Preview Roundups
October 28, 2019
Indiana at Detroit 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers are still looking for their first win of the young season and already get a shot at some revenge when they visit the Detroit Pistons on Monday. The Pistons earned a 119-110 victory at Indiana in the season opener but dropped the next two games at home and are trying to avoid a three-game home losing streak.
Chicago at New York 7:00 PM ET
After finishing with the worst record in the NBA in 2018-19, the New York Knicks have quickly found themselves in the basement early this season. They'll try to pick up their first win in four tries when they host the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 PM ET
Trae Young became one of the bright young stars of the NBA during his rookie season, and the Atlanta Hawks point guard is off to a sizzling start to his sophomore campaign entering Monday’s home contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Young, who scored 38 points in an opening-night victory at Detroit, finished with 39 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in Saturday’s 103-99 home triumph over Orlando - scoring Atlanta’s final eight points of the game.
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
Pascal Siakam is warming to the role as a go-to player through the first three games of the season and the 25-year-old power forward looks to continue his hot streak when the Toronto Raptors host the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Siakam is averaging 28.7 points along with 10.7 rebounds, and has drained 8-of-17 from 3-point range to help the Raptors win two of three contests to start the post-Kawhi Leonard era.
Oklahoma City at Houston 8:00 PM ET
Russell Westbrook starred for the Oklahoma City Thunder for 11 seasons, winning two scoring titles, one Most Valuable Player award and reaching the All-Star Game eight times. He will compete against the Thunder for the first time Wednesday when he leads the Houston Rockets into the finale of a season-opening three-game homestand.
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 PM ET
Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo missed starting the season with consecutive triple-doubles by one assist and the reigning MVP tries to continue his stat-filled start when the Bucks host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Antetokounmpo had a total of 59 points, 30 rebounds and 20 assists during a season-opening 117-111 victory at Houston and a 131-126 overtime loss to Miami on Saturday, but fouled out of both contests.
Golden State at New Orleans 8:00 PM ET
After years of dominance in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors have barely been able to put up a fight through their first two games this season. They will try to crack into the win column for the first time in 2019-20 when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday in the second half of a back-to-back.
Portland at San Antonio 8:30 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs look to start 3-0 for the third time in four seasons when they complete their three-game homestand Monday against the talented Portland Trail Blazers. The Spurs rallied to win a sloppy opener against New York on Wednesday before getting a total of 53 points from LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan in a much sharper effort to knock off Washington 124-122 three days later.
Utah at Phoenix 10:00 PM ET
The Phoenix Suns are showing some fight in the early going as they try to turn the franchise around following nine straight playoff-less seasons. The Suns will try to knock off another Western Conference contender when they host the Utah Jazz on Monday.
Denver at Sacramento 10:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings came into the season believing this would be the year they snapped their postseason drought, but so far the results aren't matching the expectations. The Kings will try to avoid a four-game losing streak to begin the season when they host the undefeated Denver Nuggets on Monday.
Charlotte at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers hit a speed bump on the way to a perfect three-game start last time out and look to rebound when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. The Clippers rolled to double-digit victories over a pair of Pacific Division rivals to open the season before allowing 50 percent shooting overall and 75 points in the second half of a 130-122 loss at Phoenix on Saturday.
