Blake Griffin is getting his first taste of the Detroit Pistons' streakiness, and he will try to help them end their latest slide when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. The Pistons endured losing streaks of seven and eight contests earlier this season and produced their second five-game winning streak of the campaign with Griffin on the roster this month, but they've dropped two in a row after suffering a 118-115 loss at Atlanta on Sunday.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a golden opportunity to finish off a perfect homestand when they host the stumbling New York Knicks on Monday. The Sixers have claimed the first three contests of their four-game stretch at Wells Fargo Center by an average of 15 points and the Knicks, who have lost six in a row and will be playing the second half of a back-to-back set, figure to offer little resistance against a unit that's clicking on all cylinders.

The Los Angeles Clippers tired late on Saturday in the second night of a back-to-back and watched their three-game winning streak end with a 112-98 loss at the Philadelphia 76ers. The Clippers, who earned an emotional win over former teammate Blake Griffin and the Detroit Pistons on Friday, will try to regroup in time to continue the road trip by visiting the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

The Orlando Magic used a three-game winning streak to climb out of the Eastern Conference basement and are hoping one loss doesn't send them spiraling back down. The Magic, who fell to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday to end the winning streak, will try to bounce back when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

The Utah Jazz continue to steamroll through opponents and finally are rewarded with a block of games at home, beginning with Monday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The Jazz claimed their ninth straight victory in nine different locations with Sunday's 115-96 triumph at Portland and carry the franchise's longest run since 2010 into a six-game homestand.

The Golden State Warriors spent most of the last two weeks racking up technical fouls and looking little like a cohesive unit poised to win a third championship in four years, but an impressive win over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday seemed to settle things. The Warriors will try to make it through another contest without picking up a technical foul when they host the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
