Cavs vs Rockets showcase best from East and West: The East’s No.1 seed, the Cleveland Cavaliers, head to Houston to face the No.2 seed in the West. Stars like Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Green and more will be going toe-to-toe in one of the best regular season matchups of the year so far.
Hawks, Pistons jockey for playoff position: There is half the season still to play but there is a logjam forming in the East with three teams (Heat, Magic, Pistons) all within one game of the Hawks for the coveted 6-seed in the East. The Pistons are just a half game back and have a big opportunity tonight as they face the Hawks in Atlanta.
Red-hot Kings get national spotlight: The Kings are tied with the Pacers for the best record in the league this month (8-1) and are 9-1 in their last 10 overall. They will take on their regional rivals, the Warriors, tonight on national TV with a 10:30 ET tipoff on ESPN.
