The New York Knicks put up a fight against two of the best teams in the league only to fall short but managed to break through against a crosstown rival on Sunday. The Knicks will try to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this month when they visit the struggling Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers are battling through injuries and staying in the win column, with a home victory over the Western Conference-best Los Angeles Lakers the latest sign that they are ready to compete at the highest level. The 76ers will try to maintain that intensity when they finish off the two-game homestand by hosting the NBA-worst Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

Zion Williamson continues to make an impact and he aims to enjoy another strong effort when the New Orleans Pelicans visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Williamson is fresh off his first career double-double as he delivered 21 points and 11 rebounds in a 123-108 home victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

The Atlanta Hawks remain one of the worst teams in the NBA in terms of wins and losses but are also one of the most exciting. The Hawks will try to follow up a 152-point effort in a win over Washington on Sunday when they visit the defending champion Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.

The Boston Celtics have had very different results on the defensive end through the first two legs of their three-game road trip. They'll try to find some consistency on that end of the floor and head home with a winning trip when they visit the Miami Heat on Tuesday.

The Memphis Grizzlies will try to continue their solid play when they host the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Memphis is seeking its 10th victory in the past 12 games when it faces a Denver squad that won eight of its last 11 contests.

The Washington Wizards allowed 152 points to the Eastern Conference-worst Atlanta Hawks on Sunday and now have to figure out a way to stop the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks.

The Dallas Mavericks aim to post their seventh victory in nine games when they host the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The Mavericks are looking to claim their 30th win in game No. 47 of the season after averaging just 30 over the past three seasons.
