Nets vs. Cavaliers Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Cleveland Cavaliers are missing something on the defensive end in the early going as they try to navigate life without LeBron James. The Cavaliers will try to solve some of their communication issues on defense when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
Cleveland is allowing opponents to shoot 49.5 percent from the floor, including 43.8 percent from 3-point range, during an 0-3 start and was crushed 133-111 in the home opener by the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. "Whoever's in the game has got to be ready to play, take the scout serious and understand what we're doing," center Tristan Thompson told the Akron Beacon Journal. "If you don't know what to do, ask questions. But don't go out there and say, 'I know. I know,' and then you come out there and get your (butt) whupped." The Nets went through their own struggles on the defensive end in a 132-112 loss at Indiana on Saturday but are getting an upgrade on that end with the return of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who missed the first three games with an adductor strain. "I definitely can come out and contribute defensively just being a vocal, energetic and hardworking guy," Hollis-Jefferson told reporters. "It's just about doing whatever they need me to do and doing that extremely well."
TV: 7 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), FS Ohio (Cleveland)
ABOUT THE NETS (1-2): Injuries to the likes of Hollis-Jefferson, DeMarre Carroll and Allen Crabbe gave Caris LeVert the opportunity to get more shots up in the first three games, and he took advantage. LeVert, who averaged 12.1 points in a reserve role last season, is averaging 24.7 points on 65 percent shooting while logging 31.3 minutes in the first three games. Small forward Joe Harris started in Hollis-Jefferson's spot in the first three games and averaged 14.3 points while shooting 52.9 percent from beyond the arc.
ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (0-3): Cleveland allowed the Hawks to bury 22 3-pointers in Sunday's setback and were outscored 41-25 in the fourth quarter. "Opening Night at home we expect to play better," star power forward Kevin Love told reporters. "We expect to play better in front of our home crowd. I don't know if alarming is the right word but it sure sounds right, just with our effort level. Our effort level wasn't there, especially defending the 3-point line. They were just gunning and we weren't getting into them, we weren't physical." Love had a rough night from beyond the arc in that loss while hitting 1-of-8 but is averaging 20.7 points and 14.3 rebounds.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Nets PG Shabazz Napier (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday.
2. Cavaliers SG JR Smith (elbow) sat out Sunday and is questionable.
3. Cleveland took the final three meetings last season while averaging 123 points.
PREDICTION: Cavaliers 112, Nets 108

Mavericks vs. Hawks Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
Rookies Luka Doncic and Trae Young were the featured players in a notable draft-night deal between the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks last spring. The youngsters, who have hit the ground running in their NBA careers, will face off for the first time Wednesday when Doncic leads the Mavericks into Atlanta for Young's home debut with the Hawks.
The two lottery teams swapped their first-round picks and Dallas sent Atlanta a 2019 first-round selection, and both Doncic and Young are already leading their respective teams in scoring, with Young erupting for 35 points in a rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. "Trae is fearless," Hawks guard Kent Bazemore told reporters. "Even in the practices earlier in the summer, he came in and established himself right away. That's what you have to respect: a young guy that comes in, he's not bashful, he's not shy and who has that kind of caliber talent." The Mavericks won two straight and Doncic has shined in both victories, averaging 22.5 points while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He will try to help Dallas snap a nine-game losing streak against Atlanta, a slide that extends to the Mavericks' last win in the series nearly five years ago.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS Southwest (Dallas), FS Southeast (Atlanta)
ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (2-1): Doncic added a team-high six assists in Monday's 115-109 win over the Chicago Bulls, including a clever look to cutting center DeAndre Jordan that put the 19-year-old on the highlight reels. Jordan converted on the play as part of an 18-point, 16-rebound effort, making him the first Dallas player in 24 years to start a season with three straight double-doubles. "He's just been sensational," coach Rick Carlisle told reporters of Jordan. "He's giving us a major presence on the inside. You add the personality and attitude that he brings to the game. On a night like tonight, you don't get over the top without it."
ABOUT THE HAWKS (1-2): Young had 11 assists and Atlanta recorded 32 of them on their 48 baskets in the 133-111 win over the Cavaliers, the Hawks' best scoring output since Dec. 2, 2009. Bazemore finished with 23 points and made 4-of-8 3-pointers just two days after being held to three points without a single 3-point try in a loss at Memphis. Rookie Omari Spellman had a breakout game with 17 points in 24 minutes off the bench after playing just eight total minutes through his first two games.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Mavericks SF Harrison Barnes (hamstring) is expected to miss his fourth straight game to begin the season.
2. Atlanta SF DeAndre' Bembry hit 8-of-14 3-pointers over his last five games, including the preseason.
3. The Mavericks entered Tuesday leading the NBA in 3-point attempts per game (43.3) while Atlanta ranked fourth (37.7).
PREDICTION: Hawks 116, Mavericks 114

Knicks vs. Heat Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Miami Heat will have had three days off to digest a painful loss in their home opener, and to hopefully get a bit healthier ahead of a matchup with the visiting New York Knicks on Wednesday. The Heat rallied from a 20-point halftime deficit to tie the Charlotte Hornets in the final minute on Saturday before falling 113-112.
Miami played once again without Justise Winslow (hamstring), Wayne Ellington (ankle), James Johnson (abdomen) and Dion Waiters (ankle), while Hassan Whiteside (hip) and Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) were both held out of Monday's practice. The Knicks also made a late charge but fell short 124-113 at Milwaukee on Monday, their third straight loss. "This is the suffering you must go through to become a good basketball team," coach David Fizdale told reporters. "The best part about it is our guys found a way to make it a basketball game." Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 24 points for the second straight game and is averaging 27 points through the first four for New York, although the veteran swingman is shooting just 41.8 percent.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, MSG (New York), FS Sun (Miami)
ABOUT THE KNICKS (1-3): Monday marked New York's first game without rookie forward Kevin Knox, who sprained his left ankle in a loss to Boston on Saturday. Damyean Dotson picked up some of the slack after Knox left the game against the Celtics and Dotson played a big part in Monday's contest with 14 points, eight rebounds and two blocks off the bench. Enes Kanter recorded four straight double-doubles to begin the season, the first Knick to do so since Zach Randolph did it in seven straight to open 2007-08.
ABOUT THE HEAT (1-2): Dwyane Wade had the best game of his "Last Dance" season with Miami, scoring 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting against the Hornets. Goran Dragic added 20 points and seven assists against one turnover as he continues to be the steadying force amid the team's many physical issues. "You can bank on what he does virtually every single night," coach Erik Spoelstra told the media of Dragic. "That's why he's an All-Star and one of the best point guards in our league. He can do it with different kinds of teams, different kinds of style. He's a model of consistency."
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Knicks SG Courtney Lee (neck) has yet to play this season and remains day-to-day.
2. Whiteside entered Tuesday tied for third in the NBA with 14.3 rebounds per game.
3. The teams split four meetings last season with the home team winning each time.
PREDICTION: Heat 112, Knicks 105

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Toronto Raptors Preview and Predictions 10-24-2018 in NBA
NBA Previews 23rd October 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Minnesota Timberwolves and their fans are still waiting for some resolution on the Jimmy Butler saga, but as long as he's there he might as well continue to lead the team to wins. Butler will try to guide the Timberwolves to back-to-back victories when they visit the red-hot Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
Butler requested a trade prior to training camp and is still around despite well-documented tension between he and the front office and got mixed messages in each of the first two home games from fans, who booed at the start and cheered when he played well. "I'm just hooping," Butler told reporters. "I don't really pay attention to the crowd. That's my brothers and my guys sitting right there. I interact with them the majority of the game. ... Other than that, I'm out there just hooping." The Raptors made their big trade over the summer over the summer by bringing in Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard is having no trouble fitting in with his new teammates and is averaging 25.7 points and 8.7 rebounds during Toronto's undefeated start.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), Sportsnet (Toronto)
ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (2-2): Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau is looking for a big return in any potential trade for Butler because he understands how much of an impact the All-Star swingman has on both ends of the floor. "He combines great strength, quickness, speed and intelligence," Thibodeau told reporters of Butler's skills at the defensive end. Butler is leading the Timberwolves in scoring at an average of 25.3 points while center Karl-Anthony Towns is pulling out of an early funk and recorded his first double-double of the campaign with 17 points and 14 rebounds in Monday's 101-91 win over the Indiana Pacers.
ABOUT THE RAPTORS (4-0): Leonard is making things easier for the rest of his teammates, especially All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry. Lowry is a career 42.6 percent shooter but is connecting at a 60 percent clip this season and is 20-of-29 from the floor in the three games he started alongside Leonard. Lowry handed out 14 of the team's 36 assists in Monday's 127-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets while shooting guard Danny Green, who came over along with Leonard from the Spurs, scored a season-high 18 points.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Toronto PG Delon Wright (groin) sat out the first four games but could make his season debut on Wednesday.
2. Timberwolves SF Andrew Wiggins (quad) left Monday's game early and is questionable.
3. The teams split the two-game series in each of the last three seasons, with the home team winning each contest.
PREDICTION: Raptors 128, Timberwolves 115

Jazz vs. Rockets Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets met in the Western Conference semifinals last season and figure to be prime contenders to get at least that far in 2018-19. However, both squads have stumbled out of the gate and are just looking to get back to .500 when they meet Wednesday in Houston.
The Rockets split a pair in Los Angeles, first surviving a fight-marred game against the Lakers on Saturday before falling the next night to the Clippers without suspended star point guard Chris Paul. Paul will be serving the second game of his two-game suspension for the fight with Lakers guard Rajon Rondo, likely giving veteran backup Eric Gordon another start in the backcourt. The Jazz dropped both ends of their first homestand of the season, first fading down the stretch against Golden State and then struggling on the offensive end in a 92-84 loss to Memphis on Monday. Utah's starting five combined to shoot 32.7 percent -- including 3-for-21 from 3-point range -- in the setback.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah), AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)
ABOUT THE JAZZ (1-2): After scoring 81 points in the first half against the Warriors on Friday, Utah has had six straight quarters with 24 or fewer points and it produced only 38 after halftime against the Grizzlies. "I think that we had spurts where we got stagnant," guard Donovan Mitchell told reporters. "Just little things. I think that they took us out of what we wanted to do. That can't happen." Reserve forward Jae Crowder led the way with 15 points while Mitchell and fellow starting guard Ricky Rubio combined for 20 on 7-of-25 shooting.
ABOUT THE ROCKETS (1-2): While Gordon -- who scored 21 points while starting in place of Paul against the Clippers -- figures to get another start, forward James Ennis III (hamstring) will be sidelined for a couple of games. Coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters that Michael Carter-Williams will get the start in place of Ennis. All the changes could place more on the shoulders of MVP James Harden, who averaged 33.5 points and 9.5 assists in the 1-1 trip to Los Angeles.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Harden averaged 28 points in the playoffs against Utah last spring but shot just 40.4 percent.
2. Jazz SF Joe Ingles was 1-of-7 from long range against Memphis after hitting 11-of-17 3-pointers through the first two games.
3. Houston won all four regular-season meetings in 2017-18 by an average of 17.5 points.
PREDICTION: Rockets 109, Jazz 101

Hornets vs. Bulls Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Charlotte Hornets have playoff aspirations this season but struggled in a big road test against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference on Monday. The Hornets will try to bounce back and end a four-game road trip on a high note when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday in the first of a home-and-home set.
Charlotte, which will host the Bulls on Friday, knocked off Orlando and Miami to begin the road trip but struggled to defend on Monday and allowed the Raptors to shoot 57.5 percent from the floor in a 127-106 setback. "(Toronto) came in with an aggressive mentality. We just didn't match their physicality, their energy," Hornets coach James Borrego told reporters. "Against a team like this, you have to make them feel you early. I think we let them get into a rhythm." The Bulls aren't especially stout on the defensive end while allowing an average of 122 points in three straight losses to begin the season. "Each and every year I've been with the Bulls we've gone through stretches where we couldn't find our way," forward Bobby Portis told the team's website. "Obviously, for a young team it's hard to find a win in this league. We can do a lot of things."
TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Charlotte), NBCS Chicago
ABOUT THE HORNETS (2-2): All-Star guard Kemba Walker was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 35.3 points in the first three games and was solid again with 26 points on 11-of-22 shooting on Monday but could not quite guide Charlotte to a win. Walker could use more help from the starting frontcourt after watching Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller combine for six points on 3-of-8 shooting in the loss to the Raptors. Reserve center Willy Hernangomez was the lone non-guard to score in double figures in the loss, recording 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting in 18 minutes.
ABOUT THE BULLS (0-3): Guard Zach LaVine is averaging 32.2 points and was 11-of-15 from the floor in Monday's 115-109 loss to Dallas but is attuned to the realities of the young roster. "We have to figure out how to win," LaVine told reporters. "... We have a lot of talent, a lot of good dudes on this team. But we have to learn how to win and we haven't done that yet. Once we figure it out, we can start talking about other goals and other things. But we have to be able to come back from a deficit and still get a win." Point guard Kris Dunn suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee during his season debut on Monday and will be sidelined four to six weeks.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Bulls PF Jabari Parker is averaging 16 points after scoring a season-high 20 at Dallas on Monday.
2. Charlotte SG Malik Monk scored in double figures in each of the first four games.
3. Chicago took three of the four meetings last season.
PREDICTION: Bulls 110, Hornets 108

Pacers vs. Spurs Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The San Antonio Spurs are a franchise in transition and they look to win for the third time in four games this season when they host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The revamped Spurs are banking that standout guard DeMar DeRozan will be a good fit with power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and the early returns are favorable.
DeRozan was acquired from the Toronto Raptors in the deal for disgruntled Kawhi Leonard and he is averaging a team-best 29.3 points with his low output through three games being 28. Aldridge regained his go-to role last season while Leonard was injured and he is averaging 23.3 points after exploding for 37 in Monday's 143-142 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Pacers are playing the second game of a stretch in which five of six are on the road and coach Nate McMillan is hoping for a better offensive showing then Monday's 101-91 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. "I thought our shot selection was poor," McMillan told reporters of the 39.6 percent effort. "We didn't have ball movement. Basically we were taking quick shots and taking quick, contested shots."
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, FS Indiana, FS Southwest (San Antonio)
ABOUT THE PACERS (2-2): Shooting guard Victor Oladipo has strung together three straight 20-point efforts but he wasn't impressed with his play while scoring 20 on 8-of-23 shooting against Minnesota. "I've got to do a better job with my shot selection, seeing guys coming, seeing the weak side coming over and stuff like that," Oladipo told reporters. "It is something we've got to get better at -- making the right decisions offensively and stuff." Point guard Darren Collison is off to a slow start with averages of seven points and 4.3 assists.
ABOUT THE SPURS (2-1): DeRozan recorded 32 points and a career-best 14 assists in the win over the Lakers but it was neither he nor Aldridge who hit the winning shot. Veteran Patty Mills connected on the decisive jumper with 6.8 seconds left and the player in his eighth season with the team is now the longest tenured player with the franchise. "It's always good when you make shots or make an impact," Mills said afterward. "Other than that shot, it was a team victory. It was a gutsy win. Everyone participated."
BUZZER BEATERS
1. The Pacers swept two games from the Spurs last season and their win in San Antonio was just their second in the past 16 visits.
2. San Antonio is averaging 13 3-points baskets per game with G Bryn Forbes leading the team with 10.
3. Indiana F TJ Leaf (ankle) is expected to return after a three-game absence.
PREDICTION: Spurs 109, Pacers 103

76ers vs. Bucks Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/24/2018
The Milwaukee Bucks are seeking their first 4-0 start since the 2001-02 campaign when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Milwaukee has thrived under first-year coach Mike Budenholzer as it is averaging 118.3 points during the strong start.
Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo says he isn't yet comfortable with Budenholzer's offensive style, but he is off to a superb start by averaging 27.3 points, 16 rebounds and 5.7 assists. "It's the third game of the season, new coach, new game plan," Antetokounmpo told reporters after Monday's 124-113 victory over New York. "I'm just trying to figure it out, and I will. When I do, it's going to be so easy. I'll be a beast out there." Philadelphia will attempt to bounce back from Tuesday's 133-132 overtime loss to Detroit, a contest in which it allowed Blake Griffin to score a career-best 50 points. Point guard Ben Simmons (back) sat out the game and his availability will be determined prior to Wednesday's contest.
TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, NBCS Philadelphia, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)
ABOUT THE 76ERS (2-2): Simmons exited Saturday's victory over Orlando in the first half, and his back didn't respond well enough to treatments for him to play against Detroit. Asked by reporters if he will return to face the Bucks, Simmons said, "There's no point in rushing. It's only the fourth game. Let's just see how it feels." Center Joel Embiid (33 points, 11 rebounds) missed a potential winning shot at the buzzer Tuesday while shooting guard JJ Redick (30 points) has reached the 30-point mark in back-to-back games, going 14-for-28 from 3-point range during that stretch.
ABOUT THE BUCKS (3-0): Antetokounmpo isn't the only player off to a torrid start as swingman Khris Middleton is averaging 24 points and is a scorching-hot 15-for-23 from 3-point range. The 6-8 Middleton was 7-for-8 from 3-point range - and 11-for-14 overall - while scoring 30 points against the Knicks, and Budenholzer feels he can develop into one of the NBA's top 3-point shooters. "We feel like he puts a lot of work and time into his craft," Budenholzer told reporters. "We're going to create great opportunities for everybody, including Khris. And he's done it before."
BUZZER BEATERS
1. The teams split last season's four meetings, with the home team winning each time.
2. Philadelphia rookie G Landry Shamet made his first career start in place of Simmons and recorded five points in 24 minutes.
3. Milwaukee PG Eric Bledsoe registered 13 assists against the Knicks, three shy of his career best.
PREDICTION: Bucks 116, 76ers 112

Lakers vs. Suns Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The arrival of LeBron James isn't translating into victories as the winless Los Angeles Lakers visit the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. James missed a potential winning 3-pointer in Monday's 143-142 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs as his new club dropped to 0-3.
James maintains he isn't frustrated by the winless start -- "I know what I got myself into," he said -- but it is clear he is expecting some victories to soon be part of the equation. "We're going to continue to get better," James said after the loss to the Spurs. "I like the direction we're going in. Obviously, it's not resulting in the wins right now, but it's such a long process." Phoenix has dropped back-to-back contests but is pleased with building block Deandre Ayton, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds in Monday's 123-103 loss to the Golden State Warriors. "Every game I play I learn from it," Ayton told reporters. "This game I learned about how fast we can move. Those guys are grown men and they were running faster than us. We've just got to keep up our energy and not come out slow and really lock in on defense."
TV: 10 p.m. ET, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles), FS Arizona
ABOUT THE LAKERS (0-3): James recorded 32 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds in the loss to San Antonio but is just 3-of-19 from 3-point range after missing the game's last shot. "We'll take LeBron going to his left on a step-back jumper for game every single night," Los Angeles coach Luke Walton said after the contest. "He is going to hit most of those. Players making plays." Small forward Kyle Kuzma was the team's best player on Monday as he poured in 37 points on 15-of-25 shooting and collected eight rebounds in 45 minutes.
ABOUT THE SUNS (1-2): Small forward TJ Warren is serving in a reserve role after the offseason additions of Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza and he played the part well in the loss to Golden State by scoring 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting in 24 minutes. The fifth-year pro accepted the challenge of being sixth man and has been a "spark plug" in the eyes of star shooting guard Devin Booker. "No matter what's going on, he can play well," Booker told reporters. "He knows how to play the game of basketball and it shows. He's that piece that we need."
BUZZER BEATERS
1. The Lakers went 3-1 against the Suns last season.
2. Booker has scored at least 25 points in all three games and is averaging 29.3.
3. Los Angeles SF Brandon Ingram will miss the second of a four-game suspension and PG Rajon Rondo will sit out the second of a three-game suspension related to their actions in Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets.
PREDICTION: Suns 119, Lakers 114

Grizzlies vs. Kings Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/24/2018
The Memphis Grizzlies look to record their third straight victory when they conclude a brief two-game road trip against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Memphis stunned Utah 92-84 on Monday in the opening game of the trek despite shooting just 36.9 percent from the field.
The Grizzlies had issues putting the ball in the basket and adjusted by increasing their defensive intensity as they held the Jazz to 35.4 percent shooting while forcing them to miss 12 of their first 13 fourth-quarter shots. "It says we've got a lot of grit on this team," point guard Mike Conley told reporters. "We've got a lot of guys who've got a lot to prove, play with a lot of energy. We play together. We stick together through adversity." Sacramento's defense has been atrocious, and Tuesday's 126-111 loss to Denver reduced their average points allowed to 129.5. The Kings are home for two contests after going 1-2 on a three-game road trip and then head back out on the road for four games.
TV: 10 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Memphis), NBCS California (Sacramento)
ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (2-1): Marc Gasol is coming off a solid outing against the Jazz as he posted 18 points and 13 rebounds while outplaying Utah's Rudy Gobert, who scored seven of his 11 points after Memphis' center fouled out with 3:41 remaining. Gasol was bothered by a sore back that limited his effectiveness over the first two games - he averaged just 6.5 rebounds - but appeared much more mobile against Utah. "He's kind of the horse that pulls the plow," coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters. "Time and time again, when called upon, he goes out and does the job."
ABOUT THE KINGS (1-3): Second overall draft pick Marvin Bagley III had his best game as a pro on Tuesday, when he scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting while also recording nine rebounds and five blocked shots. The 19-year-old forward averaged 17.3 points and eight boards during the road trip and has the look of a player who soon will to be promoted to the starting lineup. Second-year point guard De'Aaron Fox will look to bounce back against Memphis after scoring just six points on 2-of-8 shooting against Denver to follow up a hot start during which he averaged 20.7 points over the first three games.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. The Grizzlies posted two 18-point victories over the Kings last season, while Sacramento's win was by one point.
2. Kings backup SF Justin Jackson is averaging 14 points on 11-of-17 shooting over the last two games.
3. Conley scored a season-best 23 points despite going 6-for-20 from the field against the Jazz.
PREDICTION: Kings 109, Grizzlies 106

Wizards vs. Warriors Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 10/23/2018
The Golden State Warriors bounced back from their first loss in impressive fashion on Monday while showing off the full range of their offensive gifts. The Warriors will try to make it two in a row on Wednesday, when they host a Washington Wizards squad coming off their first victory.
Golden State came out flat and committed 19 turnovers in a 100-98 loss at Denver on Sunday but was a different team at home the next night, shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and cutting the turnovers to 14 in a 121-103 rout of the Phoenix Suns. "That looked like our team," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "The purpose of each possession, just driving and kicking and trying to get guys better shots and playing together. It was a good night." The Wizards began their five-game road trip by outlasting the Portland Trail Blazers 125-124 in overtime on Monday to earn their first win. "It was a great win for us," Washington coach Scott Brooks told reporters. "A lot of good plays, and finally, the ball bounced our way."
TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBCS Washington, NBCS Bay Area (Golden State)
ABOUT THE WIZARDS (1-2): Washington rode a small-ball lineup featuring Markieff Morris at center to the win on Monday and plans to stick with that group whenever it needs a spark. "I think that's the best basketball we played, obviously all year, but just for a while," shooting guard Bradley Beal told reporters. "Because it's fun out there. It's fun. Everybody touched it. Everybody was involved and everything was clicking on both ends." Morris ended up scoring 28 points while going 6-of-10 from 3-point range in 25 minutes.
ABOUT THE WARRIORS (3-1): Golden State has no problem going small and regularly uses power forward Draymond Green at the center spot, though the team is committed to working center Damion Jones into the mix. The 23-year-old Vanderbilt product scored 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting in Monday's win and is shooting 85 percent from the floor while averaging 21 minutes through the first four games. Superstar point guard Stephen Curry is off to a hot start as well and is averaging 30.5 points on 52.9 percent shooting, including 46.8 percent from 3-point range.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Washington C Dwight Howard (back) has yet to make his team debut and is not traveling with the team.
2. Warriors PG Shaun Livingston (knee) sat out the last two games and is questionable for Wednesday.
3. Golden State took both meetings last season and seven of the last eight in the series.
PREDICTION: Warriors 120, Wizards 106
