The battle for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs takes center stage Saturday when the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Memphis Grizzlies. The Clippers enter as the fourth seed based on their Pacific Division crown, but the fifth-place Grizzlies own a better record by one game and would be awarded home-court if that remains the case and the two teams meet in the first round. Both teams have three games remaining.

Also at stake for both Los Angeles and Memphis is a pursuit of third-seeded Denver, which has the same record as the Grizzlies and is one game up on the Clippers. The scenarios are enough to make the head spin, but both teams can grab hold of their destiny with a victory. Los Angeles has taken two of the first three meetings and enters having won four straight overall after a 96-93 win in New Orleans on Friday. Memphis, which has won 13 straight at home, survived a late swoon to win 82-78 in Houston on Friday.

Los Angeles Clippers (53-26): The final score in the win over New Orleans suggests a hard-fought road victory over a team with nothing to lose. In actuality, Los Angeles played some extremely sluggish basketball for the bulk of the game before a phenomenal rally in the fourth. The Clippers somehow managed to score 31 points in the final 6:52 to save themselves from what would’ve been a damaging defeat. Los Angeles allowed a shorthanded Hornets squad to grab 19 offensive boards and made just 7-of-26 3-pointers.

Memphis Grizzlies (54-25): In a matchup between Memphis’ vaunted defense and Houston’s league-leading offense, the Grizzlies were in charge on Friday. They limited the Rockets to 31.1 percent shooting while committing only seven turnovers. If not for a dry spell of over five minutes down the stretch, Memphis would’ve run away with what ended up being its seventh win in eight games. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph had 15 points apiece for the Grizzlies, whose last home loss came Feb. 5 against Phoenix.

1. Gasol led five players in double figures with 21 points as Memphis won the previous meeting between the teams on March 13 in Los Angeles.

2. The Grizzlies have held all eight opponents during their 7-1 stretch under 100 points.

3. Clippers G Chauncey Billups (groin) sat out his seventh straight game Friday.

 VEGAS PREDICTION: Grizzlies 90, Clippers 86

The New York Knicks have the longest active winning streak in the NBA, but they’ll need a ninth consecutive victory when they travel to Miami for a showdown with the Heat on Tuesday if they want to lay claim to the title of the league’s hottest team. The Knicks will try to claim the season series from the Heat and move one step closer to locking up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. New York is one percentage point behind the second-place Indiana Pacers and is 11 1/2 games behind Miami.

The Heat have won 29 of 30 — and 17 straight at home — after winning 88-86 at San Antonio on Sunday despite playing without stars LeBron James (hamstring) and Dwyane Wade (ankle) and starting point guard Mario Chalmers (ankle). All three are listed as questionable for Tuesday. The Knicks might be without All-Star center Tyson Chandler, who is listed as questionable after missing the past 10 games with a bulging disc.

 New York Knicks (46-26): New York is poised to finish strong, as the Knicks went 12-6 in March to put themselves in position for a 50-win season, a division title and potentially the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. “We all knew it was going to be a tough month and we’re playing like we’re trying to get something accomplished,” coach Mike Woodson told reporters. “And that’s winning our division and trying to secure that second spot.” That motivation has resulted in dominant play during the winning streak, as the Knicks have averaged 104 points over the past eight games while allowing 91.5 points per contest.

Miami Heat (58-15): At times, Chris Bosh has been the forgotten man among Miami’s “Big Three,” but he made his presence known with a game-winning 3-pointer against the Spurs and the Heat’s supporting cast showed Miami is not a pushover, even without James and Wade. “We are the defending champs no matter who we put out there,” Bosh told reporters. “We are still the Miami Heat. We believe in ourselves. Each one of these guys is a professional.” Miami does have some incentive to get its stars back in the lineup soon with the best record in the NBA still in play — though barely. The Heat are 3 1/2 games clear of San Antonio with nine to play.

1. Miami is trying to match a franchise record with its 18th consecutive home win. The Heat won 18 straight at home from Jan. 23-April 5, 2005.

2. New York star Carmelo Anthony has averaged 31 points in two games against the Heat this season. He sat out the Knicks’ 112-92 win at Miami on Dec. 6.

3. James needs 18 points to reach 21,000 in his career. James has scored in double figures in 491 consecutive games, including all 213 he has played for the Heat.

PREDICTION: Heat 101, Knicks 97

The first of the two National Invitation Tournament semifinal games at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday figures to be a high-scoring and entertaining one. Baylor comes in averaging 93.3 in its three previous NIT wins while Brigham Young is averaging 86.3 and scored 90 points in victories over Washington and Mercer. The two teams already met once this season with Baylor claiming a 79-64 victory Dec. 21 in Waco.

The Bears also defeated the Cougars a year earlier in Provo 86-83. This marks only the second time in school history that BYU has played a game in April. The Cougars lost to Colorado 16-10 on April 2, 1903 in Provo. “I encouraged the guys today to score a couple more points than maybe that team did,” Cougars coach Dave Rose joked to the Salt Lake Tribune.

BYU Cougars (24-11): The Cougars looked at the NIT as a chance for redemption and have made the most of it following a 72-69 loss to San Diego in the quarterfinals of the West Coast Conference tournament which snuffed out any chance for an NCAA at-large berth. Brigham Young, which struggled with its 3-point shooting much of the season, connected for a season-best 11 treys in its 79-62 quarterfinal victory at Southern Miss on Wednesday. “We went to six straight NCAA Tournaments before this year, and I don’t remember being any more excited than we are right now,” Rose told the Salt Lake Tribune. “I mean, this is really good for our team. It is really good for our program.” Sophomore guard Tyler Haws leads the Cougars in scoring (21.6) and is shooting 38.4 percent from 3-point range while lanky 6-9 senior forward Brandon Davies (17.8) is an NBA prospect who has 24 career double-doubles.

Baylor Bears (21-14): The Bears shot a school-record 69.6 percent (16-of-23) from 3-point range in its 112-66 victory over Long Beach State in its NIT opener. The Bears had five turnovers in their 79-68 quarterfinal victory over Providence, tying for the fewest in the 10-year Scott Drew coaching era. Senior point guard Pierre Jackson, who leads the Big 12 in scoring (19.7) and assists (6.9), set an NIT record with 16 assists in the Bears’ 89-86 second round victory over Arizona State and has scored in double figures in 41 of his last 42 games. Junior forward Cory Jefferson (12.8) leads the Big 12 in field goal percentage (60.1) while 7-1 freshman center Isaiah Austin has 10 double-doubles and ranks third in the Big 12 in rebounding (8.3).

1. Haws, the WCC scoring leader, has scored 20 or more points in 24 games this season.

2. Baylor G Brady Heslip is shooting 58 percent (30-of-52) from 3-point range in seven career postseason games for Baylor.

3. PG Matt Carlino is averaging 17.7 points, nine assists and 6.3 rebounds in three NIT games for Brigham Young while also connecting on 13-of-29 3-pointers (44.8 percent).

PREDICTION: Baylor 86, Brigham Young 82

Virginia advanced with a 68-50 win over St. John’s on Sunday. Justin Anderson scored a career-high 18 points and Virginia extended its home winning streak to 19 games. Fellow freshman Taylor Barnette added a career-high 13 points for Virginia (23-11) as first-year Cavaliers scored 46 points, including 15 during a pivotal 20-3 run in the first half. Barnette scored the last eight in a span of 90 seconds. The Cavaliers shot 50 percent or better (54.5%) from the field for first time since shooting 54.2 percent against Georgia Tech on Feb. 24. The Cavaliers are on their longest home winning streak since they won 34 in a row from 1980-83.

Iowa beat Stony Brook 75-63 on Friday. Roy Devyn Marble scored 28 points to lead Iowa. Aaron White added 13 points and seven rebounds for Iowa (23-12). With the game tied 41-41, Iowa went on a 13-3 run and never trailed again. Mike Gesell, who did not start because of a foot injury, came off the bench to spark the run with a 3-pointer and an assist to Melsahn Basabe on a dunk.

Marble, son of Iowa’s all-time leading scorer Roy Marble, leads the team in scoring at 14.8 points per game, while sophomore forward Aaron White is averaging 13.1 points and a team-leading 6.1 rebounds per game. Marble and freshman guard Anthony Clemmons have 100 assists each.

The Cavaliers, who claimed NIT championships in 1980 and 1992, are seeking their third NIT semifinal appearance and first win (0-1) against Iowa in a series that dates back to 1997. The Hawkeyes defeated the Cavaliers, 73-60, in the 1997 NCAA Tournament in Salt Lake City, Utah. Virginia and Iowa have two common 2012-13 opponents in Virginia Tech and Wisconsin. The Cavaliers went 1-0 against the Badgers and 2-0 against the Hokies, while the Hawkeyes were 1-1 against Wisconsin and 0-1 against Virginia Tech.

Providence advanced with a 77-68 win over Robert Morris, the team that upset top-seeded Kentucky in the first round. Vincent Council scored seven of his 12 points in the closing 5:21, including a key 3-point play on his only basket of the game, to carry Providence to the win. LaDontae Henton led the Friars (19-14) with 21 points and Bryce Cotton had 20. Council added 10 assists and was 10 of 13 from the free-throw line despite shooting 1 of 9 from the floor.

Baylor beat Arizona State 89-86. Pierre Jackson had 26 points and had 16 assists, Cory Jefferson added 21 points, Brady Heslip had 14 and Isaiah Austin 13 for Baylor (20-14). Jackson, who was 17 of 21 at the line, made six of eight free throws in the final 55 seconds. Jackson’s 16 assists on Friday vs. Arizona State were the most in the NIT’s 76-year history.

Despite having an all-Big 12 point guard in Jackson and a potential top-10 NBA pick in 7-foot freshman center Isaiah Austin, Baylor struggled to a 9-9 finish in the Big 12. The Bears lost six of their last eight games and were knocked out of the Big 12 tournament in the first round. The Bears are 12-4 in postseason play under Scott Drew and have won multiple games in each of their last four postseason trips, losing to the eventual tournament champions each of the last three times entering this season. Baylor has advanced to the quarterfinals in each of their last four postseason tournaments – the Bears went to the 2009 NIT finals and the 2010 and 2012 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.

The Bulls have been off since winning 104-97 at Minnesota on Sunday. Nate Robinson had 22 points and 10 assists and Carlos Boozer added 19 points and 12 rebounds. Luol Deng scored 17 points and Taj Gibson had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls. With Joakim Noah sidelined again by plantar fasciitis, Chicago still outrebounded Minnesota 52-32, including 20 offensive rebounds. Chicago also played without Richard Hamilton (lower back), Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) and, of course, Rose, who is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Hamilton is likely done for the year, while Belinelli and Noah will be game-time decisions for this one. Who knows with Rose, but it’s a stretch to imagine he would make his season debut against the Heat.

The Heat beat Orlando 108-94 on Monday. LeBron James finished with 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, throwing down a dunk to start a huge, swift run that decided everything and the Heat won their 27th straight game. That dunk — which came one possession after James badly missed a layup and got frustrated — started what became a 20-2 run over merely a 4 1/2-minute portion of the third and fourth quarters, and it put the Heat in control for good. Mario Chalmers scored 17, and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen each added 12 for Miami, giving Heat coach Erik Spoelstra his 250th win.

Dwyane Wade missed his second straight contest with a sore right knee, one that he said before the game had been bothering him periodically since March 9 and then flared up after a collision against Boston last week. He had an MRI exam over the weekend to rule out any major problems and plans to play at Chicago.

The Heat won the most recent meeting 86-67 at the United Center on Feb. 21, the ninth win of Miami’s current 25-game winning streak. The Bulls took the first meeting of this season, a 96-89 win on Jan. 4, behind 27 points and 12 boards from Boozer. Chicago and Miami split the season series last year 2-2, with each team winning both games on its home court. LeBron led the Heat in scoring three times versus Chicago last season and in both meetings this season; he has scored at least 30points in four of his past six games against the Bulls. Chicago is 30-15 all-time against the Heat in the Windy City.

Danilo Gallinari had 24 points for the Nuggets, who were without starting point guard Ty Lawson (right heel injury) for the third consecutive game, but he’s expected back Wednesday. Denver lost for the first time since Feb. 22 against Washington after matching its 1969-70 ABA team’s record of 15 straight victories. Wilson Chandler returned for the Nuggets after missing two games with a left shoulder injury and finished with 11 points. Kenneth Faried added 13 points.

San Antonio lost 96-95 at Houston on Sunday as James Harden hit a jumper with 4.5 seconds left. Tony Parker scored 23 points, including 10 in a row to put San Antonio ahead with just under 2 minutes left. The Spurs led 95-94 when Harden got the ball from Omer Asik, drove to the free throw line and hit the winning jumper between Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard. Duncan had 17 points and seven rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 42 percent (33 of 78), gave away 18 turnovers and were held below 100 points for just the third time in 12 games.

This will be the third game out of the four game season series between San Antonio and Denver. The Spurs won the first matchup 126-100 at the AT&T Center on 11/17 as six Spurs scored in double figures. Manu Ginobili led San Antonio with 20 points and 4 assists off the bench.

The Lakers were beaten 109-103 on Monday in Golden State. Kobe Bryant scored 36 points and Steve Nash had 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in an otherwise lackluster Lakers effort. Los Angeles has lost three straight games, and the latest was never even close. Dwight Howard had 11 points and 15 rebounds, and Pau Gasol was held to seven points and eight rebounds as he works his way back from a right foot injury.

The Lakers had won six straight against the Warriors, including the two previous games this season. Metta World Peace left the game with a strained left knee and did not play after halftime. He is questionable for Wednesday. Antawn Jamison and Earl Clark could each pick up some time if World Peace sits, or the Lakers could go small and give extended run to Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks with Kobe shifting to small forward. Meeks started the second half of Monday’s game after World Peace exited the game, scoring 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

Minnesota played Tuesday night at Detroit. In a 104-97 loss Sunday against Chicago, Derrick Williams broke out of his slump with a career high-tying 28 points on 11-of-18 shooting against the Bulls. The second-year forward had averaged 8.0 points while missing 21 of 30 shots over his previous three games. Nikola Pekovic had 15 points and eight rebounds, while Ricky Rubio added 15 and eight assists.

The Lakers lead the season series with Minnesota 2-0 and have swept each of the last five season series with the Timberwolves (2011-12: 4-0, 2010-11: 4-0, 2009-10: 3-0, 2008-09: 4-0, 2007-08 3-0).

At Staples Center, the Lakers are 22-4 all-time against the Timberwolves and have won their last 13 straight in Los Angeles. In Minnesota, the Lakers have won 10 straight at Target Center.

These two teams played Monday in Anaheim, with the Sharks winning 5-3 – the Ducks’ third straight home loss after winning 13 straight there. Brent Burns and Martin Havlat each had a goal and an assist in the win. Havlat snapped a 15-game goal drought, Joe Pavelski scored just his second goal in 19 games and added a late assist, and James Sheppard scored his first goal of the season with 9:56 to play in San Jose’s final stop on a five-game trip. Antti Niemi stopped 24 shots for San Jose, which took a 3-0 lead before holding on in the second of three meetings in 10 days for the California rivals. The Ducks beat San Jose 5-3 a week ago in Anaheim.

Emerson Etem scored his second career goal and Francois Beauchemin also scored for the Ducks. Corey Perry scored for Anaheim with 1:40 to play, but Dan Boyle scored on an empty net for San Jose with 28 seconds left. Viktor Fasth made 34 saves for the Ducks, who have hit the first skid in their remarkable season. Beauchemin scored his fifth goal of the season Monday and boosted his plus/minus to a plus-21, tied with Sheldon Souray for best on the Ducks and best in the NHL among defensemen.

The Sharks recently traded defenseman Douglas Murray. With four games before the trade deadline, their performance will dictate just how aggressive the Sharks may be in trading more veterans for young talent or draft picks. Ryane Clowe, who is another unrestricted free agent, is likely the next to go. If things go sideways in the next week, defenseman Dan Boyle will be moved too.

This is the final meeting of the season with the teams tied 2-2. San Jose won the lone game on its rink, 3-2 in a shootout in late January. The Sharks begin a season-high seven-game stay at HP Pavilion, where they’re 8-1-4 overall and 3-0-3 since a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks on Feb. 5. Anaheim is 2-0-3 in its past five road games.
