| Last time these two teams met, Pacers' Roy Hibbert was sending Knicks' Carmelo Anthony's dunk back. |

This game is only on the list because this is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Semifinals series. Sure, there are other rematches from last year's playoffs, but these two teams are headed in opposite directions. The Pacers just suffered their first defeat, but they have been playing excellent basketball. On the other hand, the Knicks have looked like the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. They have been unable to win at home, and this should be a game the Knicks wake up for.

| Hawks' head coach Mike Budenholzer has the Hawks a game behind the Heat in the division early in the season. |

No one seems to know who the Hawks have on their team, but they are playing good basketball and they're just a game behind the Heat in the Southeast Division. While Josh Smith has departed, Paul Millsap seems to be the better fit for the front line. Mike Budenholzer has the Hawks spreading the floor and rotating around the perimeter, just like Gregg Popovich does with his Spurs. Don't be surprised if the Hawks pull off an early season upset.

| Damian Lillard and the Trailblazers have been an early season surprise. |
Saturday November 23, 2013 10:30pm
No one is talking about the Trailblazers, but they have the second best record in the Western Conference behind the Spurs. They're also the team that has handed the Spurs their only loss. LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging just over 22 a game while pulling down nine boards. Currently on a six-game winning streak, the Trailblazers will have to complete their East trip and play the Bulls at home before facing the Warriors. This could be a very entertaining game.

| Timberwolves' Kevin Love and Rockets' James Harden figures to provide scoring punch in this matchup. |
Saturday November 23, 2013 8pm
The Timberwolves play the Clippers at home where they'll look for revenge. However, we haven't seen the Timberwolves' offense against the Rockets' offense yet. This should be entertaining, as both teams shoot the ball well from the outside. Ricky Rubio will be playing the pick and roll game with Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic, while looking to get Kevin Martin opportunities from the outside. The Rockets will look to push the tempo and get Dwight Howard good looks in the paint while feasting from the outside with James Harden, Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin. This should be high scoring.

| Thunder's Serge Ibaka and Clippers' Matt Barnes were ejected from this game last week. |
Thursday November 21, 2013 8pm TNT
Serge Ibaka and Blake Griffin continued their little beef when these two met up last week in Los Angeles, and it got Matt Barnes tossed after he defended his teammate. With Barnes, Griffin and Ibaka on the floor together again for this one, it's a must-see. Ibaka and Griffin will probably get tangled up again. Just don't expect Barnes to jump in this time. He's apparently tired of getting fined for it.
