Hello everyone! It’s time to take a look at tonight’s NBA schedule to find our former Kentucky Wildcats. There are two nationally televised games on NBA-TV, but only one will feature a former Cat. Let’s take a look at what awaits us this evening.
7:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Charlotte Hornets at Indiana Pacers. Aaron Harrison is back in the D-League with the Greensboro Swarm for now, but Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will be starting for the Hornets, and Kemba Walker is probable as well according to the Hornets’ game notes.
7:30pm ET on NBA-TV: Washington Wizards at Miami Heat. John Wall’s Wizards are really having a tough season this time around, and they face a strong Miami team that’s not having a good showing either, but they’ve got young talent & a star center in Hassan Whiteside.
7:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors. Dwane Casey brings Patrick Patterson, Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan out to battle with the Bucks tonight in Toronto.
8:00pm ET on NBA League Pass: Brooklyn Nets at Houston Rockets. Kyle Wiltjer is back in the D-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers for now, so there will be no former Cats in this one.
8:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks. Jamal Murray continues to improve with the Nuggets. Both of these teams have unfortunate records (9-15 and 5-18 respectively), and the Mavs have had multiple starters out lately due to injuries.
10:30pm ET on NBA-TV: Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Clippers. No former Cats in this one.
10:30pm ET on NBA League Pass: Los Angeles Lakers at Sacramento Kings. This is my pick for game of the night: Julius Randle going up against DeMarcus Cousins and Willie Cauley-Stein. (Skal Labissiere is back in the D-League with the Reno Bighorns right now.) Last time the Lakers came to town, there were some postgame antics between Cousins & Randle. Lakers vs Kings is a big rivalry, so expect the Golden 1 Center to be rocking tonight.
There you have it, a review of where you could see our former Kentucky Wildcats in the NBA tonight. Enjoy!
University of Kentucky alumna. DeMarcus Cousins was my gateway into the NBA. Watching former Kentucky Wildcats thrive in the pros is the best.
