Welcome to Wednesday night. Hopefully, you’re ready for some NBA basketball because we’ve got a lot of it coming your way. There are 10 games on the docket, with two-thirds of the league ready to suit up and hit the court tonight.
Early on we’ll see an interesting Western Conference matchup between the red-hot Nuggets and the Grizzlies, who are looking to keep up their improvement from last season. Meanwhile, in the Eastern Conference, two teams looking to break into the top tier will do battle when the 76ers travel to Indy to take on the Pacers.
Later on, Jimmy Butler will be back in action when the Timberwolves meet another struggling team, LeBron James‘ Los Angeles Lakers.

Simmons and Embiid rock the rim
Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid each threw down an impressive slam early against the Pacers. First, Embiid stretched his way across the lane. Then Simmons shook Bojan Bogdanovic and went straight in for the flush.
Griffin with the double spin move
Blake Griffin broke out an extremely rare move against the Magic, using two spins along the baseline to score a nice little bucket.
Drummond banks in 3 to beat the buzzer
Andre Drummond said he was serious about shooting 3-pointers this season, but this probably wasn’t the way he was expecting them to go down. Late in the first quarter against the Magic, he took the inbounds pass and banked in the triple to beat the buzzer.
Butler back as Wolves take on Lakers
Here is you seemingly daily Jimmy Butler update. Yes, he’s still on the Timberwolves, and yes he will be in the lineup on Wednesday night when they take on LeBron James and the Lakers. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to when Butler suits up these days, except that he is always in the lineup when the Wolves are on national TV. And with this game being on ESPN, Butler is playing. Because if he didn’t the league would start to get mad.
Sexton earns first career start
After coming off the bench so far this season, rookie Collin Sexton entered the starting lineup for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury to incumbent starter George Hill. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft should have more opportunity to put his talents on display in his first NBA start.
