The games get started in a hurry tonight with four games starting at 7:00. The Hornets and Bulls are the only all-Eastern Conference matchup while the Kings-Cavs, Lakers-Pacers, and Clippers-Sixers are all inter-conference matchups that also tip offĀ at 7:00. Ā At 7:30, the Raptors and Pistons meet in the Motor City in a nice matchup while the Nuggets and Nets meet up in Brooklyn.Ā At 8:00, three more games join the fray asĀ the Hawks and Magic complete their home-and-home, the Blazers visit the Grizz in Memphis, and the Pelicans host the Timberwolves in a matchup of supremely talentedĀ young big men. Ā The final game of the day starts at 9:00 PM ET as the Thunder visit the desert to try to shake off their loss on Saturday night in a thriller at Golden State. OKC takes on the hapless Suns who have won just two of their last 24 games, but there is still fantasy value to be had from some of Phoenixās emerging players.
