Preview Roundups
November 21, 2018
Indiana at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
There is no player in the NBA hotter than Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker, who totaled 103 points in the last two games. Walker will try to put together another highlight-worthy performance and drag the Hornets to back-to-back wins when they host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
New Orleans at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Jimmy Butler era in Philadelphia is off to a strong start with wins in the last three games. The 76ers will try to make it four straight when they host a New Orleans Pelicans squad on Wednesday that averaged 131.3 points in winning their last three contests.
Toronto at Atlanta 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors have put a recent three-game losing streak in the rear-view mirror with back-to-back wins, the latest on a last-second shot. They will try to build upon the dramatic triumph and finish their four-game road trip with a winning record when they visit the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.
New York at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Celtics are struggling with six losses in their past nine games and they look to change their fortunes when they host the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Boston is just one game over .500 due to its recent funk while New York is already 10 games below after losing its last six contests.
L.A. Lakers at Cleveland 8:00 PM ET
The response shouldn't be as vicious as the last time he returned to Cleveland after leaving the Cavaliers, but LeBron James isn't thinking too hard about it. James will make his return on Wednesday, when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Cavaliers.
Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
Two teams experiencing very little success square off when the Phoenix Suns visit the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. Phoenix owns the third-worst record in the NBA and is winless in seven road games while Chicago is just a half-game better after losing its past four contests.
Detroit at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are regaining their swagger and look to extend their winning streak to five games when they host the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Rockets are looking for a sweep of a three-game homestand before the teams engage in a rematch in Detroit on Friday.
Portland at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
CJ McCollum scored a season-high 40 points against Milwaukee earlier this month and the Portland Trail Blazers guard looks for another strong outing against the host Bucks on Wednesday. McCollum made 17-of-26 shots, including five 3-pointers, as Portland posted a 118-103 home victory on Nov. 6.
Denver at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets have seen a hot start evaporate and they look to regain their season-opening form when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Denver was clicking on all cylinders during a 9-1 start but has since dropped six of its last seven contests.
Brooklyn at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Dallas Mavericks will try to bounce back from a tough road loss when they put a four-game home winning streak on the line against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. The Mavericks had won four in a row overall and were tied with the surging Memphis Grizzlies going into the fourth quarter Monday night before falling 98-88.
Memphis at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
After flirting with last place in the Western Conference nearly all of last season -- finishing with the second-worst record in the NBA -- the Memphis Grizzlies are eyeing the top spot in the conference. The Grizzlies aim for their fifth straight win when they open a two-game road trip at the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
Sacramento at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Utah Jazz return from an uneven five-game road trip for a quick stay at home when they host the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. After opening the trip with a solid win over a surging Memphis team, the Jazz lost two straight -- scoring 68 points in a defeat at Dallas -- and then posted a very impressive victory at Boston, only to get throttled two nights later in Indiana.
Oklahoma City at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
The fun-loving Golden State Warriors are a thing of the - very recent - past, and the discontent led the team to losses in each of its last three games and five of seven. The Warriors will try to turn things around when they return home to host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
