Top Storylines 👉📝

Orlando looks to keep surging against San Antonio
The Magic were projected to be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, but a 1-4 start had fans horrified. They’ve come back by winning 12 of 16 games since then, doing all of that damage without Paolo Banchero. San Antonio has also been successful without its superstar, posting a 6-2 record across their last eight games without Victor Wembanyama.
Milwaukee and Detroit renew rivalry
Milwaukee won 25 of 26 games over Detroit before this season, but the Pistons beat them in their one matchup this year. That shows the tides are turning between these teams, with the Pistons posting an Eastern Conference-best 17-4 record while the Bucks sit at 9-13.
Dallas and Miami close the night on NBATV
Miami has been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA, winning 14 of its first 21 games. They also rank second in points scored. Dallas has been one of the biggest disappointments, entering this matchup with a 7-15 record. With that said, Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis have looked outstanding recently, and it could be a sign of a positive stretch right around the corner.
