Preview Roundups
January 08, 2017
Philadelphia at Brooklyn 12:00 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets get their best chance to snap their latest slide when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 76ers are only 1 1/2 games ahead of the NBA-worst Nets in the Eastern Conference standings but are playing much stronger of late after two wins and a tight loss at Boston on Friday.
Washington at Milwaukee 2:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards have crawled back into the middle of the Eastern Conference race on the strength of an exceptional run at home, but their play on the road remains an issue. The Wizards will try to end that trend when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday in the fourth meeting between the teams in less than a month.
Miami at L.A. Clippers 3:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat are losers of seven of their last eight games and are languishing at the bottom of the Southeast Division, but that hasn't taken away their fight. The Heat will try to keep their players out of any physical confrontations and find a way into the win column when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Houston at Toronto 6:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets survived a rare off-night by guard James Harden their last time out, but they might need their superstar to show up when they visit the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Harden did hand out 10 assists in Friday's 100-93 win at Orlando, but he scored only 14 points - his lowest total in nearly two months - and missed all eight of his 3-point tries.
Utah at Memphis 8:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies closed a long road trip with a memorable win and will try to build some momentum when they host the Utah Jazz on Sunday. After dropping two of the first three contests on their four-game trek, the Grizzlies rallied from a 24-point deficit before defeating almighty Golden State in overtime 128-119 on Friday.
Cleveland at Phoenix 8:30 PM ET
The defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers made themselves better on Saturday, when a deal with the Atlanta Hawks was completed bringing veteran shooting guard Kyle Korver to the team. Korver is expected to make his debut when the Cavaliers visit the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
Golden State at Sacramento 9:00 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors blew a 24-point lead and lost in overtime at home on Friday, but it might have been a blessing in disguise. The Warriors will make some tweaks in practice and try to bounce back when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
Detroit at Portland 9:00 PM ET
Damian Lillard returned from a five-game absence due to an ankle injury
and showed no hesitation while guiding the Portland Trail Blazers to a
118-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Lillard got an
unexpected extra day of rest when Saturday's scheduled game was
postponed due to severe weather and will try to guide the Trail Blazers
to back-to-back wins when the game is made up on Sunday.
Orlando at L.A. Lakers 9:30 PM ET
The Orlando Magic will attempt to begin turning their season around as they open a daunting six-game road trip on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Magic followed up a promising 3-1 stretch with four losses in their last five games, capped by a 100-93 setback against the Houston Rockets on Friday night in which they shot 41.8 percent from the field.
