- Game To Watch (Blazers at Warriors, Friday, 10 ET, LP, Cup): Portland’s 139 points and 20-point differential over Golden State on Oct. 24 remains a season’s best.

- Game To Watch (Spurs vs. Grizzlies, Tuesday, 8 ET, NBC/Peacock): The last time these teams met, De’Aaron Fox had his first clutch moment as a Spur, less than a month after being acquired from the Kings – sinking the game-winning 20-foot jumper with two seconds left before being mobbed by his new teammates after the buzzer. What does he have in store for an encore?
Utah Jazz
- Schedule: Tuesday at Lakers, Friday vs. Thunder (Cup), Sunday vs. Lakers
