TL;DR – Just the nationally televised schedule for the week.
Tuesday
San Antonio at Houston NBATV 8PM
Chandler Parsons has been amazing. The Houston Rockets are an absolutely dangerous team considering the lack of defense that they play
Wednesday
Oklahoma at Miami ESPN 7PM
This finals rematch would be a lot different with Westbrook. Without him, it features scoring machine Kevin Durant and a head to head matchup between the presumptive MVP candidates.
Chicago at San Antonio 930PM
The defensive minded Spurs have been successful despite losing their main defensive players to injuries.
Thursday
Cleveland at New York TNT 8PM
This is all an opportunity to talk about Kyrie Irving. Kyrie's teams have been awful. He's benefitted from a weak guard class in the East to get to the top of the All Star voting. Thanks to Rose and Rondo's injuries Kyrie is arguably the best PG in the East. Jeff Teague is also on the short list.
LA Clippers at Golden State TNT 1030PM
The Clippers have been fine since losing Chris Paul. Part of the reason is Darren Collison. Years ago, when he played for New Orleans he was thrust into a starting role when CP3 was injured. Now, he's doing the same thing. Opportunities to be a starting point guard are limited (only 30 spots in the league)
Friday
Oklahoma City at Brooklyn ESPN 8PM
The Nets have been an extremely successful team this month. This is happening despite the loss of Brook Lopez.
Saturday
Miami at New York ESPN 830PM
The Heat-Knicks rivalry was the biggest rivalry of my youth. The Knicks were second for the majority of last year as opposed to the Heat who won the championship last year. Last, seeing the matchup between Carmelo Anthony (the 3rd overall pick in 2003) go against Lebron James (the 1st overall pick) is always interesting.
Sunday
No Nationally Televised games on Sunday (It's Super Bowl Sunday.)
