February 03, 2016
Cleveland at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers managed to keep their winning streak alive – barely – and will attempt to make it six straight victories when they visit the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. The Cavaliers needed overtime to dispatch the Indiana Pacers on Monday but were pleased at their ability to pull out a win even when things weren’t going their way.
Atlanta at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
Tershe wins continue to come far less frequently than the Philadelphia 76ers hope, but there are small steps forward for a team that opened the season with 18 consecutive losses. Philadelphia hosts the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday after pushing NBA champion Golden State in a 108-105 home defeat Saturday, and the 76ers ended January with victories in three of their final seven contests.

The Boston Celtics' bench continues to provide a big boost as they inch their way up the Eastern Conference standings. Those reserves were big in a win at New York on Tuesday and will be relied on again in a quick turnaround Wednesday at home against Detroit.

Indiana at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers still look like one of the best teams in the league in stretches, but they just can’t seem to find any consistency. The Pacers will try to bounce back from an overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
Golden State at Washington 8:00 PM ET
Draymond Green admitted that his selfish search for a triple-double on Saturday left the Golden State Warriors in a dangerous position, but just letting one come naturally on Sunday gave the team a big boost. The first-time All-Star will try to lead the Warriors to an eighth consecutive win when they close out a three-game road trip at the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
Orlando at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been almost unstoppable in the offensive end of late and they hope to continue their roll against the visiting Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The Thunder, who take on the league-leading Golden State Warriors on Saturday, have won 11 of their last 12 contests and are averaging 121 points during a four-game win streak.
Miami at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat had a season-long four-game winning streak snapped in the opener of a three-game road trip and look to rebound when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Miami dropped a 115-102 decision to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday when it committed 17 turnovers and allowed 16 3-point baskets.
New Orleans at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs attempt to win their 27th consecutive home game this season when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. San Antonio has recorded 35 straight home wins dating back to last season, the sixth-best streak in NBA history.
Denver at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Utah Jazz are enjoying their first three-game winning streak of the season and look to add another victory to the total when they host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The Jazz posted an impressive 105-96 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday to get that elusive third straight win and have won four of their past five contests.
Chicago at Sacramento 10:00 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls followed up an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Clippers with a crushing setback at the Utah Jazz in what is beginning to look like a rough seven-game road trip. The Bulls will try to pick themselves up when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
Minnesota at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers aim to stretch their winning streak against Minnesota to 15 games when they host the Timberwolves on Wednesday. Two of the victories have occurred this season — by an average of six points — and the Clippers haven't lost in the series since dropping a 95-94 decision in Minneapolis on March 5, 2012.
