Rating: 2 Units Behind rookie Luka Doncic's 21 points, including key free throws in the final minute, the Mavericks picked up a 122-119 win over the Pelicans at home Wednesday night, snapping a six-game slide. The Pelicans will be trying to avoid their sixth loss in a row when they open a three-game home stand today. Anthony Davis continued his solid play amid the team's struggles with 32 points and 18 rebounds at Dallas. The clincher: Dallas is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win. |

12-27-18 | 76ers v. Jazz -5 | 114-97 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz are starting to find their form with wins in three of the last four games and are coming off a dominating Christmas Day performance in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Jazz will try to get back to .500 when they continue a four-game home stand by hosting the Philadelphia 76ers today. Utah is holding its own against some of the best teams in the West with wins over Portland (twice) and Golden State in the last four games and is crediting an increase in focus. The clincher: Philadelphia is 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Pelicans v. Mavs -2.5 | 119-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Mavericks are suffering through the NBA's longest current losing streak at six straight while struggling on the road and on the defensive end. The Mavericks are a much better team at home and will try to snap the slide when they host the opener of a home-and-home set against the similarly struggling New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are in the midst of their own tough road trip and fell at Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings in the first three stops of a four-game trip. The clinchers: New Orleans is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games while Dallas is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Nuggets v. Spurs -3.5 | 103-111 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs seek to post their 12th consecutive home win over Denver when they host the Nuggets today in the first game of a home-and-home between the two teams. Denver hasn't won a contest in San Antonio since posting a 99-94 victory on March 4, 2012. The Spurs have won seven of their past nine games. The clincher: San Antonio is 22-8 ATS in their last 30 home games. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Cavs +10.5 v. Grizzlies | 87-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A young team that has seen its roster turn over dramatically since last season is bound to have some issues, but coach Larry Drew wants to see his team power through the tough times with a little more resolve. Larry Nance Jr. was a bright spot in Sunday's loss with 20 points and six rebounds, and the 25-year-old forward is averaging 15.3 points and 12.3 rebounds over a four-game stretch. The clinchers: Cleveland is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Memphis and 16-6 ATS in the last 22 meetings overall. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Hornets v. Nets -1.5 | 132-134 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets bounced back well from their first loss in over two weeks and hope to continue their recent surge when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in the front end of a home-and-home set. The Nets saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end with a loss to Indiana in the opener of a three-game homestand Friday, but recovered to top Phoenix 111-103 two nights later. The Hornets won five of seven to get back over .500 before dropping a 119-103 decision at Boston on Sunday. The clinchers: Brooklyn is 21-7 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Southeast while Charlotte is 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 vs. NBA Atlantic. |
|||||||
12-25-18 | Lakers v. Warriors -8.5 | 127-101 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors have gotten used to playing against Lebron James on Christmas Day, but this time he'll be in a different uniform. The Warriors will try to get the better of James for the second straight time on Christmas when they host the Los Angeles Lakers. Golden State faced James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last four NBA Finals but will be seeing him for the first time in a Lakers uniform during the regular season. James and Los Angeles dropped four of their last six and are coming off a 107-99 loss to Memphis as they try to build a team that can compete with the Warriors in the West. |
|||||||
12-25-18 | 76ers v. Celtics -4 | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia 76ers continue to dominate on their home floor while sometimes struggling for success on the road, a trend that began with an 18-point loss at Boston to begin the season. Philadelphia improved to an NBA-best 16-3 at home by routing Eastern Conference-leading Toronto 126-101 on Saturday, but they carry a 6-9 road mark into the opener of a challenging five-game road trip. The clincher: Boston is 24-8 ATS in their last 32 home games. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Mavs v. Blazers -7.5 | 118-121 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks are playing the second game of a back-to-back set after pushing Golden State to the brink before falling 120-116 on Saturday. Rookie small forward Luka Doncic scored 19 points in the loss and is averaging 25.5 over his last four contests, but Dallas has dropped five straight to fall one game below .500. The clincher: Portland is 28-11 ATS in their last 39 home games. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Pelicans v. Kings +1 | 117-122 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The last time the New Orleans Pelicans met the Sacramento Kings they were in the midst of a 4-0 start and putting up points at a record pace. A very different Pelicans team struggling through a 5-11 stretch enters Sacramento for a rematch with the up-and-coming Kings. New Orleans scored a franchise-record 149 points in a 20-point win over the Kings on Oct. 19, but it is now sinking toward the bottom of the Western Conference and lost its third straight Friday night at Los Angeles with a 112-104 setback against the Lakers. The clincher: Sacramento is 25-10 ATS in their last 35 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Wizards v. Pacers -9.5 | 89-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana gets the benefit on Sunday of playing against a Wizards squad traveling for a back-to-back after fighting through three overtimes to earn a 149-146 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Shooting guard Bradley Beal scored 10 of his 40 points in the third overtime and recorded his first career triple-double in the victory. The clinchers: Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference while Washington is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Hawks +9.5 v. Pistons | 98-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hawks come into town aiming for their first three-game winning streak of the season. Kent Bazemore led seven players in double figures and Atlanta dominated on the boards to defeat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden by a 114-107 margin Friday night. The Clinchers: Atlanta is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win while Detroit is 4-14 ATS in their last 18 vs. NBA Southeast. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Mavs v. Warriors -11.5 | 116-120 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mavericks are slumping with losses in four straight games and surrendered at least 120 points in each of the last three, capped by a 125-121 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The clinchers: Dallas is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Bucks v. Heat +3 | 87-94 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat are enjoying their longest winning streak of the season at three in a row as their defense has rounded into shape. That trend will be tested Saturday night when the Milwaukee Bucks -- the league's top scoring team, fresh off another resounding win of their own -- pay a visit. The Heat have allowed 99 points or fewer in each of the consecutive victories against Memphis, New Orleans and Houston, the last of which began a stretch in which Miami plays nine of 12 at home. The Clincher: Miami is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Raptors +6.5 v. 76ers | 101-126 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors aim to defeat Philadelphia for the third straight time this season when they visit the 76ers today. Toronto, which owns the best record in the NBA, won the first two matchups by an average of 14 points and this matchup is the first of the season in Philadelphia. Star forward Kawhi Leonard matched his season high of 37 points on 12-of-16 shooting as the Raptors posted a 126-110 home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The clincher: Toronto is 36-16 ATS in their last 52 vs. NBA Atlantic. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Grizzlies v. Kings -2 | 99-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Grizzlies are losers of four straight and six of the last seven games and failed to reach 100 points in any of those seven contests. The Clinchers: Kings are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points while Memphis is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Wolves v. Spurs -4 | 98-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs look to stretch their home winning streak against Minnesota to 11 games when they entertain the Timberwolves today. San Antonio improved to 50-9 all-time at home against Minnesota with a 112-108 win on Oct. 17. The Timberwolves haven't won in San Antonio since posting a 108-95 victory on April 17, 2013 in the regular-season finale when Rick Adelman was coach. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Pacers v. Nets +3 | 114-106 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are suddenly having some trouble scoring points and dropped their last two games following a seven-game winning streak. The Pacers will try to bounce back when they close out a two-game road trip by visiting the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are winners of seven in a row and pulled out a 96-93 win at Chicago on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back after knocking off the Los Angeles Lakers at home. |
|||||||
12-21-18 | Hawks v. Knicks -3 | 114-107 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The highlights have been few and far between for the Atlanta Hawks, but the rebuilding team heads to New York for a Friday matchup with the Knicks after perhaps their best performance of the season. Atlanta led by 11 points after one quarter and held off a late Washington rally on Tuesday for a 118-110 home victory, just the seventh time in 30 games the Hawks have walked off the court winners. The clincher: Atlanta is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Atlantic. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Wizards v. Hawks +3 | 110-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington is just 6-17 ATS when coming off a victory of 15 or more points, when it'd been listed as a home underdog. With an O/U line in the mid 230s, the Wizards are only 1-6 ATS the past seven times that they played a road game with an O/U line of 230 or greater. The Hawks, who have dropped three straight, know that this is their final home game before Christmas. Note that they're 4-1 ATS after giving up 230 or more. Playing with revenge from a loss here a couple of weeks ago. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Lakers -2.5 v. Nets | 110-115 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers are 1-2 on their four-game road trip following a 128-110 loss at Washington on Sunday. LeBron James was held to a season-low 13 points and Los Angeles gave up 71 first-half points while falling to 7-8 on the road. However, Los Angeles took both meetings last season, including a 102-99 triumph at Brooklyn on Feb. 2. The clincher: The Nets are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. |
|||||||
12-18-18 | Cavs v. Pacers -12 | 92-91 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Indiana Pacers seek to extend their season-long winning streak to eight games when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Pacers have won five games by double digits during the stretch, including Sunday's 110-99 victory over the New York Knicks. The clincher: Cleveland is 7-24-1 ATS in their last 32 games following a double-digit loss at home. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Blazers v. Clippers -2 | 131-127 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unis Portland is suffering through a six-game road slide and scored a season-low 83 points at Memphis on Wednesday before making the brief stop back in the northwest and lighting up the scoreboard. Los Angeles fell by a total of 62 points in losses to Toronto and San Antonio before battling the Thunder in a 110-104 road loss on Saturday. The Clippers shot 50.7 percent from the floor, including 13-of-25 from 3-point range, and had three players score at least 20 points in the setback. The teams split the first two meetings, with Los Angeles earning a 104-100 victory at Portland in the most recent matchup on Nov. 25. The clincher: Portland is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Jazz +5.5 v. Rockets | 97-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets are trying to overcome some shooting woes on the outside from shooting guard Eric Gordon, who is battling through knee soreness and is 1-of-17 from 3-point range over the last three games. Gordon was held to a season-low four points on 2-of-11 shooting in 31 minutes during Saturday's victory. Utah took each of the first two meetings this season, including a 100-89 win at Houston on Oct. 24 and is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Southwest. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Kings v. Wolves -7.5 | 105-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves could not salvage anything from their four-game road trip but hope to turn around their fortunes when they return home today for a match up against the Sacramento Kings. The Timberwolves dropped a 107-99 decision at league-worst Phoenix on Saturday to end a trek during which they allowed an average of 119.3 points, but they have been tough to beat at home (11-4) this season. The clinchers: Minnesota is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Suns v. Knicks -1.5 | 128-110 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Knicks finished their three-game road trip with a loss but hope to take some positives into a rare home game on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. Two nights after posting a dramatic comeback win in Charlotte, the Knicks played Indiana tough until the very end of Sunday's 110-99 loss and completed the trek with a 1-2 record. New York fell to 5-13 away from home, and its 18 road games are the most in the Eastern Conference - with a visit to Philadelphia on tap for Wednesday and a six-game trip beginning just after Christmas. The clincher: Phoenix is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-16-18 | Raptors v. Nuggets +3 | 86-95 | Win | 102 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Toronto, which sits atop the Eastern Conference and owns the best record in the NBA at 23-8, breezed by the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors on the first two stops of the trip before falling at the Trail Blazers 128-122 on Friday. Star forward Kawhi Leonard, who sat out the first two games of the trip with a hip injury, returned to the lineup at Portland but All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry (thigh) missed the game and is day-to-day. The Nuggets are the improbable leaders of a tightly-packed Western Conference and are winners of five straight at home after knocking off Memphis and Oklahoma City to begin the current four-game stand. |
|||||||
12-16-18 | Heat v. Pelicans -6.5 | 102-96 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Orleans Pelicans haven't managed to get a winning streak off the ground in nearly a month but could change that with a victory over the visiting Miami Heat today. The Pelicans, who traded wins and losses over the last 10 games, have not won back-to-back games since a three-game streak from Nov. 16-19. The clincher: Miami is 5-11-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings in New Orleans. |
|||||||
12-16-18 | Lakers -2.5 v. Wizards | 110-128 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Lakers are soaring toward the top of the Western Conference and look to build off another runaway win when they visit the new-look Washington Wizards today. LeBron James and Lonzo Ball both recorded triple-doubles for the Lakers in Friday's 128-100 rout of Charlotte as Los Angeles won for the seventh time in nine games, with three of the victories coming by at least 23 points. The Wizards are coming off a tumultuous couple of days, first seeing a proposed three-team deal fall apart after Friday's 125-118 loss at Brooklyn and then working out a trade with Phoenix the following day. |
|||||||
12-16-18 | 76ers -8 v. Cavs | 128-105 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 76ers leaned on center Joel Embiid the last two games in Butler's absence but even 40 points and 21 rebounds from the All-Star on Friday were not enough to put the team in the win column. The Cavaliers got off to a solid start on their three-game homestand with a 113-106 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday but could not contain Giannis Antetokounmpo on Friday and ended up falling to the Milwaukee Bucks 114-102. The clinchers: Cleveland is 16-35 ATS in their last 51 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 7-23 ATS in their last 30 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and 7-23-1 ATS in their last 31 games following a double-digit loss at home. |
|||||||
12-15-18 | Wolves v. Suns +7.5 | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves aren't having much luck on their road trip, especially on the defensive end. The Timberwolves will try to end the four-game trip on a high note when they visit the Phoenix Suns today. Minnesota allowed an average of 123.3 points over the first three games of its road trip, capped by a 141-130 setback at the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. |
|||||||
12-15-18 | Bulls v. Spurs -10 | 98-93 | Loss | -112 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs are playing like the great teams of their recent past during a six-game home stand and are coming off one of their most impressive wins after blowing past the Los Angeles Clippers 125-87 on Thursday. The Spurs will try to make it five straight victories when they host the Chicago Bulls today. The Bulls averaged 85.7 points in their last three games - all losses - and fell short in the final minutes of a 97-91 loss to the Orlando Magic in Mexico City on Thursday. |
|||||||
12-14-18 | Wizards v. Nets -1.5 | 118-125 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets are turning some heads with their play of late, which includes a pair of wins over Eastern Conference contenders during a three-game streak. The Nets will try to push it to four in a row on today when they host the slumping Washington Wizards, who dropped their last three games. Brooklyn sandwiched a win over New York around victories over Toronto and Philadelphia, outlasting the 76ers 127-124 on the road Wednesday to keep the winning streak alive. The Wizards dropped the final two on a four-game road trip before coming home on Wednesday and suffering a 130-125 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. |
|||||||
12-12-18 | Thunder -2 v. Pelicans | 114-118 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder own the best winning percentage in the Western Conference after recovering from a 0-4 start. The Thunder look to post their 18th win in the past 22 games when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans today. Oklahoma City star point guard Russell Westbrook has only been the second-best player on his own team thus far as small forward Paul George has been superb, the latest example being a 31-point outing in a 122-113 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday despite having just 10 field-goal attempts. |
|||||||
12-12-18 | Blazers v. Grizzlies OVER 200.5 | 83-92 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Grizzlies are known as a defensive team. While that's mostly true, they've still allowed nine of their last 10 opponents to reach triple-digits in scoring. The last time that the Blazers played the second of back to back games, they allowed 143 points. The last two meetings between these teams have both produced 211 combined points. |
|||||||
12-09-18 | Jazz v. Spurs +4 | 97-110 | Win | 100 | 1 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs are getting chances to avenge some of their most recent losses, and the Utah Jazz are next up on the revenge list. The Spurs, who host the Jazz today, were ripped 139-105 at Utah on Tuesday and followed that up with a loss at the Los Angeles Lakers the next night before bouncing back with a win at home over the Lakers on Friday. San Antonio shot 50.5 percent from the floor and placed eight scorers in double figures in Friday's 133-120 triumph. |
|||||||
12-09-18 | Bucks +5.5 v. Raptors | 104-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Raptors are coming off a poor performance after shooting 39.3 percent in a 106-105 overtime loss at the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. Toronto dropped two of its last three games following an eight-game winning streak and suffered its first loss of the season 124-109 at Milwaukee on Oct. 29. Milwaukee pulled off a 122-119 overtime victory in its last trip to Toronto on Feb. 23. |
|||||||
12-08-18 | Heat v. Clippers -9 | 121-98 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Clippers had won 12 of their previous 14 games before the poor showing against the Grizzlies in which leading scorer Tobias Harris (21 points per game) scored just seven points on 2-of-13 shooting. Miami opened its six-game road trip with a 115-98 victory over Phoenix only its fifth win in 14 contests. Bam Adebayo scored a career-high 22 points and Justise Winslow was 4-for-4 from 3-point range while recording a season-best 20 points. |
|||||||
12-08-18 | Wolves v. Blazers -2 | 105-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Portland got a big boost on Thursday from reserve forward Jake Layman, who did not play in the previous five games but found his way off the bench and scored a career-high 24 points, including 15 in the first quarter. Layman's hot start propelled the Trail Blazers to a 34-9 lead after the first 12 minutes. The home team took the last nine in the series, with each earning a win already in 2018-19. |
|||||||
12-08-18 | Kings v. Pacers -4 | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers will try to avenge their most recent loss when they open up a three-game home stand against the Sacramento Kings today. The Kings sent the Pacers to a 111-110 loss in the finale of Indiana's recent four-game road trip, riding a balanced attack and a late put back by Willie Cauley-Stein to the triumph. The Pacers and their league-leading scoring defense have done well to recover by topping Chicago 96-90 at home before picking up a convincing 112-90 victory at Orlando on Friday, despite playing shorthanded. |
|||||||
12-05-18 | Hornets +5 v. Wolves | 104-121 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Charlotte star Kemba Walker is struggling of late and is averaging 19.2 points on 34.5 percent shooting over the last five games, including a 5-of-16 effort in Sunday's 119-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Picking up some of the slack is power forward Frank Kaminsky, who followed up a scoreless effort in Friday's loss to Utah with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting on Sunday. Kaminsky could see extended minutes on today with fellow power forward Marvin Williams expected to miss at least the next few games with a shoulder injury. |
|||||||
12-05-18 | Pistons v. Bucks -8.5 | 92-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points and 19 rebounds in the loss to New York and topped 30 in five of the past six games while recording eight straight double-doubles. He was less than thrilled with the setback against the lowly Knicks but thinks his team - which has won more than twice as many games as it has lost - can vastly improve. |
|||||||
11-28-18 | Bulls +14.5 v. Bucks | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks don't lose often, and it's become a surprise when they don't go off for 120 or more points. The Bucks, who lead the NBA in scoring at an average of 121 points, will try to avoid dropping back-to-back games for the first time this season when they host the Chicago Bulls. |
|||||||
11-28-18 | Cavs v. Thunder -12.5 | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder are winners of 12 of their last 15 games but remain unsatisfied with their individual performances. Thunder star Russell Westbrook will find out if some extra work on his shot paid off when the Thunder host the Cleveland Cavaliers. |

11-28-18 | Wizards v. Pelicans -5.5 | Top | 104-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day Washington is a poor 2-7 SU & ATS on the road, allowing 122.0 PPG. New Orleans ranks second in the NBA in scoring (118.2 PPG) and its loss to the Celtics was just the team's second at home in 10 games this season, the first in which All-Star forward Anthony Davis (27.0 & 12.8) played. The Pelicans are averaging 122.0 PPG at home this season and tonight, revenge works! |

11-27-18 | Lakers v. Nuggets -3.5 | 85-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets pulled themselves out of a funk and are rolling along again with wins in three straight. The Nuggets will try to make it four in a row on Tuesday when they host a Los Angeles Lakers squad making a brief stop on the road before an extended home stretch. Denver struggled through a stretch of six losses in seven games but picked up the defensive intensity over the last three contests, capped by a 105-98 victory at Oklahoma City on Saturday in which it held the Thunder to 35.9 percent shooting. |

11-27-18 | Raptors -5.5 v. Grizzlies | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Memphis is a club that needs things to go their way almost every night since they are 30th in scoring. Sure, they have two legit stars in Marc Gasol and Mike Conley but Kyle Lowry matches up just fine with Conley. And Toronto can throw both Jonas Valanciunas and Serge Ibaka at Gasol. The Raptors have been rolling along as they have won five in a row and only one game, against Orlando, was close. In the win over Miami on Sunday, three guys posted double/doubles and they got 42 from the bench contingent. |

11-27-18 | Knicks v. Pistons -7.5 | 108-115 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knicks have won three straight. Whoopee-doo. They’d lost eight of nine, and six in a row, before that. They’ve been attacking the basket well in this stretch, but Detroit head coach Dwayne Casey sees that, and is quite familiar with the Knicks from having coached Toronto, and has a couple o’ good rim protectors named Drummond and Griffin who can help put a stop to this nonsense |
