A typically loaded Wednesday night slate sees 24 teams in action, headlined by a juicy matchup between championship contenders Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, led by respective early MVP favorites Steph Curry and James Harden.
The night will also feature a game between arguably the two worst teams in the league, with the New York Knicks remarkably having a chance to pick up a second straight win - after dropping a franchise-record 16 in a row - when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
Both those teams managed to beat the New Orleans Pelicans last week, but the Pelicans are expected to have Anthony Davis back when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.
