Good morning, it’s Tuesday, January 27th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 28-20 and beat the Orlando Magic yesterday.
They host the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow. We hear a certain someone will be in town. You won’t want to miss it.
Today’s Game of the Day
- Detroit Pistons at Denver Nuggets – 9 PM FanDuel Sports Network, NBA League Pass
Still no Nikola Jokic, but the Nuggets (31-15) are still a team worth watching. That is, if Jamal Murray doesn’t miss this game as well. Murray is currently listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.
Nevertheless, this is a chance for Cavs fans to keep an eye on the Pistons (33-11). Detroit probably won’t relinquish control of the Eastern Conference’s top seed, but you can scout the best team in the East and get a sense for how the Cavs might stack up against them.
The Rest of the NBA Slate
- Portland Trail Blazers at Washington Wizards – 7 PM
- Sacramento Kings at New York Knicks – 7:30 PM
- Milwaukee Bucks at Philadelphia 76ers – 8 PM
- New Orleans Pelicans at Oklahoma City Thunder – 8 PM
- Brooklyn Nets at Phoenix Suns – 9 PM
- LA Clippers at Utah Jazz – 10 PM
Honorable mention to the Clippers and Jazz game. I don’t know why, but I feel like that could end up being an entertaining one.
