Preview Roundups
October 30, 2018
Miami at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Miami Heat opened their first homestand with a loss to the Charlotte Hornets and they hope to avoid the same fate when they begin a three-game road trip at Charlotte on Tuesday. The Hornets topped the Heat 113-112 in Miami earlier this month behind 39 points from Kemba Walker.
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:00 PM ET
The Cleveland Cavaliers will hit the reset button after firing head coach Tyronn Lue when they host the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. Lue was let go after the team fell to 0-6 with Saturday's 119-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers and the organization handed the reins -- for now -- to Larry Drew as it tries to snap out of a horrendous early-season spell.
Sacramento at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Sacramento Kings seek their fourth consecutive victory when they visit the struggling Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Sacramento opened a four-game road excursion in stellar fashion while recording a 123-113 triumph over the Miami Heat on Monday.
Detroit at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Celtics handed the Detroit Pistons their first loss on Saturday as Jaylen Brown broke out of an early slump and the team turned up the pressure on the defensive end. The Celtics will try to make it two in a row over the Pistons when they host Detroit in the back end of a home-and-home set on Tuesday.
Philadelphia at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors are no longer undefeated and they aim to get back on the winning track when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Toronto set a franchise mark with a 6-0 start but the impressive streak reached an end with Monday's 124-109 loss to the unbeaten Milwaukee Bucks.
Portland at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Houston Rockets are off to a dreadful 1-4 start and attempt to snap a three-game slide when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Reigning MVP James Harden (hamstring) will miss second straight game for a squad that has lost its three previous home games by an average of 16.7 points.
Washington at Memphis 8:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies look like a much different team at home in the early going and will try to improve to 3-0 in their own arena when they host the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. The Grizzlies are averaging 124 points in two home games while posting an average of 89 in three games on the road.
L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 8:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder finally left the ranks of the winless with a 117-110 home win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday and intend to continue an upward trajectory. The Thunder will try to make it back-to-back victories when they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.
