Preview Roundups
April 25, 2016
Miami at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Miami Heat set a historic offensive pace in the first two games of their first-round series before crashing back to earth in Game 3. The Charlotte Hornets will try to put together back-to-back solid defensive efforts and even the series at two wins apiece when they host the Heat in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
All-Star small forward Kevin Durant will be on the floor when the third-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder attempt to close out their first-round series against the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Monday. A flagrant 2 foul got Durant ejected late in Saturday's 119-108 road win over the sixth-seeded Mavericks but he avoided a suspension despite being fined $15,000 by the NBA.
L.A. Clippers at Portland 10:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers turned the series around at home in Game 3 and will try to even things up at two wins apiece when they host the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 on Monday. The Trail Blazers finally got strong performances in the same game from Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum on Saturday, which boosted their confidence moving forward.
