MUST WATCH:

Brooklyn Nets at New Orleans Pelicans
These two teams have stormed up to near the top of their respective conferences and both are playing great basketball right now. The Nets just had a 12-game winning streak snapped but have turned their season around under coach Jacque Vaughn after firing Steve Nash. Kevin Durant has shone, and Ben Simmons has found his stride as a role player and complementary option. Can this red-hot team keep winning? This is a tough road test, but the 24–14 Pelicans will be without Zion Williamson due to a hamstring injury.
