What NBA games are on today, Sunday 3 April?

With just six days remaining in the regular NBA season, games are running out in the East and West as the final postseason positions are strived for.

Sunday NBA action: Heat at Raptors

For Kyle Lowry, it will be an emotional occasion when he makes his long-awaited return to Toronto on Sunday night to play for the Miami Heat against the Raptors.

Lowry, who played nine seasons for the Raptors, missed the first three games of the four-game season series against his former team because he was out for personal reasons. The Heat acquired Lowry in a sign-and-trade with the Raptors in the offseason.

“I’ve tried to avoid, for a long time, thinking about it, but it’s right here,” Lowry said before the Heat defeated the host Chicago Bulls 127-109 Saturday night, led by Jimmy Butler’s 22 points.

“I’m looking forward to it, just being able to go to a place I’ve called home for so long and a place I still call home, that has a dear and special place in my heart.” Lowry said. “It’s going to be emotional.”

Lowry was a key player in the Raptors’ NBA championship season in 2018-19. “I’m sure they’ll cheer me for a while, and then if we start to win, boo me,” said Lowry, who had 19 points and 10 assists on Saturday. “It’s all love and it’s just being able to show the appreciation I want to and I’m sure they’ll appreciate me for what I’ve been able to do.”

Lowry also could witness former teammate Fred VanVleet eclipse one of his team records. VanVleet, who was 5-of-16 from beyond the arc in the road win over the Orlando Magic on Friday, needs three 3-pointers to overtake Lowry’s team record of 238 made 3-pointers for one season set in 2017-18.
