Third Game Of The Night Postponed

Both the Lakers and Clippers have also had their respective games postponed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

The Lakers were set to take on Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs while the Clippers were scheduled to play the Charlotte Hornets.

LeBron James tweeted/posted on X about the fires that continue to ravage Los Angeles, saying he prays “this nightmare ends soon.”

An alternate date for these games will be provided at another time.

Atlanta will gladly take a little extra time to recoup, having just completed 2-4 road trip where the only wins came against the lowly Toronto Raptors and Utah Jazz.

Houston, meanwhile, is flying high with eight wins in its last 11 games to take control of the second seed in the West.

The Lakers and Clippers are neck-and-neck in the standings, separated by a half-game.

San Antonio has lost three straight to fall to 18-19 and just outside the Play-In Tournament picture while Charlotte at 8-27 is firmly in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes.

Edwards, Morant Take Center Stage

With the postponed games, a battle between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies looms as the highlight of the night.

Anthony Edwards and Ja Morant are two of the most exciting players in the league and will be looking to showcase their best.

Morant recently returned from a shoulder injury while Edwards has been scorching hot of late, scoring a career-high 53 points a week ago.
