Grab a plate of leftovers and park yourself on the couch this Black Friday as the NBA has a 10-game slate beginning at noon ET.
After the league takes a day off on Thanksgiving, the stars return for a handful of interesting matchups. Knicks vs. Hornets kicks off the day with a matchup of Jalen Brunson and LaMelo Ball. Ball is playing the best basketball of his career, scoring 35, 50 and 44 in three straight contests.
The Cavaliers visit the Hawks and Grizzlies host the Pelicans in the next two games which will both be available on NBA TV. Cleveland is having one of the best starts to a season in NBA history despite not making many significant rotation changes in the offseason.
The two featured matchups of the night are Clippers vs. Timberwolves and Thunder vs. Lakers, both of which will be live on ESPN. Oklahoma City, although without Chet Holmgren, is still a top seed in the Western Conference and will play the No. 4 seed Lakers during the late window.
There are a lot of games to consume, so get your Black Friday shopping done ahead of time.
