Preview Roundups
February 10, 2016
Charlotte at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets can glance at the Eastern Conference standings and notice that they are only two games behind the Indiana Pacers, who occupy the No. 6 spot, and are moving up. The Hornets will try to draw within a game and pull over .500 when they visit the Pacers on Wednesday.
San Antonio at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Orlando Magic have regained some confidence with two straight wins and look to go into the All-Star break with another when they host the red-hot San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Magic knocked off the Atlanta Hawks in back-to-back tight contests after losing 15 of their previous 17 outings to start the calendar year.
Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings are reportedly on the verge of becoming the latest disappointing team to make a coaching change, though George Karl is still expected to be on the bench when the Kings visit the Philadelphia 76ers in the final game before the All-Star break on Wednesday. Sacramento has dropped four straight and eight of its last nine and looks lost on the defensive end during its road trip.
L.A. Clippers at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers have been steamrolling through Eastern Conference opponents of late but they will be tested in their one trip to Boston on Wednesday. The Celtics had won four in a row and nine of their last 10 before Tuesday's 112-111 loss at Milwaukee, which involved a comeback from 19 points down in the fourth quarter before a wild finish ended the run.
Memphis at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
Joe Johnson’s buzzer-beater gave the Brooklyn Nets a much-needed lift on Monday, and they will try to carry that momentum into a date with the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The Grizzlies have had a hard time closing out tight games in their last two and are trying to avoid a three-game slide heading into the All-Star break.
Denver at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
The Detroit Pistons need a win heading into the All-Star break to maintain a winning record into the season’s nominal second half. The Pistons will try to stay above .500 and win for just the third time in the last eight games when they host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
L.A. Lakers at Cleveland 8:00 PM ET
Kobe Bryant and LeBron James square off for the first of two times this
season when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on
Wednesday. Bryant is retiring after another dreadful season for the
Lakers while James and the Cavaliers are aiming to make a title run
after recently firing coach David Blatt.
Atlanta at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
Four wins away from playing for the NBA championship last season, the Atlanta Hawks may be on the verge of dismantling key parts of this season’s squad as the Feb. 18 trade deadline looms. Atlanta travels to visit the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, and after losing back-to-back games to Orlando, media reports surfaced Tuesday that point guard Jeff Teague, shooting guard Kyle Korver and center Al Horford could be moved before the deadline.
Toronto at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors look to continue their dominance over Minnesota
on Wednesday as they attempt to defeat the host Timberwolves for the
ninth consecutive time. Toronto has won 20 of the past 21 meetings, with
Minnesota's lone win during the stretch occurring on Jan. 29, 2011.
Utah at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans are fading out of the Western Conference
playoff derby but have a chance to make up ground on one of the teams
they need to catch when they host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. New
Orleans, which stands 6 1/2 games behind eighth-place Houston and seven back of the No. 7 Jazz, has never
recovered from a disastrous 1-11 start.
Golden State at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA and look to enter the
All-Star break with their 11th straight victory when they visit the
struggling Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Golden State sits with a stellar
47-4 record after beating the Houston Rockets 123-110 on Tuesday and
arrives in Phoenix with a 23-4 road mark.
Houston at Portland 10:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA and
seek their 12th victory in the past 15 games when they host the Houston
Rockets on Wednesday. Portland stands in ninth place in the Western
Conference, a half-game behind the eighth-place Utah Jazz and only two
games behind the sixth-place Dallas Mavericks.
