Primetime Preview: Kansas City Chiefs Vs Las Vegas Raiders (Saturday Evening Football)

by Angel Ortiz | Jan 7, 2023 | Featured, NFL

Week 18 of the NFL season will kickoff with an AFC West Divisional matchup between the (13-3) Kansas City Chiefs and (6-10) Las Vegas Raiders.

The Chiefs have a guaranteed spot in the AFC playoff picture but it’s a matter of what seed they will get on Saturday. A victory for the Chiefs will only benefit them and pull them closer to obtaining the first seed in the AFC playoff picture. The Chiefs offense will look to continue its dominant play, if the chiefs can lead big before the half we could potentially see Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce pulled from the game early to avoid any injuries. As for the Chiefs defense they’ll have to cover Davante Adams who was dominant last week.

The Raiders season is all but over but a victory against their division rivals would be a good way to end their season and bring momentum to them going forward. With the Raiders benching Derek Carr the Raiders definitely have a lot to think about heading into the offseason. Davante Adams is questionable heading into Saturday’s matchup between the chiefs with an illness. The Raiders defense will have to go up against a tough Chiefs offense this Saturday which could potentially lead them to trailing early in the game.

Score Prediction: Chiefs Win (28-10)

Timberwolves Take Down The Short Handed Clippers (128-115)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | Jan 7, 2023 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Timberwolves have had a week to continue to remember as they’re on a 2 game winning streak coming into tonight. Minnesota has been playing to their competition and has been dominating in every phase of the game. This week the Timberwolves beat Denver & Portland and added the Clippers to that list tonight. The Clippers were coming in on a back to back and didn’t play Paul George/Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers didn’t have much working for them tonight. They did get a good game out of Norman Powell but it wasn’t able to translate into the win. Powell was the leading scorer with 21 points for the Clippers but tonight was the Timberwolves night.

In the game, Minnesota was able to take advantage of the fact that the Clippers didn’t have their star players. Rudy Gobert was able to go to work in the paint against Zubac as he showcased his dominance. When Rudy can attack the paint and beat everyone down to the floor he’s unstoppable. Tonight the Timberwolves were able to feed the big man as he was getting alley-oop dunks and was able to impose his will in the game. It didn’t matter who the Clippers put on Rudy tonight as the ball was placed exactly where the big man needed it to be. Rudy was also able to scare the opposing offense in the paint as he was able to block multiple shots. If Minnesota can unlock the potential that Rudy has on the defensive end like they did tonight it will turn into offense. Rudy Gobert was able to finish the game with 25 points and 21 rebounds. Rudy was able to get his 9th 20/20 game in his career and he was a man among boys in the paint tonight. The players really made a true effort to feed Rudy and feature him tonight which was shown to work.

D’Angelo Russell played a major part in this game as well with his offense. DLo was able to add his own 25 points, with 4 assists and 5 rebounds tonight. Russell came out clicking on all cylinders as he was making some tough shots over the Clipper’s defenders. The Clippers had Reggie Jackson/John Wall guarding him but once that ice is in his veins it doesn’t matter who’s in front of him. Russell has proven he’s one of the best clutch shooters in the NBA and lives for those moments. When Anthony Edwards went down with his hip injury you can tell they leaned on D’Angelo. Jaden McDaniels was another player who was able to get his game going as he was able to add 18 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. When the Wolves play a collective game like this on both ends they are a tough team to put away.

The Timberwolves will be in Houston on Sunday and keep it locked here for updates on Anthony Edwards status for the game.

Anthony Edwards Hot Shooting Continues As Minnesota Beats Portland (113-106)

The Minnesota Timberwolves are fresh off beating the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Next, they had the Portland Trail Blazers as the Timberwolves tried to slow down Damian Lillard. The Timberwolves got D’Angelo Russell back in the lineup after missing the game with an illness.

We saw one of the best jobs done on Damian Lillard tonight in a long time. Yes, Dame still got his numbers but the Timberwolves made him work for every basket and even though they fouled a lot tonight he wasn’t able to find a rhythm in the game really. One person that did find his rhythm early in this game was Jerami Grant as he was able to start the game with 20 points before halftime but then left the game with a thigh contusion to come back later. I don’t know if the injury had an impact on how he felt because he finished with only 6 points in the second half but he was going off. Usually, it’s Dame Time for Portland but it was nice to see Lillard/Simons were able to get that help. Lillard was slow to start out but started getting to the free throw line in the second half which got his offense going. Damian Lillard was able to finish the game with 27 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds tonight.

The Timberwolves on the other hand were led by Anthony Edwards who has been sensational all season long. Edwards has been the one consistent Timberwolves player who you can count on with anything it feels like. Tonight he was able to put the Timberwolves on his back with ease. It didn’t matter if Anthony Edwards was being double-teamed or not he still made the right basketball play. The growth in Anthony Edward’s game has been on full display because he can get his teammates involved while still trying to attack the defense. Edward’s finished the game with 32 points, 3 assists, and 7 rebounds.

One of the things that stands out the most is that Anthony Edwards has been running the plays down the stretch and making tough decisions. Anthony has been able to make the right basketball play night in and night out and that showed against Portland. Rudy Gobert was able to add 17 points and 12 rebounds on the night. Gobert has been dominant in the painted area but he can be more vicious in the paint with dunks/putbacks. Once this whole team gets together injury free it will be a scary sight. A good sight to see was Taurean Prince as he came right in and looked like he didn’t miss a beat. The Timberwolves have a special treat with a special talent they just have to put it all together.

The Timberwolves play against the Clippers on Friday as they go through the gauntlet of playoff teams during this stretch run.
