Preview Roundups
January 17, 2019
New York at Washington 3:00 PM ET
The New York Knicks aren't having much luck generating wins on this side of the Atlantic Ocean and are hoping a trip across the pond can improve their fortunes. The Knicks will try to snap their latest slide at four straight when they face the Washington Wizards in London on Thursday.
Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets finished off a 2-4 road trip with a win at the San Antonio Spurs on an emotional night for reserve point guard Tony Parker. The Hornets will try to find similar success at home when they host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
Philadelphia at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers both showed off how good they can be when everything comes together with blowout wins on Tuesday. The two Eastern Conference contenders will see if either can match that effort when the Pacers host the 76ers on Thursday.
Phoenix at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors came up short on the road on the front end of a back-to-back set and hope to avoid a letdown when they host the lowly Phoenix Suns on Thursday. The Raptors held a late four-point lead on Wednesday before Eastern Conference-rival Boston closed with a 17-4 surge to post a 117-108 home win.
Chicago at Denver 9:00 PM ET
The Denver Nuggets look to bounce back from a thorough whipping when they host the struggling Chicago Bulls on Thursday. The Golden State Warriors set a record with 51 first-quarter points en route to steamrolling the host Nuggets 142-111 on Tuesday.
L.A. Lakers at Oklahoma City 9:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James for the 12th consecutive game when they visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Los Angeles stands 4-7 since James strained his left groin during a Christmas Day victory over the Golden State Warriors.
