Preview Roundups
November 03, 2016
Sacramento at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings are a different team when DeMarcus Cousins is on the floor and attacking, and when the referees allow him to attack. Cousins will try to avoid another foul-plagued effort when the Kings close out the Southeast Division portion of their five-game road trip by visiting the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
Indiana at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers knew coming into the season that they could count on production from Paul George, and they were hoping for consistent production from a few other places on the roster. George will try to find some help on offense when the Pacers go for their first road win at the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
Denver at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves were expected to take a big step forward this season under head coach Tom Thibodeau, and they just showed off their capabilities for the first time. The Timberwolves will try to put together back-to-back strong performances when they host the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.
Boston at Cleveland 8:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 4-0 for the first time in 16 seasons and look to remain unbeaten when they host the Boston Celtics on Thursday. The Cavaliers had their offense revving while posting a 128-120 victory over Houston on Tuesday after holding each of their first three opponents under 100 points.
Oklahoma City at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook square off as adversaries for the first time in their NBA careers when Durant’s new team, the Golden State Warriors, host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Durant departed the Thunder as a free agent in the offseason and tension is high as he faces his former teammates for the first time.
