Preview Roundups
February 07, 2015
Chicago at New Orleans 7:00 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls look to snap a season-long three-game losing skid when they face the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bulls started their West Coast road swing with a 113-111 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors before dropping their next three - including a 101-90 setback to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Chicago owns the best road record in the Eastern Conference at 17-9 and hopes to bounce back by beating the Pelicans for the sixth time in the last seven meetings in the Big Easy.
Brooklyn at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards, considered a serious contender for the top spot in the Eastern Conference earlier in the season, need to get back to having "fun," shooting guard Bradley Beal says. The Wizards will try to avoid their first six-game losing streak since the end of the 2012-13 season when they host the surging Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Washington was outscored by 12 points in the fourth quarter in a 94-87 loss at Charlotte on Thursday, getting swept in a home-and-home series.
Golden State at New York 7:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors have spent most of the season unchallenged atop the Western Conference but are staring down a tough stretch as they try to maintain their lofty position. The Warriors will play the finale of a stretch of four games in five nights and the second in a string of 10 of 11 on the road when they visit the New York Knicks on Saturday. The Knicks have dropped back-to-back games after falling at Brooklyn on Friday.
Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:30 PM ET
Over the past month, the Atlanta Hawks are the only team in the NBA with a better record than the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets seek a fourth straight victory Saturday when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers. Since Jan. 3, Charlotte is 12-3, behind Atlanta's 19-1 but ahead of Golden State (13-4), San Antonio (12-4) and Memphis (13-5).
Portland at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers attempt to halt a six-game road losing streak when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Portland hasn’t won away from home since beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 11 and winning in Dallas could be a tough task as the Trail Blazers have lost 23 of their last 29 visits. The Mavericks experienced a four-game losing streak but have emerged to win four of their last five games.
Boston at Milwaukee 8:30 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks look to rebound after seeing their season-high, five-game winning streak come to an end when they host the suddenly-hot Boston Celtics on Saturday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo set a career high for the second straight game with 27 points as the Bucks came up short 117-111 at Houston on Friday night after falling behind by 18. They will be challenged by the rejuvenated Celtics, who defeated Philadelphia 107-96 on Friday for their third consecutive victory.
Sacramento at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings have lost 10 of their last 11 games and hope to halt the slide when they visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Sacramento was routed 101-78 at home by the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, a poor effort that upset All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. Utah is also near the bottom of the Western Conference and has dropped five of its last six games after suffering a 100-93 road loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
