Preview Roundups
March 04, 2020
Boston at Cleveland 7:00 PM ET
The Boston Celtics look to finish off a four-game season sweep as well as defeat Cleveland for the eighth consecutive time when they visit the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Boston hasn't dropped a regular-season clash since Feb. 11, 2018 when LeBron James was still on the Cavaliers.
Oklahoma City at Detroit 7:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to snap out of a sudden offensive funk when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday in the opener of a three-game road trip. The Thunder averaged 120.6 points in a five-game winning streak before getting crushed 133-86 at Milwaukee on Friday and then dropping a 109-94 contest at home against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.
Indiana at Milwaukee 7:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks don't lose often, and it comes as a bit of a shock when they struggle on the offensive end. The Bucks will try to avoid their first two-game slide of the season and bounce back from their lowest scoring effort of 2019-20 when they host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
Orlando at Miami 7:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat have been concerned about the team defense most of the season but showed what it was capable of on that end in a 105-89 win over the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The Heat will try to keep the intensity up and push the winning streak to four in a row when they host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
Memphis at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies endured a recent slump in which they struggled to make stops on the defensive end, but the team has turned that around in a dramatic way. The Grizzlies will try to push their winning streak to three games while maintaining an impressive stretch on defense Wednesday night when they visit a Brooklyn Nets squad that is coming off a phenomenal comeback win in Boston.
Utah at New York 7:30 PM ET
The New York Knicks are coming off one of their most impressive wins of the season and will try to make it two in a row against playoff hopefuls from the Western Conference when they host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. The Knicks snapped Houston's six-game winning streak with a 125-123 triumph over the Rockets on Monday.
Chicago at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls aim for their first two-game winning streak - as well as their first road victory - since late January when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Following an eight-game losing streak, the Bulls have split their last four games, picking up a 109-107 win over visiting Dallas on Monday.
New Orleans at Dallas 9:30 PM ET
Young stars Zion Williamson and Luka Doncic are expected to be on the same floor Wednesday when the New Orleans Pelicans visit the Dallas Mavericks. Williamson is averaging 24.2 points through 16 NBA games while Doncic is an All-Star with 21 career triple-doubles as he approaches the latter stages of his second season.
Washington at Portland 10:00 PM ET
All-Star guard Damian Lillard could return to action when the Portland Trail Blazers host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Lillard has missed the past six games due to a groin injury and Portland has gone 2-4 without its leader.
