Preview Roundups
March 07, 2016
Minnesota at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets are working their way up the standings in the Eastern Conference and are looking impressive on the way. The Hornets will try to secure their fourth consecutive victory and keep the pressure on fifth-place Atlanta in the East when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.
Memphis at Cleveland 7:00 PM ET
A stretch of seven straight games against sub-.500 opponents will come to an abrupt end for the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, when they hit the road for a visit to the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. The Grizzlies were crushed at home 106-76 by the Cavaliers on Oct. 28 and seemed to be looking ahead to the rematch when they closed out their homestand with a loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
San Antonio at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
Veteran guard Manu Ginobili was superb in his return from a brutal injury and attempts to record another strong outing when the San Antonio Spurs visit the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Ginobili scored a season-best 22 points in 15 minutes in Saturday's victory over the Sacramento Kings after missing the previous 12 games due to testicular surgery.
Milwaukee at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
Jimmy Butler excelled in his return after a one-month absence and the All-Star guard looks for another productive outing when the Chicago Bulls host the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Butler was solid with 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in Saturday's 108-100 victory over the Houston Rockets after missing 11 consecutive games due to a knee injury.
Sacramento at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans could be without shooting guard Eric Gordon for the remainder of the season after he once again broke his right ring finger during Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz. Gordon had just recently returned to action after the first break and the Pelicans will attempt to halt a four-game skid without him when they host the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
L.A. Clippers at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
After losing back-to-back games to teams that will watch the playoffs on television, the Dallas Mavericks look to get back on track when they host the playoff-bound Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. Dallas melted down late in regulation Sunday while suffering a 116-114 overtime road loss to the Denver Nuggets, three days after experiencing a home defeat against the Sacramento Kings.
Orlando at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
A record-setting season for the Golden State Warriors has reached the brink of another milestone. The Warriors will try to bounce back from a shocking road loss and break the 1994-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 44 straight home wins when they go for their 45th against the visiting Orlando Magic on Monday.
