Preview Roundups
December 01, 2018
Milwaukee at New York 5:00 PM ET
The Milwaukee Bucks are more than just Giannis Antetokounmpo, and when the supporting cast steps up, the team is very dangerous. The Bucks will try to pull off consecutive wins when they visit the New York Knicks for a brief one-game road trip.
Golden State at Detroit 7:00 PM ET
Point guard Stephen Curry returns from an 11-game absence when the Golden State Warriors attempt to end their recent road woes with a game against the host Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Curry was sidelined with a strained left groin injury and he will look to help the Warriors halt a five-game road losing streak.
Brooklyn at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets attempt to bounce back from their fifth consecutive setback when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday. Brooklyn nearly ended its skid on Friday but ultimately fell 131-125 in double-overtime against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.
Toronto at Cleveland 8:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors will hope to avoid a letdown when they follow up a dramatic home win against the defending champs with a visit to the sinking Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Raptors have won a season-high seven in a row, including Thursday's 131-128 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Chicago at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets look to follow up their best performance of the campaign when they host the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Houston halted a four-game slide with a convincing 136-105 rout of the San Antonio Spurs on Friday and faces a Chicago squad that has dropped a season-worst five straight games.
Boston at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves have done well to recover from the Jimmy Butler saga and can move above .500 for the first time this season when they host the Boston Celtics on Saturday. A 128-89 rout of the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday gave the Timberwolves four straight wins and seven in nine games since they traded away Butler.
Indiana at Sacramento 10:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings are beginning to fade after a hot start and dropped the first two of a three-game homestand to fall a game under .500. The Kings will try to avoid a winless homestand and get back to even when they host the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
