(Photos by Michael Gonzales\/NBAE via Getty Images)<\/p>\n To tip off the Peacock \/ NBC doubleheader, the Cavaliers are in San Antonio to battle the surging Spurs (8 ET<\/a>). Cleveland has lost two straight while San Antonio had their 8-game win streak snapped on Saturday night<\/a> against the Jazz.<\/p>\n Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks square off against LaMelo Ball and the Hornets (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>), who will be going for a third consecutive win. Giannis dropped 29 points and 8 rebounds in his first game<\/a> back from an 8-game absence.<\/p>\n The Suns are aiming for a fourth straight victory tonight in the nation\u2019s capital when they battle the Washington Wizards (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Phoenix will be without Mark Williams, who\u2019s serving a one-game suspension<\/a> for his role in an on-court altercation on Saturday.<\/p>\n Brooklyn is looking for a third consecutive win of their own when they host Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (7:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n Bam Adebayo (back) is listed as probable for Miami\u2019s home tilt with the Denver Nuggets after missing the last two games (7:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>). The Heat won both contests with Bam on the shelf.<\/p>\n Paolo Banchero and the Magic are in Toronto to take on the Raptors (7:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Both teams are coming off of a victory their last time out, with Scottie Barnes setting a franchise record with 25 rebounds in a 141-127 OT win<\/a> against the Warriors on Sunday.<\/p>\n In a matchup between two squads fighting to get back in the win column, the Timberwolves travel to take on the Bulls in an interconference tilt (8 ET, League Pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n Houston, winners of two straight, host the struggling Pacers, losers of eight in a row (8 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Kevin Durant poured in a cool 30 points in 29 minutes during the Rockets\u2019 117-100 win<\/a> over Cleveland on Saturday.<\/p>\n
