November 23, 2019
Phoenix at Minnesota 5:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves are suffering through a three-game home losing streak and will only see the home fans on rare occasions over the next few weeks. The Timberwolves will try to give their fans something to cheer about on Saturday when they host the Phoenix Suns before taking off for six of the next seven and 10 of 14 on the road.
Chicago at Charlotte 7:00 PM ET
The Charlotte Hornets will try to avoid their second four-game losing streak of the month when they host the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. The Hornets had a 13-point lead with under nine minutes remaining at Washington on Friday before fading late and falling 125-118 to finish a 1-3 road trip.
Orlando at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers are winners of eight of their last 11 games and are coming off a dominating performance at Brooklyn on Wednesday in a 115-86 victory. The Pacers will try to pick on an injured opponent and tick off another win when they host the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
Toronto at Atlanta 7:30 PM ET
Life without Kawhi Leonard has been just fine so far for the Toronto Raptors, who look for the likes of Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam to continue leading the way entering Saturday’s matchup at the Atlanta Hawks. The defending NBA champions won for the seventh time in their past nine games Wednesday, dispatching Orlando at home 113-97 as VanVleet scored 24 points with seven assists and Siakam added 18 points and 11 rebounds.
San Antonio at New York 7:30 PM ET
The longest losing streak in the Gregg Popovich era in San Antonio stands at eight losses in a row, a dismal slide the Spurs will attempt to end Saturday at the New York Knicks. The Spurs shot 50.6 percent and turned it over just 11 times but still fell 115-104 at Philadelphia on Friday while losing their sixth in a row on the road.
Miami at Philadelphia 7:30 PM ET
The surprising Miami Heat look to record their sixth straight victory when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Miami is just a half-game behind the Milwaukee Bucks for best record in the Eastern Conference after posting a 116-108 road win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
Portland at Cleveland 8:00 PM ET
A 53-win team a season ago, the Portland Trail Blazers are in danger of losing four straight games for the second time already in 2019-20. They'll try to avoid that fate when they carry a three-game slide into a Saturday night matchup with the host Cleveland Cavaliers.
L.A. Lakers at Memphis 8:00 PM ET
Anthony Davis looks to torment Memphis for the second time this season when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Grizzlies on Saturday. Davis recorded 40 points and 20 rebounds - the seventh such game in his career - when the Lakers rolled to a 120-91 home win over Memphis on Oct. 29.
Detroit at Milwaukee 8:30 PM ET
Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo has never averaged six assists in a season but that could change this year as he continues to improve his MVP game. The Bucks try for their seventh straight victory when they host the Detroit Pistons on Saturday with coach Mike Budenholzer continuing to create opportunities for Antetokounmpo to make his teammates better.
New Orleans at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Pelicans are in search of their fourth straight victory when they visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday. New Orleans sputtered out of the gate with just three victories in its first 12 games before responding with three wins by an average of 7.3 points.
