Highlight Performances: Kyle Korver, CHI– If your looking for an example of a pure shooter, then Korver is your guy. He has been debatably one of the best shooters in the game for quite awhile now. Although his numbers and minutes have diminished this season, with Richard Hamilton out again with a groin injury, Korver stepped up big time, scoring 18 points on 5-7 shooting from 3 point range. With Ronnie Brewer struggling, Korver could find his way into some serious

Tonight’s best game: Chicago at Orlando
There are a dozen games on the slate Friday night, including the Mike D’Antoni Death Watch in Washington. However, the best of the bunch has the Chicago Bulls taking their five-game winning streak to Orlando, where their primary concern may not be Magic center Dwight Howard. Yes, Howard has been his usual monstrous self lately, ignoring the trade rumors to average 20 points, 18 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in his last five games. Right now, the best strategy appears is to
Sheridan: D’Antoni on the hot seat in New York
If Mike D’Antoni’s New York Knicks do not defeat the winless Washington Wizards tonight … Well, as Moke Hamilton pointed out in his Friday column about the Knicks, there is no telling what Jim Dolan might do. But there certainly is a growing vulture culture surrounding the fourth-best team in the Eastern Conference’s worst division following the Knicks’ brutal home loses to the Raptors and Bobcats, and D’Antoni does not enjoy the comfort level he once had when Donnie Walsh was the
Hamilton: A must-win for Knicks tonight vs. winless Wizards

Kings pull off stunning comeback; Portland best in West
And the best team in the Western Conference is … Ah, you don’t want to read about the Portland Trail Blazers, do you? You’d rather fawn over the Miami Heat for their 3 1/2-hour, triple-overtime victory in Atlanta, or dump on the Dallas Mavericks and those who said two weeks ago that they were the best team in the NBA. Perhaps you’d prefer to postulate over where Dwight Howard will end up (just a thought, but if I’m Rich DeVos, and I’m 85
Fantasy Spin: Thursday, Jan. 5
Highlight Performances: Chris Bosh, MIA– When Bosh first signed with the Heat, most people expected Bosh to be, well, what he has been through the first 8 games this season. He’s averaging 20 points a game, and could easily be averaging much more had he not had such a pedestrian game on the first night of the season. Bosh seems much more comfortable this season, and he stepped up in a big way in Thursday Night’s game, scoring 33 points along
Paul Westphal fired by Sacramento Kings
For those of you who had Mike D’Antoni in the first coach to be fired pool, we have some bad news. Sacramento Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof pulled a fast one today, canning coach Paul Westphal just seven games into the season. Keith Smart will coach the team tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, who will be without Andrew Bogut again (he is in Australia dealing with a personal matter and won’t return until next week.) Westphal went 51-120 in his two-plus
Tonight’s best game: LA Lakers at Portland
The good news for LA: Andrew Bynum is back and playing out of his mind, recording the first 20-20 game of his career two nights ago against Houston. Now the bad: The Lakers are heading to the Rose Garden, where Kobe Bryant’s career record is 6-23. Tonight’s best game is in Portland, where the LA Lakers make their first, and only, visit of this season at 10:30 ET in the second game of a nice doubleheader on TNT. Preceding that matchup, Atlanta hosts
