St. Mary's Gaels vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NCAAB PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018


The St. Mary’s Gaels play in the Western Conference and they have had a very good run the last few years. This program has been solid, to say the least. Last season they won 16 games which included a win over Gonzaga and they went deep in the postseason with wins over Washington and SE Louisiana. This season, they have taken a setback with the loss of a few key players and things are not going as planned. They are still a solid team and come into this matchup having won five of the last 6 games. Their only loss in this stretch was to LSU, 78-74. The consensus says that the Hilltoppers have a 56% chance of winning this game, we don’t see it! Sure, the game is in Western Kentucky, but one must consider the current state in which the Hilltoppers find themselves in.


The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are struggling and come into this matchup with a 5-6 record on the season and having lost to some far less talented programs such as Missouri State and Troy. They are hoping to break the skids of a two-game losing streak in which they lost to Troy 87-81and against Belmont 80-74. They do have a couple of standout wins and that goes a long way in any evaluation. They have beaten Valparaiso 83-71, West Virginia 63-57, and Arkansas, 78-77. Valparaiso can’t be considered with the same distinction as West Virginia or Arkansas, however, all three wins were solid and the West Virginia win was an A+ effort on defense, holding the Mountaineers to 57. The loss to Missouri State was inexcusable. This team is on a rollercoaster ride and this game against St. Mary’s is going to be a test.

ABOUT ST. MARY'S (8-5): The Gaels are scoring 78.2 points per game and allowing 67.2 and shooting 50% from the field. They are pulling down 34.5 rebounds per game along with 12.6 assists per game. They must step up the rebounds, control the defensive rebounds and take over in the paint. Follow this formula, and they will beat the Hilltoppers.


ABOUT WESTERN KENTUCKY (5-6): The Hilltoppers are scoring 72.9 points per game but allowing 74.1 and shooting 44.1% from the field while grabbing 36.4 rebounds along with 11.5 assists per game.


EXTRA POINTS


1. The Hilltoppers must find some defense or get run out of their own house in this game.


2. Saint Mary’s has played in one game on the road, so this is a test, we think they are up to it.


3. This one goes in the low-mid 150’s.

Jacksonville St. Gamecocks vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NCAAB PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE

No matter how much West Virginia coach Bob Huggins works on his offense, the result is just about always the same. After another game of poor shooting and execution against Rhode Island, the Mountaineers will try again to improve their efficiency when they host Jacksonville State in a non-conference game on Saturday.


The Mountaineers shot 32.1 percent, were 5-of-25 from 3-point range and committed 15 turnovers in the 83-70 loss to the Rams in a game played at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut last Sunday, one eerily similar to their loss to Florida 12 days prior. "(Efficiency) has been a year-long problem," Huggins told reporters this week. "We don't pass the ball. We don't pass it very well and we don't pass it often enough. ... Our shooting percentage moves up drastically the more we pass the ball. We need to pass the ball and when we have mismatches, we need to take advantage of them." With big man Sagaba Konate (13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.8 blocks) missing his second straight game with a knee injury, the only effective offensive player was forward Wesley Harris, who made five of his six shot attempts to finish with a career-high 18 points. Jacksonville State, which finished second in the Ohio Valley Conference last season, is coming off a 64-50 victory over North Alabama on Tuesday night and has won seven of its last eight.


TV: Noon ET, AT&T SportsNet


ABOUT JACKSONVILLE STATE (7-4): Junior forward Jason Burnell, who led the Gamecocks with 19 points against North Florida and came within one rebound of his third double-double in four games, leads the team in scoring with an average of 14.4 points per game. Marlon Hunter, the only other player averaging double figures at 11.1 points per game, scored 15 in the win and Ty Hudson added 11. Burnell, who started his career at Georgia Southern before averaging 11.2 points and six boards for the Gamecocks last season, also leads the team in rebounding (8.4), assists (3.2) and free throws made (46) - more than double any other player.


ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (6-4): Forward Esa Ahmad (team-high 14.8 points, 6.0 rebounds) scored 12 points against the Rams but got only six shots while the starting backcourt of James Bolden (11.0 points) and Chase Harler (6.8) were a combined 1-of-14 shooting with two assists and four turnovers. The Mountaineers, who have lived off forcing turnovers and disrupting offenses for years, are forcing just 14.1 per game, over two fewer than they commit. "They get six steals and we get one and we're supposed to be the best pressing team in America," Huggins said.


TIP-INS


1. West Virginia will have 6-10, 255-pound freshman forward Derek Culver available Saturday for the first time this season after serving a team suspension.


2. Mountaineers F Lamont West has scored just 12 points on 3-of-18 shooting over his last three games after reaching 20 points in three of his first seven contests.


3. The Gamecocks have played just one team from a power conference, losing 76-61 at Penn State on Nov. 12.

South Carolina Upstate Spartans vs. NC State Wolfpack Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NCAAB PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


North Carolina State returns to the court following its biggest win of the season after knocking off No. 7 Auburn on Wednesday. The Wolfpack will look to make it five straight wins as they host South Carolina Upstate on Saturday afternoon.


Markell Johnson posted career highs with 27 points and five 3-pointers and NC State shot 58 percent in the second half to knock off the Tigers 78-71. The Wolfpack continued their dominance over Top 10 teams of late, improving to 4-1 under second-year coach Kevin Keatts. "I thought we fought for 40 minutes. That's what I've been asking them to do," Keatts told the media after the game. USC Upstate shoots for its third win in a row following a 2-8 start before it enters the holiday break, with its latest win coming on Wednesday as it crushed NAIA-member Truett-McConnell 85-54.


TV: Noon ET, ACC Network


ABOUT USC UPSTATE (4-8): The Spartans had five players reach double figures in scoring for the first time this season as they shot a season-high 56.6 percent from the field on Wednesday. Senior guard Deion Holmes, who poured in a season-high 35 points against South Carolina State four days earlier, led the way with 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting while adding six rebounds in 26 minutes of action. Pat Welch added 12 points on 4-of-7 3-point shooting, while leading scorer Malik Moore had 10 points, bringing his season average down to 16.3 points.


ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (10-1): Johnson shot 9-of-15 from the field while chipping in with four rebounds, four assists and three steals. Sophomore guard Devon Daniels went scoreless before the break but exploded for 15 points in the second half to help the Wolfpack hang on to their eight-point halftime lead. NC State played one of its better defensive games against Auburn, forcing 25 turnovers and holding the Tigers to 5-of-25 behind the arc.


TIP-INS


1. NC State leads the ACC and is fifth in the nation with a 51.6 percent field-goal percentage.


2. Four different players have led the Wolfpack in scoring so far this season.


3. USC Upstate held Truett-McConnell to just 32.3 percent shooting and 26.7 percent beyond the arc.


PREDICTION: North Carolina State 88, USC Upstate 66

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 22ND DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


The Utah Jazz eliminated Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs last campaign, but defeating the Thunder has been tougher in the regular season. The Thunder, who visit the Jazz on Saturday, have won each of the last four in-season clashes and 11 of the last 13 - including a 122-113 home victory on Dec. 10.


The Thunder have outscored their opponents by average of 16.7 points during a three-game winning streak that includes Wednesday's 132-113 victory at Sacramento. Paul George scored 43 points against the Kings - his second-highest output of the campaign - and is 13-for-27 from 3-point range during the team's winning streak. The Jazz, who have posted impressive back-to-back victories over Golden State and Portland, are hoping to ride the momentum after losing four of their previous five games. "We're been turning the corner for a while now," point guard Ricky Rubio said during a television interview after Friday's 120-90 rout of host Portland. "We've been playing better. The results weren't there, but I think we've been playing better the last month. We just pick it up from here and start winning."


TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS Oklahoma, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Utah)


ABOUT THE THUNDER (20-10): Russell Westbrook recorded his 112th career triple-double with 19 points, 17 assists and 11 rebounds against the Kings but may have been the third-best player on his team behind Steven Adams and George. Adams grabbed a career-high 23 rebounds - including nine on the offensive glass - to help Oklahoma City compile a season-best 66 boards. "Steven was phenomenal on the glass," coach Billy Donovan told reporters. "One of the things we wanted to do is play closer to the rim. I felt we needed to play closer to the basket."


ABOUT THE JAZZ (16-17): Rubio recorded 21 second-half points as Utah outscored Portland 65-41 and finished with 24 on 10-of-15 shooting. His offense certainly was needed as Donovan Mitchell scored a season-low three points on 1-of-10 shooting against Portland and is just 22-for-79 over his last four contests. "He's not going to shoot great at times, but there's been plenty of games when he's had a rough night," coach Quin Snyder told reporters. "He's capable of doing that for him, that's what we want. If he doesn't shoot, that's Donovan being selfish."


BUZZER BEATERS


1. George scored 31 points in the Thunder's win over the Jazz earlier this month.


2. Rubio hit all four of his 3-point attempts against the Trail Blazers after going 2-for-15 over his previous five games.


3. Oklahoma City Gs Dennis Schroder and Raymond Felton will return after serving one-game suspensions for leaving the bench area when a minor skirmish broke out during Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.


PREDICTION: Thunder 108, Jazz 105

Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


The Golden State Warriors are still fighting for the top spot in the Western Conference, but the team doesn't seem as dominant as it has in the past four seasons. The Warriors will try to avoid back-to-back losses and find the joy in their game when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.


The Warriors struggled to 40 percent from the floor at Utah on Wednesday while Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson were the only players to score in double figures. "A lot of it's just getting our edge and a chip on our shoulder," Curry told reporters after the 108-103 setback. "Having that vibe when you walk on the floor like we know what we're about to do. Right now, we're still thinking a little bit and trying to figure it out, but we're close." 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. "In the second half we were tough, we played with collective force, we took care of the ball, we shared it, we made shots and we were tough in the paint," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle told reporters after the loss. "On this trip with these opponents, we just got to put 48 minutes together."


TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Dallas), NBCS Bay Area (Golden State)


ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (15-15): Rookie small forward Luka Doncic is immune to the team's struggles and scored a season-high 32 points on 10-of-20 shooting with five assists, four rebounds and four steals in Thursday's setback. "We didn't get a win, so for me that doesn't matter," Doncic told reporters. "I just want to win." Doncic is getting some support on the defensive end from center DeAndre Jordan, who grabbed 22 rebounds on Thursday and is averaging 18 boards during the four-game slide.


ABOUT THE WARRIORS (21-11): Golden State is searching for consistency and is most concerned about staying healthy through the regular season, but finding the championship form remains a priority. "We're going to continue to get that chemistry, playing Warrior basketball that we know how to play," Curry told reporters. "We've talked about it every year. Every year's different. Every year's going to have different challenges and present a different journey. But at the end of the day, we know what type of team we are. I think we're all bought in to what it's going to take to redefine that dominance." Curry's brand of dominance includes him scoring 30 or more points in five of the last eight contests, including 32 on Wednesday.


BUZZER BEATERS


1. Thompson is 5-of-25 from 3-point range over the last four games.


2. Mavericks PG Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) sat out the last three games and is not expected to play Saturday.


3. Dallas snapped a 10-game losing streak in the series with a 112-109 home win over Golden State on Nov. 17.


PREDICTION: Warriors 120, Mavericks 110

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 22ND DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


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. "I feel like we've turned a corner," veteran Dwyane Wade told reporters after Thursday's 101-99 win over the Rockets. "Throughout a season, you want to turn different corners. I feel like we've turned the one we need to now." The Bucks have won four in a row and jumped all over the Boston Celtics en route to a 120-107 victory at TD Garden on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and Milwaukee shot 51.3 percent while reaching the 120-point mark for the 14th time.


TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), FS Sun (Miami)


ABOUT THE BUCKS (22-9): Milwaukee received a big boost from the bench in Friday's win, particularly Tony Snell and Thon Maker, who combined to make 10-of-11 shots -- 7-of-8 3-pointers. "Tony Snell making shots in the first half, Thon making shots in both halves, the bench coming in and helping," coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters. "It's just a good win for us." Antetokounmpo scored the team's first 14 points in the third quarter and is averaging 32.8 points on 68.2 percent shooting over his last four games.


ABOUT THE HEAT (14-16): Miami shot just 38.7 percent in Thursday's win, but it held Houston to 35.4 percent and dominated the battle of the boards. "Our identity is trying to make it ugly," guard Tyler Johnson told reporters after scoring 19 points in the victory. "A lot of teams aren't used to that." Josh Richardson finished with his second straight 22-point effort while tying his season high with seven assists as the Heat improved to just 6-9 at home.


BUZZER BEATERS


1. The Heat won all three meetings last season while holding the Bucks to an average of 88.3 points, and they've taken five straight overall against Milwaukee.


2. Bucks PF Ersan Ilyasova had surgery Friday to repair a broken nose and is out indefinitely.


3. Heat C Hassan Whiteside, who had 17 rebounds in the win over the Rockets, is 6-for-33 from the foul line over his last nine games.


PREDICTION: Heat 107, Bucks 105

San Antonio Spurs vs. Houston Rockets Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 22ND DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE




The Houston Rockets will once again try to move forward without star point guard Chris Paul when they open a three-game homestand against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Paul strained his left hamstring in Thursday's 101-99 loss at Miami, which snapped the Rockets' five-game winning streak, and will miss at least two weeks.


"It's definitely tough, because he's a big-time playmaker and ball handler for us," guard Eric Gordon told reporters. "In this offense you need all of the playmaking that you can have, and usually me, Chris, and James [Harden] have the ball in our hands trying to play-make for other people and provide good scoring." Harden did his best to fill the gap with 35 points and 12 assists against the Heat and Gordon added 20 points but the pair combined to make only 13-of-40 attempts as Houston shot 35.4 percent. The Spurs have won three in a row and seven of eight, and several of the wins have been of the lopsided variety, including Friday's 124-98 rout of Minnesota at home. San Antonio hit a season-high 19 3-pointers -- five apiece by Davis Bertans and Marco Belinelli -- as it reached the 120-point mark for the fifth time during the 7-1 surge.


TV: 8 p.m. ET, KENS (San Antonio), AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)


ABOUT THE SPURS (18-15): San Antonio coasted Friday while getting just 22 total points from top scorers DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, who entered with a combined average of 42.2. "Everybody was willing, we did a good job of sharing the ball and then we made shots on top of it, so that makes for a really good night," coach Gregg Popovish told reporters after his team recorded a season-high 36 assists. Bryn Forbes scored 22 points and he is averaging 19.5 on 70 percent shooting over his last two games.


ABOUT THE ROCKETS (16-15): In the recent past Houston has moved Gordon into the starting lineup in place of Paul, but that was when James Ennis III was healthy and also starting. Ennis is out with his own hamstring issue and there is now an opportunity for Brandon Knight, who is just 3-for-16 from the floor in limited action this season, to make more of an impact. Harden figures to continue to put up gaudy numbers and he is averaging 39.8 points, 9.4 assists and 7.4 rebounds over his last five games.


BUZZER BEATERS


1. The Rockets are 0-5 this season without Paul.


2. The Spurs have given up an average of 125.8 points while going 0-5 in the last half of back-to-backs.


3. The teams split two earlier meetings -- both at San Antonio.


PREDICTION: Rockets 113, Spurs 108

Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


The Toronto Raptors aim to defeat Philadelphia for the third straight time this season when they visit the 76ers on Saturday. 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. Leonard scored 36 points in a win over the 76ers on Dec. 5 but coach Nick Nurse said after Friday's contest that Leonard will sit out against the 76ers. Philadelphia recorded a 131-109 victory over the visiting New York Knicks on Wednesday after losing three of four games and center Joel Embiid led the way with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Embiid has 28 double-doubles this season and 75 in 126 career NBA games.


TV: 7:30 p.m. NBATV, TSN (Toronto), NBCS Philadelphia


ABOUT THE RAPTORS (25-9): Toronto is an ailing squad with point guard Kyle Lowry (thigh) missing the past four games, power forward Serge Ibaka (knee) sitting out the last two games and guard Danny Green (knee) missing his initial game of the season when he didn't play against Cleveland. "We're handling it really well," Nurse told reporters afterward. "We're having to do a lot of different things, play a lot of different lineups and a little bit different style now and then." Forward OG Anunoby matched his career highs of 21 points and eight rebounds after failing to score in double digits in 12 of the previous 13 games.


ABOUT THE 76ERS (21-12): Shooting guard JJ Redick scored 14 points against New York to become the 47th active player to score at least 10,000 career points. The 13-year veteran felt pride in reaching the mark after having to fight to get minutes during the early portion of his NBA career. "Number one, I feel like if you do something long enough, the milestones just sort of come," Redick, who has 10,005 points, told reporters. "It doesn't really equal greatness or anything like that. You just kind of luck into it, I guess. But the other part of that is, if you had told me 10 years ago as a third-year guy struggling to get into the rotation that I would score 10,000 points, I would be like, 'You're crazy.'"


BUZZER BEATERS


1. 76ers SG Jimmy Butler scored a season-high 38 points - a figure he matched in the team's next game - in the loss to the Raptors earlier this month.


2. Toronto SF CJ Miles is 2-for-16 from 3-point range over the past three games.


3. Philadelphia PG Ben Simmons has registered triple-doubles in two of the past three games and four for the season.


PREDICTION: 76ers 108, Raptors 104

Phoenix Suns vs. Washington Wizards Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


The Phoenix Suns no longer own the worst record in the NBA and are streaking up the standings with wins in four straight. The Suns will try to make it five in a row and draw one win closer to double figures in the category when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday.


Phoenix (8-24) snapped a 10-game slide with a win at home over the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 13 and swept the two-game homestand before hitting the road and taking the first two of a five-game trip, including a 111-103 triumph at East-power Boston on Wednesday. "We had a big lead going into crunch time and couldn't land the plane," Suns coach Igor Kokoskov told reporters. "Couldn't really close the game, but we had more discipline, we played unselfishly, we found open people and some guys made big plays in crunch time. That's something that makes me happy." Swingman Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 13 points off the bench in that win over the Celtics while making his Phoenix debut after being acquired in a trade from the Wizards - a deal that sent veteran swingman Trevor Ariza to Washington. The Wizards brought in Ariza to improve the defense, but he couldn't do much as Washington surrendered an NBA-record 26 3-pointers in a 136-118 loss at Houston on Wednesday.


TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Arizona (Phoenix), NBCS Washington LINE: Wizards -6


ABOUT THE SUNS (8-24): Rookie center Deandre Ayton recorded 23 points and 18 rebounds in his third straight double-double on Wednesday and feels that Phoenix has turned a corner. "Just being more mature and closing out games," Ayton told reporters. "Being more confident in our game. Knowing each other on a more personal level. Being harder on each other. Knowing who you can curse at and just playing for each other." The Suns are also getting a boost from the return of guard Devin Booker, who is averaging 30.3 points in three games since returning from a hamstring injury.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (12-20): Ariza is averaging 17 points in two games since joining the team while looking to add a consistent effort to the underachieving bunch. "Aw, man, personally I just feel like we have to do a better job of giving multiple effort," Ariza told reporters after Wednesday's setback. "Basketball is a game of mistakes, and we know that we can make mistakes, but things that you can't do is lack effort. We lack effort. A lot." Shooting guard Bradley Beal is averaging 27.7 points on 50 percent shooting in December but the team is 4-6 in 10 games this month.


BUZZER BEATERS


1. Wizards SF Sam Dekker is 19-of-27 from the floor over the last three games.


2. Suns SF T.J. Warren scored 20 or more points in each of the last five games.


3. The road team took each of the last three in the series, with Phoenix earning a 122-116 win in its trip to Washington last season.


PREDICTION: Suns 123, Wizards 120

Denver Nuggets vs. LA Clippers Preview and Predictions 2018-12-22
NBA PREDICTIONS 21ST DECEMBER 2018 BY GRACENOTE


The Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets are winners of four straight after sweeping through a homestand but are about to embark on a stretch with seven of the next 11 games on the road. That begins on Saturday, when the Nuggets visit the Los Angeles Clippers.


Denver has been off since Tuesday, when it showed off the force of its offense with a 126-118 win over the Dallas Mavericks - two days after showing off defensively in a 95-86 triumph over East-leading Toronto. "We can win any game," Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray told reporters. "I think our mentality is not that we need to win, but that we're going to win. By any means, we're going to win, no matter who's out." The Clippers snapped a four-game slide with a 125-121 home win over the Mavericks on Thursday and reached 125 points for the second consecutive contest as the offense works its way out of a rut. Los Angeles shot 56.6 percent from the floor on Thursday as Danilo Gallinari led the way with 32 points on 11-of-16 shooting.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (21-9): Denver is being led by MVP candidate Nikola Jokic, who is riding a streak of six straight double-doubles and averaged 27.3 points and 13.3 rebounds during the homestand. "Everything," Nuggets coach Michael Malone told reporters about what he's seen from Jokic of late. "We need him to score. He scores 32. We need him to rebound. He does that. We need him to facilitate and make plays for his teammates. He does that. We need him to do a lot on defense, be up in pick and rolls and fly around." Jokic collected 32 points, 16 rebounds, four assists and three steals in the win over Dallas on Tuesday.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (18-13): Los Angeles got a major boost on offense Thursday from sixth man Lou Williams, who returned to the lineup after missing the previous four games with a hamstring injury. Williams poured in 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting and added a team-high eight assists in 24 minutes. "Lou was fantastic," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters. "I thought early on his passing was fantastic and then he started the scoring barrage down the stretch. I just think he gives us a confidence when you have him on the floor. It gives us a closer at the end of the game."


BUZZER BEATERS


1. Murray handed out a career-high 15 assists on Tuesday.


2. Clippers PF Montrezl Harrell went 9-of-13 from the floor on Thursday - his 12th consecutive game shooting 50 percent or better from the floor.


3. Denver earned a 107-98 win at Los Angeles in the season opener on Oct. 17.


PREDICTION: Nuggets 113, Clippers 108
