Old School Meets New School
The Bulls finally got back in the win column on Friday, topping Toronto 116-106 on a handful of strong performances, none more noticeable than Doug McDermott’s 30-point outburst. Chicago could use a win streak, but it was the Wizards that got the win when these teams last met in January....
Almost quietly, the Sacramento Kings have crept around at the back end of the NBA playoff picture in the Western Conference. It's still going to take a really good run to get into meaningful May basketball, and an upset in a game like this one on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs certainly would help matters out....
It’s too late in the season, but at least New Orleans is starting to play good basketball. With wins in four of their last five, the Pelicans are no longer a threat to the Lakers for the worst record in the Western Conference. The Pels also have two wins in their last three road games and go for the season sweep of the Wizards on Tuesday....
Two teams headed in opposite directions will square off in the Rose City when the Blazers host the Nets. Portland has won 10 of 11 with a 32-point blowout of Golden State included, while the Nets haven’t won in their last six away games....
The Los Angeles Clippers shook things up a little bit at the trade deadline knowing they had to make a move to try to put themselves over the top in the West. The Clippers rolled the dice by dealing Lance Stephenson and a first rounder to the Grizzlies for Jeff Green who has always seemed to have more potential than he showed on the court. LA's first test with Green in the lineup is a doozy, a home tilt against Golden State....
The Bulls have a couple games to get back on track before Sunday, but right now, Chicago is struggling and an easy matchup against the Lakers is a bit of a gift. Over their last seven games, the Bulls have tallied just one win....
The only teams in the Association to win at least 60 games last season, the Warriors and Hawks will meet for the first time in 2015-16 on Monday. The teams split the series last season with each winning on its home floor and will complete this year’s series in the span of nine days....
After opening the post-break portion of their schedule with games against the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls get a breather when they host the lowly Lakers. Chicago blasted LA 114-91 when the clubs met at Staples Center back on Jan. 28....
Two championship contenders could light up the scoreboard when the Cavaliers and Thunder meet for the second time this season. OKC is the second-highest scoring team in the NBA while the Cavs have improved their offensive output since a coaching change last month....
One of Golden State’s losses this season came in the second game of a back-to-back, and that’s what the Dubs are faced with after a contest in Portland on Friday. The Clippers will try to take advantage of that situation. But playing on consecutive days hasn’t bothered the Warriors the other 12 times....
Fresh off his second consecutive All-Star Game MVP performance, Russell Westbrook looks to guide the Thunder to victory opening the post-break portion of their schedule. OKC goes for its 10th straight home win when the Pacers visit for a nationally televised game....
The surprising Celtics own the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at the break after winning 10 of 12 to close out the first part of their schedule. The Jazz have moved into playoff contention with a nice little run of their own, winning eight of 10 before the break and host the Celtics in the second of a back-to-back after a game in Washington on Thursday....
Since beating the Spurs on the opening night of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder have had no luck whatsoever beating the top teams in the league. They're 0-2 SU and ATS against the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, and they'll have a chance to make some headway against the beasts of the East on Sunday afternoon at home....
The Celtics will hope the time off didn’t cool them down as they look to secure their sixth win in the last seven tries in Utah against a Jazz team that opened up its second half of the season in Washington last night....
The Clippers get a brutal test out of the gate following the All-Star break with games against the Spurs and Warriors. At least those games are on the Staples Center floor, where the Clippers are 17-8 SU. They’ll try to avenge an early-season loss to the Spurs when they had Blake Griffin in the lineup....
The Bulls were considered the main threat to the Cavaliers’ reign atop the Central Division and Eastern Conference. That changed in the weeks leading up to the All-Star break with Chicago floundering through four straight losses and six defeats in its last seven games. The Bulls can make a statement with a third consecutive victory over Cleveland this season....
The home team has won four straight matchups between these two clubs and seven of the last eight dating all the way back to 2011. With a dynamic 25-5 home record this season, the Thunder appear well positioned to kick off the second half in the win column....
An Eastern Conference division duel on TNT kicks off the post All-Star schedule as the Bulls visit Cleveland to battle the East’s best team. The Cavaliers are 38-14 overall, 21-4 at home including 5-5 ATS when laying double-digits following Monday’s 120-100 blowout win over the Kings....
With the All-Star game behind us, the NBA regular season resumes on Thursday in what officially is the start of the second half. Through their first 50 games, the Golden State Warriors emerged as the clear favorite to win the championship once again this year with a 46-4 straight up and 29-19-2 against the spread mark. The Warriors will look to keep that momentum rolling coming out of the All-Star break....
It really feels like there's nothing that can stop the San Antonio Spurs right now. They've won six straight games, including the first two of the Rodeo Road Trip, and they're going to be heavily favored in the first game of a back-to-back at the Staples Center against the Los Angeles Clippers....
Most of the NBA will already be on hiatus on Thursday night. However, the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans have one more matter of business to tend to when they face off with one another in the Sooner State....
The Houston Rockets have a lot of decisions to make during the NBA's trade deadline. They're 27-26 and aren't even guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, and even if they do get in, their reward is very likely to be a very short series against either Golden State or San Antonio. There's a real chance this team could be blown up at the trade deadline, and a loss on Wednesday in the last game of the first half of the season against the Portland Trail Blazers could go a long way towards making that hap...
