Preview Roundups
March 08, 2015
Chicago at San Antonio 1:00 PM ET
San Antonio returned from its annual Rodeo Road Trip last season, got hot and rolled to an NBA title. The Spurs are looking to repeat that run as they put a four-game run on the line at home against Chicago on Sunday. After going 2-5 to begin the voyage - ensuring its first losing mark in 13 Rodeo Road Trips - San Antonio won the last two games before coming home to rout Sacramento and then top Denver 120-111 on Friday, moving to within 3 1/2 games of third place in the West entering Saturday.
L.A. Clippers at Golden State 3:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors are back home and have resumed their quest to finish with the top spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors will try to finish off a perfect three-game homestand when they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Clippers have been off since a crushing loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday and are unlikely to have All-Star Blake Griffin (elbow) back for the battle with Golden State.
Dallas at L.A. Lakers 9:30 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks attempt to break out of a funk when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Dallas has lost four of its last five games and Friday’s 104-89 loss to the Golden State Warriors marked the ninth time in 11 games it failed to reach 100 points. The Lakers have lost four straight games, including a 97-90 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday in which the bright spot was rookie Jordan Clarkson’s season-best 25 points.
