Preview Roundups
November 14, 2016
Orlando at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers welcome back their all-time leader in coaching victories when Frank Vogel brings his Orlando Magic to Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday. Vogel led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference finals in 2013 and 2014 among six seasons as coach before his contract was not renewed following a first-round playoff loss last spring.
Dallas at New York 7:30 PM ET
The New York Knicks' fans and critics spend a lot of time talking about the triangle offense preferred by team president Phil Jackson versus more modern, spread-out attacks, but that focus might be switching to the other side of the ball. The Knicks will try to hold an opponent under 115 points when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.
Oklahoma City at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
The Detroit Pistons finally recorded their first road victory last time out and look to remain unbeaten at home when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The Pistons snapped a three-game losing streak Saturday as six players hit double figures in scoring en route to a 106-95 win at Denver, their first triumph in six contests away from home.
Boston at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
The Boston Celtics hope to have All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas in the lineup and could welcome back big man Al Horford when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Thomas sprained his left middle finger in Saturday's 105-99 win at the Indiana Pacers but recovered to score his team's final eight points and finish with 23.
Philadelphia at Houston 8:00 PM ET
James Harden spent the last few seasons hanging around the fringes of the MVP discussion but is taking his game to another level while playing point guard in Mike D'Antoni's offense. Harden will try to post his third straight triple-double when his Houston Rockets host the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Miami at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs finally have their starting five healthy and playing together, and now maybe they can go on a home winning streak. The Spurs will try to win back-to-back games at home and three in a row overall when they host the Miami Heat on Monday.
Memphis at Utah 9:00 PM ET
Following a successful road trip, the Utah Jazz get a rare home game when they host the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Behind 25 points from Gordon Hayward and 17 from Rodney Hood, the Jazz cruised to a 102-91 win at Miami on Saturday to cap a 4-1 voyage - during which they held opponents to an average of 92.4 points.
Brooklyn at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets are coming off their best offensive performance of the young season - just in time to go up against the toughest defensive team in the league. The Nets will try to avoid becoming the seventh straight team to fall to the Clippers when they visit Los Angeles on Monday.
