Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors

Thursday, Jan. 11, at 8 p.m. on TNT

LeBron James and the Cavaliers will face one of the East's most surprising contenders in the Raptors on Thursday night. Point guard Kyle Lowry is a standout player for the under-the-radar Raptors, averaging 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists. Isaiah Thomas is quickly making an impact for the Cavs after his return from injury — he made his first start of the season against the Magic on Saturday and scored 19 points.

Golden State Warriors at Milwaukee Bucks

Friday, Jan. 12, at 8 p.m. on ESPN | fuboTV

Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo will take on the West-leading Golden State Warriors for the first time this season. The Warriors' Steph Curry has averaged 35.3 points in his first three games since missing almost a month with an ankle injury. The Bucks, who stand sixth in the East, will have their hands full matching up, but this nationally-televised game should produce many highlights.

Houston Rockets at Phoenix Suns

Friday, Jan. 12 at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN | fuboTV

The Suns are at the bottom of the Western Conference, but this matchup should produce plenty of points. The Rockets have had mixed results lately, with losses to the Wizards, Celtics and Pistons damaging the early momentum the team generated. This game is also a chance to see the budding young talents on the Suns in Devin Booker, Josh Jackson and Dragan Bender.
