Preview Roundups
March 17, 2015
Memphis at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
A pair of 10-game streaks will be on the line Tuesday when Memphis begins a quick two-game road trip at Detroit. The Grizzlies have won 10 straight meetings with the Pistons, who have tumbled out of playoff contention in the Eastern Conference with 10 straight losses overall. Memphis, which recently endured a 1-3 road trip, is coming off a 92-81 home win over Denver on Monday, improving to 2-1 since point guard Mike Conley was sidelined with an ankle injury.
San Antonio at New York 7:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs look to continue their winning ways when they hit the road to face the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The Spurs have won seven of their last eight, with a 128-125 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 12 their only blemish during that span. San Antonio is clinging to the fifth seed in the Western Conference and hopes to separate itself from the three-team logjam by beating the Knicks for the second straight time after a 109-95 win in the first meeting on Dec. 10.
Orlando at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets want to climb higher in the Western Conference standings, and taking care of teams like the visiting Orlando Magic is a necessity for that to happen. Houston enters Tuesday’s contest in fourth place in the West but has solid shots at overtaking third-place Portland and second-place Memphis during the final month of the regular season. Orlando is struggling to the finish and has lost four straight games and eight of its last 10.
Milwaukee at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
A near quadruple-double from Anthony Davis could not save the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, and the team is fighting to stay in the race in the Western Conference. The Pelicans will try to bounce back and keep pace with eighth-place Oklahoma City when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The Bucks are in their own fight for playoff position and have dropped two straight while trying to hang onto the No. 6 spot in the East.
Charlotte at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers got Blake Griffin back in the lineup for the first time in a month on Sunday and are working out the kinks as they gear up for the stretch run. Griffin will try to lead the Clippers to their first win since his return when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Los Angeles went 9-6 with the All-Star on the sidelines to remain in the thick of the race in the Western Conference but dropped a 100-98 decision to Houston on Sunday.
