Preview Roundups
January 12, 2015
New Orleans at Boston 7:30 PM ET
While both are linked in a potentially massive four-team roster shuffle, New Orleans and Boston meet on the court Sunday in New England. According to reports, the Celtics have agreed to send leading scorer Jeff Green to Memphis in a three-team trade that would ship Pelicans guard Austin Rivers to Boston, which then might send Rivers on to the Los Angeles Clippers. Amid the chatter, the Celtics ended a 1-2 road trip with a 109-96 loss at Toronto on Saturday, losing for the ninth time in 11 games.
Houston at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Houston Rockets got caught in a schedule quirk and will head back to New York on Monday to visit the Brooklyn Nets. The Rockets were in New York earning a 24-point win over the Knicks on Thursday before heading home for one game Saturday and hitting the road again. The Nets are hoping to take advantage of that road-weary club and end a slide that reached five straight with a loss at Detroit on Saturday.
Detroit at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Detroit Pistons aim for their first six-game road winning streak in nearly eight years when they travel to face the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The Pistons have won eight of nine overall since waiving Josh Smith and had just enough in the tank Friday for a 98-93 win over Brooklyn, their fourth game in five days. The Raptors are looking to match their longest winning streak in the series with a fifth consecutive victory and have won six of their last seven against the Pistons.
Orlando at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
Two of the most versatile and talented post players in the league will meet after career-high scoring nights when the Chicago Bulls host the struggling Orlando Magic on Monday. Chicago’s Pau Gasol registered 46 points in the 95-87 victory over Milwaukee on Saturday as the Bulls avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season. Nikola Vucevic, who leads the league with 22 double-doubles, recorded 34 points as Orlando dropped its sixth straight contest 103-92 at Portland on Saturday.
