Happy Friday, everyone! It’s ESPN’s turn to nationally televise the NBA tonight, and we also have several games available via NBA League Pass. Remember, the free preview is still going on, so get everything sorted out before the games start later on this evening. Find the channels in your cable/satellite lineup, install the apps on your streaming devices & make sure you have an NBA.com account. Here are the games we can see tonight.
7:00pm ET on ESPN: Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors. The defending champions are traveling up north to face another strong Eastern Conference foe. DeAndre Liggins and Patrick Patterson are both active, and both will likely be coming off the bench for their respective teams.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Indiana Pacers at Brooklyn Nets. No former University of Kentucky players in this one.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Orlando Magic at Detroit Pistons. Jodie Meeks is still out, so there will be no former UK players in this one, either.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder. If you want to see former Wildcats, this is your game, because five of them will be available: Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Devin Booker, Tyler Ulis and Enes Kanter. That’s plenty reason to tune in.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist should be in the starting five alongside fellow backcourt star Kemba Walker, and Aaron Harrison will come off the bench.
8:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks. Three-point-threat Kyle Wiltjer could see time off the bench in this one. Wiltjer and Ryan Anderson are two additions in Houston who can shoot the lights out if they get going.
9:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz. Julius Randle is a probable starter for the Lakers tonight, and Trey Lyles contributes valuable minutes from the bench. We could see these two duke it out in the paint for a while.
9:30pm ET on ESPN: The final game of the night features Anthony Davis, coming off that huge performance in their home opener, scoring 50 points in a loss to the Nuggets. He and the Pelicans are going up against the Warriors. They need no further introduction. This will be a battle, but Anthony is always ready.
There you have it, tonight’s lineup of quality NBA action. Enjoy!
