January 07, 2018
Utah at Miami 3:30 PM ET
The Miami Heat matched their longest winning streak of the season by beating the New York Knicks in overtime for their third consecutive triumph on Friday. The Heat will try to keep rolling on Sunday, when they host the slumping Utah Jazz.
New York at Dallas 7:00 PM ET
The road remains difficult for the New York Knicks, who will try to secure a rare win away from home when they cap a three-game trip at Dallas on Sunday. The Knicks are 0-2 to begin the excursion following a 107-103 overtime loss in Miami on Friday, and their 3-14 road mark is worse than all but two teams in the NBA.
Oklahoma City at Phoenix 8:00 PM ET
Fresh off an L.A. sweep, the Oklahoma City Thunder are thriving once again as Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony all seem to be on the same page offensively. The Thunder will try to make it three wins in a row when they continue the road trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
San Antonio at Portland 9:00 PM ET
LaMarcus Aldridge finally got himself some well-deserved rest and Kawhi Leonard continued to increase his minutes when the San Antonio Spurs knocked off the Phoenix Suns in a brief stop at home on Friday, but another road trip looms. The Spurs will kick off a three-game west coast trip by visiting the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Atlanta at L.A. Lakers 9:30 PM ET
The worst teams in their respective conferences square off when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Only the Hawks (10) own fewer wins than the Lakers (11), who dropped their last three games by an average of 23 points to run their latest slide to nine straight.
