Preview Roundups
January 22, 2015
San Antonio at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs are putting things together and look for their fifth consecutive victory when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Getting point guard Tony Parker and small forward Kawhi Leonard back from injuries has fueled a streak in which San Antonio has won six of its last seven games. Chicago is headed in the other direction as its defense has disintegrated, leading to six losses in eight games.
Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks look for back-to-back victories over the Utah Jazz for the first time since 2001 when the two teams meet at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The Bucks have lost five of their last seven home games — including a 92-89 setback Monday to the Toronto Raptors — and hope to get back on track by improving to 16-5 against teams with a losing record. Milwaukee downed Utah 114-88 in the last meeting on March 3 and has scored 109 points or more in its last two home games in the series.
Boston at Portland 10:00 PM ET
The Boston Celtics have not won a road game against a Western Conference team since the 2012-13 season, but the current road trip will give them five more chances. The Celtics will try to take advantage of a weary team when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. The Trail Blazers are losers of four of their last five games and are playing for the third time in four days after battling back from a 25-point deficit only to fall at Phoenix on Wednesday.
Brooklyn at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers haven’t played outside Pacific Standard Time since Dec. 23 and they’ll try to benefit from being close to home once again when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night. The Clippers have taken advantage of the lack of travel to win nine of their last 13 and stay within striking distance of the Western Conference leaders. The Nets are coming off a three-point win Wednesday night at the Sacramento Kings in which they nearly squandered a 23-point lead.
