NBA week 5 recap: Struggling favorites, Magic ball movement and more
Upcoming games to Watch:
With Thanksgiving and football at the forefront, these are the three best games of the upcoming week.
New Orleans Pelicans @ Philadelphia 76ers — Nov. 21
The two best big men in basketball meet in Philly when Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans take on Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. These superstar matchups between 5s are few to come by, and this one features two-way beacons for their respective teams.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors — Nov. 21
The Western Conference’s hottest team in the Oklahoma City Thunder heads to the Bay to take on the sputtering back-to-back champions in the Golden State Warriors. Russell Westbrook returns after his wife gave birth to a pair of twin girls, and this matchup against the Warriors is always personal to him. Add in the drama in G-State with Draymond Green and Stephen Curry potentially missing this game and this is the game of the week.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Los Angeles Clippers — Nov. 23
Two of the pleasant surprises in the NBA face off in Los Angeles. The Memphis Grizzlies are good when healthy and the Los Angeles Clippers are just a solid team that enjoys playing together and can go 10 deep. In a clash of styles, will the Grizzlies be able to ugly this game up and throw the Clippers off their pace-and-space game?
