Preview Roundups
February 05, 2017
Toronto at Brooklyn 12:00 PM ET
In need of a win to snap out of a funk, the Toronto Raptors will try to take advantage of the worst team in the NBA when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon. Playing once again without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan (ankle), the Raptors fell 102-94 at Orlando on Friday and have dropped eight of 10 overall.
L.A. Clippers at Boston 2:00 PM ET
Paul Pierce will make his final regular-season visit to Boston when his Los Angeles Clippers take on the streaking Celtics on Sunday afternoon. The future Hall-of-Famer played 15 seasons - 10 as an All-Star - in Beantown and helped the Celtics win their 17th NBA title in 2008, leaving in 2013 as the franchise's second-leading scorer (24,021 points) behind John Havlicek.
Portland at Oklahoma City 3:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder have put a painful losing streak in the past and now look to string together back-to-back wins when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday afternoon. The Thunder dropped both ends of a difficult road trip to Cleveland and San Antonio by a combined 28 points, then returned home to lose by 28 against Chicago.
