The Toronto Raptors are now the owners of the longest winning streak in the Eastern Conference at five straight and kicked off a four-game road trip by sprinting past the Memphis Grizzlies 116-107 on Friday. The Raptors will try to make it six in a row when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

The Detroit Pistons are losers of five straight and have the misfortune of following the defending NBA champions with the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons, who dropped a 102-98 decision to the Golden State Warriors at home on Friday, will try to snap the slide when they host the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

The Indiana Pacers just cooled off the hottest team in the NBA on Friday with a 106-102 win over Cleveland, snapping the Cavaliers' 13-game winning streak. The Pacers will try to win their fourth straight game and 10th in the last 13 contests when they host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

The Dallas Mavericks looked like they were taking a step forward with a pair of strong performances in wins at home, but the road is proving to be a more difficult challenge. The Mavericks will try to avoid being swept on a three-game road trip when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.

The New Orleans Pelicans look to end an uneven four-game homestand with a victory when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The Pelicans are 1-2 on the string at home, with losses to one of the best teams in the league (Golden State) and one of the worst (Sacramento) sandwiching a victory over Denver.

The New York Knicks' current slide began with a loss at Atlanta last month, a result they will try to avenge when they host the Hawks on Sunday. The Knicks were 10-7 before falling 116-104 to the Hawks on Nov. 24 and are now 12-13 after dropping a 104-102 decision in Chicago on Saturday.
