Hot on the heels of last weeks London game, the NBA is once again treating us (the UK viewer) to sensibly scheduled Basketball. Martin Luther King day has long since become the NBA’s day and from 5.30pm until almost breakfast time you can gorge on hoops in a Christmas Day style with the added bonus of not having to build lego sets and deal with visiting family members. The Warriors & Cavaliers renew acquaintance as Cleveland look to prove they are capable of playing something approaching passable defence, whilst the Knicks hop over to Brooklyn to take on their suddenly noisy neighbours. Philly visit Boston on Thursday needing wins to stay in the play off picture and Houston hope to have James Harden back by Saturday as the Warriors roll in to town to finish their five game road trip. Again we aim to be your weekly guide to watching the NBA in the UK.
