Houston Rockets vs. Atlanta Hawks Preview, What to Watch
The game between the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks scheduled for Saturday has been postponed because of a winter storm.
The NBA said the decision was made “to prioritize the safety of the players, fans and staff due to the severe weather and hazardous icy conditions in the Atlanta area.”
The league said a date for a rescheduled game will be announced at a later time. The Rockets' team flight arrived in Atlanta before the postponement was announced.
A winter storm dumped snow and ice on the Atlanta area Friday and roads were expected to refreeze Saturday night.
As fallen trees on power lines became a common problem, the number of power outages in the Atlanta area increased gradually on Friday night. Over 110,000 consumers, primarily in the Atlanta region, were without power.
A Delta Air Lines aircraft headed for Minneapolis aborted takeoff on Friday, injuring four passengers. According to Morgan Durrant, a spokesman for Delta, the aircraft had an engine issue.
Officials were unable to determine whether the incident was related to the weather, even though it occurred during the snowstorm that caused numerous cancellations and delays at Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world.
Using inflatable slides, the Boeing 757-300's 201 passengers, two pilots, and five flight attendants were evacuated before being transported by bus back to a concourse. Three of the injured travelers received minimal medical attention at the airport, while one was transported to a hospital.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Philadelphia 76ers Preview, What to Watch
The NBA cross-conference game between the Philadelphia 76ers (17-27) and the Los Angeles Lakers (26-18) is scheduled for Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center. In the Western Conference, the Lakers are ranked fifth, and in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers are ranked eleventh. This is our prediction for the match.
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming into this game with a two-game winning run after turning around their play. This comes after they lost seven straight games and had a bad run of outcomes.
The 76ers defeated the Chicago Bulls 109-97 on the road in their most recent game. Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed 22 points, while Tyrese Maxey led the team with 31 points.
The squad has only won two of their last six games at home, which is disheartening.
They did, however, end a three-game losing trend by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in their most recent game.
Right now, the Los Angeles Lakers are playing better. They had won four straight games going into this one.
On Tuesday, the Lakers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 112-107. LeBron James scored 22 points, while Anthony Davis led the club with a season-high 42 points.
The visitors have won six of their last seven games, it must be said. In their struggle for a better standing in the West, this has been essential.
Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Preview, What to Watch
Stephen Curry looks to snap out of a shooting slump against an opponent that has given him trouble in the past when the Golden State Warriors host the Utah Jazz on Tuesday in San Francisco.
Curry missed all eight of his second-half shots, finished 4-for-17 and totaled 13 points when the Warriors were beaten 118-108 by the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
Although Curry was selected an All-Star for the 11th time last week, he has recorded four consecutive games with 21 or fewer points. His season average is down to 22.3, which is on pace for his lowest in a full campaign since 2011-12.
Curry has shot just 38.1 percent overall and 32.4 percent from 3-point range over the four contests.
After the loss to the Lakers, Golden State's third defeat in its past four games, the U.S. Olympic hero denied that a sore right thumb has been the root of his shooting woes.
Over the course of the four games, Curry has only shot 38.1 percent overall and 32.4 percent from 3-point range.
The U.S. Olympic hero refuted that his shooting difficulties were caused by a sore right thumb during Golden State's loss to the Lakers, which was the team's third loss in four games.
Since December 2022, the Warriors have defeated the Jazz six times in a row, but Curry hasn't always been the main factor. at a 127-86 victory at Salt Lake City on October 25, he scored 20 points despite shooting 7 for 20 (4 for 13 from 3-point range), and he has been restricted to 16 points or less in three of his previous six games versus Utah.
Curry's lifetime scoring average of 23.3 versus Utah ranks fourth among opponents in the Western Conference. In 39 games against the Jazz, his 3-point shooting percentage of 41.1 percent places him fourth against Western opponents.
The Jazz were dealing with the front end of a back-to-back Monday night at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, while the Warriors had Sunday and Monday off. Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton each scored 19 points, but Utah lost 125-110 for the sixth time in a row.
Isaiah Collier, a rookie point guard who missed the October game due to a hamstring ailment, will make his Warriors debut.
After the Georgia native was regarded as the nation's top prep prospect in 2023, Collier will be returning to the Golden State, where he played for one season at the University of Southern California.
Collier has scored 20 and 23 points and recorded two double-doubles during the nine of the last 11 games that he has started. In a loss to Memphis on Saturday, he finished with eight points, eight assists, and five rebounds. On Monday, he scored 12 points and pulled down eight rebounds against the Bucks.
More significantly, he and Sexton have been getting along well ever since they got into a heated argument in a Utah huddle during a game against the Brooklyn Nets earlier this month.
Collier, who is defensive-minded, is likely to start guarding Curry. With steals in each of Utah's last five games, including two against Memphis and a season-high three against Milwaukee, the rookie has already established himself at that end of the court.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Portland Trail Blazers Preview, What to Watch
Lillard has scored 20 points or more in 11 consecutive games going into the Tuesday matchup. During that time, he is scoring 27.3 points on average.
In the second game of a back-to-back set, he makes a comeback. Milwaukee won for the seventh time in their last 11 games against Utah, shooting a sizzling 60.5% from the field.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (16 of 23) and Lillard (14 of 22) both scored 35 points. Antetokounmpo pulled down 18 rebounds as well.
Antetokounmpo has scored 20 points in ten consecutive games. During that streak, he is averaging 13.6 rebounds and 31.4 points.
The two-time league MVP Antetokounmpo and Lillard have a good rapport, according to Lillard.
The significance of Damian Lillard's second return to Portland pales in comparison to his first.
The excitement around Lillard's homecoming, which was highly anticipated last season, is considerably lower this time around as he and the Milwaukee Bucks go to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.
With 19,736 career points and 2,387 3-point shots, Lillard is the Trail Blazers' all-time leader and served as their face for 11 seasons.
Last season, when Lillard was presented prior to the game, he received a lengthy, enthusiastic applause. However, the Trail Blazers spoiled the moment with a 119-116 victory, making his return bittersweet. Lillard finished with seven assists and 25 points.
Portland defeated the Bucks 105-102 on the road earlier this month. Antetokounmpo recorded 31 points and 11 rebounds for Milwaukee, while Anfernee Simons scored 28 points for the Trail Blazers. Lillard made 5 of 15 shots to score 16 points.
In the first game of a seven-game homestand, Portland defeated the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 118-108 on Sunday, ending a season-high four-game winning streak.
Scoot Henderson, a backup for the Trail Blazers, scored 25 points and nailed five 3-pointers for his fifth 20-point performance of the month.
In the 2023 draft, Henderson was selected with the third overall choice. Lillard requested a trade because Portland chose to use the pick rather than exchange it for a veteran.

While Toumani Camara scored a career-high 24 points and tied his career-high five 3-pointers (in five attempts), Portland's Deni Avdija provided season-highs of 28 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds in the defeat to Oklahoma City.
