Preview Roundups
December 04, 2018
Chicago at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls fired Fred Hoiberg as coach of the struggling team and Jim Boylen will run the squad when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. Hoiberg went 115-155 in three-plus seasons as coach but the club is a disastrous 5-19 this season.
Orlando at Miami 7:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat have finally cured their ills at home and aim for their first three-game winning streak of the season when they host the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Following a six-game losing streak at AmericanAirlines Arena, the Heat managed to squeak past New Orleans and Utah by a combined seven points to improve to 2-1 on their current four-game homestand.
Portland at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers are experiencing issues after getting off to a strong start. Portland has dropped five of its last six games entering Tuesday's road game against the Dallas Mavericks, who have won nine of their past 12 games.
Sacramento at Phoenix 9:00 PM ET
The top two picks of the 2018 NBA Draft will be on the floor together when the Phoenix Suns host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Top overall pick Deandre Ayton is making an instant impact for the Suns while No. 2 pick Marvin Bagley III is being brought along at a slower pace by the Kings.
San Antonio at Utah 9:00 PM ET
Excuse the Utah Jazz if they need directions to the arena when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. The Jazz have played 10 of their past 12 games on the road and two thirds (16) of their first 24 games have been contested in away venues.
