March 06, 2016
Oklahoma City at Milwaukee 3:30 PM ET
The fourth quarter has not been kind to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are trying to figure out how to protect a lead as the regular season hits the home stretch. The Thunder will try to avoid a third straight loss when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
Golden State at L.A. Lakers 3:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors are 18 wins away from breaking the single-season record and are showing no signs of slowing down as they brace for the final 22 games of the campaign. The Warriors just got done taking out one of the top teams in the Western Conference and will try to keep the intensity up when they pay a final visit to Kobe Bryant and the West-worst Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Phoenix at Memphis 4:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies have been taking advantage of a soft portion of their schedule as they look to climb the ranks in the Western Conference, with one exception - a recent loss to the lowly Phoenix Suns. The Grizzlies will look to exact revenge before the schedule intensifies when they host the Suns on Sunday afternoon.
Dallas at Denver 5:00 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks are trying to hang onto the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference and can’t afford to suffer losses to teams behind them in the standings. The Mavericks will try to avoid a second consecutive loss to a sub-.500 team when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
Portland at Detroit 6:00 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers won the first three stops of a six-game road trip but have hit a bit of a snag of late. The Trail Blazers will try to end a two-game slide and finish the trip with a winning record when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
Philadelphia at Miami 6:00 PM ET
The Miami Heat are dealing with the loss of All-Star Chris Bosh quite well and go after their fifth consecutive victory when the league-worst Philadelphia 76ers pay a visit on Sunday night. Miami is 7-2 without Bosh (19.1 points) the last nine games after he was forced out of the lineup due to blood clots, and handed Philadelphia its 11th straight loss Friday 112-102.
Houston at Toronto 6:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors try to extend the longest home winning streak in franchise history when they take on the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Raptors are 2-0 on a seven-game homestand and have taken 12 straight at Air Canada Centre after a 117-115 victory over Portland on Friday.
