New Orleans at New York 7:30 PM ET
The New York Knicks were hoping to use a come-from-behind road win at Milwaukee as a stepping stone but instead fell into a 29-point hole at Indiana the next night and could not find their way out. The Knicks will try to avoid an eighth loss in nine games when they return home to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.
Oklahoma City at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler is pushing himself into the MVP discussion with his play of late while Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook has been in that debate since the start of the season. The two will square off against each other when the Bulls host the Thunder on Monday.
Dallas at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
The battle for last place in the Western Conference takes on a head-to-head tone when the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. The two teams are tied for the worst record in the West at 11-26 despite both coming into the campaign with higher expectations.
