November 02, 2015
Cleveland at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET

Milwaukee at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets have suffered three straight double-digit defeats to
begin the season and aim to get into the victory column when they host
the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Brooklyn has lost by an average of 17.3
points during its woeful start and faces a Milwaukee squad that is 0-3
for the first time since the 1976-77 season.
San Antonio at New York 7:30 PM ET
The New York Knicks have looked like world-beaters on the road, but their one home outing resulted in a double-digit loss. The Knicks will try again to translate their early solid play to Madison Square Garden on Monday when they host the San Antonio Spurs amid a run of extremely tough opponents.
Oklahoma City at Houston 8:00 PM ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder attempt to remain unbeaten and the host
Houston Rockets try to halt a winless start when the two squads square
off Monday. Oklahoma City is 3-0 for the first time since the 2011-12
campaign, while Houston's 0-3 start is its worst since losing five
straight to open the 2010-11 season.
Portland at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
Top overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns looks for his third consecutive
double-double when the undefeated Minnesota Timberwolves host the
Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Towns has excelled in his first two
NBA games and is averaging 21 points and 13 rebounds while shooting 58.6
percent from the field.
Memphis at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
Stephen Curry was the NBA MVP and the Golden State Warriors were the best team in the league and eventual NBA champions last season, and not much has changed in 2015-16. Curry will try to follow up a 53-point outburst and keep his team undefeated when the Warriors host the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.
Phoenix at L.A. Clippers 10:30 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers are doing a fine job integrating the new pieces to the roster, but it is still Blake Griffin’s team. Griffin and the Clippers will try to move to 4-0 when they host the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
