 ATS versus the Bucks this season despite dropping two of three games straight up. In their most recent meeting, Milwaukee captured a 108-99 win at home on Jan. 25 but Charlotte cashed an 11-point road ‘dog.

I’m not sure if it will matter but routines could be screwed up for this game as Marquette is playing Georgetown earlier in the day (2:30 p.m. ET) at the Fiserv Forum. The Bucks rarely tip this late (9:05 p.m. ET) but certainly something to keep an eye on.

Phoenix (15-51 SU, 29-37 ATS) at Portland (39-26 SU, 37-28 ATS)

The late-night “Favorite-Over” combo will be pressed into action for this game as the Trail Blazers (-12 ½) welcome the Suns for an expected run ‘n shoot matchup. Portland is coming off a rare home loss this past Thursday, a 129-121 setback to Oklahoma City in overtime. Prior to that result, the Blazers had won 10 of its last 12 at the Moda Center and they covered nine of those wins. The ‘over’ streak was pushed to eight straight at home for Portland although Thursday’s result was helped with the extra session.

As a double-digit home favorite this season, Portland has gone 4-0 SU but 2-2 ATS. One of those wins and covers came against Phoenix on Dec. 6 as the Blazers rolled the Suns 108-86 as 12 ½-point favorites.

After losing its first two games after the All-Star break to the Cavaliers and Hawks, most believed that the club was just playing out the string and getting ready to root for ping pong balls in the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery. However, the team of youngsters has won and covered four of its last five games. Monday’s 114-105 rally past Milwaukee as a 13 ½-point home underdog was their signature victory of the season and the team avoided the letdown two nights later against New York (107-96) at home.

Including the aforementioned result in December, the Blazers have won nine straight games in this series and they’ve gone 5-4 ATS during this run. For bettors looking for the correlated parlay to close out the night, the Blazers-Over combo has only connected twice during this span.

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

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

13) 12pm-2:00
— Auburn 87, Tennessee 83— Tigers were +8 in turnovers (13-5).
— Seton Hall 79, Villanova 75— Pirates’ bench outscored Villanova’s 17-0.

11) 4-6:00
— Georgetown 86, Marquette 84— Golden Eagles head to NYC on a 4-game skid.
— Virginia 73, Louisville 68— Cavaliers are the #1 seed in ACC tournament.
— Oregon State 85, Washington State 77— Beavers finish 10-8 in Pac-12, their best record in conference play since 1990.

10) 6-8:00

— Arizona State 72, Arizona 64— Sun Devils swept Arizona, won five of last six overall.

— Murray State 77, Belmont 65— Racers win OVC title; will both teams get in NCAA’s?
— Western Illinois 79, South Dakota State 76— #1-seed goes down in Summit League. Jackrabbits won their two regular season games with WIU by total of 62 points.

8) 10pm-midnight
— Nevada 81, San Diego State 53— Big Senior Night for team with five 5th-year senior starters. Not the guttiest of efforts by the Aztecs.
— Pepperdine 89, San Francisco 72— Dons were 17-3 at one point, then went 4-7 in their last 11 games, losing last four in a row.
— San Diego 80, BYU 57— Toreros jumped out to a 13-0 lead, led 46-19 to halftime. It is difficult to look worse than BYU did in this game.

7) Upsets of the Day:
— Western Illinois (+15) 79, South Dakota State 76
— Northern Arizona (+13) 89, Northern Colorado 78 OT
— Troy State (+11) 74, Coastal Carolina 67

— Cal-Riverside (+9) 71, Cal-Davis 70
— TCU (+6) 69, Texas 56
— Pepperdine (+6) 89, San Francisco 72

6) Belmont star Dylan Windler fell thru the cracks of the recruiting system and wound up at Belmont mainly because he only played AAU ball for a little while.

Windler is a 1-handicapper on the golf course, so he was teeing it up in the summer instead of running around the AAU circuit, and he went largely unnoticed, because that is how recruiting works, for better or worse.

5) Lakers’ Brandon Ingram has a blood clot in his shoulder, is expected to miss the rest of this season. Lonzo Ball is also supposed to miss the rest of the season.

4) Not sure why all the Antonio Brown news breaks after midnight, but looks like the unhappy WR is being dealt to the Raiders, for 3rd-round and 5th round draft picks.

3) Oklahoma City Thunder’s last two opponents:
— Clippers 31-46 on foul line (OKC 17-26)
— Trailblazers 38-47 on foul line (OKC 25-32)

2) The last time a pitcher made his major league debut by starting on Opening Day was in 1943; San Diego’s Chris Paddack has a chance to do that later this month.

1) Steve Wojciechowski’s five years as head coach at Marquette:
— 96-67 overall, 43-47 in Big East games.
— This will his 2nd trip to NCAA’s (lost by 20 in first round in ’17)
— Big East tournament record: 3-4
— Record in March: 10-11
— His team this year starts three juniors; time to put up or shut up.
