Starting Lineups: Nov. 19

Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports

The 2014 offseason champions are set to go toe-to-toe with the actual NBA champions on Wednesday night, as the San Antonio Spurs visit the Cleveland Cavaliers to kick off an ESPN doubleheader at 7 p.m. ET. 

The second half of the twin bill sees the Los Angeles Lakers, fresh off their second win of the season, visit the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, and guard Jason Terry said Houston will take its frustrations out on the Lakers.

Elsewhere, the top teams in each conference square off, as Memphis visits the Toronto Raptors, Bradley Beal may make his season debut, Andrew Wiggins continues his tour of ridiculous assignments trying to cover Carmelo Anthony and a lot more.
