Spurs Looking to Continue Winning Streak

The blistering hot San Antonio Spurs are looking for their 19th straight win tonight when they play host to Golden State.

Despite the fact they've been unbeatable of late they have not been able to shake Oklahoma City in the Western Conference standings. The Thunder, who have the night off, have won eight of their last 10 and remain just 3 1/2 games back of the Spurs for the top seed in the conference. By the way the last time the Spurs lost was Feb. 21 to the Phoenix Suns.

Miami and Indiana are in a virtual tie for first place in the East. The Heat have the advantage by six percentage points and tonight they are home to the Milwaukee Bucks while the Pacers are hosting Detroit. Indiana has been in a slump, having lost three straight and six of 10.

The Raptors start the day with a 1 ½-game lead over the Nets in the Atlantic Division race. Toronto is home to the Rockets tonight while the Nets are cross town playing the Knicks.

Three teams are currently battling for the final playoff berth in the West. Memphis and Phoenix are tied for the last two spots with records of 44-30 while Dallas is a half game back at 44-31. This evening the Suns are home to the Clippers while Memphis is at Minnesota.

The remaining games this evening feature the Cavaliers at Orlando, Washington at home to Boston, the Bobcats in Philadelphia, Atlanta hosting Chicago, the Pelicans at Denver and the Lakers playing the Kings in Sacramento.
