Preview Roundups
January 16, 2017
Atlanta at New York 1:00 PM ET
The New York Knicks are mired in a miserable slump entering Monday’s home game against the Atlanta Hawks, and injuries are not helping. The Knicks, who are 2-10 since a Christmas Day loss to Boston, fell 116-101 at Toronto on Sunday - the second game in a row Kristaps Porzingis has missed with a sore left Achilles.
Portland at Washington 2:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards pulled above .500 with wins in four of the last five games and have not lost at home since Dec. 6. The Wizards will try to push their home winning streak to 12 in a row when they host the Portland Trail Blazers in the second of a three-game homestand on Monday.
Philadelphia at Milwaukee 3:30 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks saw one winning streak come to an end Sunday but can extend another when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The Bucks have claimed nine straight meetings between the two squads, who have yet to face one another this season.
New Orleans at Indiana 4:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans can still salvage a winning five-game road trip when they visit the Indiana Pacers for the finale on Monday. The Pelicans, who were hoping to make a move into the playoff race in the Western Conference in the first half of this month, dropped a 107-99 decision at Chicago on Saturday to fall to 2-4 in January.
Orlando at Denver 5:00 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets are probably wishing they could play all their games in London after punishing the Indiana Pacers across the Atlantic Ocean last week. They will try to carry that momentum across several time zones when they return home to host the Orlando Magic on Monday.
Charlotte at Boston 7:30 PM ET
A pair of Eastern Conference squads going in opposite directions meet up Monday when the sliding Charlotte Hornets visit the surging Boston Celtics. With four straight losses and six in their last seven games, the Hornets are in danger of falling below .500 for the first time since last February.
Cleveland at Golden State 8:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers blamed a lack of practice time for some lackluster performances of late but got two straight days off over the weekend to work out some kinks and prepare for another NBA Finals rematch. The Cavaliers will return to Golden State for the first time since winning Game 7 of the NBA Finals last spring when they visit the Warriors on Monday.
Utah at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
After wowing fans in a two-game stay in Mexico City, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will seek an encore in front of his own supporters when the Suns host the Utah Jazz on Monday. Booker scored 28 points in the fourth quarter - a franchise record for one period - en route to a career-high 39 against Dallas on Thursday at Arena Ciudad de Mexico.
Oklahoma City at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers can match the best start to a calendar year in franchise history with a seventh straight victory when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. Coach Jack Ramsay led the franchise to a 7-0 start in 1974 when it was in Buffalo and Los Angeles has recorded wins in the first six of 2017 by an average of almost 11 points.
