Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards led the team tonight into a crucial group stage matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Despite admittedly not understanding

The New York Knicks (9-5, 4th in Eastern Conference) pay a visit to the surging Orlando Magic (9-7, 8th in East) tonight at the Kia Center (5 ET, NBA TV).

If Portland wins, Denver has to run up the score on the Spurs on Friday to advance as the top second-place team. The Nuggets currently have a better point differential than the Clippers and Suns, but they trail the Wolves and Thunder in the tiebreaker.

The Spurs kept winning, despite missing both Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. Point guard De’Aaron Fox reminded everyone why he’s a former All-Star by dropping 26 points and 9 assists. Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker had strong performances for Atlantan in the losing effort.

Tyy2.0: The most surprising player on my roster is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He’s currently ranked No. 2 in points per game (32.8) in the NBA and has been carrying my fantasy team.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points, Oklahoma City had a 33-4 run and the defending champion Thunder routed the Utah Jazz 144-112 on Friday night in NBA Cup play to improve to 16-1 and push their winning streak to eight.
