Preview Roundups
November 25, 2015
Washington at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
Kemba Walker is experiencing a torrid stretch and the Charlotte point
guard strives to produce another strong effort when the Hornets host the
Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Walker is averaging 24.4 points over
the past five games and tallied a season-best 39 in Monday's 127-122
overtime victory over the Sacramento Kings.
New York at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The New York Knicks had a four-game winning streak come to an end with a poor offensive performance on Monday and will look to bounce back quickly when they visit the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The Knicks scored a season-low 78 points in dropping the first leg of their Florida trip at Miami.
Philadelphia at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers are once again on the verge of making history, but not the kind they want to be associated with. The winless 76ers will try to avoid tying the longest losing streak in NBA history when they visit the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
Miami at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat are dominating teams on the defensive end while spreading the points around on the other side of the court. The Heat will go for their fourth straight win and seventh in the last eight games when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
Cleveland at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors looked strong in back-to-back wins to close out their five-game road trip but take a big jump in competition when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The Cavaliers are averaging 113.7 points in three straight wins and sit atop the Eastern Conference.
Cleveland at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors looked strong in back-to-back wins to close out their five-game road trip but take a big jump in competition when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The Cavaliers are averaging 113.7 points in three straight wins and sit atop the Eastern Conference.
Memphis at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are hoping that three days off will allow them to hit the reset button on a dismal beginning. Following the mini-break from game action, the struggling Rockets get back at it Wednesday at home against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Sacramento at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks snapped a three-game slide with a big win on Monday behind 20 points and 13 rebounds from Greg Monroe. The Bucks will need another big performance from the center spot when they host DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
Atlanta at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves did just enough with a small tweak to their starting lineup Monday to earn their first home victory of the season, and interim coach Sam Mitchell hopes that sparks an offense which has struggled despite the brilliance of Andrew Wiggins. Minnesota hosts the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday and likely will deploy the same look it did in Monday’s victory over winless Philadelphia, with Kevin Martin starting at shooting guard and Wiggins moving to small forward.
Brooklyn at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
Kevin Durant was stellar in his return from a hamstring injury and aims
for another strong showing when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the
Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Durant missed six games with the ailment but
showed no signs of rust by scoring 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting in
Monday's easy 111-89 win over the Utah Jazz.
Dallas at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs routinely chalk up the victories when the Dallas
Mavericks visit town. The Spurs are looking to record their 10th
consecutive home win over Dallas on Wednesday as the Mavericks last won
in San Antonio early in the 2010-11 campaign.
New Orleans at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans are trying to recover from a disastrous start
and look to notch their third consecutive victory when they visit the
Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The Pelicans dropped 11 of their first 12
games before winning their last two, including a 122-114 home win over
the Suns on Sunday.
Utah at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers look to extend their winning streak against
Utah to 14 games when they host the Jazz on Wednesday. The Jazz haven't
defeated the Clippers since posting a 108-79 victory on Jan. 17, 2012,
and the skid includes losses in their seven trips to Los Angeles.
