November 02, 2018
L.A. Clippers at Orlando 7:00 PM ET
The Los Angeles Clippers seek to record their 10th consecutive victory in the all-time series when they visit the Orlando Magic on Friday in the finale of their three-game road trip. Orlando hasn't prevailed against the Clippers since recording a 98-90 triumph on Nov. 6, 2013.
Houston at Brooklyn 7:30 PM ET
The Houston Rockets lost their swagger, according to coach Mike D'Antoni, and are trying to recapture the magic that led them to the best record in the NBA last season. The Rockets will try to snap a four-game slide when they open a five-game road trip with a visit to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
Oklahoma City at Washington 8:00 PM ET
Dwight Howard will make his team debut when the Washington Wizards host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. The 32-year-old center missed all of training camp and the first seven games of the season with a strained muscle in his buttocks.
Indiana at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers are finding different ways to score and bounced back from a loss by leaning on the bench. The Pacers will try to coax another stellar performance from Domantas Sabonis and company and sweep the two-game road trip when they visit the New York Knicks on Friday.
New York at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
Tim Hardaway Jr. is stringing together exceptional games but it isn't equating to victories for the New York Knicks. The club has dropped six of its last seven games as it enters Friday's road game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Memphis at Utah 9:00 PM ET
The Memphis Grizzlies are defending at a high level and operating efficiently on offense, leading to wins in four of the last five games. The Utah Jazz, who host the Grizzlies on Friday, are trying to ride the same path up the standings and are returning home after stumbling at the end of a four-game road trip.
Toronto at Phoenix 10:00 PM ET
The Toronto Raptors look to continue the best start in franchise history when they open a four-game road trip against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. Toronto's 7-1 start includes a 6-0 mark at home and it now faces a road swing that includes games against the Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings.
Minnesota at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
The Minnesota Timberwolves expect disgruntled superstar Jimmy Butler to suit up on Friday, but they might not need him. The Timberwolves will look for another turn-back-the-clock performance from former MVP Derrick Rose when they continue their road trip by visiting the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Friday.
