Preview Roundups
December 31, 2016
Memphis at Sacramento 5:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings built a four-game winning streak on fourth-quarter comebacks before falling into too big of a hole at Portland on Wednesday. The Kings will try to get a lead earlier and hang on when they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Milwaukee at Chicago 7:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks smacked around the Chicago Bulls twice earlier this month and look to do it again on the final day of the calendar year when the teams meet Saturday in the Windy City. Milwaukee won games on back-to-back nights by an average of 18.5 points, holding the Bulls to a season-low 69 points in the second contest.
Cleveland at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers are taking on all challengers and turning them aside with regularity, as long as all three of their stars are in the lineup. The Cavaliers hope to have LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving available when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
New York at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are 14-2 in December and aim to tie the franchise record for victories in a month when they host the New York Knicks on Saturday. High-scoring Houston arguably has been the best team in the NBA in December as it chases the team monthly win mark set in November 1996.
Phoenix at Utah 8:00 PM ET
The Utah Jazz reached the point where just winning isn't good enough, and the way the team plays is more important as they try to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the Western Conference. The Jazz will try to put together a consistent effort and pick up their third straight win when they host the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
Russell Westbrook's meltdown could hinder his chances to average a triple-double for the season, but he looks to bounce back when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the struggling Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Westbrook didn't have a single assist in Thursday's 114-80 loss to Memphis and was ejected after drawing two technical fouls with 6:41 remaining in the third quarter.
