Preview Roundups
February 25, 2016
Golden State at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The rigors of a long road trip have tested the almighty Golden State Warriors, but Steph Curry seems unfazed. Curry and Warriors seek their fourth consecutive win as they continue a seven-game road trip at the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Celtics were not pleased with their defensive effort during a 1-2 road trip but will have plenty of time at the team practice facility to iron out those issues over the next three weeks. The Celtics begin a five-game homestand and a stretch of seven of eighth in their own building by hosting the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
Oklahoma City at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
New Orleans All-Star forward Anthony Davis suffered a scoring dropoff of 50 points in his last game and looks to regain his form when the Pelicans host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Davis scored an NBA season-high 59 points against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday and then was swarmed by Washington defenders and held to nine points in Tuesday's 109-89 loss.
Brooklyn at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
The Phoenix Suns have dropped 12 straight and 18 of 19 but could be looking at their best chance to snap that string. The Brooklyn Nets, who visit the Suns on Thursday, have dropped seven in a row on the road and began their nine-game road trip with a 112-104 setback in Portland on Tuesday.
Houston at Portland 10:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers are no longer thinking about just making the playoffs, but about earning a higher seed. The Trail Blazers are winners of six straight and 15 of their last 18 and will try to disappoint another team chasing them in the standings when they host the Houston Rockets on Thursday.
San Antonio at Utah 10:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs have dominated Utah twice this season and look to make it three consecutive victories over the Jazz in Thursday's road contest. Both the previous meetings were in San Antonio and the Spurs averaged 120.5 points in the two games while winning by an average of 31 points.
