Preview Roundups
November 11, 2014
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors can look down on the rest of the Eastern Conference after producing the best seven-game start (6-1) in franchise history. The Raptors look to maintain solid play on both ends of the court and extend their winning streak to five when the Orlando Magic visit on Tuesday. The Magic, who have lost eight straight to Toronto, must contain the talented backcourt duo of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, who combined to score 47 points in a 108-95 victory at Orlando on Nov. 1.
L.A. Lakers at Memphis 8:00 PM ET
The Los Angeles Lakers have ended their worst start since moving to Los Angeles in 1960 and look for their second straight victory when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The Lakers lost their first five contests before recording a 107-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. Memphis won its first six games and had the best start in franchise history halted with a 93-92 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.
Oklahoma City at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
After a much-needed win and with many battered bodies slowly returning to health, the Oklahoma City Thunder can be optimistic for the first time in weeks. They hope to carry those positive vibes into Tuesday's night visit to Milwaukee, which also is riding a high after a dramatic win over previously unbeaten Memphis on Saturday. The Thunder, who won 101-93 at Sacramento on Sunday, hope to have guard Anthony Morrow and forward Perry Jones back from knee injuries soon, perhaps as soon as Tuesday.
Sacramento at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings are hoping to prove they’re for real on their current road trip, and so far the results have been mixed. The Kings will try to bounce back from a loss when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Sacramento began its four-game trip with a double-overtime victory at Phoenix before falling at Oklahoma City and will close out at Memphis on Thursday before heading home to entertain San Antonio.
Charlotte at Portland 10:00 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers attempt to record their seventh consecutive home win against Charlotte when they host the Hornets on Tuesday. Portland has routinely cruised to victories over the Charlotte franchise and hasn’t suffered a home loss against Charlotte since March 29, 2008. The Hornets are 0-3 on the road this season after losing 107-92 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday in the opener of a four-game Western road swing.
San Antonio at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors had their undefeated run come to an end Sunday and are trying to figure out how to take better care of the ball. The Warriors will try to clean things up and take advantage of the San Antonio Spurs, who will be playing the second night of a back-to-back. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is not a fan of the Spurs’ recent run of back-to-backs, and resting several regulars is never out of the question.
