Elsewhere in theĀ Eastern Conference tonight the Nets host the Pacers, the Pistons host the Magic, and the Hornets visit Miami to take on the Heat in another playoff series rivalry re-kindled.
Out West, the Suns and Thunder tip at 8:00 PM ET followed by the Rockets in Dallas to take on the Mavericks, the Lakers visiting the Jazz, and the Warriors looking to get their first win of the season as they take on the Pelicans in the Big Easy.Ā Anthony Davis hung one of the best fantasy performances ever on the Nuggets to start the season, so itāll be interesting to see how he follows that up tonight.
