NBA Power Rankings: Nuggets stay on top, 76ers climb up to second

14 days ago NBC Sports

Tough road trip the Nuggets are on, they have the Bucks on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday then travel to face Joel Embiid and the 76ers. Two good tests for the hot 76ers coming up, The Nets Wednesday night and the Nuggets on Saturday. Domantas Sabonis should be a lock to be an All-Star, but there are two questions about the Kings and the All-Star Game next month. That question will fall to the coaches (who vote in the All-Star Game reserves). Recent losses to the Nuggets, 76ers and Lakers — where Thomas Bryant scored a career-high 31 — have highlighted that fact.

Sixers vs. Bucks: James Harden, Sixers storm back but fall to 0-2

Later, Rivers didn’t like Danuel House Jr. cutting across the baseline and waved him out of the paint as Embiid missed a mid-range jumper. As a team, the Sixers didn’t have the bounce-back defensive effort they wanted in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo’s first miss was a mid-post jumper that spun around the rim and out with 2:36 left in the second quarter. Niang took Tucker’s place alongside the Sixers’ other starters in the middle of the second quarter. With Reed as the backup five, Harden again started the second quarter next to four bench players.

Bulls' DeMar DeRozan-led comeback falls short against Wizards

But unlike his miraculous heave last New Year's Day, that attempt rimmed out, and the Wizards exited with a 102-100 victory. The Bulls missed plenty of opportunities to exploit interior mismatches for Nikola Vučević in the season opener against the Heat. The Bulls notched an impressive win over the Heat in the season opener without Zach LaVine, but missed his scoring in this one. DeRozan and Vučević combined for 56 of the Bulls' 100 points on 16-for-37 shooting; the rest of the team scored just 44 while shooting 17-for-42. After a silent season opener, it was another invisible first half for Williams, who hit a corner 3-pointer and pulled down zero rebounds in 14 minutes.

10 observations: Max Domi, Blackhawks rally for overtime win vs. Red Wings

The Blackhawks rallied to beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime at the United Center on Friday in their home opener. For the second straight game, the Blackhawks overcame a two-goal deficit and won, even though they needed overtime to do it. Terrific energy in the building, with dueling "Let's Go Red Wings" and "Detroit Sucks" chants all night. Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek left the game after the second period because of an apparent injury and did not return. When the three of them are on the ice at the same time at even strength, the Red Wings are outshooting opponents 22-14, per Natural Stat Trick.

Who's going to be the first team to beat the Eagles?

Because the Eagles are 6-0, and if they keep winning, they’re going to be favored every week. Who’s going to be the first team to knock them off? They’re 25-2 in their last 27 games against Washington as a winning team when Washington is a losing team. The Eagles are 21-6 in their last 27 games against the Giants, but this is a different Giants team. The Eagles might score 40 in this one, especially if the Saints – 2-5 going into last night’s game against Arizona - have been eliminated.

Celtics’ Grant Williams suspended one game for bumping referee

LOS ANGELES — Last season, the Suns were the 64-win championship favorite in April, until they weren’t in May. Maybe it’s because the historic, embarrassing blowout that ended last season for the Suns is burned into our memory. “[Booker] and Chris worked out a lot this summer…” coach Monty Williams said. “I think he’s not just a special player, but he’s an elite competitor,” Williams said of Booker. Four games into the season, the Suns sit at 3-1 (their only loss in the last seconds to red-hot Portland).

Warriors-Mavericks first clash lives up to hype despite late controversy

And for the Warriors, it was their bench that can let them fly home on a positive note despite the loss. All season long, the second unit has made fans, coaches and teammates alike bite their fingernails with hopes that things won't get too bad. An identity is being formed for the second unit after 22 games. "I just think it's a different level of comfort," Green said when asked what has been the difference for the bench and second unit lately. The entire second unit was pretty much positive, and that first unit was negative.

Kristaps Porzingis brings the star power in Wizards' win over Jazz

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards beat the Utah Jazz 121-112 on Saturday night at Capital One Arena. On Saturday, Kuzma and Porzingis combined to lead the way and combined for 54 of the team's 121 points. Porzingis (31 points) returned to being the focal point on offense and kept Utah's defense busy all night long. There were several key moments for Porzingis in this game as he was the one directing traffic in the high post. However, the Wizards did what neither the Grizzlies, Lakers or Clippers have accomplished this year by beating the Jazz.
