Preview Roundups
January 31, 2017
New York at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The New York Knicks battled through four overtimes in Atlanta on Sunday afternoon only to fall 142-139, losing for the 15th time in their last 20 games. The Knicks will try to bounce back and find the win column when the road trip continues at the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
New Orleans at Toronto 7:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors are losers of six of their last seven games and are even struggling against sub-.500 clubs. The New Orleans Pelicans, who sit 10 games under .500 and are desperately trying to right the ship and make a run at the playoffs, visit the Raptors on Tuesday and hope the host's slump lasts just a little longer.
Sacramento at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are suffering though their worst stretch of the season with seven losses in 11 games entering Tuesday's home contest against the Sacramento Kings. The game begins a stretch in which Houston plays eight of 10 at home, while the Kings are playing the finale of an eight-game road trip.
Oklahoma City at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
Russell Westbrook's latest triple-double didn't result in a victory and that is a rare occurrence for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook attempts to record triple-double No. 25 on the season when the Thunder visit the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
Charlotte at Portland 10:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets can't quite seem to figure out a way out of their current funk and dropped four straight and 11 of 15 to fall two games under .500. The schedule only gets tougher on Tuesday, when the Hornets kick off a three-game road trip that stops in Golden State and Utah by visiting the Portland Trail Blazers.
Denver at L.A. Lakers 10:30 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets are thriving whenever they visit the Los Angeles Lakers and aim to post their eighth consecutive road victory in the series when the teams meet on Tuesday. Denver recorded a 127-121 victory in Los Angeles on Jan. 17 to continue its recent success against the Lakers at the Staples Center.
