Welcome to a 7-game Friday night in the NBA!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

In the first of two marquee matchups on NBA TV tonight, the Pistons and Hawks square off in an Eastern Conference showdown (7 ET, NBA TV<\/a>). Detroit won the previous two outings this season, most recently a 99-98 grudge match back on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n

Following a solid 9-7 start to the 2025-26 campaign, Chicago has dropped seven in a row and sits at 9-14 overall. The Bulls pay a visit to the 7-17 Charlotte Hornets (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>) with both squads looking to get back in the win column.<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, the Pacers will try for a third consecutive win when they battle the 76ers (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>), who will be playing just their third game this season with both Joel Embiid and Paul George active. Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle is one win shy<\/a> of becoming the 11th coach in NBA history to reach 1,000 career wins.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the nation\u2019s capital to face the 3-19 Washington Wizards (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>) as they aim to find their offensive rhythm. The Cavs are 2-5 over their last seven contests.<\/p>\n

Memphis, a team moving in the opposition direction than Cleveland recently, will try for a third straight victory when they host the Utah Jazz (8 ET, League Pass<\/a>). The Grizzlies are 5-1 over their last six and 7-3 over their last 10 games. Through their first 14 games of the season, Memphis was 4-10.<\/p>\n

In Friday\u2019s lone interconference tilt, the Nets are in Dallas to take on Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks (8:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Both squads are coming off of a win their last time out, and the Mavs have been playing their best basketball of the year so far, going 4-1 over their last five.<\/p>\n

For the nightcap on NBA TV, Julius Randle and the Timberwolves face the Warriors in The Bay (10 ET, NBA TV<\/a>). Anthony Edwards has been ruled out with a foot injury, but there\u2019s a chance Stephen Curry will suit up for Golden State for the first time since Nov. 26 against the Rockets.<\/p>\n
