Preview Roundups
February 04, 2017
New Orleans at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards just don't lose at home anymore, and barely lose on the road as well. The Wizards will try to lock up their 17th straight home win and the 14th victory in the last 16 overall games when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
Orlando at Atlanta 7:00 PM ET
Tim Hardaway Jr. has flourished for the Atlanta Hawks the past month, helping lead his team into Saturday’s home contest against the Orlando Magic as winners of 14 out of 19 games. Hardaway Jr. scored a career-high 33 points as Atlanta rallied from a 20-point, fourth-quarter deficit Thursday at Houston, and is averaging 14.6 points in 14 games since Kyle Korver was dealt to Cleveland.
Detroit at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers seek their first six-game winning streak of the season and look to continue their recent mastery of the Detroit Pistons when the teams meet Saturday in Indianapolis. The Pacers notched their second five-game winning streak in a little over a month with a 106-97 victory at Brooklyn on Friday.
Philadelphia at Miami 7:30 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers recently spent some time as the hot Eastern Conference team pulling itself up out of the basement and making a run at a playoff spot, but that designation has shifted squarely to the Miami Heat. The Heat will try to push their NBA-best winning streak to 10 straight games when they host the 76ers on Saturday.
Charlotte at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets are enduring a deep slump, and things are just getting worse on the road. The Hornets will try to snap a six-game slide and avoid a sweep on the three-game Western Conference swing when they visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Milwaukee at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
Second-year shooting guard Devin Booker continues to display that he will be a potent scorer for many years to come and the Phoenix standout attempts to help the Suns to another victory when they host the struggling Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Booker banked home the winning 20-footer at the buzzer Friday to cap a 33-point effort as Phoenix snapped a five-game losing streak and posted a 105-103 victory over the host Sacramento Kings.
Denver at San Antonio 9:00 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs typically enjoy success at home against Denver and they attempt to record their ninth consecutive win over the Nuggets at AT&T Center when the teams meet Saturday. All-Star small forward Kawhi Leonard scored 34 points in San Antonio's most recent home win over Denver — a 118-104 decision Jan. 19.
Memphis at Minnesota 9:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies wrap up a season-long six-game road trip Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Memphis had its three-game win streak snapped with a 114-102 loss in Oklahoma City on Friday as its lead over the Thunder slipped to a half-game for sixth place in the Western Conference.
Golden State at Sacramento 10:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors have few issues with seeing Sacramento on the schedule as it typically means it is time to add to the win column. Golden State seeks it 14th consecutive victory over the Kings on Saturday when it hopes to have All-Star power forward Draymond Green back in the lineup.
