Where to Watch the Wildcats: NBA Games on November 4, 2016
Hello everyone! We have a nine-game lineup today. Let’s get right into finding which ones include former University of Kentucky Wildcats.
There are two nationally televised games:
8:00pm ET on ESPN: New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls. This will be the first time Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah have played in Chicago since their move to the Knicks, and they will face the new “big three” in Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler.
10:30pm ET on ESPN: Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers. GSW put a lickin’ on the Oklahoma City Thunder last night, so they might be a little tired as they face the rested LakeShow youngsters: Julius Randle, D’Angelo Russell and Brandon Ingram.
Here are the rest of the games for those who subscribe to NBA League Pass:
7:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards. John Wall & company are still trying to get their first win, sitting on an 0-4 record right now. Here’s hoping they can get their first W tonight against a team that features three-point dynamo Kyle Korver and the newly-acquired Dwight Howard.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors. Head coach Dwane Casey leads his team, including Patrick Patterson, into battle. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry are a huge backcourt threat to any team. After losing their big three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh during the last few years, Miami is rebuilding their identity, and they have a good young core to do it.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Charlotte Hornets at Brooklyn Nets. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is back into the swing of things here at the start of the season. The Hornets face possibly the worst team in the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets, although BKN has somehow won two games. MKG is always worth the price of admission, though. Aaron Harrison will be there as well to come off the bench.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies. The Clippers are more flashy and popular than the Grizz, but you can’t underestimate Marc Gasol, Tony Allen and Mike Conley. The Clippers should have their hands full. Andrew Harrison has been playing quite a bit so far this season for the Grizz.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Pelicans. This team matchup is second only to PHX vs SAC as far as potential for seeing the most former Cats on the floor at any one time. There will be six UK players in the Smoothie King Center tonight for this one: Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, Brandon Knight, Tyler Ulis, Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones. Both teams have started out painfully slow, but the good news is… one of them has to win. Right? Right.
9:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz. This one will be especially interesting looking at the center position. The Spurs have LaMarcus Aldridge / Pau Gasol, and the Jazz have Rudy Gobert / Boris Diaw. SAS are always worth watching because they are so tremendously solid, sticking to their team basketball mindset. Trey Lyles should come off the bench tonight for the Jazz.
There you have it, the eight games that feature former UK Cats. Which game(s) will you watch? Enjoy!
