The flourishing Minnesota Timberwolves look to post their sixth consecutive victory and 13th in 16 games when they visit the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Minnesota is fresh off the franchise's first 5-0 homestand since 2001 and the game in Orlando marks the first stop in which the team closes January with seven of nine on the road.

The red-hot Boston Celtics look to stretch their second-longest winning streak of the season to eight games when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. Boston has held five teams under 100 points during the latest streak, which follows a 16-gamer early in the campaign.

The Denver Nuggets have fallen into a rut with four defeats in the past five games and they look for a turnaround when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. The Nuggets were punished badly by the San Antonio Spurs when they suffered a 112-80 setback on Saturday.

The Portland Trail Blazers allowed an average of 120 points while losing all three games of a road excursion. The Trail Blazers aim to toughen up defensively when they open a three-game homestand with Tuesday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns.
