Hoops roundup: Detroit Mercy moves to .500 with victory over Milwaukee

Detroit News staff and wires

Sophomore TJ Nadeau scored 25 points and senior Orlando Lovejoy added 24 as the University of Detroit Mercy beat the Milwaukee Panthers, 91-86, on Friday in Detroit.

The win was the third in a row for the Titans as they moved to 13-13 on the season and 10-7 in the Horizon League, where they are still in the hunt for a home playoff game.

Nadeau was 8-of-14 from the floor and a career-tying 6-of-10 from three, and Lovejoy was 7-of-13 overall and a perfect 10-of-10 at the charity stripe with seven rebounds and four assists.

UDM will look to extend its winning streak to four in a row when it hosts Green Bay on Senior Day Saturday. Game time is set for 1 p.m.

Shorthanded Thunder get past Nets

Jared McCain scored 21 off the bench and Chet Holmgren had 15 points and seven rebounds to help lift the shorthanded Oklahoma City Thunder to a 105-86 home win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

The Thunder won for the third time in four games, while the Nets have lost three straight and six of their last eight.

Oklahoma City was again without reigning Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous- Alexander, who is sidelined due to an abdominal strain, and Jalen Williams, who aggravated a right hamstring strain just before the All-Star break.

Michael Porter Jr. led Brooklyn with 22 points and nine rebounds but was just 1 of 9 from beyond the arc. Nolan Traore added 17 points and Day’Ron Sharpe chipped in 12 points and eight boards.

No. 7 Purdue sinks rival Indiana

Trey Kaufman-Renn scored 20 points and Fletcher Loyer and Omer Mayer each added 18 as No. 7 Purdue routed visiting Indiana 93-64 on Friday in West Lafayette, Ind.

Purdue (22-5, 12-4 Big Ten), which has won five of its last six, never trailed while sending Indiana (17-10, 8-8) to its second straight loss.

The Boilermakers led by as many as 34, shooting 64.7% from the field, compared to 52.2% for the Hoosiers, and held a plus-15 edge on the glass.

Loyer and Mayer both drilled four 3-pointers while combining for just one miss from long range.

Lamar Wilkerson led Indiana with 20 points while Tayton Conerway (12), Tucker DeVries (11) and Reed Bailey (10) followed in double figures. Conerway dished seven assists. Sam Alexis led the Hoosiers with three rebounds.

Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis Antetokounmpo back tonight?

Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis Antetokounmpo back tonight?

NEW ORLEANS – The Milwaukee Bucks conclude their two-game season series with the New Orleans Pelicans tonight at the Smoothie King Center, and the Bucks look to match their longest winning streak of the season against one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Milwaukee is 23-30 overall and in 11^th place in the Eastern Conference but come into the contest against New Orleans having won two straight and five of six. The Bucks’ longest, and only, win streak of the season was three in a row from Feb. 3-6. They beat the Pelicans in overtime on Feb. 4 as part of that run.

New Orleans is 15-41 and tied with three other teams for the second-fewest wins on the season. The Pelicans did win two of three heading into the break, however.

Is Giannis playing?

No.

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting closer to a return from the soleus muscle strain in his right calf, though, as he participated in half of a practice Feb. 19. Antetokounmpo said at the all-star game Feb. 15 that he feels 100% but admitted he needed to go through some live practices before being cleared. Antetokounmpo re-injured the calf Jan. 23.

What is the Bucks record without Giannis?

8-15

Milwaukee has won five of those games since Antetokounmpo reinjured the calf Jan. 23.

Bucks vs. Pelicans has NBA draft implications

Beyond just securing a much-needed victory, it is in the Bucks’ best interest to beat the Pelicans from an offseason perspective. The Pelicans have the right to swap draft position with the Bucks as a remainder from the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade.

That means if the Bucks were to earn the No. 1 pick, the Pelicans would swap their higher position.

Unfortunately for New Orleans, it traded its right to that swap to Atlanta. That means the Pelicans are not in a position to “tank” and win fewer games than the Bucks.

Heading into league action Feb. 20, the Pelicans had a 52.1% chance of winning a top four pick in the draft lottery. The Bucks had 13.9% chance.
