Preview Roundups
January 18, 2017
Toronto at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors may receive a challenge from a team they typically pummel when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Toronto will be seeking its 15th consecutive win over the 76ers, but Philadelphia is showing signs of progress with six victories in its last eight games.
Memphis at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards are riding their home dominance up the standings in the Eastern Conference and aim for their 13th straight win in front of the home fans when they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The Wizards are trying to sweep a three-game homestand after beating Philadelphia and Portland by a combined 35 points.
Portland at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets got off to a superb start this season but a prolonged slump caused them to dip below .500. Charlotte will look to get back to the break-even mark and halt a five-game losing streak when it hosts the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
New York at Boston 7:30 PM ET
Isaiah Thomas looks to continue his torrid pace and the Boston Celtics will try to match their longest winning streak of the season when they host the stumbling New York Knicks on Wednesday. Thomas led the Celtics to their third straight win - a 108-98 home triumph over Charlotte on Monday - with another remarkable fourth-quarter burst.
Orlando at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans did not do as well as they wanted on their five-game road trip and come home with star power forward Anthony Davis banged up. The Pelicans hope to have their star back in the lineup when they host the Orlando Magic in the opener of a six-game homestand on Wednesday.
Milwaukee at Houston 8:00 PM ET
James Harden attempts to add to his triple-double count, as well as help Houston break out of a minor funk, when the Rockets host the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Houston has dropped three of its last four games, including Tuesday's 109-103 loss to Miami despite Harden's 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
Atlanta at Detroit 8:00 PM ET
Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy sat through a three-hour meeting with owner Tom Gores on Saturday and came out of it with the organization on the same page from the top down, despite some disappointing results. Van Gundy will try to thank his boss for the support with a second straight win when the Pistons host the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.
Oklahoma City at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
When the Golden State Warriors put everything together, they look positively unbeatable. The Oklahoma City Thunder, who visit Golden State on Wednesday, already saw that type of performance once from the Warriors and will try to disrupt the rhythm with star Russell Westbrook going up against former teammate Kevin Durant.
Indiana at Sacramento 10:30 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings are failing to take care of business on a seven-game homestand and look to end it with a victory when they host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The Kings are just 1-5 entering the finale of the long home set and then embark on an eight-game road trip that may decide whether or not they remain in range of a Western Conference playoff spot.
