Preview Roundups
March 10, 2019
Chicago at Detroit 12:00 PM ET
Blake Griffin stepped up to lead his team in the fourth quarter of a 112-104 victory at the Chicago Bulls, and he and his teammates are hoping to make it a little easier the next time. The Pistons will try to sweep the home-and-home set when they host the Bulls in the finale on Sunday.
Toronto at Miami 3:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat are surging with wins in four straight games, vaulting themselves into the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Heat will try to keep rolling when they host a team they could see in the first round of the playoffs in the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
Indiana at Philadelphia 3:30 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers are trying to jump up into the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference but hit a bit of a snag on the road with All-Star center Joel Embiid sidelined. The 76ers will try to get things right at home when they host the team directly in front of them in the standings - the Indiana Pacers - on Sunday.
New Orleans at Atlanta 6:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans are playing out the string in a disappointing campaign, but they have a three-game road winning streak heading into Sunday's visit to the Atlanta Hawks. The Pelicans followed up the three consecutive victories on the road by losing two straight at home, including Friday's 127-104 setback to Toronto while playing without star forward Anthony Davis.
Orlando at Memphis 6:00 PM ET
The Orlando Magic are fighting for their playoff lives and opened a stretch against sub-.500 teams with a win. They'll try to make it two straight in the favorable seven-game span when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
Houston at Dallas 7:00 PM ET
The hottest team in the NBA is the Houston Rockets, who are riding a seven-game winning streak that pushed them into the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. The healthy and confident Rockets will try to make it eight straight when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
New York at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves are hanging by a thread in the Western Conference playoff race and now must hold their breath on franchise cornerstone Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns left Saturday's overtime win over Washington with a knee injury and his status is uncertain heading into a matchup with the visiting New York Knicks on Sunday.
Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:00 PM ET
After barely being challenged in a two-game homestand, the Milwaukee Bucks will try to snap a two-game road losing streak when they visit the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. The Bucks topped Indiana and Charlotte by an average of 18 points on the homestand to become the first team to hit the 50-win mark this season.
Phoenix at Golden State 8:30 PM ET
Whenever the two-time defending NBA champion but struggling Golden State Warriors turn in a performance worthy of their status, it seems they are ready to turn the corner. Golden State will try to validate its latest strong effort while increasing its Western Conference lead when it tries for its 19th straight victory over the West-worst Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Oakland.
