He plays with surprising wiggle and shake for a 6-foot-9, 249-pound big.<\/p>\n \u201cThat young man is so incredibly skilled,\u201d said Antonio Daniels, as Queen shook Joker for a stepback jumper. \u201cHe is so skilled.\u201d<\/p>\n Queen\u2019s hot streak has continued since facing Denver.<\/p>\n Over the last three games, the young big has averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, joining\u00a0Zion Williamson as the only Pelicans rookies to collect three straight 20+ point, 5+ rebound games.<\/p>\n When Queen and Zion share the floor this season, New Orleans has posted a 131.2 offensive rating over 76 minutes \u2014 an enlivening contrast to the Pelicans\u2019 27th-ranked ORtg of 107.4.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the best of any two-man combination on the team with more than 50 minutes played.<\/p>\n Will Queen continue to show out? The Pelicans face the Bulls (8 ET<\/a>) tonight on League Pass.<\/p>\n 6:00 PM \/ NOVEMBER 24, 2025<\/p>\n Welcome to a 10-game night in the NBA! Devin Booker and the Suns host the Houston Rockets in the second half of our Peacock doubleheader.<\/p>\n Tonight\u2019s schedule is headlined by a marquee Peacock doubleheader, featuring the streaking Toronto Raptors taking on the third-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers (7 ET<\/a>) and a Western showdown between the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns (9:30 ET<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Raptors have won seven straight games, catapulting them to second in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n Scottie Barnes has been doing a bit of everything over that span, averaging 18.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 blocks.<\/p>\n His unselfishness has been a theme \u2014 the Raptors are fifth in the NBA in offensive rating (119.2) while posting a tie for the league\u2019s best assist-to-turnover ratio (2.2).<\/p>\n Keep an eye on Barnes, as well as fellow stars Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, as they face off with Evan Mobley and the Cavaliers talented defense.<\/p>\n Cleveland\u2019s posted a 111.5 defensive rating and +7.4 net rating in the month of November, achieving a 9-3 record over the month.<\/p>\n The Rockets and Suns completed a massive trade this offseason, sending 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant to Houston for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and a host of first-round picks.<\/p>\n Green (hamstring) and Durant (personal reasons) are out tonight. But it\u2019s a fun matchup nonetheless. The Suns are thriving, winning three in a row to rise to sixth in the conference, as Brooks (21.4 ppg) is having one of the best offensive seasons of his career.<\/p>\n Will he deliver against his former team tonight?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll bring you the battle on Peacock.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the complete slate:<\/p>\n Detroit Pistons vs. Indiana Pacers, 7 ET<\/a>
\nTyler Herro is expected to make his season debut for the Heat against the Mavericks (7:30 ET<\/a>).
\nThe Pistons can tie the 2003-04 and 1989-90 Pistons for the longest win streak in franchise history at 13 against the Pacers (7 ET<\/a>).<\/p>\n
