Orlando Magic vs Utah Jazz Preview, What to Watch
The NBA matchup between the Utah Jazz and the Orlando Magic is scheduled for this Saturday. At 10–36, the Jazz sit at the bottom of the West standings, and with 24–25, the Magic are eighth in the East. This is our prediction for the match.
In an effort to snap an eight-game losing streak, Utah enters this matchup on a scorching run. They lost to the Timberwolves 138-113 on Thursday after being thrashed by 25 points in their own gym.
The Jazz's defensive surrender was the most recent; at 118.9 points per game, they are allowing the third-highest points average in the NBA.
The Magic had to brave out the injury storm for a stretch this season but they now have both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner back on the court and playing normal minutes. Wagner returned four games ago yet Orlando was only able to grab a single win during that time.
In fact, since the return of Paolo Banchero on January 10th, the Magic have only managed two wins from 10 games. In Orlando’s last outing, they were bested 119-90 on the road against the Trail Blazers.
The Magic have really struggled on the road this season, winning only nine in 25 attempts.
Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Preview, What to Watch
The NBA's rising Indiana Pacers will host the struggling Atlanta Hawks on Saturday in a matchup in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks have fallen to ninth place with a 22-26 record, while the Pacers are fifth in the East standings with a 26-20 record. This is our prediction for the match.
After losing to the Cavaliers 137-115 on the road on Thursday, Atlanta has now lost seven straight games and is in complete disarray. Trae Young, their standout point guard, needs to break out of his shooting rut since in his last five games, he has shot 8 for 33 (24.2%) from outside the arc.
The Pacers are starting to put things together, while the Hawks are losing ground.
Over the past two months, Indiana has become one of the league's most exciting teams and has risen to fifth place in the East.
Last Wednesday, the Pacers easily defeated the Pistons 133-119 at home, their second consecutive victory and fourth in their previous five games.
Tyrese Haliburton was outstanding in the Pacers' final two games, shooting 61.8% from the field and scoring 58 points overall. In their last three games, Indiana has averaged 126.3 points per game, moving them up to the eighth-highest scoring club in the NBA (115.9).
Denver Nuggets vs Charlotte Hornets Preview, What to Watch
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets will be looking to build up momentum again after ending their three-match losing streak with a 137-134 victory over the 76ers last night.
Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr combined for 83 points. As a team, Denver shot a very impressive 65% from the field and made 12 of 23 attempts from beyond the arc.
The Nuggets are now the third-highest-scoring team in the NBA at 120.8 points per game, though they do allow 116.7 PPG (25th overall).
After defeating the 76ers 137-134 last night to snap their three-game losing streak, the Denver Nuggets will be hoping to generate momentum once more.
Michael Porter Jr., Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray scored 83 points between them. Denver made 12 of 23 shots from beyond the arc and shot an extremely remarkable 65% from the field as a team.
With 120.8 points per game, the Nuggets are now the third-highest scoring club in the NBA, despite allowing 116.7 points per game (ranked 25th overall).
Sacramento Kings vs Oklahoma City Thunder Preview, What to Watch
In their upcoming NBA game, the Boston Celtics will visit the New Orleans Pelicans. The hosts are in second place in the Western Conference going into this game, while the Celtics are in second place in the Eastern Conference. Our prediction for this match is below.
On Saturday night, the Sacramento Kings will travel to the Paycom Center to play the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Kings (24–23) are in 10th place in the Western Conference standings, while OKC (37-9) is in first place. Now, let's anticipate the match!
After falling to the Warriors 116-109 in the middle of the week, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who had been among the NBA's top teams this season, will be trying to get back on track.
The Warriors scored 68 points in the second half to surpass OKC before the final buzzer, despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring a season-high 52 points.
This season, the Thunder are in the top 10 in both categories, ranking first in points against (104.4 PPG) and ninth in points scored per game (115.7 PPG).
The 76ers defeated the Sacramento Kings 117-104 on Wednesday, handing the struggling team their third loss in four games.
Sacramento shot 44% from the field and only made 10 of their 41 long-range tries, with Malik Monk being the only player to score more than 20 points.
The Kings are in the bottom 10 defensively, giving up 114.6 points a game, yet they are still sixth in the scoring charts with an average of 116.6 points per game.
Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves Preview, What to Watch
For the first time in months, the Minnesota Timberwolves are starting to resemble the team that reached the Western Conference finals last season.
Riding a season-high five-game winning streak, the Timberwolves welcome the Washington Wizards for a Saturday matchup in Minneapolis.
The lowly Wizards fell to 6-41 with a 134-96 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Washington has lost 16 straight, tying a franchise record.
While the rebuilding Wizards are looking toward the future, Minnesota is eager to climb the Western Conference standings following a perplexing start to the season.
After trading Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo before training camp, Wolves coach Chris Finch figured there would be a transition period.
With guard Anthony Edwards at the forefront, the Wolves are once again among the league's most dangerous teams, if the last two weeks are any guide.
Edwards recorded 36 points, 11 assists, six rebounds, and three blocks in Thursday's 138-113 victory over the host Utah Jazz, just hours after he was chosen an All-Star for the third consecutive season.
After Randle left the game in the first half due to a groin injury and did not come back, Edwards took over. Randle will not play on Saturday.
In his dominating performance against Utah, Edwards became the first player in team history to record 35 points or more, 10 assists or more, and three blocks in a single game.
Minnesota defeated Washington 120-106 on the road on January 13 and has won their last three encounters.
Thursday's loss to the Lakers, who led 78-45 at the half and won by 38, was another setback for the Wizards.
The Wizards shot 10-for-44 (22.7 percent) from 3-point range, struggling once more. The Wizards aren't taking advantage of the open shots opponents are offering them from the outside, according to guard Jordan Poole.
Even though Washington has lost four of its previous six games by fewer than 100 points, coach Brian Keefe is still optimistic in his team. The notion that his young players are fostering a losing culture was refuted by him.
Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets Preview, What to Watch
Although the fourth-year veteran's accomplishment came on a difficult day for him and his team, Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun was selected to his first career All-Star squad on Thursday.
The Rockets lost 120-119 against Memphis, bringing the Grizzlies within a half-game of Houston for the second spot in the Western Conference. Sengun also missed his first game of the season because of a damaged calf. The outcome on Thursday also put the teams in the lead in the Southwest Division rankings.
Sengun, who is listed as questionable, might not be available when the Rockets play the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday in an attempt to hold onto their slender division lead.
This season, Sengun averages 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. With starting forward Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) sidelined since January 1 and reserve forward Tari Eason playing 31 games due to persistent leg pain, Houston's injuries have begun to mount.
Guard Jalen Green, who has started 151 straight games since February 26, 2023, is leading the five Rockets who have played at least 40 games this season. In his more than three seasons with the Rockets, the 22-year-old has missed just 21 games, offering steadiness to a rising club trying to find dependable building bricks.
On Wednesday, the Nets defeated Charlotte 104-83 to end a seven-game losing streak and end a 13-game losing streak of 12 games.
Ben Simmons returned from a five-game layoff due to sickness, but Brooklyn was missing Cam Thomas (hamstring), Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), Noah Clowney (ankle), and Cameron Johnson (ankle). In his first appearance in a game since December 16, Trendon Watford finished with nine points and four rebounds in eighteen minutes.
Brooklyn had six players score in double figures on Wednesday. A balanced offensive strategy is required given the roster's depletion.
Los Angeles Lakers vs New York Knicks Preview, What to Watch
In their upcoming NBA game, the New York Knicks will host the Los Angeles Lakers. Both teams are in the top five of their leagues and are enjoying successful seasons. Continue reading to see our prediction for this game.
The Knicks have tightened their hold on the top three in the East with five consecutive victories. With a 32-16 record as of right now, Tom Thibodeau's team has fought their way down to within one game of the Celtics in second place.
They have defeated the Hawks, Grizzlies, Kings, Nets, and Nuggets in their recent winning run. The Knicks won a game 122-112 over the Nuggets. Josh Hart is questionable to go because of a knee ailment that has been noted in the injury report.
The Lakers are sure they can end New York's winning streak because they are also playing well going into this game. Fifth in the Western Conference, J.J. Redick's team has won seven of their last nine games.
LA recovered in their very next game after suffering a shocking away loss to a diminished Sixers squad. They thrashed the inferior Wizards 134-96 in their match.
They have already won 27 times this season, putting them eight games above.500. Due to an injury, Anthony Davis will not play for the Lakers during this trip and for perhaps a week.
Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs Preview, What to Watch
When the San Antonio Spurs next play in the NBA, they will host the Miami Heat. The Heat are in seventh place in the East going into this game, while they are in 12th place in the Western Conference. Our prediction for this match is below.
With a massive upset of the Milwaukee Bucks, the Spurs resumed their winning ways. Gregg Popovich's team had lost five straight home games and had only won twice in ten games going into the game.
The Spurs crushed the Bucks 144-118, led by a double-double of 30 points from Victor Wembanyama. In order to go on a successful run, they will hope to have generated enough momentum. SA is currently 21–24.
Two weeks ago, the Heat dominated their soon-to-be hosts in the season's opening game. They won 128-107 to win this match for the fourth time in a row.
They will feel confident about returning to winning ways after this run. This season, Miami has been inconsistent, and it has been more noticeable lately.
In their last nine games, Erik Spoelstra's team has suffered six defeats. They had already won two straight games before they lost 126-106 at home to the soaring Cavaliers.
Their record fell to 23-23 as a result of the defeat. Due to his indefinite suspension, Jimmy Butler is still not available for selection.
Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers Preview, What to Watch
In the NBA, the Phoenix Suns and the in-form Portland Trail Blazers will play back-to-back series. Six games behind their visitors in ninth place in the Western Conference, the Blazers come into this game in 12th place. Our prediction for this match is below.
The Blazers have won six of their last seven games, demonstrating their excellent play. The Bucks, Bulls, Heat, Hornets, and Magic have all lost to Chauncey Billups' team.
They have already triumphed twice over the Magic, most recently 119-90 at home. With eleven of their wins coming at home, the Blazers are at 19-29.
Jerami Grant is doubtful for the Suns and missed the victory over the Magic because of an ankle injury.
The Suns won the first two meetings with the Blazers this season, both at home. The most recent win (116-109) was back in November. That extended their current winning run in this fixture to four games.
Another victory here and they'll have secured the spoils in this four-game regular season series with a game to spare. Mike Budenholzer’s men have turned the corner after an alarming run of fixtures.
They have won 10 times in their last 14 games. This has moved them right back into the playoff picture with a 25-22 record.
The Suns got back to winning ways with a dominant 130-105 victory away to the Warriors.
