Preview Roundups
March 12, 2015
Milwaukee at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers aim to extend their season-best winning streak to seven games when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Pacers have surged up the Eastern Conference standings to take over seventh place but have little margin for error with three teams within two games of them. The Bucks are in better shape, sitting sixth with a 5 1/2-game cushion over ninth-place Charlotte.
Memphis at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies are not having much recent success on the road and will try to avoid a losing record on the trip when they wrap the four-game excursion at the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The Grizzlies are enduring the second night of a back-to-back after failing to fight off the Boston Celtics down the stretch Wednesday. The Wizards are looking to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in more than a month.
Houston at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets will try to improve to 3-0 against the Utah Jazz this season when they continue their four-game road trip Thursday night. Houston beat the Jazz by 11 points in the season opener and by 15 on Jan. 10, when Houston forced 31 turnovers. The Jazz are playing much better lately, however, winning six of their last seven and will try for their first four-game winning streak of the season.
Cleveland at San Antonio 9:30 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers opened their four-game road trip in impressive fashion Tuesday and have firmly established themselves as a championship contender. The Cavaliers will try to prove that standing once again when they visit the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. The meeting marks LeBron James’ first trip back to San Antonio since a loss in Game 5 of the NBA Finals last season with the Miami Heat.
New York at L.A. Lakers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Lakers are officially out of the playoff mix — not that there was any suspense — as they host another highly disappointing team in the New York Knicks on Thursday. Los Angeles was eliminated from the Western Conference race Tuesday and will miss the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for only the second time, the other being the 1974-75 and 1975-76 campaigns. The Knicks still are mathematically alive in the Eastern Conference despite having the worst record in the NBA.
