Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview, What to Watch
Thursday is the second consecutive night that the New Orleans Pelicans will host the Sacramento Kings at the Smoothie King Center. In the Western Conference, the Kings (28-26) are in ninth place, and the Pelicans (12-42) are in last place. Now let's get started with the match prediction.
The New Orleans Pelicans' lackluster 119-111 performance against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night led to their tenth straight loss.
With 33 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, Zion Williamson had the game's most impressive effort. The squad also made 47% from 94 field goals.
With an average of 110.0 points per game (23rd overall) and an average of 119.2 points per game (27th in the NBA), New Orleans is in the bottom 10 on both sides of the scoring spectrum this season.
The Sacramento Kings, meanwhile, increased their winning streak to three games. During this run, they have won twice over the Pelicans, 123-118 on Saturday and 119-111 on Wednesday.
With a combined total of 74 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists in the most recent game, Keon Ellis, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine all scored more than 20 points.
With a top-10 offense that scores 116.5 points per game (eighth overall), Sacramento's defense gives up 115.6 points per game (21st in the league).
Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Preview, What to Watch
On Thursday night, the Houston Rockets will host the Golden State Warriors at the Toyota Center in the NBA. The Warriors (27-27) are in 10th place in the Western Conference, while the Rockets (34-20) are in third place. Now, let's anticipate the match!
The Houston Rockets, who defeated the Suns 119-111 last night, are beginning to pick up steam after a six-game losing streak and are now gunning for a third consecutive victory.
As a team, Houston shot 47% from the field and made 13 of 42 attempts from beyond the arc, with Tari Eason leading the charge with 25 points and Jalen Green contributing 22.
Although the Rockets are 16th overall with an average of 113.0 points per game this season, their greatest strength has been at the other end of the floor, where they only give up 108.7 points per game (sixth in the league).
The Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, are trying to recover from a 111-107 loss to the Mavericks last night and have been inconsistent lately, going 5-5 in their previous ten games.
Despite a strong comeback in the second half, Golden State failed to win because their squad only shot 42% from the field, despite the 46 points scored by Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler combined.
The Warriors rank 19th in the NBA with an average of 112.1 points per game, but they have a top-10 defense that gives up only 111.9 points per game.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves Preview, What to Watch
In their last NBA game before the All-Star break, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are on a roll, will travel to Minnesota to play the Minnesota Timberwolves. They had the NBA's best record going into this match, while the Timberwolves are in seventh place in the Western Conference. Our prediction for this match is below.
The last two games have been losses for the Timberwolves. Both losses were against opposition from the East. Chris Finch's team lost against the Cavaliers 128-107, ending their three-game winning streak.
The T-wolves lost a close game 103-101 to a diminished Bucks club on their way home after the crushing defeat in Cleveland. So far, they have dropped 25 out of 55 games.
To start 2025, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Timberwolves in their season opener. They will be confident of winning again because of their recent winning streak.
The team led by Mike Daigenault has won seven games in a row. They have already won at least seven straight games for the third time this season. Last time out, OKC defeated the Miami Heat 115-101.
They now lead their closest Western rivals by 8.5 games after their 44th victory of the season. The lineups may change because this is the second night of a back-to-back for the Thunder and the T-wolves.
Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks Preview, What to Watch
In their last NBA game before the All-Star break, the Dallas Mavericks will host the Miami Heat. Like the Heat in the East, they start this game as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Continue reading to see our prediction for this game.
Last time out, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 111-107 at home, resuming their winning ways. They now have a 29-26 record after winning three of their past four games.
The Mavericks, who recently defeated the Rockets and Celtics, have triumphed in the last two meetings between the Heat and the city. It is anticipated that Anthony Davis would be sidelined for at least a month due to his ongoing injury.
A slump has gripped the Heat. Erik Spoelstra's team is on a three-match losing streak and has dropped five of their previous seven games. The Heat lost to the high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder 115-101 to begin a five-game road trip.
They are currently two games below.500 after losing 27 games. In overtime, Miami won the rematch against Dallas 123-118.
In that November win, Jimmy Butler scored a game-high 33 points to lead the team, but the forward has since left. For this journey, Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson are all under suspicion.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz Preview, What to Watch
The Utah Jazz will play the Los Angeles Clippers at home in an attempt to win two straight games before the NBA's All-Star break. The Jazz are now 17 games behind the Clippers in sixth place in the Western Conference and are ranked second from the bottom. Continue reading to see our prediction for this game.
Recently, the Jazz defeated the Clippers' LA rivals, the Lakers, 131-119. Will Hardy's team carried on with their current offensive success.
In three of their previous five games, they have now scored more than 125 points. Before the Lakers game, the Jazz had suffered three straight losses. Five of their 13 victories have occurred at home.
Against the Jazz, the Clippers aim to complete the season sweep. They have defeated their prospective hosts three times, most recently less than a week ago.
With an average of 130 points, Ty Lue's team has dominated this game against the Jazz. In the most recent meeting, they prevailed 130-110.
But this is their first time playing the Jazz away from home; the previous three games have all taken place in Los Angeles. The Clippers ended a four-game homestand by defeating the Grizzlies 128-114, building on their victory over the Jazz the previous weekend.
