Preview Roundups
October 24, 2017
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 PM ET
Dwyane Wade's time in the starting lineup is over by his own request as the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare to host the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday. Wade averaged 5.7 points while starting his first three games with the club before approaching coach Tyronn Lue about fitting in better if he were on the second unit.
Brooklyn at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets are trying to play with pace, crash the lane and fire from long distance in coach Kenny Atkinson's offense and so far, it's working. The Nets will try to earn their third win - second over the Magic - and keep up the pace when they visit Orlando on Tuesday.
New York at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Celtics finally earned their first win and then got three days off to figure out how to keep their emotions in check and move forward without Gordon Hayward. Kyrie Irving will be a little lighter in the wallet by the time the Celtics try to even their record against the visiting New York Knicks on Tuesday.
Indiana at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
Andrew Wiggins is fresh off a dramatic game-winning shot and the 22-year-old shooting guard seeks to post his fourth consecutive 20-point outing to open the campaign when the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. Wiggins banked in a last-second shot from more than 30 feet out to give the Timberwolves a 115-113 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
New Orleans at Portland 10:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans snapped an 11-game losing streak in Portland when they closed the regular season six months ago and look to notch another victory when they visit the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The Pelicans hadn't won in Portland since Nov. 26, 2010 prior to posting the 103-100 victory in a game in which New Orleans stars Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins missed due to injuries, and the Portland backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were held out to rest for the playoffs.
Utah at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Utah Jazz defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in a seven-game playoff series last season but both teams saw a star player leave as they meet for the first time this season on Tuesday in Salt Lake City. Clippers point guard Chris Paul was traded to the Houston Rockets after the first-round series loss while Jazz small forward Gordon Hayward departed as a free agent to sign with the Boston Celtics.
