Preview Roundups
January 15, 2017
Minnesota at Dallas 2:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves brought in head coach Tom Thibodeau over the summer in large part because of his reputation as a defensive mastermind, and the young roster might finally be buying into his philosophy. The Timberwolves will try to push their winning streak to four straight when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
New York at Toronto 3:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors are ripping their way through the Atlantic Division, and the struggling New York Knicks are next up on the schedule. The Raptors will try to post their third straight win over a divisional rival when they host the Knicks on Sunday.
Milwaukee at Atlanta 3:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks have not won more than 41 games in the past five seasons, but visit the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday almost halfway to that number. Fueled by sensational breakout seasons from forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker, Milwaukee sits in fifth place in the Eastern Conference after Friday’s victory over Miami, the Bucks’ fifth win in the past seven games and 20th triumph of 2016-17.
Houston at Brooklyn 6:00 PM ET
The NBA-worst Brooklyn Nets just allowed an opponent to set a franchise record for points in a regulation game and are about to face an even more potent offense. The Nets will try to snap a nine-game slide and get some stops on the defensive end when they host the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
Oklahoma City at Sacramento 9:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder did not get off to the best start on their six-game road trip, and the challenges only get tougher the rest of the way. The Thunder will try to bounce back and earn a fourth win in five games when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
Chicago at Memphis 9:00 PM ET
After picking up another big road win against a Western Conference power, the Memphis Grizzlies will try to hold court against a middle-of-the-pack Eastern Conference foe when they host the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. A week after their dramatic comeback win at Golden State, the Grizzlies rallied again on Friday to hand Houston its fourth home loss of the season.
Detroit at L.A. Lakers 9:30 PM ET
The Detroit Pistons will try to end their longest road trip of the season on a winning note when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday for a matchup between teams looking to snap three-game slides. The Pistons opened their five-game trek with a dramatic double-overtime win at Portland but have offered little resistance ever since, dropping three in a row by an average of 19.7 points.
