Preview Roundups

Miami at Boston 1:00 PM ET
If the sports fans in New England are looking for a distraction in the hours leading up to the Super Bowl, then the NBA has them covered with the Boston Celtics hosting the Miami Heat on Sunday afternoon. The Heat lost Dwyane Wade to a hamstring injury earlier in the week but are breaking in a new star in center Hassan Whiteside, who turned heads with 24 rebounds in a loss on Friday. Whiteside posted a triple-double the last time Miami played on a Sunday afternoon.
L.A. Lakers at New York 2:00 PM ET
Two of the most disappointing teams in the NBA square off Sunday when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the New York Knicks. The Lakers defeated the Chicago Bulls on Thursday to halt a losing streak at nine games and avoid matching the longest since the franchise moved to Los Angeles. New York won four of five games in its best stretch of the season before being routed by the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.
