Preview Roundups
October 31, 2016
Denver at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
Kyle Lowry's struggle to find his shot in the playoffs last spring was one of the things that held the Toronto Raptors back, and the star point guard is again having some trouble finding his form. Lowry will try to turn in a more efficient offensive performance when the Raptors host the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
Chicago at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls are not taking as long as expected to come together, but a stretch of 11 road games in the next 14 looms to test the chemistry between Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Jimmy Butler and company. The Bulls will kick off that stretch by visiting the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
Sacramento at Atlanta 7:30 PM ET
The Atlanta Hawks might be the most impressive team in the NBA through the first two games of the season, though they have yet to face a team that made the playoffs last season. The Hawks will get another team that spent last spring outside of NBA arenas when the Sacramento Kings visit on Monday.
Phoenix at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers have won a shootout and a defensive struggle so far, and they look to stay perfect on the young season when they continue a three-game homestand with the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Following a 114-106 win in Portland in their opener, the Clippers slogged their way past the Utah Jazz on Sunday, surviving a pair of 19-point quarters in an 88-75 win.
