Preview Roundups
December 19, 2017
Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia 76ers look to pull out of a damaging slump and should have their leading scorer back in the lineup when they host the struggling Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. The 76ers have dropped back-to-back contests - each by two points - and six of their last seven after suffering a 117-115 setback at Chicago on Monday without center Joel Embiid, who sat out the opener of the back-to-back set to help manage his workload.
New Orleans at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Wizards aim to continue their tradition of success against New Orleans when they host the Pelicans on Tuesday. Washington has won 10 of the past 11 meetings with the Pelicans, and won last season's two meetings by an average of 13.5 points.
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
LeBron James is on a roll and looks to record his fifth triple-double in the past six games when the Cleveland Cavaliers visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. James is averaging 25.8 points, 13.4 assists and 11 rebounds during a five-game winning streak that is part of 18 victories in the past 19 games for the Cavaliers.
