The Devils enter Friday’s contest vs Anaheim on a two-game winning streak, which marks the first time since Dec. 3-Dec. 6, 2022, that Jersey’s team won consecutive games. Jersey’s team embarks on a season-long five-game road trip:

1/10 at CAR, 5-3, W
1/13 at ANA
1/14 at LAK
1/16 at SJS
1/19 at SEA

WHAT TO KNOW
The Devils enter Friday’s contest with a 15-2-1 road record. As of Jan. 12, Jersey’s 15 road victories were tied with Vegas for the most in the NHL, but the team’s .861 points percentage on the road ranked first in the NHL. The most road wins in a single season overall for franchise history is 28, which was earned in 1998-99 (28-10-3). The Devils are 19-0-1 when leading after the second period this season, which is tied with Toronto for the second most wins in the NHL behind Boston (21), per Jan. 12. The Devils are 17-11-2 when outshooting an opponent this season, while Jersey is 8-1-1 when outshot in a game for the 2022-23 campaign. New Jersey is 1-0-0 when shots are even against an opponent this season. After Tuesday night’s contest vs Carolina, the Devils earned their fifth multi-goal comeback in a game this season. As of Jan. 12, the five multi-goal comebacks ranked first in the NHL. The Devils also surrendered two shorthanded goals in a game for the first time this season, which also marked the second time in franchise history that the team earned a win when allowing two SHG in a game: Last: Jan. 27, 2020, at Ottawa, 4-3 shootout win. The last time the Devils allowed two SHG in a game was on Apr. 21, 2022, vs Buffalo in a 5-2 loss. Jersey’s team is 24-4-3 when scoring three-or-more goals in a game this season. The Devils have allowed 1, or fewer, goals against 10 times this season in a game. Jersey’s team allowed one, or fewer goals against, in a game just eight times all of last season.

LIGHTING THE LAMP
Jersey is one of seven teams that hasn’t been shut out this season. Last season, the Devils suffered their first shutout in the team’s eighth game, which occurred on Nov. 2, 2021, at Anaheim (4-0, L). The franchise record in a single season is 80 consecutive games without being shut out, which occurred in 1987-88. The Devils were not shut out for the duration of the 80-game regular season in 1987-88. The current streak is the longest stretch of games from the start of a season without being shutout since 2012-13, when the Devils experienced 36 games without being shut out. The Devils are 10-2-1 vs the Western Conference and 7-0-0 vs the Pacific Division.

Cubs agree to terms with infielder Eric Hosmer on a one-year contract Major League contract

CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs today agreed to terms with first baseman Eric Hosmer on a one-year major league contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. To make room for Hosmer on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. has been designated for assignment.

Hosmer, 33, is a four-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner (2013-15, 2017), was named the 2016 All-Star Game MVP and earned a 2017 Silver Slugger Award across his 12-year major league career with Kansas City (2011-17), San Diego (2018-22) and Boston (2022). In 1,658 career major league games, Hosmer owns a .277 average (1,731-for-6,255) with 319 doubles, 20 triples, 196 home runs, 879 RBI and 556 walks, contributing to a .336 on-base percentage and a .764 OPS. From 2011-21, Hosmer ranked second among major league first basemen in hits (1,629), games played (1,554) and stolen bases (76).

The six-foot four-inch Hosmer split the 2022 season between Boston and San Diego, batting .268 (102-for-380) with 19 doubles, eight home runs and 44 RBI in 104 games. In April, he batted .389 (28-for-72), the eighth-highest mark all-time by a Padres player during the month (min. 75 PA) and through May 13, he led the major leagues with a .377 average (43-for-114). On August 2, Hosmer was acquired by Boston from San Diego in a four-player trade and played in 14 games for Boston before being placed on the injured list August 21 and missing the rest of the season with low back inflammation.

Hosmer made his major league debut in 2011 with Kansas City, finishing third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting. During his inaugural major league campaign, the left-handed hitting first baseman led all qualifying major league rookies in average (.293), go-ahead RBI (26) and game-winning RBI (13), while leading all A.L. rookies in hits (153), runs (66) and multi-hit games (42). He was named the A.L. Rookie of the Month for both July and September.

In 2015, Hosmer helped guide the Royals to their first World Series title since 1985, becoming the first A.L. first baseman since Rafael Palmeiro (1997-99) to win a Gold Glove in three-straight seasons. He finished the campaign tied for the A.L. lead among first basemen with a .997 fielding percentage, while finishing among the league leaders in runs (T-8th, 98) and RBI (T-12th, 93). In the postseason, Hosmer recorded 17 RBI in 16 games, including at least one RBI in 11 of his final 13 postseason games.

Hosmer in 2016 and 2017 batted a combined .292 (353-for-1,208) with 55 doubles, two triples, 50 home runs and 198 RBI in 320 games for the Royals. During the 2017 campaign, Hosmer set career highs in hits (192), average (.318), on-base percentage (.385), slugging percentage (.498), OPS (.882) and total bases (300), en route to his first career Silver Slugger award.

A native of South Miami, Fla., Hosmer graduated from American Heritage High School (Fla.) and was selected in the first round (third overall) by Kansas City in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.

Leiter, 31, signed a minor league contract with Chicago in December of 2021 and last season was 2-7 with a 3.99 ERA (30 ER/67.2 IP) and three saves in 35 games for the Cubs, including four starts.

NBA Preview: Oklahoma City Thunder (19-23) at Chicago Bulls (19-23)

Scuffling much of the season, the Chicago Bulls can’t afford to overlook anyone.

The Bulls have suffered a handful of losses this season to teams missing their biggest pieces, including Wednesday in their most recent game, when Washington – without Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis – knocked off Chicago.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have made a habit of pushing teams well ahead of them in the standings to the brink, pulling off their share of surprising victories, including Thursday’s 133-114 win in Philadelphia.

Friday in Chicago, the Bulls and Thunder meet with Chicago still trying to put things together and Oklahoma City trying to continue heading in a strong direction.

The Bulls have lost back-to-back games and four of their last seven.

The Bulls have failed to reach 100 points in just four games this season. Two of those have been their most recent losses.

The Thunder have won four of their last six and are averaging 126 points per game during that stretch.

In addition to the 76ers, Oklahoma City has beaten Boston and Dallas in recent games.

Thursday’s win snapped a six-game road losing streak for Oklahoma City.

Friday’s game is the second of two meetings between the teams this season.

The Thunder won the first, 123-119, in overtime on Nov. 25 in Oklahoma City with Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 30, including hitting five consecutive free throws in the final minute of overtime. Giddey narrowly missed a triple-double.

Friday, it could be the Bulls who could be short-handed.

DeMar DeRozan, who missed his first game of the season Wednesday, is listed as doubtful with a right quadriceps strain.

Zach LaVine, who hasn’t missed a game since early November, is listed as probable with a right hand contusion.

The game is the first of consecutive home games for the Bulls and the third of a four-game road trip for the Thunder.

RENO, Nev. – After suffering their first conference defeat of the season on the road against San Diego State, the University of Nevada Men’s Basketball team will return home to face Utah State Friday evening at 8pm. 

Friday night’s game will be sponsored by America First Credit Union and will serve as Nevada’s Night of Recognition and Inclusion. Athletes with special and additional needs from the Hoop Camp Foundation will be participating in in-game events throughout the night.

The Pack will enter Friday night’s contest with an impressive overall record of 14-4, including a mark of 4-1 in conference play. Nevada is yet to lose at the Lawlor Events Center this season, as they hold a perfect record of 9-0 at home.

The Pack got off to a slow start against San Diego State; but, the team battled back from a double-digit deficit and outscored the Aztecs 38-30 in the second half. Unfortunately, Nevada’s strong second-half performance was not enough, as they dropped their first conference game of the season by a final score of 65-74.

For the second consecutive game, redshirt freshman Nick Davidson led the Pack in scoring, pouring in 17 points on 5-10 shooting from the field throughout the contest. Davidson also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds, four of which came on the offensive glass. Over Nevada’s past three games, Davidson is averaging 14.7 points per game on 51.9 percent shooting from the field and 93 percent at the free throw line, while also pulling down 6.3 boards per contest. Davidson now ranks fourth overall on the team in both scoring (8.6 PPG) and rebounding (4.3 RPG). 

Fellow freshman Darrion Williams had another strong outing against the Aztecs, scoring 10 points on 4-8 shooting from the field and 2-5 from behind the arc, while also pulling down six rebounds and recording a career-high four steals throughout the game. Williams continues to lead the Pack in rebounding this season, and he currently ranks sixth overall in the Mountain West, averaging 7.2 boards per game. Williams has scored at least nine points and pulled down at least six rebounds in each of Nevada’s past three games.

Freshman guard Trey Pettigrew had one of his best offensive performances this season, scoring seven points on a perfect 3-3 shooting from the field in 13 minutes of action off the bench. 

The freshmen trio of Davidson, Williams, and Pettigrew are averaging a combined 31.5 points and 17.5 rebounds per game over the Pack’s past two games.

Kenan Blackshear scored 12 points, pulled down five rebounds, and dished out a game-high five assists against the Aztecs. The senior guard has now reached double figures in scoring in nine straight games, and he has recorded at least three assists in 17 of Nevada’s 18 games this season. Blackshear continues to rank in the top-15 of the Mountain West in an abundance of individual categories. Blackshear is currently tied for first in total assists (86 assists), second in assists per game (4.8 APG), eighth in free throw percentage (8.4%), 10th in steals per game (1.4 SPG) and minutes per game (31.8 MPG), and 12th in points per game (14.0 PPG). 

Jarod Lucas also eclipsed double figures in scoring against San Diego State, putting up 11 points during the game. Lucas has now scored in double figures in 16 straight games and 17 of 18 contests this season. Lucas ranks second in the conference in total points (300), points per game (16.7 PPG), and made 3-pointers (48), while also ranking third in free throw percentage (85.4%), and fourth in 3-point field goal percentage (37.8%). 

As a team, Nevada has continued to maintain one of the best free throw percentages in the country, as they currently rank seventh in the nation at 79.3 percent. The Pack also ranks first in the country in made free throws (322) and 17th in free throw attempts (406). 

The Pack has excelled on the defensive end of the court throughout the season, as they rank in the top-five of the conference in almost every defensive statistical category. Nevada is currently third in the Mountain West in opponent points per game (64.4 PPG), third in opponent field goal percentage (40.2%), fifth in opponent 3-point field goal percentage (32.1%), fifth in turnovers forced (233), and fifth in defensive rebounding (26.8 per game).

Nevada has been exceptional coming off of a loss this season, as they own a 3-0 record, winning by an average margin of 6.7 points in those contests.

The Pack will need a strong performance Friday to move to 4-0 following a loss this season, as they will host a high-powered Utah State team.

Scouting Utah State

Utah State enters Friday’s matchup with an overall record of 14-3 and a mark of 3-1 in conference play. 

The Aggies earned impressive victories over Utah Valley, Santa Clara, San Francisco, LMU, and Washington State this season, with their three losses coming against Weber State, SMU, and Boise State. 

Utah State has been lethal from behind the arc this season, as they rank first in the country in 3-point field goal percentage, shooting a sensational 42.3 percent from three this season. 

The Aggies rank second in the Mountain West in points per game (81.9 PPG), second in field goal percentage (49.0%), and third in free throw percentage (73.5%). 

Individually, junior guard Steven Ashworth has led the way for Utah State, averaging 15.6 points per game on an incredible 51.3 percent shooting from behind the arc, which ranks first in the country. Ashworth also leads the conference and ranks 11th in the nation in made 3-point field goals per game, as the junior is averaging 3.4 makes from behind the arc each time out.

Graduate student Taylor Funk is also having an exceptional season on offense for Utah State, as he is averaging 14.1 points per game on 40.2 percent shooting from three, in addition to ranking second on the team in rebounding, grabbing 5.7 boards per contest. 

Max Shulga and Dan Akin are also averaging double figures in scoring for the Aggies, putting up 12.2 and 12.1 points per game, respectively. Akin also leads the team in rebounding, pulling down an impressive 7.4 boards per contest this season.

Nevada will look to slow down the pace of the game and prevent Utah State from getting open 3-pointers in transition throughout the contest. The Pack will need to protect the 3-point line and have one of their best defensive performances of the season in order to earn their 15th victory of the year and move to 5-1 in Mountain West play.

Series History

Nevada and Utah State have faced off 38 times throughout history, with the Aggies holding a 22-16 record in the all-time series. Nevada won the most recent contest between the two squads, earning an 85-72 victory over Utah State in Logan last February.

NHL Morning Skate – Jan. 13, 2023

* The Kraken blanked the Bruins to capture their seventh straight victory and become the first team to earn a regulation win at TD Garden since April 14, 2022 while also halting their 14-game point streak overall.

* Connor McDavid, who dazzled fans one last time before his 26th birthday today (including Ducks legend Teemu Selanne), enters the NHL’s three-game Friday the 13th schedule just one point shy of 80 on the season. The slate also features Jack Hughes and Trevor Zegras squaring off on HULU and ESPN+.

* Just over a week after Connor Bedard’s MVP performance at the 2023 World Junior Championship, NHL Central Scouting will release its mid-season rankings presented by BioSteel on Friday at 11 a.m. ET, listing the top draft-eligible players for the 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft.
 


KRAKEN BLANK BRUINS, HAND NHL-LEADERS THEIR FIRST HOME LOSS OF 2022-23

Eeli Tolvanen scored for the fourth time since debuting with the Kraken on Jan. 1 and Martin Jones turned aside all 27 shots he faced as Seattle (25-12-4, 54 points) became the first team to defeat Boston (32-5-4, 68 points) in regulation at TD Garden since Ottawa on April 14, 2022 – ending a stretch of 29 consecutive home games (regular season and playoffs).

* The Kraken, who improved to 6-0-0 on their seven-game road trip, have won seven consecutive games overall since Jan. 1 and matched the club’s longest-ever win streak (7-0-0 from Nov. 17 – Dec. 1, 2022). They are just one of two expansion franchises in NHL history with multiple seven-game win streaks within their first two seasons of existence following the Golden Knights (8 GP in 2017-18 & 7 GP in 2018-19).



* Jones, with back-to-back shutouts for the first time since Oct. 10-13, 2015 (w/ SJS), became the first Kraken goaltender to record consecutive shutouts and the first goaltender to blank the Bruins at TD Garden in nearly a full calendar year (Frederik Andersen: Feb. 10, 2022 w/ CAR). 

RANGERS, LIGHTNING EACH RALLY TO COLLECT YET ANOTHER COMEBACK WIN

The Rangers (24-12-7, 55 points) and Lightning (26-13-1, 53 points) are two of five teams who earned comeback wins Thursday to maintain their place in their respective division standings. Both clubs rank among the top teams in comeback victories this season.



* K’Andre Miller scored the tying goal in the final second of regulation, paving the way for a New York victory against Dallas courtesy of Adam Fox’s winner in overtime. Miller matched the latest game-tying goal in Rangers history (59:59), first set by Doug Robinson on Feb. 21, 1965 and then tied by Darren Turcotte (Feb. 17, 1992) and Brian Leetch (Dec. 1, 1998).

* Nikita Kucherov (1-1—2) factored on two of his team’s five goals and became just the third player to reach the 60-point mark in 2022-23 (17-44—61 in 40 GP) as Tampa Bay extended the NHL’s longest active home winning streak to nine games. Kucherov hit the benchmark for the eighth time in his career, tied with Vincent Lecavalier for the third-most 60-point seasons in Lightning history behind only Martin St. Louis (11x) and Steven Stamkos (9x).



OFFENSE FROM THE DEFENSE LIFTS BRIND’AMOUR TO 200TH CAREER WIN
Defensemen Brett Pesce (2-0—2), Jaccob Slavin (1-1—2), Brent Burns (1-0—1) and Jalen Chatfield (1-0—1) scored five of Carolina’s six goals as Rod Brind’Amour collected his 200th career win as head coach and the Hurricanes (26-9-7, 59 points) opened a four-point cushion on the idle Devils (26-12-3, 55 points) atop the Metropolitan Division.

* The Hurricanes, who had four different defensemen score in the same game for the first time in franchise history, are the first team to accomplish the feat since the Panthers on April 2, 2022 (4). Additionally, Carolina is the second team to have defensemen combine for five goals in a game this season following the NY Islanders on Oct. 15, 2022 (Robin Salo: 2-0—2, Scott Mayfield: 2-0—2, & Noah Dobson: 1-0—1).



AROUND THE RINKS #NHLSTATS: LIVE UPDATES
It was a busy Thursday across the NHL with many notes to choose from posted in #NHLStats: Live Updates. A few examples include:

* Quinn Hughes (22-179—201 in 242 GP) recorded his 200th career point and became the third-fastest active defenseman to hit the mark behind only Cale Makar (195 GP) and Adam Fox (241 GP). Hughes required the sixth-fewest games among U.S.-born defenseman in NHL history to reach 200 points, trailing only Brian Leetch (211 GP), Phil Housley (212 GP), Mark Howe (216 GP), Gary Suter (219 GP) andFox(241 GP).

* Lucas Raymond opened the scoring with his 35th career goal and tied Gordie Howe for the third most by a Red Wings skater before age 21 behind only Steve Yzerman (83) and Dylan Larkin (40). Raymond helped the Red Wings defeat the Maple Leafs in regulation for the first time since Dec. 15, 2017.

* In a contest that witnessed the Canadiens celebrate P.K. Subban in a pre-game ceremony, Cole Caufield scored his 24th and 25th goals of the season (42 GP) and required the fewest games to hit the 25-goal mark by a Canadiens skater since Stephane Richer (39 GP) in 1987-88. It marked the sixth multi-goal performance of 2022-23 for Caufield – only Bo Horvat (9) and Alex Ovechkin (7) have more.

* Flames forward Walker Duehr scored his first career goal (3 GP), and in the process became the first player born in South Dakota to ever score in the NHL.

TVA SPORTS DOUBLEHEADER ON FRIDAY THE 13TH FEATURES BIRTHDAY BOY McDAVID
Friday the 13th features a TVA Sports doubleheader, with Sidney Crosby and the Penguins (21-13-6, 48 points) playing host to the Jets (27-14-1, 55 points) at PPG Paints Arena followed by the Oilers (22-18-3, 47 points) squaring off with the Sharks (13-22-8, 34 points) at SAP Center as NHL scoring leader Connor McDavid (35-44—79 in 43 GP) celebrates his 26th birthday.
 


* Crosby (538-919—1,457 in 1,148 GP) needs one point to pass Teemu Selanne (684-773—1,457 in 1,451 GP) on the League’s all-time list. Selanne scored 306 of his 1,457 career points with the original Winnipeg Jets, including 132 during his NHL record-setting rookie season in 1992-93.

* McDavid (274-502—776 in 530 GP) recorded the fifth-most points by a player before age 26 in League history, behind four Hockey Hall of Fame members. McDavid’s 776 career points were 111 more than the next-closest active skater, which was Crosby.
 


HUGHES, ZEGRAS SET TO GO HEAD-TO-HEAD ON ESPN+, HULU
Two of the League’s young stars are set to go head-to-head for the third time in the NHL as Jack Hughes and the Devils (26-12-3, 55 points) take on Trevor Zegras and the Ducks (12-26-4, 28 points) at Honda Center. The two prior meetings between Hughes and Zegras, who went No. 1 and No. 9, respectively, in the 2019 NHL Draft after skating together with USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program, were on March 12, 2022 and Oct. 18, 2022.

* Hughes was named to the Metropolitan Division roster for the 2023 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend at FLA Live Arena, while Zegras is one of the players eligible to be selected in the 2023 NHL All-Star Fan Vote presented by Guaranteed Rate. The 12 additional All-Stars will be announced by ESPN, Sportsnet and TVA during broadcast windows on Jan. 19.

* Hughes and Zegras stole the show during the 2022 adidas NHL Breakaway Challenge at T-Mobile Arena, with the former performing a magic trick to summon a smaller version of himself and the latter channeling his inner Peter LaFleur by reenacting the final scene from the 2004 movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

NBA Preview: Houston Rockets (10-31) at Sacramento Kings (22-18)

Houston Rockets big man Alperen Sengun gets a rare encore performance on the road when he and his mates duel the host Sacramento Kings in a rematch Friday night.

While most in attendance were watching Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis pursue a 22nd career triple-double, Sengun snatched a very first of his own with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Rockets’ 135-115 loss in the California capital on Wednesday.

Sabonis failed on his bid to triple-up, going for 25 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists, but joined with Sacramento’s own surprise contributor — Trey Lyles — to rally the Kings from a fourth-quarter deficit to a win not nearly as one-sided as the final score might indicate.

Paced by Sengun, the Rockets led by as many as eight and 101-100 with 8:44 to go before Lyles had 12 points in the Kings’ 35-14, game-ending flurry.

While the defeat went down simply as an eighth straight for the Rockets, it proved historic for Sengun, who at age 20 became the youngest in franchise history to record a triple-double.

He also was the first Rockets center to post a triple-double since Hakeem Olajuwon in 1997.

The most surprising aspect of the triple-double was the assist total. The second-year Turkish import had never had more than eight in an NBA game.

His teammates helped out by shooting 45.8 percent as a team and connecting on 16-for-41 from beyond the arc. Jalen Green had 26 points, while KJ Martin (9-for-13, 21 points) and Eric Gordon (6-for-12, 19 points) combined for 40 points on 15-for-25 shooting.

It wasn’t enough to offset a huge disparity in free-throw attempts. The Kings outscored the guests 26-11 at the line, getting 14 more attempts (31-17).

Sabonis led the way to the charity stripe, going 7-for-9. He got his biggest support in the scoring column from De’Aaron Fox with 24 points and Lyles with 20.

Sabonis, who is tied for third in the NBA in triple-doubles with three, missed another by one assist for the second time this season. He’s also come up one rebound short on another occasion.

He insisted afterward that he wasn’t bothered by it.

The Rockets would be happy to get Kevin Porter Jr. back for the rematch. He had five points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal in just 10 minutes before suffering a bruised left foot in Wednesday’s game.

He wasn’t around for the Kings’ late rally, and remains questionable for Friday.

Porter was coming off a 25-point outing in a loss Sunday to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Sacramento played the opener of the set without Kevin Huerter, out with an illness. The Kings hope to have him back for the rematch.

NBA Preview: Denver Nuggets (28-13) at Los Angeles Clippers (22-21)

NBA Preview: Denver Nuggets (28-13) at Los Angeles Clippers (22-21)

Kawhi Leonard is displaying signs that he has regained his All-Star form and has put his serious knee injury behind him.

Leonard looks for his third straight strong performance and also aims to score 24 or more points for the eighth time in 12 appearances when the Los Angeles Clippers host the soaring Denver Nuggets on Friday night.

Leonard tore the ACL in his right knee in June 2021 and missed all of last season. He missed more time earlier this season due to flare-ups in the knee but has recently felt healthier and his performance is showing that.

The two-time NBA Finals MVP scored 29 points during a 112-108 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday and followed up with a season-high 33 points and matched his season best of nine rebounds as Los Angeles posted a 113-101 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

The wire-to-wire triumph over the Mavericks halted a six-game slide for the Clippers.

Leonard, who played 36 minutes against the Mavericks, set the tone with 11 first-quarter points.

Leonard also has played 34 or more minutes in six of his last seven appearances. He was on the floor for a season-high 38 minutes against the Hawks.

Norman Powell added 27 points for Los Angeles against Dallas. The Clippers, who led by as many as 23 points, committed just 10 turnovers and held a 46-32 rebounding edge.

Paul George (hamstring) didn’t play against Dallas and is expected to miss his fourth straight game. Luke Kennard (calf) could miss his third in a row.

The Nuggets, who are tied for first place in the Western Conference, trounced the Clippers 122-91 in Denver on Jan. 5. The Nuggets led 66-32 at halftime before finishing the shellacking.

Denver also delivered a one-sided victory on Wednesday when it steamrolled the Phoenix Suns 126-97.

Nikola Jokic recorded 21 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists and Bones Hyland also scored 21 for the Nuggets. Hyland was 5-of-7 from 3-point range.

The victory was the fourth in a row for the Nuggets, all at home. Denver averaged 122.8 points during the homestand.

Overall, the Nuggets have won 14 of their past 17.

Denver guard Jamal Murray (left ankle) limped off the court in the fourth quarter against Phoenix, but coach Michael Malone was encouraged with the trainer’s report. Murray is listed as probable for Friday’s game.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable but has been regularly playing through the soreness. The two-time reigning MVP is averaging 24.9 points, 11 rebounds and 9.7 assists this season.

The Nuggets are 2-0 against the Clippers this season and have won seven of the past eight meetings.

NBA Preview: Orlando Magic (16-26) at Utah Jazz (21-23)

The Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic head into their Friday night showdown in Salt Lake City on the heels of wins thanks to a couple of impressive grand finale performances.

Without the fourth-quarter efforts of Utah’s Jordan Clarkson and Orlando’s Franz Wagner, their teams might not have enjoyed victories against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively, earlier this week.

Clarkson fired in nine of his team-high 32 points during a wild 43-second stretch in the final minute and a half of Utah’s 116-114 come-from-behind win.

The first four points came via a 3-pointer and ensuing free throw at 1:23, chipping into the Cavs’ five-point lead. Utah retained possession after Caris LeVert was called for a flagrant foul 1, and Clarkson then nailed three straight foul shots after LeVert fouled him again in the act of shooting beyond the arc.

A moment later, Clarkson hit a floater to put Utah up 111-107 in a nine-point whirlwind turnaround.

Donovan Mitchell figured Clarkson was in for a night earlier in the game when his former teammate scored on three consecutive possessions while Utah took a 13-point lead.

Clarkson’s big ending spoiled Mitchell’s first game back in Utah since he was traded to Cleveland in September. Mitchell scored 46 points and put the Cavs in position to win before the final minute-plus.

Lauri Markkanen, who also part of the blockbuster Mitchell trade, scored 25 points and matched his season best with 16 rebounds against his old team. And the Jazz got 13 points from Malik Beasley, Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Along with getting bragging rights over Mitchell, who received an overwhelmingly positive reception by the Jazz organization and fans, the outcome put Utah in the win column again. They had lost seven of their previous eight outings.

Meanwhile in Portland, Wagner scored 15 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter of a nice 109-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Wendell Carter Jr. contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds to help the Magic improve to 2-1 on their five-game Western Conference road trip.

Though they’re only 6-14 on the road this season, two of those victories have come on this road trip for Orlando, including an impressive 115-101 win at Golden State on Saturday.

This will be Utah’s first game against 2022 No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero. The 6-foot-10 athlete, who was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for December, averages 21.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is questionable. Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will miss his second straight game while Utah guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is questionable after missing the past five games.

NBA Preview: Phoenix Suns (21-22) at Minnesota Timberwolves (20-22)

NBA Preview: Phoenix Suns (21-22) at Minnesota Timberwolves (20-22)

The Minnesota Timberwolves hope to locate their defense on Friday when they open a three-game homestand against the injury-riddled Phoenix Suns in Minneapolis.

The Timberwolves saw a four-game winning streak go by the boards against another short-handed team in the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons had their way with Minnesota on the offensive end Wednesday, much to the chagrin of Timberwolves coach Chris Finch.

The Suns also gave the scoreboard operator a bit of a workout in the first two games of the season series. Phoenix posted a 116-107 win over Minnesota on Nov. 1 and a 129-117 victory eight days later.

Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert collected 25 points and 11 rebounds in the game on Nov. 9. Although he had 16 and 14, respectively, on Wednesday, Gobert was left searching for answers.

Minnesota may have another thing to figure out, and that’s the health of Anthony Edwards. The former top overall pick initially was ruled out for the game in the third quarter with hip soreness before he returned in the fourth.

Phoenix is struggling to figure things out after the club fell for the 10th time in 12 outings following a 126-97 setback against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.

Torrey Craig scored 16 points and Josh Okogie added 14 off the bench for the Suns, who played without Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain), Landry Shamet (right hip soreness), Chris Paul (sore right hip), Cameron Payne (right foot sprain), Devin Booker (left groin strain) and Cam Johnson (torn right meniscus).

Despite the injuries, Phoenix coach Monty Williams said he feels confident that the team can record positive results on its four-game road trip. The Suns opened the trek with a 125-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday before falling flat against Denver.
