The Toronto Raptors (21-14) will visit Quicken Loans Arena to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers (22-9) on Monday.
The Raptors are coming into this game after giving up a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter and ultimately losing to Chicago on Sunday. The Raptors will now face the tough challenge of playing in Cleveland on the second night of a back-to-back. Toronto is however 10-8 on the road and is certainly capable of pulling together to stun any team. They also won the first match up versus the Cavs this season.
The Cavaliers have won their last three in a row. Their latest win came at home against Orlando on Saturday, where they won by 25. The Cavs sit at the top of the Eastern Conference and although LeBron might have some things he would like to improve on as a team, the fact is they are still the team to beat in the East. Cleveland boasts a 14-1 home record, the best in the league besides San Antonio and Golden State. To come into Quicken Loans Arena and grab a W is no easy task for any team and the Raptors will surely have their work cut out for them, especially after a tough home loss and on the second night of a back-to-back.
Toronto sits three games behind Cleveland in the Eastern Conference standings. This is a big game for both teams
Toronto va enchainer deux jours de suite... Cleveland sont très bon a domicile.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (12-22) will be visiting the Wells Fargo Center to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers (3-33), on Monday evening.
With a 2-3 record in their last five games the 76ers are as hot as they have been in recent memory, meaning this will be no walk in the park for the struggling Timberwolves. Philly has been showing signs of life ever since some front office moves were made to help turn things around. The addition of Ish Smith also gives the 76ers a good young point guard who can grow along with their big men and can create off the dribble to give their offense some new dynamics. Despite losing their last two games, the 76ers have still won two of their last five and will be opening up a six-game home stand with this match against Minnesota. This could be a crucial stretch for them to build some kind of rhythm and confidence.
The Timberwolves will be coming into this game on a two-game losing streak. Their last loss came against Milwaukee, on Saturday. In that game the Timberwolves shot poor percentages, hitting 39 percent from the field and 21 percent from deep. On top of poor shooting, they also gave up 16 turnovers, resulting in a 10-point home loss. Minnesota does however have a decent 7-9 road record, which is better than their 5-13 home record. Therefore, being away from home does not seem to phase the 'Wolves.
This is a must win for Minnesota, if they hope to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot in the West.
Philadelphie retrouve du jeu en ce moment ,Minnesota c'est vraiment pas top.

The Boston Celtics (18-15) will visit the Barclays Center on Monday to face off against the Brooklyn Nets (10-23).
The Celtics will be looking for redemption after they lost at home to the Nets last Saturday. In that game Brook Lopez finished with 30 points. The Nets came up with the 100-97 win by exploiting the mismatch that Lopez posed down low. Now the Celtics have the chance to adjust their defense and throw a counter punch to redeem that home loss. Avery Bradley suffered a contusion to his hip in that game and is questionable for this matchup.
The Nets are 2-1 in the season series against the Celtics and will be looking to send their division rival packing with another upset. Despite Boston's success this year, they have had trouble against the much bigger Nets, who have learned to lean on Brook Lopez for the advantage down low. The Nets however will be missing their other leading scorer Jarrett Jack, who is out for the season with a torn ACL and a torn meniscus in his right leg. The Nets are 6-10 at home this season, which is much better than their 4-13 road record.
The Celtics are coming into this game having lost their last two but they do have a solid 9-6 road record and will be feeling the urgency to win, as Detroit and Charlotte are right on their tail for the eighth spot in the East.
Petite réaction de Boston ? Après la victoire a l'arraché des nets sur leurs parquet...??
Boston Celtics h-4 @ 1.50 / Boston Celtics h-6 @ 1.70
The Orlando Magic (19-15) will face the Detroit Pistons (18-16) at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit on Monday.
The Magic may be without youngster Elfrid Payton, who suffered a bruise to his left ankle on Saturday while playing the Cavaliers. He is listed as questionable. If Payton does not play, it's likely that reserve Shabazz Napier will see an start and see an uptick in minutes, since the regular backup point guard C.J. Watson is still out with a calf injury. The Magic will try to break their two-game losing streak when they head to the Palace, but in order to win, they are going to have to find better offensive flow, as they were only able to muster up 79 points against the Cavaliers on Saturday, with the young Aaron Gordon being their highest scorer with 11 points. Season points average leader Nikola Vucevic was very quiet against the Cavs, with only 13 minutes and four total points.
The Pistons have been on a skid as of late, losing four of their last five games. Luckily for them they are at home, as they have a three-game losing streak while traveling currently. Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson will likley be the biggest threats the Pistons will bring to the game, as Drummond ended last game against the Pacers with a double-double of 11 points and 18 rebounds, while Jackson had 17 points and nine assists.

The Indiana Pacers (19-14) will face the Miami Heat (20-13) in the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami on Monday.
The Pacers will head into Miami without any injuries holding them back, and coming off of a win against Detroit on Saturday, they will look to build on this to gain on Atlanta and Toronto in the Eastern Conference standings. Paul George has dominated in their past two games, scoring over 30 points consecutively. George is averaging 24.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 36 minutes per game.
The Heat will enter their second night of back-to-back games after a dominant win over the Wizards on the road. They will look to build on a two-game win streak on Monday. The biggest issue that the Heat will present to the Pacers is big man Hassan Whiteside. Whiteside is averaging 12.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks per game. He is likely to matchup against Indiana's Ian Mahinmi, who is still dealing with soreness from a knee injury. Using their size and stopping points in the paint will be a big factor the Heat could use to their advantage on Monday.
Deux équipes au complet... un bon match a regarder avec de beau duel
(Bosh ,Wade et Miles ,Georges...)
The San Antonio Spurs (29-6) will face the Milwaukee Bucks (14-21) in the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
The Spurs will look to win their fifth consecutive game as they travel to Milwaukee, but they will be without starting point guard Tony Parker. Without Parker, Patty Mills will likely start and Kyle Anderson will see an uptick in minutes. Luckily, this is the only injury the team is dealing with currently. Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldrige continue to be the biggest threats offensively for the Spurs. The Spurs are a veteran team with a veteran resumé, and continue to bring a lot of defensive depth to the table.
The Bucks are coming off a hard fought win in Minnesota, and will get the home court advantage against the second place in the West Spurs. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a game-time decision for Monday after chipping a tooth Saturday night, but seems probable for the game. If he ends up missing a game, Jabari Parker would likely start in his place. The Bucks biggest challenge will be creating offense against the defensive-minded Spurs, and will need to utilize their asset in big man Greg Monroe in-the-paint skills in order to pull out the win. Since being traded to the Bucks, Monroe has averaged 15.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while starting at center.
Milwaukee accroche les gros... (Golden , Indiana , Oklahoma... )

The Sacramento Kings (13-20) will play the Oklahoma City Thunder (24-10) at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City on Monday.
It's been yet another rough season in Sacramento, but things seem to be turning around a bit with their recent play. They have won six of their last 11 games and are coming off their best game of the season. They dropped a season-high 142 points in a blowout win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and that was the George Karl offense at its finest. Rajon Rondo continues to have a resurgent season, as he now leads the league in assists with 11.3 per game. DeMarcus Cousins is also having an All-Star campaign and it's a wonder how they are still so bad with these two performing like this. The problem has been the defense, as the Kings rank dead-last in points allowed this season. That will surely be an issue in this game against one of the most potent offenses in the NBA.
The Thunder come into this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Not only have they won 13 of their last 15 games, they currently hold a 16-4 record at home this season. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are playing at top levels and both rank in the top-five in points scored this season. Having two legitimate MVP candidates on the same team is a scary sight and Oklahoma City has just that. They also rank second in the NBA in scoring and they should have no problem dropping 110-plus against this bad defense. In fact, the Thunder come into this game as a double-digit favorite.

The Houston Rockets (16-19) will play the Utah Jazz (15-17) at the Vivnt Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, UT on Monday.
The Rockets appeared to be out of their slump a week ago, but have looked even worse since. In fact, they have lost four-straight and five of their last six coming into this matchup. The defense has been a nightmare recently, as they have allowed over 115 points per game in their last four games. That's been the problem all season though, as they rank bottom-five in points allowed this season. This might be a good opportunity for the defense to get on track a bit, as they play one of the worst offenses in the league.
Utah is almost the exact opposite of this Houston team, as they have one of the best defenses with a terrible offense. The difference is that Utah has won three of their last four games and are playing with back-ups. They are currently without Derick Favors, Alec Burks and Rudy Gobert, which is nearly half of the team's offensive production. Over their last four games, the Jazz have been allowing about 91 points per game and playing at an incredibly slow pace. They'll need to muck this game down once again to try to slow down a potent offense while also trying to get their offense on track against a terrible defense. The contrast of styles make this a fascinating game, which is why the spread is dead-even heading into this matchup.

The Memphis Grizzlies (18-17) will play the Portland Trail Blazers (15-21) at the Moda Center in Portland, OR on Monday.
The Grizzlies offense has really let them down this season and they are coming off an ugly performance in their most recent game. They lost an overtime battle to the Utah Jazz, while scoring just 87 points. That poor effort moved them to 29th in the NBA in scoring and it appears there's no end in sight to these offensive struggles. The most surprising stat with this team is that they still rank 27th in rebounding and that number is not synonymous with the grit-n-grind formula they used to dominate with. Zach Randolph was also moved back to the bench in the last game and it's strange to see them belittle such a valuable player to their organization. This is a good opportunity for Memphis to win though, as they come into this matchup projected to be small favorites.
Portland comes into this game in one of their best stretches of the season, as they have won four of their last five games. That stretch started with a blowout victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and it's clear a big win like that over an elite team gave them some serious confidence. They have played all of those games without their best player though, as Damian Lillard continues to nurse some plantar fascia issues. C.J. McCollum has taken over as the point guard in Lillard's absence and is playing at the highest level of his professional career. This is a great time for the other players to develop and it's scary to think what this frontcourt will look like with Lillard and McCollum at full throttle. It doesn’t appear Lillard will be back on Monday as he missed Sunday's game, but he is projected to return within a weeks time.
Portland sera en B2b, Memphis vont mieux vraiment...
Memphis gagne @ 1.80
The Charlotte Hornets (17-16) will have the unfortunate task of playing the Golden State Warriors (31-2) at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA on Monday.
The Hornets were one of the surprise teams in the NBA to begin the season, but regression has been hitting them hard lately. They have lost eight of their last 11 games and the injury bug has bitten this team hard. Al Jefferson is going to miss the next six weeks due to knee surgery and Nicolas Batum has been playing with an injured toe for a couple weeks now. The defense is what is struggling most right now though, as they have allowed at least 98 points in 13-straight games. Nothing could be worse than traveling to Oakland in the midst of your worst stretch of the season and that's just what Charlotte has to do here.
Golden State has not been playing their dominant style of basketball lately, but they are still winning games. In their most recent game, they barely beat a beleaguered Denver Nuggets team in overtime. Steph Curry returned from a two-game absence in that game, but had to leave early because of a shin contusion. Warriors fans have to be somewhat concerned about the recent injuries to their MVP, as he had some reoccurring ankle injuries in the past. The play of Draymond Green has to be encouraging though, as he now leads the NBA with six triple-doubles this season and continues to play at a ridiculously high level. Look for Golden State to be a double-digit favorite in this matchup against a struggling Hornets team.
