NBA Preview: Nuggets (30-50) at Clippers (54-26)

Date: April 13, 2015 10:30 PM EDT

The Los Angeles Clippers are as befuddled about the playoff scenarios as just about everybody else in the Western Conference.

They'll try for a sixth straight win in their regular-season home finale against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.

Los Angeles (54-26) added to the chaos in the West by beating Memphis 94-86 at home Saturday. That created the possibility of a three-way tie or a four-way tie with the Grizzlies, San Antonio and Houston.

"I guess it's more confusing now," coach Doc Rivers said. "When you figure it out, let me know."

The Clippers can finish anywhere from second through sixth in the conference. They are hoping to open at home for the fourth consecutive postseason.

'It would be nice to get that No. 2 seed,' guard J.J. Redick said. 'We're going to need some help. We still feel like we have another level to get to.'

Los Angeles is starting a back-to-back set with a visit to Phoenix on Tuesday. Chris Paul, who has played every game this season, and Blake Griffin said Saturday that they do not want to miss either contest.

"If they say they need a rest, they're going to get a rest," Rivers said. "If they say they want to play, they're going to play."

The Clippers still have things to work as the regular season winds down. One of them is getting Jamal Crawford back at his best; the reserve has totaled 15 points and shot 5 of 18 in two games after missing 17 with a calf injury.

"He's just trying to get his rhythm back, it's going to take time," Rivers said.

Crawford's presence is one difference from a 107-92 Clippers win the last time these teams met April 4. Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead in the season series as Redick and Paul combined for 48 points and DeAndre Jordan had 14 points and 22 boards.

Paul also finished with nine assists to one turnover. He had an easy time with Denver point guard Ty Lawson scratched due to a sore right forearm and backup Jameer Nelson leaving in the second quarter with a right hip flexor strain.

Nelson has not played since that contest, while Lawson has averaged 15.0 points and 12.3 assists in playing all three games since.

Jordan is in position to become the first player to lead the league in rebounds per game and shooting percentage in consecutive seasons since Wilt Chamberlain from 1971-73.

Jordan's 70.9 shooting percent is second best in league history behind Chamberlain's 72.7 in 1972-73. He needs to make his next 35 shots to break Chamberlain's mark.

The Nuggets (30-50) closed out their home schedule with Sunday's 122-111 win over Sacramento. Kenneth Faried scored 30 and made 12 of 14 shots while Wilson Chandler added 21.

Denver improved to 10-11 since interim coach Melvin Hunt replaced Brian Shaw on March 3.

'I feel like we're back to the old Nuggets and it's exciting,' Faried said. 'I hope they hire him and I hope he's our head coach next year.'

NBA Game of the Day: Grizzlies at Warriors

Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors (OFF, OFF)

The Memphis Grizzlies are locked in a battle for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference and are trying to hold off three other teams, possibly without the services of Marc Gasol. The Grizzlies hope to have their star center back when they visit the top-seeded Golden State Warriors on Monday.

Gasol left Saturday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first quarter with a left ankle sprain and is day-to-day. “Any time one of your best players goes out the game changes a lot,” forward Zach Randolph told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. “But we still had a chance to win the game. A couple mistakes here and there and a couple of rebounds here and there and it could have gone either way.” Memphis is also dealing with injuries to Mike Conley (foot) and Tony Allen (hamstring) as the season winds down. The Warriors are rolling to the finish and set a franchise record with their 37th home win on Saturday.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBATV, SportSouth (Memphis), CSN Bay Area (Golden State)

LINE HISTORY: N/A

INJURY REPORT: Mem: Conley (questionable, ankle), Gasol (questionable, ankle), Allen (mid-April, hamstring). GS: Barbosa (questionable, achilles).

POWER RANKINGS: Grizzlies (-8) + Warriors (-15.2) + homecourt (-3) = Warriors -4.2

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (54-26): Memphis is battling the Clippers, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets for that No. 2 spot and is staying in the race on the defensive end. The Grizzlies have allowed an average of 87.2 points in the last six games while posting a 4-2 record in that span. The defensive turnaround comes after a three-game losing streak toward the end of March that included a 107-84 home loss to Golden State on Mar. 27 in which the Warriors went 16-of-31 from 3-point range.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (65-15): Stephen Curry was 8-of-12 from beyond the arc in that win over the Grizzlies and continues to set records with his 3-point shooting. Curry smashed his own record for 3-pointers in a season with an 8-of-13 performance on Thursday and followed it up with five more 3-pointers in a win over the Timberwolves on Saturday as Golden State plays out the string in the regular season. “I just think they’re ready for the playoffs,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters of his players. “They want it, and I’m very confident that when that happens, our edge will be back. We’ll have our appropriate fear and we’ll be sharp.”

TRENDS:

*Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
*Road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
*Under is 29-10-1 in Grizzlies last 40 overall.
*Warriors are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall.

NBA playoff picture: Heat on verge of elimination
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

After Saturday's games, not much was officially decided, but the NBA playoff picture started to clear up a bit -- at least in the Eastern Conference.

The Toronto Raptors defeated the Miami Heat to secure home-court advantage in the first round of the postseason.

And in doing so, the Raptors knocked the Heat to the precipice of their season.

No LeBron most likely equals no playoffs for the four-time defending Eastern Conference champions.

Miami was a long shot to make the finals after LeBron James decided to take his talents back to Cleveland last offseason.

The team re-signed forward Chris Bosh and still had guard Dwyane Wade. And just a week ago it looked like they were a sure bet to make the playoffs.

But in professional sports, there are no sure bets.

A late-season collapse, culminated with a stinging loss to Toronto on Saturday, has pretty much sealed the Heat's fate.

The Heat must win both of their two remaining games and Brooklyn and Boston, currently ahead of them in the race for the playoffs, must lose their remaining games. The Nets and Celtics each have three games left, including Sunday against the Bucks and Cavs, respectively.

The Chicago Bulls have gotten a lift with the return of All-Star guard Derrick Rose. The former MVP scored 22 points in a Bulls win over the 76ers on Saturday night.

In the Western Conference, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds against Memphis as Los Angeles moved into a three-way tie with the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference playoff race.

If the Clippers win their final two games, they will secure home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. But if they don't win both, depending on what the Grizzlies, Spurs and Houston Rockets do, the Clippers could fall to sixth.

Important games on the docket for Sunday include San Antonio hosting Phoenix and Houston hosting the dangerous New Orleans Pelicans.

An intraconference duel could go far in deciding the fates of the Thunder and the Pacers as Oklahoma City and Indiana face off in a crucial matchup. With a victory, one of the two teams could sneak into the eighth spot in their respective conference.

A loss could prove devastating.

NBA roundup: Celtics win, close in on playoff berth
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics moved to the verge of grabbing a playoff spot, trouncing the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 117-78 on Sunday.

The win, Boston's third in a row and 18th in the last 27 games, left the Celtics in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and reduced their magic number for clinching a playoff berth to one with two games remaining. They lead the teams tied for eighth place, the Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers, by a game and also own the tiebreaker against both teams.

The Cavaliers, who will be the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference (and would play Boston if the Celtics are seventh), played without the resting LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and J.R. Smith.

Guard Isaiah Thomas came off the bench and led seven Celtics in double figures with 17 points, adding six assists.

Bucks 96, Nets 73

MILWAUKEE -- Ersan Ilyasova scored 21 points and the Bucks punched their ticket to the playoffs. Owners of the NBA's worst record a year ago, the Bucks will head into the postseason with the sixth seed in the East.

The Nets' loss, coupled with a victory by Boston and the Pacers win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, leaves Brooklyn and Indiana tied for the eighth spot in the East.

Center Brook Lopez led the Nets with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Jarrett Jack added 11.

Pistons 116, Hornets 77

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Shooting guard Jodie Meeks fired in 24 points off the bench to help Detroit cruise past depleted Charlotte.

Meeks reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time as Detroit won by its largest margin of the season. Its previous best was a 28-point victory, 106-78, over Charlotte on Feb. 10.

Rookie forward Noah Vonleh achieved career highs with 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Hornets, who have lost four straight and 14 of their last 19.

Pacers 116, Thunder 104

INDIANAPOLIS -- Guard C.J. Miles scored a career-high-tying 30 points, and Indiana topped Oklahoma City.

A 12-0, fourth-quarter run that included 3-pointers from reserve guard Rodney Stuckey and Miles and a three-point play from point guard George Hill gave Indiana a 100-88 lead with 5:19 remaining.

Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook scored a career-best 54 points but was whistled for his 16th technical foul of the season, meaning he will have to sit out Monday night's home game against Portland. His 54 are the most scored by a visiting player in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Wizards 108, Hawks 99

WASHINGTON -- Guard John Wall had 24 points after missing the last two games and Washington avoided a season sweep with a victory over Atlanta.

Guard Bradley Beal scored 17 points as all five starters reached double figures for the Wizards. Washington led by 16 points after the first quarter, 66-45 at halftime and by as many as 25 in the second half against the short-handed Hawks. Center Marcin Gortat had 15 points.

The Eastern Conference regular-season champions and top seed in the upcoming playoffs rested its standard starters -- center Al Horford, forward DeMarre Carroll and guards Kyle Korver and Jeff Teague. Forward Paul Millsap missed his fourth straight game with a right shoulder strain.

Nuggets 122, Kings 111

DENVER -- Kenneth Faried said it was strange seeing George Karl sitting on the visitors' bench at Pepsi Center. That didn't stop the Denver Nuggets forward from turning in a great game against his former coach.

Faried scored a season-high 30 points, forward Wilson Chandler added 21 points and nine rebounds as Denver spoiled Karl's return to Pepsi Center with a win over Sacramento.

Faried shot 12-for-14 from the field to set his season high for the second time in three games. He shook off the sight of Karl coaching the Kings to continue his strong play in the stretch run of the regular season. Guard Randy Foye had 16 points for the Nuggets, who ended their home schedule with a losing record for the first time in 12 years. Denver went 19-22 at Pepsi Center.

Spurs 107, Suns 91

SAN ANTONIO -- Tim Duncan scored 22 points as San Antonio defeated depleted Phoenix at the AT&T Center. The forward added 10 rebounds in San Antonio's 11th straight overall victory.

San Antonio guard forward Kawhi Leonard tallied 18 points and nine rebounds, and guard Marco Belinelli scored 13 points off the bench to help the NBA champions close out the home portion of their regular-season schedule with their ninth win at the AT&T Center. Duncan also passed Moses Malone for 11th all-time in NBA history for most games played (1,330).

San Antonio moved into first place in the Southwest Division standings and into second in the conference standings by a half-game over the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.

Rockets 121, Pelicans 114

HOUSTON -- James Harden scored 26 of his 30 points in the middle two periods, and Corey Brewer exploded for 13 points in the fourth quarter to help Houston rally for a critical victory over New Orleans.

Brewer scored six points during a 14-3 run that lifted the Rockets to the lead before adding a transition basket for a 100-92 advantage with 8:12 left. The backup guard finished with 20 points.

Pelicans forward Anthony Davis scored a team-high 27 points, while guard Jrue Holiday added 17 points off the bench. New Orleans remains tied with Oklahoma City for the final Western Conference playoff spot, but the Pelicans hold the tiebreaker.

Mavericks 120, Lakers 106

LOS ANGELES -- Center Tyson Chandler scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead seven players scoring in double figures, and Dallas coasted past Los Angeles at Staples Center.

Forwards Richard Jefferson and Dirk Nowitzki had 17 and 16 points, respectively, as the Mavericks (49-31), who have the No. 7 seed locked up for the Western Conference playoffs, defeated the Lakers for the seventh consecutive game, including the past three at Staples, and swept the season series for the second year in a row. Point guard Rajon Rondo finished with 11 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds for the Mavericks.

Point guard Jordan Clarkson had 26 points and six assists to pace the Lakers (21-59), who have lost six of their last seven.

Warriors aim for 17th straight home win vs. Grizz
Stephen Campbell

Golden State's 110-101 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday marked their 16th straight home win.

As pointed out by ESPN stats & info, the Dubs are the first team to do that since the 2008-09 Cleveland Cavaliers had an astonishing two 16 win home streaks.

The Dubs will try and keep that streak alive Monday when they welcome Memphis to town. The line for the game is currently off the board.

'On The Diamond'

The opening matchup of a four game series is today’s baseball betting focus as the Toronto Blue Jays host the Tampa Bay Rays at the Rogers Centre north of the border. Knuckler R.A. Dickey will toe the rubber for John Gibbon's squad looking to follow up on a solid opener tossing 6 1/3 inning allowing 4 hits, 1 run but tagged with a no-decision as the pen imploded in a 4-3 loss to the Yankees. Dickey will be matching pitches with Rays' Jake Odorizzi off a sharp start of his own going 6 2/3 innings of 2 hit no run ball in a 2-0 victory vs Orioles. This being a series opener should get the attention of sports handicappers keeping close tabs on Toronto. The Blue Jays have an 8-2 stretch as home favorites handing the ball to Dickey. Finally, the Jays are also a smart 5-2 as favorites last seven in the first home game following a road swing. With Rays 2-5 on the road with Odorizzi when light's are on, the club 1-5 on the road when Odorizzi is off a quality outing of =>6 innings =< 2 runs his previous appearance the numbers point to Toronto being a good choice.
