Hello everyone! It’s a busy night of NBA action, and it’s Wednesday night, so that means there are two games on ESPN. Several games are already being played, so let’s get this show on the road!
7:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Washington Wizards at Philadelphia 76ers. This will be a tough game for John Wall’s Wizards with Bradley Beal still out with hamstring issues. Nerlens Noel is still out after surgery on his inflamed plica. Halftime: PHI 59, WAS 48.
7:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: New Orleans Pelicans at Orlando Magic. Anthony Davis is sitting tonight, still healing from back pain and getting kneed in the quad, so this one has been rough going for the Pelicans, but Terrence Jones is putting on a show, and Archie Goodwin is contributing as well. Jodie Meeks is still out with that foot injury. Halftime: ORL 52, NOP 40.
7:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers. No LeBron tonight (rest). DeAndre Liggins has not played during the last five games for the Cavs, but he’s gotten 10 minutes tonight so far. Halftime: IND 50, CLE 45.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Dallas Mavericks at Boston Celtics. James Young had 6 minutes of playing time in the first half. Halftime: BOS 39, DAL 31.
8:00pm ET on ESPN: Golden State Warriors at Toronto Raptors. Former Wildcat Dwane Casey is looking to coach his team to victory, including fellow former Cat Patrick Patterson, who averages over 30 minutes per game. At the end of the first quarter, TOR 38, GSW 34.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder. You won’t see Kyle Wiltjer in this one, as he’s been assigned to the Rockets’ D-League affiliate, but you are sure to see Enes Kanter coming off the bench. At the start of the second quarter, the score is tied, 38-all.
9:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets. This is the game to watch if you want to see the most former Cats tonight, as is usually the case when the Suns are in the building. Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, Brandon Knight, Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray are all available in this one.
10:30pm ET on ESPN: Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Clippers. Andrew Harrison played 26 minutes in the Grizzlies’ last game, so he could be on the floor quite a bit tonight to provide rest, as the Clippers’ fast pace takes a toll on the starters’ energy level, especially Mike Conley.
10:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: San Antonio Spurs at Sacramento Kings. You won’t see Skal Labissiere tonight as he’s been assigned to the D-League, but DeMarcus Cousins and Willie Cauley-Stein will be ready, willing and able to do battle with LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs. This game will be a true battle of the bigs.
There you have it, a quick rundown of where our former Cats are playing tonight. Enjoy!
