Preview Roundups
February 13, 2018
Miami at Toronto 7:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors ascended to the top of the Eastern Conference on the strength of a five-game winning streak and intend to remain in the No. 1 spot. The Raptors will try to push the winning streak to six in a row when they host the Miami Heat on Tuesday.
Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks look to build upon a winning road trip when they return home to host the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. A 111-104 victory at Orlando on Saturday gave the Bucks a 3-1 trip, as well as an 8-2 record since Joe Prunty took over as head coach.
Houston at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are winners of eight in a row and have a chance to go into the All-Star break in first place in the Western Conference with a couple more wins and a little help. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who host the Rockets on Tuesday, are looking for their own momentum heading into the break and have not lost on their home floor since Dec. 16.
Cleveland at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
The new-look Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a great start, and the fresh influx of players seems to be rejuvenating the team. The Cavaliers will try to earn their second win with Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., George Hill and Rodney Hood on board when they visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
Sacramento at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The battle to avoid the basement in the Western Conference takes on a head-to-head feel when the Dallas Mavericks host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. The Mavericks sit percentage points ahead of the Kings after dropping eight of their last 10 games.
San Antonio at Denver 10:30 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets had trouble slowing LaMarcus Aldridge two weeks ago but won't have to worry about the All-Star power forward when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Aldridge sat out Monday's 101-99 loss to Utah and also will miss the game against Denver due to a balky right knee.
